she can wait
this morning my mom made me go with her to grass valley.
she was closing a million dollar deal and wanted me to help out.
so i got up early and went with her on a few errands first.
then we went to pick up josie, the buyer, from the train station.
once we had her in tow we went to a dimsum place for lunch.
josie hardly ate a thing.
i guess you're probably pretty nervous if you're about to spend a million dollars.

pig latin
fun hater
pretty self explanatory, it's the person who hates to have a good time.
it's also usually the person who leaves the party first.
"I don't know how it happened, but I've become a fun hater."

i wish i knew what these were called
after lunch we drove to grass valley.
josie is buying a motel in that area, she's going to run it herself.
josie is a software engineer from san jose.
she was just recently laid off.
i was just recently laid off, running a motel seems like the craziest thing to me.
sidenote: while there the owner served us an array of fruits and snacks.
there is this one fruit, that i don't know the name of, that is so yummy.
i used it a lot as a kid, it's sort of like a plum, only green,
crunchy, avacado shaped, and about the size of a pecan.
i wish i knew what it was called.

it was actually sort of creepy
once they had the deal all sorted out,
the owner, josie, my mom and i went out to eat
at what was probably the only chinese restaurant in grass valley.
the owner seemed to know the restaurant owners pretty well.
so they sat down with us and chatted the whole way.
the whole conversation was in chinese so i didn't pay too much attention
(my chinese isn't that great, i wish it was, but it isn't).
but what i did notice was how much the restaurant lady looked like karenlee,
only she was probably in her mid 50s.
it was uncanny. she even had the same mannerisms. talk about strange.
