ug. really creepy to see all your information on random websites - being 'on the grid' freaks me out - they show age, family members, etc.

Monday, December 27, 2010

It's not windy, raining, or foggy today - there's no good excuse to not go for a run... the new race year starts in 2 months, must train!

Saturday, December 25, 2010

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Wednesday, December 22, 2010

A break in the rain after several days and the birds are chirping - what a nice sweet sound.
Not only has it been raining for 5 days straight (I can't remember that happening in SoCal since El Nino '97) but it's really pouring now.

Tuesday, December 21, 2010

Nearly done with season 2 of #babylon5 - shit is gettin' real.
People have been saying it and I'm inclined to agree. Time to head to Home Depot and pick up supplies for an Ark - raining 3 days non-stop.

Sunday, December 19, 2010

Unusual for #SoCal - it's been #raining non-stop all day... we weren't inside all fat and lazy enough, so I just made a #baskinrobbins run!

Saturday, December 18, 2010

got lazy for dinner - making mac n cheese - i add frozen peas and canned tuna... a meal of tasty, easy, processed food - the American dream.
Life, relationships, choices, happiness, stuggles, ug.

#chargers pwnd last night... tonight I get to go to a company xmas party (my guy has a real job) - after dentist, hair appt, work, whew!

Thursday, December 16, 2010

My guy's boss gave us tix to the #chargers game tonight, we're off to San Diego, woot!
Hard to keep daily calories down with chocolate truffles, shortbread w/lemon curd, bread pudding - my fav deserts all super high calories.

Tuesday, December 14, 2010

Prophecy is a guess that comes true. When it doesn't, it's a metaphor.
AHK! I just now figured out why crazy #lost mother Danielle was familiar - she was Delenn on #babylon5 - I can sleep at night. haha
To make #chase banking matters even funner, I am staring at my business ATM yet someone used it at an ATM in GGrove Fri and took out $500.

Monday, December 13, 2010

#chase ditching old #wamu free checking, so moving back to #bofa for their echecking - after leaving them almost 5 years ago for same reason

Wednesday, December 8, 2010

Saturday, December 4, 2010

Wednesday, November 17, 2010

So I decided to do the #biggestloser 500 step-ups. I'm tall so I'm not 100% sure stair steps are tall enough 4 me, it took 15min + I'm dizzy
I didn't sleep yet. Play hard, work hard! Well, hard isn't really how I'd describe either, but it's just a saying, afterall. haha

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

pulled the trigger: impulse shopping at #bestbuy so now I, a graphic designer, finally have a 16:9 monitor #hp sticker sucks to remove

Be strong and do not give up - your work will be rewarded.
Whoa! The wind is so strong I couldn't sleep through the noise - things are falling over outside, and the house just shook!

Monday, November 8, 2010

#priceline customer service FTW! Denied bid, added areas, got the rate - for a hotel listed for LESS than my bid. Got difference back + $25
SO! #Bestbuy apparently refuses to take our old stove when installing new one, something about age, code, and one-piece being issues. *sigh*

Saturday, November 6, 2010

Just got back from toning-type workout for free at #innovative-results in Costa Mesa as prep for #gladiator #rock'n'run - fun group!

WHY is it F*&@ing 99F??!??!

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

I remain baffled as to pot's schedule 1 status and how it is deemed illegal while alcohol and nicotine are not.

Tuesday, November 2, 2010

walked to #vote (.8 mi), ran to bank (1), ran to store (.7), walked home w/ bags (.8)... sounded like a nice plan 'cept it was 95 F outside.
Please Vote!

Monday, November 1, 2010

Sorry if you try to contact me by phone and cannot - i have ceased to answer to the phone due to high amount of voting spam calls.
Mmmm. Candy for breakfast and lunch. haha

Friday, October 29, 2010

Other than interaction with people (rare), I actually missed working in a company after Errol sent pix of an office with decorated cubicals.

Wednesday, October 27, 2010

Had a family-filled weekend, fun at Medieval Times, and then tons of FB bday wishes in my inbox this morning. (-:

Thursday, October 21, 2010

Sorry #weather.com and #weather.gov - it is NOT partly sunny, it's actually been lightly raining ALL day so far, so 'Percip. 0 in' is wrong.

Tuesday, October 19, 2010

Last year a client of mine died, now we can't find any login information to the website host, and they want an ID faxed to them. lol

Wednesday, August 25, 2010

Sunday, August 22, 2010

today there are bundles of bees outside, the one on my neighbors patio is quite large - we'll see if they move along tomorrow.

Sunday, August 15, 2010

Watching Hung, my guy says: Sorry, I won't beat a beaver for you.
Watching True Blood, my guys says: I'm glad you're not a slipper-wearing person... 'cause those look stupid.
Boyfriend says: If you are trying to get it in the hole, it's better to be a little long than a little short.

Saturday, August 14, 2010

Moving from one storage unit to larger one a short walk up a wee hill - but MAN that hill got large by the 6th flat I pushed up it.

Friday, August 13, 2010

Thursday, August 12, 2010

Sand, stones, brick, soil, plants, seed, pots, grout - and a new decision (as part of my 'finishing' the back patio) to cut more stone tiles

Seven stars and seven stones and one white tree...

ripped out more vines yesterday and rearranged the patio furniture. A sore back, but a nicer place to relax, has resulted.

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

Trying to send large digital files to a printer in China is nothing short of silly. Skype took forever, but at least it worked.

Monday, May 3, 2010

Every time a CA governor campaign ad comes on it makes me want to vote for the other guy - after 3 months of this I am really confused.

Thursday, April 1, 2010

Friday, March 26, 2010

Thursday, February 18, 2010

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

Saturday, January 16, 2010

It's flat out gorgeous outside today. I ended up hiking past my water supply (3.15 hrs) but saw some amazing views: ocean, catalina, mtns
Doubling my workout (2 hrs gym, 4+ mi running) has made me take more days off. *sore* Wish I could afford some yoga for those days. *broke*

Friday, January 15, 2010

I can't tell if I'm really grumpy or if I am actually surrounded by assholes.
