Sick

I was sick all week and it was not fun (sinus infection), Monday Tuesday Wednesday off - work Thursday and Friday vacation day. It's like a staycation haha.

Wednesday night I went to the Irvine Improv that was fun, we saw K T Tatara. Sold out show. Hilarious.

Friday we saw Hot Tub Time Machine, I laughed throughout.

Saturday I went to Joshua Tree with Shannel to see her grandparents. Great time as always, then Sunday came home got my new Scentsy stuff. My new warmer "Taro" is very cute. Then I hung out with JoBeth Amanda and Lindsay. Talked about wedding stuff. Sigh. Growing up.

Let's see how this week back to work goes.

Late night

This week has been ... weird. No day felt like the day it was. This week coming up won't either because I'm taking Friday off :D. I am exhausted, I don't know how I used to be all over the place in one night. Last night alone, we went to four different "parties".

Started by stopping off at Travis' mom and dad's. They got a new Jagermiester machine, it holds three bottles and chills it to about 0 degrees. It only took six adults to finish that, it was all gone by 8pm when we showed up.

Next was The Bar in cypress for Richard's going away party. He's moving to Missouri, sad face.

Then off to Shannel's house to say hello and goodbye to her brother. :)

Last stop of the night was Danielle's house in Irvine. Ryan wanted to have a "party", it wasn't much of a party. Ryan Danielle Corey Megan Shane Justin Amy me and Travis. Lol. Wooooo. :) Travis and Ryan got sauced, Amy stayed over I played DD. I finally coaxed them to leave the party at like 2:45am. Drove through some pretty bad fog, could barely see 20 feet of the car. Got home, made Amy a bed, made sure Travis had somewhere to puke if he needed it, got him some water, got myself ready for bed - then spent the next 30 minutes listening to him hiccup and Jolie meow.

It was around 4am by this point and I was just at the point where I was too tired to be able to fall asleep. It sucked big time. I woke up off and on since 8am and finally got out of bed at like 10:30. My Aunt Val Uncle Chris and cousin Rachel came over for a bit today and brought us a ton of strawberries- yummy!

Trav got a new car yesterday; 2010 Honda Civic LX, basically my car but 7 years newer haha and dark gray instead of silver. He is really happy and relieved he was able to shed the hybrid. Really worried about the batteries going and being stuck with a 6 thousand dollar cost in order to fix that problem.

Alyse and Andrew came over Friday night, it was really enjoyable. I sent her home with a lot of my sample Scentsy smells. I really am going to do nothing with it so why not share.

I am looking forward to getting in bed early tonight. What an old lady. :)

Mondays are my new Sunday

This past week has been pretty quiet. It's been a nice change to have a slow steady week and then you can have fun on the weekend. :D Krista came over on Monday, that was nice to catch up with events in her life. I love her.

I got some workout DVDs ... I have to work extra hard this week for slacking on the weekend - I know I know ... already. My shoulder is killing me though (might be from the Wii, it's dangerous. They do need to come up with a Wii-R) My plan is to be sexy by definitely June.

I'm not concerning myself with weight, but rather with how I feel and look in my clothing. I think that tends to be more of an accurate scale of body image. Weight is just numbers.

Saw Alice in Wonderland on Friday night, it was good, not great but good. I would recommend it to anyone that asked it's not a waste of time; and the dance that Mad Hatter does at the end of the movie is hilarious. I loved the colors and the costumes, I think they did a good job on the visuals but that comes at no surprise.

Saturday Amy came down and we hung out, she and Travis played pool at the pool hall right down the street from our place, it was fun. It didn't have the best reviews on yelp about the wait staff but I found them to be very attentive but not too much where you would find them annoying. Just the right balance.

Sunday I met up with Alyse Tara and Shannel and we got to sample Scentsy's new scents and I wasn't disappointed. They were delicious. You know if they were smart they would venture out of just selling wick less candles and maybe market lotions or bath salts. I can see that being very profitable for them.

Oh my cousin Gerry just text me saying his wife Betsy (she learned she had "NHL" Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma right around Christmas this past year) has one spot left on her chest and 3 chemo sessions left. The doctor says he can't use the word "remission" yet but it is surely close! That makes me very excited. The advances the medical field has made over the last decades has been amazing, there have been at least three members of my family that have had cancer in the last 10 years and all have survived. Makes me very hopeful.

I wrote on my facebook today ... "after how many go arounds do you get tired of walking in circle? at least change the scenery" Walking in a circle gets you nowhere. When you are in the circle you don't seem to notice though - must be a short term memory thing. Sometimes you have to give up hope on - maybe this guy'll be different. Honey, none of them have been different, open those eyes of yours and use your head. Confusing as to why I care so much seeing in how this person is immature/stubborn but I hate to see someone falling (no matter who they are) down the hole they dug themselves and have dug themselves out of countless times. When will you learn?

6am Sirens

This morning I was woken a little earlier than usual by sirens from the fire station near my house on El Toro blaring. Sounded like a lot of sirens so I wonder what happened, nothing was in the news about it this morning.

My week last week pretty much consisted of house shopping. Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, Anna's Linens. It was fun, got frames, pillows, sheets, small table, towels, rugs, you name it when got it. So this weekend while Travis was at work I hung up some frames around the house, feeling a little more like home. It still is weird though, I don't feel any different than I did living at home. I told Travis that I think it's because it's only a month to month lease for some reason - as if that makes a difference.

My mom and Jason came over on Saturday night and had dinner and played the Blockus game Shane and Megan left from Friday night with us. We had our Raymond Cabernet, just as good as the first times we've had it, then the cheap 1.67 bottle - it made that stuff taste like grape juice, or even communion wine lol. I like making dinner for people, I like having people over; not necessarily parties per say but small groups of friends like my old game nights. Those are far and few now a days since I moved kind of far. Hopefully Shannel will make her way down to the North end of "South County" and be my neighbor.

Is it time for Vacation yet?

My benefits have kicked in and I have sick days to use, but then I always feel guilty about using them. Odd. It's also hard to know when to suck it up and go in and when it's ok to just stay home. Since I am at the front I have to be here all the time but I think if I don't use them then I don't get them ... booo.

"Sunday" Number Two - March?

I can not believe it is March. March 1st, really? I guess if that's how this year is going to go I better hold on and get right to the things I've left on the so called back burner.

This weekend my brother turned 23, Bill turned 25, I went to see Bon Jovi with some awesome girls and had my "house warming".

Bon Jovi was awesome like they are. To be able to start singing acapella and have the crowd finish your lyrics is unbelievable that to me would be the most acomplished feeling ever if I was a performer. To write something in hopes it cathces on then twenty some odd years later listen to thousands of people know that song by heart and sing it with as much passion as you would have hoped for is just amazing.

Yesterday was the house warming, and it was kind of a bust if you would ask me. I am really glad my family got to come and Travis' mom and dad; but the only friends that came were the ones that have seen the place. (Which I very much appreciate) The idea of the house warming was to show everyone that hasn't been there, invite them into our home - come look ... you know? When it comes down to it you see who cares.

Busy busy weekend - ready to do nothing tonight. Lately I've felt dizzy and out of sorts I don't know what it is from, well it's probably due to my eating habits if I sit and think about it it does happen more often on days when I haven't eaten breakfast. My body won't let me not eat - or I regret it.

I can't wait to have my doctor appointment (not scheduled yet) so I can see just how I am lol. Going to schedule an appointment to get my eyes checked again, even if my perscription hasn't changed I want to get a new pair of glasses so I can keep on at work and one at home and not have to worry about carrying them around in my purse all the time.

Oh just remembered - rent is due today. First rent check for the apartment oye. First of many (hopefully right?)
