Sundays and Tidbits

2012-01-29T13:20:00.000-08:00

They'd be my favorite day if it wasn't preceding a work day. I just cleaned the shit out of my house and car. Did laundry, packed my bike, scrubbed the bathroom and kitchen and now i'm going to tackle a little of the back yard. And i do it all sober now. Change is good. i did my taxes last week too and for the first time as a homeowner (WTF?) i'm getting a significant amount of money back.

Love my republican friends...

2012-01-27T06:50:00.000-08:00

...and since i'm part republican (only in beliefs; not votes) I can see a little truth in the silliness.

Offsite Day!

2012-01-26T06:55:00.000-08:00

What does that mean, you ask? It means a morning of doing all I want at a pace a turtle would love. Full pot of coffee, a run, Yoga, Kody's park walk, shower AND time to do my hair and then a pretty stress-free drive in...AND it's Thursday?? Life barely gets better than this. I have the most awesomest therapist that i've pretty much ever had. and i've had a barrel full. She's about my age,

That was totally fun. It felt good to get out and do something productive. To myself, I mean. After class, Drew and I went off on our own and found some great walls. And when i say 'great' I mean all grabby rock things have big-ass hooks in them so you can climb the wall like spider man. The last wall we climbed was like a wall full of nipples. damn near impossible. This is Shara

Driving

2012-01-20T09:39:00.000-08:00

I’m a very conscientious driver. I always thank people who let me in and I stay very aware of my surroundings. Now don’t confuse that with GOOD driver…I am not a good driver. And although I’ve never been in an accident, I’ve caused a few. One of my pet peeves is people who are oblivious to their surroundings and assume everyone around them is a mind reader. Blinkers. They are in your car for a

I'm going rock climbing tonight with Nick and Drew. I've rock climbed before many years ago and i really, really love it. I think if other things didn't get in the way, I certainly would have been an avid rock climber. Course I would have been a stripper too if i had a great body. When i think of rock climbing, I always think of this video. i've seen it 8,000 times and i STILL laugh

got my hair done yesterday and courtney asked me "so what's new in your life?" I thought for a good 30 / 45 seconds and said "Absolutely nothing". I immediately texted Kelly to plan our Texas trip. we leave on the 10th of february and i'm gonna kiss me some cowboys.

I've been neglecting my dog for too long so Saturday was his day. Well...he got two hours...don't want to overdo it. I went to Starbucks (me first) and then drove over to the dog park off Ramona. We walked around that (not in it because Kody is a prick) and walked around the skateboard park. I was looking for a path that takes you back in to the land of the lost, which is this weird

Lotto scuffle

2012-01-05T06:48:00.000-08:00

(Background: The $5 scratcher has two puzzles in one ticket. If you scratch off one word in one puzzle and another word in the other, you don't win a free ticket as if you scratched off two words in one game. But Janet won $70 and said it was becuase the Lottery combines the words from both puzzles. My point was how can it not be two games combined to begin with!?) ...THIS is why I don't

2012-01-04T09:36:00.000-08:00

But that's okay because i'm doing good regardless...ththpbthbpth... My goal in 2012 is to get out more. Although the hermitting was something I probably needed to do at the time, it's outlived its purpose and although it will be hard for me to go out, I am encouraging myself to do so...So, first outing? Kelly's. I called Kelly and asked if I could come over for dinner. She wnated to know what

So far...2012 is the best!

2012-01-02T12:55:00.000-08:00

Ha ha...see? trying to remain positive. My goals for January (and only one month at a time since doing it forever disheartens me) is no drinking, no calling in sick, riding my bike every work day, walking kody 5x's a week, yoga & mediation daily, weights twice a week, two meetups this month and only 2 hours or less of TV a day. Wow. that sounds really great. And i'm FULLY committed. It's the

good riddance 2011

2011-12-31T09:40:00.000-08:00

Let’s give a synopsis of 2011, shall we? I gained a shit load of weight. Then I lost it. Then I gained it again, lost it, gained it, lost it, gained it, really lost it and back to gaining. Then I quit drinking. And started again. And quit, and started and quit and started and quit and started and quit and started and quit and started and quit and started and quit and started and quit.

When i was younger and much hotter, i would get approached or asked out by any kind of man. Tall, short, ugly, fat, old, etc...and i used to ask myself "damn...am i just not as pretty as i think i am?" Now that i'm older and, in my eyes MUCH more unattractive, when i get approached by good looking men (IMO) I have to ask myself..."damn...am i prettier than i think i am?" So i'm selling my hot

2011-12-25T12:29:00.000-08:00

I was watching Animal Cops the other day. this was a case of a mother and her 15 year old son who let this dog starve to death. The officers tried to save the dog; but, it was too late. he passed in the night. during the trial, even the prosecuter, who does nothing BUT prosecute cases of animal neglect and abuse, had to stop to regain composure... the owner was a 15 year old boy so it was the

YES!.....there were about 70 people (!!!) at Shayna's baby shower so you had people milling about all over the house, out in the garage and the smokers in the driveway. Only about 15 people were paying attention to Shay when she was opening her gifts which i was kinda glad since my gift was next...When she opened up the box, she looked confused. She pulled out the baby whiskey bottle, saw the

We had our christmas party today and this gentleman played his flute for us. This video is the one of his tiny 1" flute (so many jokes) that kinda sounds like a bird...i almost pee'd my pants it was pretty funny. AND it hurt my ears but he was so sweet & brave. Our hats off to him...(sorry...you have to tilt your head)

I'm bored...

2011-12-15T10:43:00.001-08:00

I just realized I’ve got nothing going on in my life right now. I’ve got no man to focus on, no drama, a regular day-to-day job, my bills are paid, Kody is healthy…Time to drum up something good. Vacation? Elephant Sanctuary? Best Friends Animal Sanctuary? My Vet Tech school? Quit my job? The choices are endless….and I’ve got to pick something cuz momma needs a new story line.

White Elephant exchange

2011-12-14T15:17:00.000-08:00

I wrapped up my Christmas Story movie for our White Elephant gift exchange. I drew #11. #10 took Nick's gift so he ended up picking my movie. And since I was #11, I took back my DVD. HA! My new droid sucks sucks SUCKS! I want my iPhone back. However, AT&T just credited my bill $147...can you believe that??? But since i've had my droid (oct. 20) i have never connected to the 4G network.

2011-12-14T08:50:00.000-08:00

Janice got in to town Sunday night and I had to whisk her to Julies for my brothers birthday dinner. She was a good sport even though she had been up for 20 hours. And, of course, everyone loved her. You can't help BUT love Janice. She's one of those genuine, honest, good-hearted people and I adore her. My new thing is no drinking during the week but what the hell am i supposed to do

Unfortunately, it's sunday night thru wednesday so not exactly the best timing but i'm sure we'll make it work. : ) Love you girl! Took Kody to the vet for a few small reasons and the vet said again (a different vet too) that he was in the most amazing shape for a large 12 year

Janet and I went to Magpies for a late lunch yesterday. GOD my hair came out good! There was this darling pregnant girl there who told us this was her 2nd child. her daughter was 13 and she was premature so the birth wasn't too bad. This one was proving to be a rather large boy so i suggested that she start smoking now to encourage another premature birth and she'd be safe.As those words came out

I grabbed one of those packaged ones but when i went to pay for it, said "BEEF" and cheese so I put it back.The blind guy behind the register said they'd make one for me so I ordered one. She looked at me like I was crazy. "Just bean & cheese? no rice? no

You’re nice” He acknowledged my lesson and we moved on. Monday he texted me like a madman but I wasn’t in the mood to respond. Yesterday, however, I felt bad because he seemed sad and he

2011-11-23T17:30:00.001-08:00

Ah, the holidays. They certainly are a potential setup for being tragically sad. I'm just trying to make mine tragically mind-numbing and average. The only good thing about holidays is our work schedule is light. It's just me and Jeannie this year. her sisters are working and her son is at his dads. Last years thanksgiving was awesome and we had no plans...well we HAD plans but they didnt'

I could make a whole new blog about that. We have a security guard here who's probably in her late 60's and she's is very very quirky. But every day I lock up my bike or when i unlock my bike to leave she comes out and chats with me like we're old buddies. Last week, she came out and was playing with her phone and here's how her story goes: "I kept getting these phone calls from a number I

My phone has never rang that much in it's little life. And neither did my trusty old iphone from days gone past...I finally had to ask him "my GOD! why are you calling me so much!?" He was a little hurt

I watched a movie yesterday called Trust about an online paedophile predator that lured a 14 year old to a motel for one "meeting". Tragicly sad movie except the one line from the very distraught father to the mother..."For Christ's sake Lynn! He's 20 years older than her!" hahaha...now, of course, 20 years is huge to a 14 year old but still...made me chuckle... Yesterday was not my most

Dustin left this morning for Santa Rosa and we said our goodbyes. That was fun and I super-ass thanked him for filling my time, changing my course and making me feel good. It was nice to have a man around again and even better was I wasn’t attached to him but I did really enjoy his company. I doubt I'll see him again becuase he's too young and he's too far away. I'm not in to long-distance

well I went out with him anyway. And it was really pretty awesome. he's a big guy and i LOVE that. He was extremely complimentary, sweet, funny, passionate, accommodating and made me feel good. IRONICALLY, he's actually going thru the same thing i am but in the other shoes. His ex who wants him, doesn't want him, wants him, doesn't want him knew we were going out to lunch yesterday so he got

...and I can thank my Trader Joe's vodka for that. Janet was supposed to come over tonight to talk about Hawaii and I was kinda hoping she was because when i'm drinking, i'm vulnerable and I probably would have said "hell yes!!!" to the trip. But she didn't and so now I waffle. Surprisingly, I'm not "hell no!" either; but, my biggest concern (and guilt) is leaving Kody. I know, in my heart,

I'm so weird...

you can tell i'm bored. so after much thought, I've decided NOT to be Samanta Jones. I just can't do it...it's not really my style; never has been and i don't think I should start now. Although, it felt good to consider a 36 year old, this guy is actually the desired (mentally, i mean) 20 years younger.

Janet's little shindig went off well....she had a stack of free drink coupons which i benefited from since she's not the biggest drinker ever. although i must say, she did pretty well. hahah...she drinks more when she's the star AND when she's having fun. We played darts & shuffleboard and eventually ate pizza and was home by midnight. Heeeey! look at me! i thougth i'd be in bed by 7!

For a brief moment, on my way home today I think I saw my future. This fat old lady with long stringy gray hair, no teeth and faded pajamas was standing in her doorway screaming “Po Po!” I didn’t pay any mind at first; I live downtown – I’m used to crazy people. “Po Po!!” What the hell? Is that for me? Her imaginary friend? The bush? Then I saw Po Po. A little black Chihuahua with a

You know what's harder than riding your bike in the hurricane we had yesterday? running in it. And you know what's worse than both of those put together? your two running partners that stayed 1/8th of the park distance ahead of you on their VERY FIRST RUN! fuckers. this was MY run. That wind was brutal though. i came home with half a tree in my eye. Last night on my way home, i was

I had to take my co-worker to Chipotles yesterday since i lost the world series bet. He was just so cocky and slightly dickish about Texas losing; but, he meant no harm...he just insisted tehre was no way Texas would win. I mentioned that tomorrow (today) is my running day at work and now he wants to go! I'm not super fond of running with people becuase i have my own pace and it's basically

2011-10-31T07:25:00.001-07:00

And I mark this day as the first day of the rest of my life. Becuase if I can't turn my life around now, all bets are off. While listening to my ipod on the bike trail yesterday, a track from The Secret came on. I was going to forward it but since i was unusually, and as usual, depressed, I thought it might be something i needed to hear. And it was. your thoughts become reality. You are

I would so cry if i didn't end up smirking shockingly. ONE day of eating regularly (well...minus the fries and sleeve of oreos chased with full-fat milk) and i gained seven pounds. SEVEN POUNDS! WTF!?! I know they say it's not good to lose more than 2 pounds per week but they don't say much about gaining 7 pounds overnight! anyway, i know it's just massive water weight and cookies so i'm not

done

2011-10-28T16:07:00.000-07:00

i can't do the no eating thing anymore. so i guess i have to start super working out. poop. i changed out my own home thermometer. I'm pretty proud of myself! Although I did put a special note in the window for the fire dept to save my dog first. Game 7 tonight...i'm so rooting for Texas only becuase they're the underdog. I always love the underdog.

This fish, though i love him, is a pain in the ass. he has, what i think, is dropsy which is a fatal disease but i'm trying really hard to save him. i had to take him out of his mansion and put him back in the 1 gallon tank and make that his hospital tank. yesterday i came home to half the tank full of water. The other half was on the floor. The damn thing has a leak. so this morning, i
