Highlights of my Day... Tuesday, April 20

1. Had an early morning meeting that was beyond early. It was scheduled for 7:40am but I had to leave at 7am for it, so I woke up at 6am with anticipation of getting in a good morning jog before heading out.

2. Ya, the jog never happened. I woke up, slapped the alarm clock a couple of times, and then called out “spoon”… that’s one of Snickers new words… hahaha. I thought him what it meant ‘to spoon’, so on average he wakes up twice during the night, nudges me, and blurts out “spoon me”… hahaha. I got to give it to the guy, he definitely makes for one super adorable husband. I love him to pieces.

3. My morning meeting was a total success and I am scheduled to come back tomorrow, Thursday and then Friday… sweet.

4. My usual daily 5pm nap time got switched to 10am. Waking up so early today just about killed me and by 10am I was more than half in the bag.

5. Snickers lectured me today about Little Miss ‘I’m-cruising-for-more-than-a-bruising’, telling me that I should give her a break. Although he agreed that she needs to brush up on her manners, he told me “you could change her life”. He then continued, telling me about why Motor Cross introduced her to our boxing club. She’s an orphan, a middle-school orphan who has grown up under the care of the city and who Motor Cross met at the place where he does his military service in Cheonan. She hit a soft spot with Motor Cross and so he’s kind of taken her under his wing as a kind of older brother. Though I still think this doesn’t fully excuse her from exercising manners, I felt sorry for her and wanted start over with her. I was too harsh on her. Snickers is always telling me “Change your mind, change your life” but today he challenged me by telling me to “Change her mind, change her life”.

6. Honestly, I really didn’t know what to do or how to really apply Snickers’ advice, I mean, I didn’t want her to feel like a charity case but I also didn’t want to continue treating her the way I had been.

7. After boxing, when I was taking off my gear and getting ready to leave, Little Miss (minus the rest of the original name I had given her) sat down beside me. “Are you really married?” she asked me. I laughed when she said she envied me and that she wanted a husband too. “But you’re like 13 years old. Enjoy being a kid. You have your whole life to find love, so enjoy the wait and don’t push it”, was my advice.

8. Got ‘bonus public kisses’ at boxing from Snickers tonight for being a newly refined ‘good girl’, as Snickers called me… hahaha.

9. Was put in such an ironic situation tonight. To think that Snickers didn’t get a security job because of his bad history check yet at 2am a certain security guard at a particular establishment willingly handed me a set of keys. I don’t even work there anymore. Great security.

10. Found a box of 50 burgers… I’m not joking! Snickers and I were returning to Ggum Guum when we came across a random box in the middle of a parking lot. It must have dropped out of a delivery truck. It read ‘meat’ across the sides of the box, so Snickers scooped it up to take it home with us. Upon arriving back home, we ripped open the box and there before us was 50 bulgogi burgers individually wrapped. Snickers laughed out loud and thought it was great. I, on the other hand, questioned what the heck we would do with 50 bulgogi burgers that we don’t even particularly like to start off with let alone would ever manage to consume 50 before the expiry date (a week later). Snickers scarfed down one and I watched. Ggum Guum instantly stank of bulgogi, so I made him store the box out on the balcony. Maybe I’ll give one or two to Mi Nam… hahaha.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Would you eat food you found on the street?
