Touching Base

Not expecting it and being blown over…

Can you believe the wind?  Neither could Peanut.  When I arrived home last night, she just had to go outside for whatever reason.  At first, I couldn’t understand why and then I heard the whirring/whistling sound coming through the front door.  So, she was just curious.  Then, I carried her outside for her to understand that the wind is blowing and that it is raining.  She becomes really adament about being put down.  So, I set her on the concrete, she takes one step out from the porch and gets blown over by the wind.  It was hysterical, she had this look on her face like “What the hell was that?”.  I laughed so hard and I think she knew I was laughing at her so she ran up the tree, back down and was meowing so loud to get back into the house.  So FUNNY!  A lot of excitement for one night.

Does the rain make you lazy?

Yesterday I was very unproductive.  Besides going shopping, taking care of errands… I didn’t really do much as far as chores go around the house.  The rain makes me feel drab.  Does this happen to you? 

The latest on Ms. Simpson

Well, I heard on the radio station this morning that she is doing a new movie and she only has to say 812 words.  She is getting paid 1 million dollars for this upcoming movie.  So, that means she is getting paid a little over $1200 per word.  Can you believe this?  A lot of people have mixed opinions.  I on the other hand don’t care if she opens her mouth or not.  She is just a filler.  To men, they prefer if she doesn’t talk and just shows more skin, right. hee hee

Do you ever miss…….SCHOOL?

While attending classes at CSUS, I absolutely despised the work but I loved the social aspect of school.  I really miss school, seeing all my friends on a regular basis (everyday), going to social events…  I guess it really boils down to just being…blah.  Ya know?  Just being lazy sometimes, sleeping in, going to bed late, not following a regimen.  Now, I have duties to fill, tasks to complete and sometimes I am sick of it.  Not with my life or work but just the tedious everyday crap.  Getting up early, weaving through traffic, stupid people with no light on, traffic on the way home and stupid drivers on their cell phones.  I love my job, my co-workers, even the vendors but all that stupid shit in between really grinds on my quality of life.  So, in the end I tend to think about how much I miss school and all the things that surrounded my 3 years at CSUS. 

2 inches of ice…

The weather dropped down to 24 degrees last night in Livermore- ass cold!!.  I was considering going for a walk with Jason but even at that point it was 42 degrees at 7 pm- hell NO.  YIKES!!!  Looked out the window this morning and there was a layer of ice on the grass.  So, I hurried to get ready so I can defrost the car for 10 minutes.  It literally took that long to get the wiper blades unstuck from the window.  2 inches of ice was all over my windshield- it was NOT heavy frost- I could see crystals.  It seemed like I was in the high country.  This is extreme weather for Livermore. 

Over the weekend, while Jason and I were heading to San Jose for a family get together.  We noticed that driving through Highway 84, all the hill peaks near the South Bay were not only dusted but covered in snow.  That shows how freezing it has been the last week.

 

 

People are just too judgemental!!

My friend Juli mentioned that my profile for myspace had some errors- such as it stated that I am single & I am married and that I like to socially drink but that I clicked that I am not a drinker.  Well, I am not a drinker.  I don’t need to have a swig of alcohol to relax, take a swig to get the nerve to go out on the town, or to take the edge off.  When I am out with my friends, I will partake in some cocktails.  My reasoning for being on myspace is to “make more friends”- networking.  If someone were to query “looking for friends” and they found me and then viewed my profile and it stated that I was a smoker or drinker, they might not want to take a chance with that or I might draw in the wrong “kind” of friends.  Why screw myself or others of opportunities?  I also don’t like it when people just assume, it annoys the hell out of me.  What do you think?  People are scared off by what they see and read.  Why would I want to steer away opportunities of having “good friends” because I had some conflicting info on my myspace profile?  Does this make sense?  I should only care what is written and I know the true reason for my actions.  I don’t need additional drama or questions.

So, YES, the media can be so damn judgemental.  Lindsey Lohan & Brittney Spears for example;  Yes, they like to party and they like to socially drink.  There have even been times that they are so far off the deep end- being completely smashed.  They had a jolly good time reaching that point.  So, why does the media assume they are alcoholics.  I just don’t give a flying F#$% what they do with their spare time and some of us don’t even give a SH#%!!!  Do you?  It’s their time and money, let them spend it how they choose.

 

Interesting on-going events since my last post :)

Hello and I am back with my new layout from WordPress thanks to Jennifer

Since returning from Tampa I have been extremely behind with work.  2/6- present time

 2/11 & 2/12- while my husband was away skiing in Truckee at Northstar, I relaxed at home and caught up on some quaility alone time “single behavior”.  Even though I am not single, but you know what I mean.  (Sex and the City reference). 

 2/13-2/15- catching up with work stuff, slowly I can start to see my desk again.  I will also explain the extra special dinner that my husband prepared for me last night.

After going to the grocery store to pick up some bread, asparagus and beer (great combo- huh), I walked into the house to see a lovely little table set up with a white table cloth, our fine china with silverware (the real stuff), our black place mats, napkins with our napkin rings, red candles and my favorite flowers (a bouquet of red tulips- tulips in general).  Jason proceeded to prepare caramelized roasted garlic and oven roasted asparagus, he sliced the bread, melted some garlic butter and drizzled it inside the Alaskian King Crab legs that he BBq’ed.  Something about the flavor of BBQ’ed crab legs, very seductive.  Then he also prepared veggie sushi rolls with cream cheese, cucumber and carrots.  I LOVED my Valentine’s Day dinner and my evening.  We were so full.  Reminder that dessert even chocolately dessert is not required for a dinner so succulent.  YUM
