That dreadful weather is back...

That dreadful weather is back. Gloomy mornings accompanied by a cold breeze. It sucks. I hate mornings like that, they make me stay in bed longer than I should, therefore making me late to work… But that means nothing today…. Since we have a 4 (YES F-O-U-R) day weekend… LOVE IT!

Well nothing too exciting for my days off… so we’ll see. I’m going to a beach concert tonight… nothing fancy… just low key bands. Tomorrow I might go out to a new club, Saturday is my aunts farewell BBQ (she is going back to Guatemala on Tuesday), Sunday Amy is having a BBQ, and Monday… I want to take some Salsa lessons. Phew… ok maybe I do have a bit of stuff planned out.

Well – I know it’s barely 8:30am, but I already have a positive note for the day…. –I will probably be off by 2pm. I LOVE IT -LOVE IT -LOVE IT

Have a great holiday weekend everyone!

Busy Weekend... perhaps.

What a weekend. I went to a funeral on Saturday morning. It was sad. Bobbi, who lost her brother last year in October in a freak hunting accident, lost her dad last week to cancer. Her dad had been fighting cancer for a couple years now, so they were expecting it, but it still didn’t make it any easier. Well Bobbi, and her family are doing ok. They are getting through it.

I went on a date Saturday night. That was interesting. Nice guy, 35 years old… really, really shy. I would have to say, almost TOO shy. It was sweet though, total gentleman, opened the car door, pulled my chair out… nice stuff, guys my age don’t do… or probably don’t even know about. Regardless it was nice.

Sunday was good too, went to lunch with Amy and Ivonne… chatted and got caught up on the usual things… I hand another date later that night. This one was way better. He is 27 and a total gentleman. Tall (6’3, so I wore heels, woo hoo- for me) and super buff. We had a good dinner, and laughed a lot. It seems we have a lot in common… we party in some of the same places, have a lot of friends and a couple of best friends. All in all I had a great time and hopefully he’ll call.

Um… now it’s back to work. It’s a short week… so I am ecstatic. We are off Friday, AND Monday… ugh… I can’t wait. I have a couple BBQ’s this weekend… and maybe even a visit to Hermosa for a little bit of dancing. We’ll see if we make it.

Effects of some people

I hate the effect some people have on me. It’s not a bad effect. It’s just not an effect I want.

I saw Eric at work today. –Recap on Eric… he is a model maker that works in a different depart than I. I’ve worked with him once, and occasionally pass him through the halls. We exchange smiles, and sporadically say hi. - Anyway… everyone I know, regardless of how long I’ve known them, if I see them or pass them, I will smile and greet them. For what ever reason… that only God know, when I pass him, the only thing I do is smile. And instantly I feel as if I am turning red. What the hell? Seriously. I know I am not in High School or Grade School for that to be happening. Well today as I was nearing a “T” intersection in one of the halls at work, Eric, along with a co-worker (I know) rounded the corner and start heading towards me. All that came out of my mouth was a greeting for the co-worker. I totally ignored him. I felt so bad, but of course I couldn’t go back and do anything about it. L Oh well. I’ll make an effort to change it for the next time. I’ll cross my fingers. LOL

All week, I keep thinking about how much I want to go back and be a kid again. Maybe 12 or 13 years old. I just think it sucks that as you get older, your body gets slower, you spend more time at work, and you can’t hang out with your friends during the day.

Ok… enough with the bitching… Brightside for today… mmm…… hm…. Ok, I don’t have one yet. But the day is not over, so when I get one, I will post it.

Bright side: I got out of school early again.... and went straight to bed! ;)

I am in a lazy mood

I had a lazy weekend.

I went to dinner Friday, night… it was good.

I went to the Beauty Bar in Hollywood on Saturday, got two Henna Tattoos and two drinks.

I spent all day Sunday watching Charlie and The Chocolate Factory in between doing laundry, grocery shopping, and working on Ivonne’s resume.

I am exhausted today. I went to sleep at 1:00am last night – this morning because I wanted to watch the end of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. Again~ I love that movie. Jonny Depp does a magnificent job.

I hope my energy increases as the day goes on.

I am in a lazy mood.

I want my bed!

Why I haven't moved out...

I know it’s only Thursday… but man am I ready for the weekend. I have nothing planned (yet). I just want to sleep in so bad. This week has turned out to be a lot better than the last. Last week, with at least one project a day, (for what ever reason) I would fuck it up. Whether it be wrong colors, wrong measurements, incorrect sculpt, somehow I would manage to screw it up and have to start over. This week, is way different. I’ve done what I needed to do, and then some, so let’s hope it stays like this.

So here is my funny story for the week.
Last weekend we (my brother, sister, and I) decided to clean the garage and start chucking things we didn’t need. So we started by taking everything out from the garage and onto the drive way, where we would go through it and decide what we would keep and what we would chuck.

So my brother has a couple of dirt bikes, a street bike, a gas scooter and some other motorized toys, well he pulled them all out and my nephew started playing with the motorized scooter. So (for whatever reason) he feelt the need to turn it on, so he keeps it idle, but gives it gas so that it starts smoking up. Well my sister and I don’t mind him and just continue to clean and purge. Well, all of a sudden he starts coughing really loud, so loud, it seems as if he is gasping for air. I figured he just inhaled too much of whatever fumes the gas scooter releases and he is trying to clear it form his throat. Now, my brother (his father) is standing next to him and “dealing” with him, so again, I didn’t mind them, as I figured my brother had the situation under control.

Well after about 2 minutes of him continuing to do this, I walk over to them and ask what hell happened. So my brother smirking, and giggling (with a little black bottle in his hand) says… I found this in the pile of junk and wanted to see if it worked (As he is telling me this he hands me the little black bottle… which turns out to be a small pepper spray can that was given to my sister about 10 years ago when she worked as an on-call social work for the LA Police Department)… well it turns out he sprayed it in the air… and the air blew it back toward the direction of where my nephew was, which lead my nephew to inhale it and start gasping for air.

It took him a good 15 minutes to get through it. Afterwards I asked him what it felt like and all he said was “It felt as if someone was scratching my throat as it was tightening “.

So... you see... reason I haven't moved out... I think subconsciously, I like the entertainment.

Friends Code of Conduct…

Is there such a thing? I mean how do we know if ones code of conduct towards ones friends will be reciprocated? And if it’s not… what is their code of conduct towards us?

Last week, I turned on the radio and heard my favorite morning group asking the general public if “a friend’s ex would be off limits”. The majority of male callers said no and the majority of women callers said yes. Now being that I am a woman, I can only speak from this point of view. You see we (woman) are emotional creatures. We make every (and all) effort to “bond” to someone/something, in every experience we have. We want to be “the only one”, “the perfect girl”, “the love of his life”…. So when that doesn’t happen… we move on. Now you can imagine, if a close friend starts dating the one you are trying to get over… the “moving on” doesn’t quite come that easily. Everything you try to forget… just resides. Every thing you try to let go… stays, and every image you want to get fuzzy… becomes translucent- (definitely not a good thing, when you are trying to move on).

So basically, Yes! Any ex of any friend, acquaintance, relative, or neighbor… is completely off limits to me. Maybe it’s a little over board… but personally-I hate drama.

Just my opinion though!

Better days have followed...

Better days have followed since. Thank God!

Tuesday was a beautiful day... the sun was shining so it made it so much easier to get up and out of bed. :)

Well school was good last night, I got an A on the midterm... and he (the professor) continues to dismiss us early.

Well it's Thursday, and I am sooo ready for the weekend... I just want to sleep! :)

Well I'm off to work...

Have a great day everyone!

Fucken Headache!

That stupid training fucked me up. I've had a headache since I left the training on Tuesday and it wont go away. The worst part is that it comes with nausea. I can't be on the computer for too long or, watch TV for more than a half hour, without my eyes feeling tired, my head hurting, and the nausea start up. I hate feeling shitty. This is not me!

So it was a pretty lame weekend. I felt tired and shitty so I didn’t do much. I spent most of Sunday in bed curled up in my bed watching movies in the dark… kinda nice, but I would have much better preferred being outside enjoying the nice whether.

Any who, today at work was interesting, some how, my friend/mentor, Heide and I started talking about how she wants to baptize her youngest, Hannah. Apparently if a child doesn’t get baptize and something happens to them, the don’t go straight to heaven… they go to a place (I think) called Limbo… Now I’ve known Hannah since she was in Heide’s belly, probably even a gleam in her eye… So, I asked Heide who she would pick as Hannah’s Godmother… and she said she would pick me. So of course, I am completely honored (now mind you, chances of this “baptism” happening are pretty slim at the moment)… so then I asked her if she had a will and life insurance… and who she would leave the girls (God forbid) anything happen to her and Rick… and she said one of her sisters (who has two girls of her own)… then she looks at me and says… would you take them… if we left them to you… and I said, of course (mind you, I’m the one who wants four kids).. so we are discussing this mad mess about wills, death, and her girls. When it hits me…. Can you be a Godmother to a child, if you are not Catholic? So that’s where we both got stomped. Me being (somewhat) Christian, doesn’t know, and Heide being a non practicing Catholic… had even less of an idea. Well regardless… I’m honored that she would chose me to raise the girls.

Well that’s it for today… I feel my nausea coming… so I will end with this…

Positive note for the day:
It’s 10:30 and I am going to bed!

Trainings Trainings and then some fun...

Trainings... Trainings... ugh.
I was in a Photoshop training all day yesterday and today. Now I love to learn new things, especially new software, but man, the first day (Tuesday) was such a drag. The instructor has this Scottish accent, so he kinda lengthens his words... and he would take 15 minutes just to explain how to open a document. Today however, was way better... maybe it's because he talked about stuff I didn't know about... AND I am sure it was because I (smartened up) and brought my Econ book to study during "down time". Regardless... I'm glad it's over and I am glad I got something out of it.


Let's see what else. Oh, Mark came over to my cube on Monday and was telling me about these questions he got from Vogue and what they said about you... so here is how they went, and what I answered;
1. What is your favorite animal and two reasons why?
My Answer: Dog 1-Because they are loyal 2-Because they are cute
Apparently this how I feel my friends view me, as loyal and cute.
2. What is your favorite body of water?
My Answer: Lake 1-because it's calm 2-because I have full control in it
Apparently this is how I am in bed. Calm and in control.


Too funny, of course I kept asking those questions to other people I knew.... just to see how they answered. One of my friends answered Cheetah to Q 1, her reasons... because they run fast and "look" like they are smart... HA!
Ahhh... what can I say, but that I truly enjoy my work and coworkers!
