Max’s little tail is growing longer, and I find myself unable to cut it off. I know it’s just hair & it’ll grow back, but I just can’t do it yet. It’s so fun to see my Dad’s face when he sees it. He hates it, but since it’s not his kid, he just mumbles under his breath.

Mother’s Day was good. We had lunch with my Mom and then took her to get a mani & pedi. While driving there, I happen to glance at my Mom’s hands, and I am reminded how hard she works. She didn’t think her manicure would last, but it was fine with me. I wanted to her to enjoy having pretty hands & feet, at least for one day.

The black & white is of my girlfriends Mitsu & Maysee. I cut myself out since my head looked too big. Max was right.

Just bought summer clothes for Max & me. Lots of shopping these last few weeks. I bought like 11 dresses. Only dresses for me this summer. Dresses & wedges. Wish the weather would cooperate & be nice already. Been so icky lately.

Look Ma! Purple sticky rice! Made purple sticky rice for the first time last week. I think next time, I will only use the excess water from the black rice instead of mixing the two. The black rice was too crunchy. The hubby & Boo-Boo love purple sticky rice.

I have a huge list of things to do around the house & errands to run. Gotta register Max for a sport this summer (teeball or soccer), in addition to swimming. Might be putting him in summer school as well. Trying to keep him–and me–busy this summer.

    did you boil the black sweet rice or grind it up first before soaking it with the white rice? that usually helps soften it when you steam it.

    Samy: I soaked a little black rice with the white rice, and then I steamed them together. Never done it before so I had no clue, but I will try your method next time. Thanks for the tip!
