Exposed

Request: Hi! Can you do a Brendon Urie imagine where they are secretly dating and they get caught making out by the rest of the band?

“You guys ready to go?”

You, Dan, Nicole, Kenny, Brendon, and Zack have plans to go out for drinks after the show. It is mid way through the tour, which has flown by. You have been on tour selling merch at the shows and handling merchandising and advertising demands on the road. Little did you know how close you would get to everyone- I mean I guess you should have assumed spending 24 hrs a day with these people it would be inevitable. What took you for a complete surprise was how close you and Brendon had grown. You guys had an instant connection and it grew from there. He became one of your best friends like the rest of the guys, but he grew into so much more. It's not that you don’t think the guys would be upset or irritated about yours and Brendon’s relationship, but you both agreed to keep your relationship under wraps. For starters you, the rest of the band, and Zack had such a dynamic and you didn't want to ruin that. What if it made everyone uncomfortable? Could you hang out with just the guys and not be the annoying girlfriend who tags along? Would Nicole feel ostracized- you were the closest to her and you hated not being able to tell her. Dan and Kenny wouldn't be able to see you as just one of the guys if they knew, could they? You raked your brain as you imagined the possibilities of being completely transparent with your relationship and it is terrifying. You wouldn’t forgive yourself if you fucked up anything about this tour, this band, and the crazy time you all had- any of it. So you and Brendon decided to keep your relationship under wraps until the tour ended- when things were settled. But that didn't keep you from Brendon- it couldn't even if you tried. Something between you was electric. You guys would find excuses to sneak off and be together- late night chats outside the bus, quickies in the dressing room, and on the off weeks of tour you would split going to your place and his.

--------------------------------

“Yeah, its really cold though- anyone have a jacket I can steal?”

“Yeah!” Brendon answered, way to quickly “It’s on the bus, we can just run and grab it and we’ll meet you guys there.”

“Cool” Dan said as he finished gathering his belongings “ Y/N just text me when you guys get there”. Everyone aside from you and Brendon started walking to the bar while you two went over to the tour bus.

“You can steal my denim jacket- I think it’s over on the top of my bunk”

You nodded, walked over to the bunk and threw on his jacket. It fit Brendon loose so you basically swam in it, but you loved that jacket. He basically lived in the jacket- it was incredibly worn with loose threads and tears all along the bottom edge and sleeves and the elbows were so worn out and faded. It smelt strongly of pot and after shave as you wrapped it around your body.

“Damn” Brendon exclaims, leaning against the sofa running the walls of the bus.

“What?” you asked walking over to him. You stand facing him, in between his legs. He bites his bottom lip and grabs the edges of the jacket.

“You just look really sexy in my jacket.” He pulls the jacket toward him pulling you along with it. His kisses you softly on the lips, still gripping the worn edges of his jacket. Your kiss gets more passionate quickly as he pulls one of his hands under the jacket to your lower back. You softly bite the bottom of his lip (which you know always turns him on). He pulls back slightly and with a mischievous smile walks toward you as you backup- until your butt is pressed against the counter on the opposing wall. He grabs your waist and lifts you onto the counter. You stretch your hands around his neck and wrap your legs around his waist. His hands find their way under the jacket, which had now fallen revealing your shoulder. Your kisses are passionate and his hands graze further under your loose tank top. You let out a soft moan as he moves from your mouth to your neck and collarbone and

“OH SHIT… uhhh… I”

There at the top of the stairs of the bus was Kenny, wide eyed and probably wishing he was anywhere but there. And in that moment, so did you.

“I just uhhh forgot my wallet sooo Im gooing to … uh… yeah … I’ll see you guys there.” He tripped over his words, avoiding any eye contact with you or Brendon. You couldn't even look at him you were so mortified- you just looked down at your shoes, wishing you could melt into the jacket. Kenny grabs his wallet off the table by the front of the bus and heads back outside. You hear the doors of the bus close shut.

“Shit.” you mutter under your breath and jump off the counter

“Babe, its fine, he probably didnt see anything..”

“Bren.” “Ok so he definitely did…”

You push past Brendon and start pacing the bus. Bredon sits on the sofa, hands in between his legs, hunched over as he watches you pace back and forth. “Y/N” its fine babe, relax. So what- I mean I told you since day one I think it's fine if the guys know.”

You groan and walk over the the counter across from Brendon and lean against it- facing him. “I just… I don't want things to change. If we fucked things up…” “Y/N” He motions you to come over to him as you comply. He grabs your hands in his.

“They were going to find out in a few months anyways, and honestly I'm surprised they don't already know. I mean it was only a matter of time before I lost all restraint and jumped you in the middle of a show or something”

You softly kick his foot as he laughs. His goofy, wide grin makes you chuckle

“It's going to be weird, right?” You ask him, looking in his eyes seeking some sort of assurance or comfort, even though you already knew the answer.

“Absolutely” he answered honestly. He strokes your arm as his other hand squeezes yours. “Everything is fucked?”

“God damn near apocalyptic.”

“Ugh” you pull him up from the sofa “Alright let's go”

-------------------------------------- You walk over to the bar and spot the guys at a table through the window. The staff brings you over to the private room and you throw your phone and wallet on the table.

“Hey- sorry we’re late”. You waited for the jokes, the remarks, and having that very uncomfortable conversation where you had to answer why you tried to hide it, how you guys started dating, blah blah blah- but it was almost unnerving how ordinary the night went. No one said anything about you and Bren- no weird smiles, hinting comments- nothing. The weirdest thing to happen was Kenny talking about the duck he almost fought on the walk to the bar, but at this point in the tour even that seemed pretty normal. At some point someone had to say something? You guys were too close for no one to

“So Kenny did you like the show?”

say something. Brendon sat there with a wide smile, winking at Kenny as he took another sip of his beer. Of course it was Brendon- just couldn't resist the impulse to bring it up. You nudge Brendon hard in the arm which only makes him laugh as he nearly spits out his beer. “I mean very subpar- very subpar” Kenny says in a pompous tone as his begins to swirl the whisky in his glass “The plot line- very predictable. And the male lead, not even good looking. Kind of a prick” He continues to joke with such extravagance “ Too predictable of an ending- solid 7/10.” Everyone laughed and the night went on as you all chat and drank. At one point you and Nicole went to get drinks at the bar “Sooo you didn't tell me Brendon were a thing?” “Ugh I know, I’m sorry. I just.. Didn't want to fuck things up- you know?” You took a sip of your drink “We were going to just wait until after tour but I guess that didn't happen”

Nicole nodded and grabbed her drink from the bartender. “Did you know?” You ask her directly. She was being so nonchalant about the whole thing. “You guys are so chill. I mean it's not like I expected a big hoopla about it or anything but a reaction at least?”

“I mean we didn't know you guys were actually together, but no shit we knew something was going on- we do have eyes”

You laughed as Nicole nudged you, almost knocking you off the bar stool. “Haha no for real though, we all figured something was going on between you two. Just being around you guys- anyone can sense it. I assumed you guys at least talked about it with each other or something- at least I hoped so. And honestly, I am so happy for you guys. When you are around Brendon he is just so much happier- not so... all over the place. I think you really center him.”

You smiled in relief as Nicole continued “Thank god you guys are actually dating- or Zack was about to meddle in haha!”

The remainder of the night was wonderfully ordinary, as you were so grateful it was. You all went back to the bus and spent the remainder of the night writing jokes of songs, making dumb snapchat videos, impersonating each other- you had a particularly good Zach impression if you do say so yourself. As the night progressed everyone trickled to their bunks leaving just you and Bren on the sofa. You sat with your legs bent over his as he played with the rips on the knee of your jeans.

“You know” Brendon looks at you, pushing your hair behind your ear “I'm going to miss the secret dating thing.”

“You know that is your fault. You are the one who offered me your jacket” You smiled at him as he grabbed the collar of his jacket that you hadn't taken off all night.

“Dont regret that” He pulled you in close and with a raspy, tired voice whispered in your ear “You look sexy in my jacket”

A group of people wanted to share a journal together. So this week, I've been journaling (almost) every day, and tomorrow I'm gonna be passing it onto the next person.

It was kinda fun. Bit scary to put my thoughts out there - but not that bad tbh. I figured since I am not gonna keep the journal I should transcribe my thoughts somewhere, so here they are.

Yes, the math bits were included in the journal when I wrote. Just something fun I did. You can try to figure out if it means anything if you want :)

Maple 3.27.21

I don't like journaling .-. mah handwriting sucks, and pen ink takes too long to dry. Apologies If any of this page is smudged as a result ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And no, Maple does not use anything but pen. When mistakes are made, and trust they will definitely be made, you see a lot of bleh <- that. I also missed like three words in the previous sentence, but it's messy to try to go back and put them in :( this is the consequence of writing when brain is running at negative mph... This may be two paragraphs of nothing, but honestly that's how my day goes, usually. Right now I'm listening to this audiobook to fill up my brain and stop it from thinking. It's quite interesting. I read the book back in middle school, and it's taking me on a trip down memory lane. I was listening to this earlier while playing tetris, too. I'm joining a tetris tournament tomorrow, so I've been grinding this week. Hopefully it goes well! It's funny how I spend so much time playing this game which means so little - but somehow, I find fulfillment in the emptiness that it brings me. Breaking personal records is such a meaningless ordeal, but somehow it's something I strive so hard to do. These days, PBs come once every couple of months. It's not worth it.

Maple 3.28.21

Today felt like I did everything and nothing all at the same time. I found out I don't like tetris tournaments. I hung out with some friends. I ate a big dinner. I made some choices I highkey regretted, yet couldn't stop myself from making in the moment. I spent some time sulking over said mistakes by cuddling with roommate. Very thankful for him - I definitely make him so uncomfortable LOL but he puts up with it because he knows touch is my love language. I was debating for awhile today over what I should eat for dinner (or breakfast or lunch or whatever you want to call it :') ) and I realized what I wanted to eat most was my own cooking. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling like cooking, so I had to settle for something else, but this was kind of a wake up call: when's the last time I cooked for myself? hmmm... It's also at the same time pretty cool because less than a year ago, I was still at a place where I strongly disliked my cooking and only ate it because I had to. Crazy how things can change in just a year - my culinary skills must have improved a lot over last summer... I really need to get my car tires fixed tomorrow. I have time tomorrow. I had better go. If I don't, my car is gonna break.

How does one stop beating themselves up for their mistakes? I don't struggle with forgiveness, but oh how I struggle with forgiving myself...

1 + 2 = 4 = 2

Yesterday, we had to record something for Easter that took forever. It was not fun. I kept messing up. And my perfectionist self kept blabbering about wanting to redo certain things. Everyone was tired - it went so long - some people had exams; I can only imagine how annoying it must have been to hear me complaining about doing things again, and yet - and I hate myself for this - I couldn't help but keep bringing it up. Of course, being unsatisfied with the way I played, I volunteered to patch things up in post production. *sigh*, what a mistake that ended up being. Afterwards, I was tired and wanted to go home. Yet, because someone asked, and I guess I was a bit hungry, I decided to go get food with Junshik and Bryan. My ulterior motive was to talk to Bryan about buying cars, so I guess that worked out. But yikes, I only got 7 hours of sleep last night. - Today sucked. I'm realizing more and more that part of depression is the complete dependence on sleep. When I get not enough sleep, I'm not just fatigued: my life is just hell. I straight up no-showed to a meeting and apologized for it 8 hours after the fact (my excuse was that I feel asleep. Wow, something so embarrassing most people would find an excuse for it has now become my go to excuse. Rip). Went to a meetup because I didn't want to cancel - again - so that was fun (sorry if you're reading this. I lied when I said that I was ok :/). Life group was great I wanted to die but I was leading worship so I couldn't just leave. And oh yeah I just spent the last 4 hours after life group mixing that audio clip because stupid ol' me volunteered to do it asap yesterday. Tomorrow will be fun. I have 7 meetings/meetups from 9am to 8pm. I wonder how many I'll cancel last minute, or straight up skip...? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I hate ______.

Maple 3.31.21

9am to 8pm today was rough. It's kinda crazy - when I wake up, I knew it wasn't gonna be a good day...but I really needed it to be at least an okay day. And I think I somehow willed that into existence :O I need to try this again sometime. Didn't cancel or skip a single thing today! (Praise God!!!) After my meetings all ended, I had to tutor for another 3 hours until 11:30, too. That was draining. I also pranked a friend today - told her I was dating right after midnight. Oh I love April Fools. She's the only one I can consistently troll year after year. I also spent a considerable amount of time after midnight trying to figure out how to script Audacity in Python. Useless, sure, but it could save us sound people a couple of minutes every Sunday if I figure it out. This is what my degree is for :') Sleep is going to feel so good tonight.

Maple 4.2.21

I think my handwriting is getting better with this almost-daily practice =) This whole week has been busy-ness from when I wake up to when I go to bed. Hung out with people yesterday for the first time this week, and it was pretty tiring. I can't say I regret it though; I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about certain people. Recently, I've been noticing that people can tell when I'm tired a lot more obviously - someone on worship team who I only interact with on Sundays literally called me out for it. I'm finding that it just sort of slips onto my face, in such a way that I don't notice and can't even recognize it: I'm shocked every time it happens. Maybe it's because I've lost the will to live, so the lack of will to hide it came alongside as well. I accidentally let it slip that I've been brain empty to worship team today, and now there are even more people worried for me, some of whom I barely know. I'm such a burden :( Brain empty is honestly such a mood though. I have too many problems and not enough will to confront them. Better to just avoid. Yeah yeah yeah this is not healthy I know. I'll save doing things the healthy way for tomorrow :')

Maple 4.3.21

Today was supposed to be a more chill day, but it really wasn't... Forced myself to get out of bed for a meetup rather than cancel it. I think if I had cancelled it, everything else I had to do today would have followed suit shortly after.... It ended up being a 2-hour meetup, straight into 2.5 hours of tutoring. As much as they might have been pretty ok tbh, I can't say I enjoyed it. I was so dead afterwards. I wanted to cancel my dinner meetup so bad. But I had already gone shopping earlier today (during the first meetup) so that I could cook for him. And I knew if I cancelled it'd be another week before I'd have a chance. The food would have gone bad. So following 2 tilt-inducing matches of tetris which were supposed to be stress relieving (they were not), commenced 2 hours of cooking, followed by a 3.5 hr meetup. It was... haha... Did I enjoy it? Yup. Did I have a hella-thick mask on the whole time? Also yup. I'm so ready for a long hot shower and an early bedtime. Tomorrow is Easter. I'm not feeling very victorious...

march: week 1

feb27: i felt good going to work this morning! i love going into the office. cole gave me sass when i got in and he bought doughnuts this week for all of us. yay (: my faves so far are the honey dipped and apple fritter. i worked on the non-recording parts of the videos while chatting about pokemon showdown with charles and cole. then the rest of the afternoon consisted of meetings. after my second to last meeting, i packed up and commuted home to wfh and wait for the 5:30 meeting i had. i waited 15 minutes for the train though so idk if it was worth it. as soon as i got home, i went back to work and then went straight into the meeting. after my meeting, i had the worst headache, my sinus was plugged, and my stomach hurt. i tried prepping for dinner but i stopped after putting away the dishes and took a nap. kevin woke me up when he got back from climbing and then i went back to sleep. then i woke up after he was done showering. i still felt like shat so i spent a good amount of time in bed while kevin made loco moco for dinner/lunch. i couldn’t eat because i kept spitting up mucus/stomach acid so i just showered. after my shower, i felt a lot better though. i went to bed and watched some youtube videos before going to sleep at like 11 pm or 12 am. kevin takes good care of me when i feel ill. i really wanted to exercise though...

feb28: i woke up a bit late and just took my time getting to work. i felt better-ish. i felt good enough to commute and work in the office. i got there at 9:30 am, which is not that late (i usually get to the office at 9:10 - 9:15 am). today was a packed day with meetings so i buckled down and did some work with ux360. hmm i’ve hit a wall on my project but i just need some time to think about solving this problem i’m having. it’ll work out -- i just gotta keep trying out things and keep doing rather than sitting and thinking. the rest of the day was packed with meetings and training. i got back home after falling over this elderly man. he had to switch spots with me and make the other people holding onto the pole move so i could hold on to it. i thanked him profusely. when i got home, i ate an apple hand pie and some chips. then i washed dishes and prepped for the one pot spring pasta recipe we were making for dinner/lunch today. :) it was surprisingly easy. i chopped us mushrooms, snapped asparagus, minced garlic, and then took the skin off the chicken thigh and cut it into pieces.

kevin came back later than expected because the barbershop was packed. he got us lemonade boba (they were out of green tea again) and they were alright. i disliked the blueberry one though. we finished cooking the pasta together (super easy) and then we microwaved leftovers and watched izombie while eating. we got to watch 3 episodes before he went to game and i exercised. i did a regular / ab toning workout today for 60 minutes. i did 30 minutes of hip hop cardio and 30 minutes of abs. i went to shower right after kevin and then i packed lunch for tomorrow and went to sleep later than usual at 1:15 am or something like that. we still haven’t had time to talk about our one week vacation in the spring/summer but we will get to it!

01: as i was crossing the street, my lunch box fell out of my bag? whut. did i not zip the bottom compartment this morning? LOL. someone scurried and helped me. i was very thankful. lol what’s wrong with me this week? it’s probably lack of sleep. anyway, i got to work and spent an hour or so doing personal errands online such as adding money to my charlie card, adjusting bank alerts, and shipping out goodies for two of my favorite people ;D so excited. then i got to work and then it was 12 pm... the rest of the day was just working. i left a bit early to catch an emptier train. when i got back home, i snacked again and then watched jane the virgin while washing the dishes and washing the rice. i finished watching and then decided to work out. kevin got back when i had about 8 minutes left and then he showered. after my workout, i cooked two over easy eggs perfectly ;D for our loco moco. then i took a real quick shower and ate dinner while watching izombie with kevin. kevin went to game and then i kind of dozed off while on my phone. i was really annoyed by the people upstairs. they were playing loud af music? stomping? dancing? and playing live music? i was so confused. you could feel the vibrations even in the hallway. i got real tired so i went to bed at around 11 pm, played some pokemon, and then went to sleep. i forget when.

02: i dressed like a bum today, but i was comfy. the office was so full. stephen was back and then matthew was here and yeah. it was nice. i did some work in the morning while chatting with charles and cole about macross LOL. then they had their tech thursdays with pizza. we were all teasing cole about picking up the pizza and forgetting the beverages. :P it was my first time experiencing it because they rolled the screen out. i had my lunch and watched a youtube video and then right after, experienced an interesting development in my work life. i think someone (also cole and kevin thinks) a now previous co-worker hit on me? not sure. i’m still confused but it was via linkedin and it was interesting. charles just gave me a shrug LOL. then we hopped on a call with all the new peeps to understand t7′s ux methodology and cole was panicking because he kind of forgot and didn’t have the go-to app downloaded and he was having technical difficulties. lol, cole. my work life is much fuller with him in it hahahahaha.

then i went back to work and got on the standup. oh, i messaged with jeanne and kevin a bit before and during lunch. i can’t wait to go to new yorkkkk. i was pretty antsy the rest of the day. i got cole to go to the kitchen area with me to get a free half a turkey sandwich. then we left a bit early to go to “au chocolat” and get some chocolate because cole went to get donuts in the morning without me :( there was so much to choose from but i got a turtle pattie (for kevin because he likes nutty chocolate) and a vegan, non-dairy, gluten free, etc version of peanut cups (pea not cups). then we split at the train station and i met up with kevin. the pea not cup tasted like sweet sunflower seeds and a bit like peanut butter? kinda not worth. we got home and then fell into a nap...until 8 or something. i woke up grumpy because i wanted to be productive this evening lol. we ate our minimal leftovers and then kevin made himself a quesadilla and then we watched izombie. then i exercised and kevin gamed. i think we went to sleep at our regular time...?

03: i thought it was going to be a chill wfh day but things changed and i had a lot of work to do. i didn’t get up early to exercise because i thought i could sneak in some of it in between video tutorials so i was a bit upset i didn’t because we were going to be on a bus for 5 hours T__T anyway, i worked my butt off taking minimal breaks and then kevin had a super chill day (literally) -- he went to work and had nothing to do and then came back and gamed. so i got pretty frustrated at him because here i am working and he’s kind of not helping pack and etc? yeah, he left to go to south station earlier than me to pick up food and to get away from my grouchy pants. i worked up until i had to leave. then i rushed to curl my hair, pack everything kevin didn’t get and my other stuff, wash the dishes, and leave. i got to the bus terminal probably 10 minutes before we left. at that point i lost track of time and i was just like ‘i’m gonna get there when i get there.’

we didn’t talk to each other for a bit and then we did. we’re going to spend 5 hours together on this train so it was pointless being mad. i ate my dinner right away and then we both napped. kevin napped for like 3 hours (wtf) and i woke up after 1 hr and 30 minutes... i listened to music, browsed the web, etc. then kevin got up, we listened to music together, he played pokemon, and we watched the newest episode of supernatural together (he got the stream at home and then we watched it on the bus). then we were delayed by like 40 minutes or something because of traffic but kevin said this happened to him last time. i guess don’t megabus after work on a friday. jeanne tried waiting for us which delayed her dinner time so i felt real bad T__T i’m sorry bb. it was also hella cold outside. when we got to our stop, we commuted to jeanne’s and had to walk through horrendous winds to get there. we were greeted by a slightly disgruntled jeanne but i was so happy to see her :)

we caught up a bit and i was amazed at her apartment because there is a fake wall separator for florence’s room that looks like a real wall. it’s so amazing. i met jisoo and florence toooo. we talked and then we retired after jisoo told us that she was trying to sleep haha. it was nice talking to friends in person again LOLLL. i’m so socially deprived, but i’m ok with it (sometimes i’m not). so then kevin and i stayed up a bit longer looking at rugs and bathroom mats on society6. then i charged everything and showered and brushed my teeth. i looked up a brunch place to eat tomorrow as well. we inhaled a ton of water. x__x my skin and my body was super dehydrated after the bus. maybe the bus brought it out because i was having trouble with my dry af skin these past couple of weeks. my face was so dry. anyway, i ko’d on the couch after i showered and i don’t remember kevin ever finishing his shower x___x i think it was 2 or 3 am.

04: i woke up at 10:30 am and it was dark...that’s because the living room is separated LOL. i saw peeks of sun coming through jeanne’s room so i knew it was actually 10 am. i tried waking up kevin but he was still sleepy so i just brushed my teeth and put on an aloe mask and then did some internet errands. then kevin got up and we tried getting brunch with jeanne but she was still commuting back home. so kevin and i walked to cafe henri in the blistering cold. my ears were throbbing by the time we got there, but the food was so good. we got a citron chaud (actually i just drank kevin’s) and i got a le poulet ratatouille sandwich and a honey crepe. kevin got their signature eggs benedict. so yummmm. we’ll definitely be back. after eating, we were warm and our bellies were full. we stopped by the chase nearby, stopped by a health store and i ended up buying tea for my stomach and pms, and then stopped by moma ps1. we were instantly drawn to the gift shop and then went inside to pee and look at all of the contemporary art. it was uhhh interesting -- i still do not like contemporary art. it was nice seeing artwork and walking around though.

we stopped by the gift shop again and got really into the cook books. there were so many and they were all so beautiful! we walked back to jeanne’s and chatted with her while she woke from her nap. then we got ready to head out to eat at momofuku! jisoo joined us and we took an uber. the wait was going to be about 1 hr and 30 minute and we had a party of 7 (jeanne’s friend with other friends). so we rq’d and found another ramen place called ‘minca.’ we had to separate because they didn’t have seating for 7 (almost nowhere in ny has seating for 7). anyway, it was delicious and we got the shrimp gyoza and i got the chicken ramen with veggies. kevin got the signature minca sio ramen. we all ate and then we chatted with john (jeanne’s friend), frederick, and jason (john’s friends). we all walked to kung fu tea and then got bubble tea and sat and chatted. everyone was so funny and nice (:

frederick went home when we all ubered back to jeanne’s. jenny, john (flo’s bf), and flo were waiting for us to play board games! we played a round of bang and i dominated ;D i won it for the outlaws hahaha. then jeanne and i went to the fitness center to do my 45 minute 500 calorie burner workout. we could only get halfway because they close the fitness center at 11 pm. -__-” i got jeanne to sweat though haha. we went back up and got everyone to do face masks. my skin is burning from the cold and also peeling T_T same with jeanne’s skin. then we played spot it and it was so much fun. i got kicked from my high pedestal after a while and got placed last. x__x then jeanne went to shower and we just sat and talked for a bit. the others played exploding kittens and then i just talked with jeanne and john. then i talked with jeanne for a bit before showering and then ko’d after talking with jeanne in bed. zzzzz. it was around 3 am when we ko’d.

05: i woke up before the alarm went off at 9:00 am. i woke kevin up, we packed up, and then we left. thanks for hosting us, flo, jeanne, and jisoo! it was a lot of fun even though it was a super short trip x( kevin and i hopped on the subway and then stopped by mcdonald’s to get breakfast and then stopped at subway to get lunch for the megabus. the megabus location was so cold because it wasn’t the terminal -- it was just a line outside. we hopped on the bus hoping to get the front seats but they were reserved. we still got pretty good seats near the stairs and the bus was pretty empty. kevin fell asleep right away, i fell asleep listening to edm LOL and then we both woke up and i watched youtube videos, read my new love unknown book and then listened to some more music. kevin played pokemon and i eventually ate half of my subway sandwich. i got a very healthy turkey breast with veggies on multigrain bread sub huhuhu. i dozed off a bit and then decided to put on a face mask. kevin checked our location and realized that we were gonna get to south station 40 minutes before our estimated time of arrival?! we apparently got on the 11 am boston bus instead of the 11:40 am LOL.

we took the train home and then kevin went to shower right away, i put on the latest episode of reign and unpacked. then we meal planned and i showered and then we went to get groceries. it was a super fast grocery trip because we’re eating out a lot this upcoming week. we came back and then made ketchup spaghetti and it is delicious! i ate the other half of my subway and then ate a bit of the spaghetti. my appetite is messed up again? i’m eating and snacking a lot for some reason. we also got a good amount of snacks: pepero, pineapple cake, baked asian cracker chips, and yeah...mmm. kevin went to meet up with priya and then i chilled for a bit before cleaning the kitchen and bathroom thoroughly. then i did my 45 minute 500 calorie blaster workout, showered, and finished laundry. oh, i started two loads of laundry and then folded everything and then put everything away and made the bed before ko’ing before 1 am in the bed. i was too tired to wait for kevin to get back lol. he did get back and i woke up because i had to pee and my legs were cold. then i ko’d again. :)

Nana’s famous egg dish

This egg casserole is perfect for any brunch or holiday celebrations. It freezes beautifully to make ahead, and tastes amazing with pico de gallo salsa. Check out the recipe + a video, and also the creme brûlée French toast in this post. 🙂

Hi friends! Hope you’re having an amazing day. I have a ton of moving stuff to check off the list today, so I hope you don’t mind this blast from the past post. It has some adventures from our Easter in San Diego, when P was in my belly and Liv was itty bitty, and two AMAZING recipes you could definitely add to your brunch rotation for the upcoming Easter or any holidays or brunches you have ahead. Nana’s famous egg dish also has a video now, so I hope you’ll check it out below! I’ll back back in blogging action tomorrow.

Easter 2015:

It was a great Easter this year. <3 I remember last year, when we had just moved here and had yet to meet anyone. We had a blast with friends (and were so thankful to them for taking us under their wings), but at the same time, we definitely missed our families. This year, it was so nice to have some Tucson visitors in the house, and our cousins who recently moved here. When we lived in Tucson and Valdosta, we had parties at the house allllll the time. It’s one of my goals for this year to get back into it and have friends over more often! It felt so good to break out some of the serving ware and have a full table again. 🙂

Madre and I had a cooking extravaganza, and made deviled eggs, Nana’s famous egg dish, creme brûlée French toast, fruit salad, rosemary potatoes, vegan banana pudding, a cheese board, and picked up a ham from Honeybaked Ham.

The spread:

(Recipes at the end of this post!)

I always love celebrating Easter, or any holiday with the fam, and holidays are 102938x more fun with a little one. Liv was so excited that the Easter bunny made a stop (though she was very concerned that a large rabbit would be coming into the house. We promised her that we would open the door for him and let him out after he’d left her little treats.).

We also had the necessary egg hunt in the backyard, sugar buzz for days, and awesome time spent together.

After brunch, we chilled for naptime and I took Bella on a long Easter walk to the dog beach. (Caro was snoring peacefully haha.) We explored Coronado, made a stop to shop in Old Town, and watched movies here at home. PS HAVE YOU SEEN INTERSTELLAR? It was so, so good, but in pure Christopher Nolan fashion, I am confused about a few things. Randomly throughout the day, I’ve texted the Pilot questions about the plot line haha.

Time to get ready for spin and then we’ll be watch the National Championship (though I am cheering for no one). 😉

Have a lovely night!

The Best Egg Casserole for Easter Brunch

Nana’s beloved egg dish recipe is HEEEEEERE. It’s been one of my favorite holiday and brunch dishes for as long as I remember, and it was always one of those, “Don’t question what’s in it, just eat it and love it” type things. I must say that if you are looking for a healthified or dairy-free/gluten-free version of this recipe, check out this one I made recently. Otherwise, make it exactly as described below, serve with fresh pico de gallo salsa, and you will never go back.
