Lovely food that isn't of our normal selection! Always great to try new delecacies!

After watching apple made Coda, I agree with the movie's praise with the amazing performances and wonderful representation of the actors in the deaf community!
FULL on ENDORSEMENT!!!!
Jacob Moran sang an astounding rendition of Katy Perry's Rise in front of Katy, Lionel & Luke in the most recent episode of American Idol & received a standing ovation from Katy (as well as a golden ticket)...wow!
Update from watching Mar 22 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, I learned that this movie is a great showcase to people in the deaf community! What a great collaboration.
One sidenote is that I hadn't realized the difference between watching the film with captions as opposed to seeing and hearing the sign interpretor's (coda's) on Drew's show is breathtaking!

Excellent way to start the weekend... :)
Sunday evening update:
Enjoyed a wonderful sushi buffet lunch with mom
while dad spent the day working on a work deployment
Also caught 'The Adam Project' starring such recognizable names (not going to lie, it's the names that caught my attention...) of Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner and Zoe Saldana; as well as Walker Scobell and Catherine Keener.
An intruiging storyline following a pilot who's able to time travel (to more then one time frame) which happens to weirdly give him the ability to encounter his younger self and change the course of history in order to destroy the ability to time travel and set future 'right'.
Definitely worth watching on Netflix!

International Women’s Day
In addition for a bit of unexpected excitment today...
After being picked up from work, driving along the street heading towards other appointments a car honked a warning and made hand signals that apparently we had a flat tire.
Interesting considering no car light signal projected anything.
Ended up driving a bit more, stopping by a plaza & calling CAA.
We've since had an Asian (as luck would have it, lol!) handyman stop by, fill the tire and now we're on our way to dinner at the Monte Carlo hotel before heading home.
First time for everything, I suppose.

Had a fabulous Swiss Chalet lunch
with my S/Stops Team!
Afterwards, the entire team took part in a gift exchange that Sharon helped
to bring to success!
My gift was for one of our
managers, Maria.
It was a nice box of patisseries from Duo Patisserie & Cafe.
Feedback was positive, score!
My gift came from Wilbert, a cup with a 'Cool to be kind' statement
and chocolates!
LOVED the bag it came in!

Respect?
The day started out well with a present of a tin of chocolates from the manager who's in this week...
HOWEVER, an event occurred that really surprised me...where our (the team's) SME (Smart Matter Expert) had asked everyone to not bring lunch for the day as she was going to bring in lunch. We ALL were excited for this treat...EXCEPT that come 1pm one of the team finally messaged her and FOUND OUT that she decided to make the 'executive decision' to move this forsaid lunch to FRIDAY. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? 
Even though the food arrived late and the team's present (the photo shows her present in purple but the card is for the Manager who's in this week) for her was delivered, personally my level of respect for her has plummeted.
And that is all.
We were NOT IMPRESSED...and after giving her our unimpressed feedback, she realized her tactical error and lunch was delivered (Much too late that one of the team had left already and we didn't actually eat (pizza, wings and brownies) until 1:30pm - which isn't so bad for me as I normally nosh around this time).
