So Cal vs No Cal

So, I just came back from a walk to Vons. Along the way I saw too much trash, a couple of shopping carts, 3 unfriendly people and best of all a mufflerless truck screeched by me literally causing me to cover my ears and the noxious fumes caused me to cover my mouth and nose.
It is a beautiful sunny day here in Ventura. I have my Venti Iced coffee and was just going to check my e-mails and maybe take a short nap before work. Uh nuh! My new neighbors are working on their plumbing.
Let me back up... for the last 3 weeks the neighbors on my left have been working on redoing pretty much their whole condo. (it's been empty for about 6 months and they just purchased it) Now, I just found out 2 days ago that the condo on my right was just purchased, it's been empty for awhile too. So, evidently they are starting their reno. Did I mention how much I love it here? I don't. My association does absolutely nothing. I have not received any phone calls or notices about any renovations. Did I mention I work 3 swings and 2 graves? Yeah, cool huh?
I have an opportunity to move to No Cal with my Mom. I have been thinking about it for quite some time. The Pro list just grew about a book I'd say. :0

It's a new dawn.

It's a new year! Yay! Can't say that I'm sorry to see 2010 go. I will make 2011 a great one. I have to. No more pity parties. No more pain, no more extra weight!

I dunno

All I ask is that you treat me with respect and that you're honest. Is that really asking for alot? Whether you're male or female, just be honest. I am 46 yrs. old soon to be 47 and I still can't figure people out.

I never was a plastic. My elementary and high school friends and I used to make fun of my sister and her friends because they were the plastics. Kissing on both cheeks, squealing at each other saying hi in the mornings before school... (after all they hadn't seen each other since the day before) We always hated that and swore we never would be like that, and I'm not. I am respectful too, unless you haven't earned it. UGH! I dunno!

Maybe I'm feeling a little sorry for myself today. Maybe I should become a plastic after all.

Emotional

I guess it's the time of year when I would normally have a breakdown. I'm not gonna do it. I have finally just told myself that I only need a few key people in my life. All the negativity has got to go.

So, to those of you who have been there for me...you know who you are I just want to say, I love you. I am so grateful and don't know how I could have survived without you. I'm always here for you.

The rest of you will need to give it some time and hopefully mature with age. You've been lucky. You haven't had to deal with real trauma and I sincerely hope you never will. I'd like to say that I'll be here for you when and if it happens, but I'm not sure if I'm that big of a person. I'll try.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I will be working but will have a dinner on Friday. Thinking about shopping early am. Oh No She Dient

Good morning Olie

I was awakened this morning by my Olie. "Gross out alert", he was trying to hack up a hairball I thought. Turns out he just ate too much too fast. Food all over my bed. Nice way to wake up.

On the other hand, he is such a big baby, and I can be too. He scooted down to the bottom of the bed hangin his head. I called him up to the top and he immediately started purring and snuggled his head into the crook of my arm and passed out. He's always there when I don't feel good, how could I not be there for him?

So, you don't like cats? Don't read this. Bite me. I love my Olie, especially. There have been times when I have been crying or been sick etc... and he just knows that I need him. He will mysteriously find me wherever I am in the house and come snuggle and purr. :)

I'm losin it

So, I have officially started my trek to lose the extra pounds. I went to Jenny. I wish I could be sayin I went to Jarrods, but no Jenny. ha ha. And, no I don't mean to Jarrods for any ring. I mean to buy jewelry.

It's not that bad. I figure that with diet and exercise I'll be where I wanna be sooner than later. We never know what could happen tomorrow, so we gotta do what we need to do now. I'm lucky. I could be in a wheelchair right now as I write this, but I'm not!

I'm still having some issues with the boy. I've decided that I'm gonna leave it alone. I'm working on me and my happiness. He will benefit from it too. If I have to be gone all day, oh well.

shhh

The quiet isn't enough today
I need to be alone
If only I could become the wind
Then I would be gone

The quiet isn't enough today
I wish everything would stop
There isn't any hope for it
to be too slow, too shhh, too psst, too ahhhhh...
