Life after the OC

My trip was quite fun!! I totally needed to retreat out of wonderful ole Sac Town!! But its sad not to be in the wonderful OC anymore! But as usual it rained there...it always rains everytime I visit...its kind of a joke now. I mean it was like 90 degrees all week and then I get there and they have a severe storm with hail and everything. But needless to say it didn't matter I still had a fab time!! My friend and I shopped like it was going out of season. It was fabulous...I love to shop! I spent a little too much but what the hell. We even drove around Laguna Beach and Tammy showed me all the hang outs from the show...I know I know I hate to admit it, but I am quite addicted to Laguna Beach...the real OC. Of course I am still a lover of the "OC" too, they are both my favorites! But I felt like such a dork getting excited over seeing where my friends from Laguna Beach hang out. Anyhow, enough with my TV obession. But overall my trip was fab. We slept in and were lazy til afternoon and we even got facials...ohhh I love facials!! And of course we ate terrific food too, my second fav thing to shopping, eating! I am quite easily entertained, can you tell? Anyways, life after the OC continues...

Off to the OC...

I just read my horoscope and it says: "Travel beckons, but take care. If you take off early on your weekend trip, there will be repercussions". This is totally not what you want to read as you are getting ready to leave early...and tonight I fly out to LA or rather the OC, sounds cooler, to visit a friend. But whatever....WooHoo, I'm still excited to get the heck out of dodge!!! Just hoping the horoscope isn't right...

I take it back...I wish for boring again

Things have been quite insane for me lately. My family has spun of out control or rather my biological fathers family has spun out of control. I'm to a point where nothing can surprise me. And lucky me I am stuck in the middle. So, I'd love to go back to when my life was quite boring. Things always seem to happen without any warning and thats what happened for sure!!! And I guess all I can say is everything happens for a reason, right??

My life has been quite boring lately

I seriuosly have felt a lack of interesting things to write about and that has a lot to do with my life being quite boring lately. But, lately I have to say I've been seeing the strangest people at the gym. Usually it is what they are wearing. Let me tell you. There was the guy who was wearing full on work clothes, white collar shirt and black slacks. What the heck? Had he forgotten his gym clothes and just thought hmmm I'll just wear what I'm already wearing? Or did he think he would sweat more? Doubtful, I think. Then there was the guy working out in flip flops, yes he was lifting, but still?? Who wears flip flops to the gym. Then, don't even get me started on the guy wearing ski boots. Ok, beofre I continue on, I must say the guy was quite nice, he told me I could use the machines he was using because he was going back and forth, so basically I am horrible person for talking crap about the strangely dressed nice guy! Ok, but anyhow I'm over it, he was wearing a black La Gear t-shirt tucked into his black sweat pants which were finished with black ski boots. And to top it off he was wearing some kind of belt that represented a cops belt that holds the gun and stuff. What the heck I thought? And this was not the first time I've seen him and yes he had worn the same thing last time. Does he realize that he kinda stands out?? Does he think it attracts the ladies or what?? Doubtful, I think. And then there's the lady who has perfectly styled hair everytime I see her. Her hair style is like hairsprayed like no other, I guess? And the style is a little outdated but heck she manages to wear it with pride! But geeze you'd think after she'd been working out that it would look sweaty or messed up alittle, nope it never moves!! What's her secret I wonder??

Katrina...

I felt weird writing today and not mentioning the hurricane Katrina. When you think mother nature can't do anything worse, she throws a curve ball at us. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of New Orleans as they deal with this horrific incident. I am thankful that I live here in Cali and don't have to deal with disasters such as this. May those affected by Katrina be strong as they deal with this!

Bridezilla

I have to totally vent about my weekend with my friend who somehow turned into a bridezilla on her own account. And believe it or not, this had nothing to do with the wedding itself, it was the Bachelorette party!! Mind you, I whom, lucky me, was chosen as the "Maid of Honor" had to plan the whole weeeknd. And if I do say so myself, it was planned beautifully, that is until the bride went bridezilla on us. We had a wonderful Saturday night in Tahoe planned. So, let me tell you, the night started and we pre-partied and opened lingerie that everyone had given her. Things were going fab!! And we even had a stripper to liven up the party. Which he did, well except for the duds who hid in the corner. Thats a story for another time. Then we headed to Cabo Wabo for dinner and then onto club altitude in Harrah's. Well, thats when our bride decided to become bridezilla. She decided that she wanted to gamble and not go into the club. What? Was my initial thought?? There will be plenty of time to gamble after, afterall it's Tahoe. Nope, she started acting wierd and for some reason did not want to hit the club. Well, we should have just stayed in line and hit the club weather she wanted to or not... but we were kind of in shock that she had decided she didn't want to do Altitude. Whatever, she was the last person to do this, well at least I thought? And from there the party went downhill, we all sobbered fast and then no one wanted to get back in line for the club. She had soured the party with her bridezilla self and that was that!!! And yet still I have no idea why she freaked on us??

lack of random thoughts

sorry kids, but I have not had anything exciting to write about... maybe its writers block? Who knows? But, I promise to be writing something fun soon...stay tuned

the infamous question...

Why is it that everytime I turn around someone is asking me if I have a boyfriend? First and foremost if I did have a boyfriend don't you think I would be the first one to announce it to the world? Hell, I would make sure everyone and their mom's knew. And I don't know about you, but when I meet someone or am talking to them I don't think does this person have a significant other? Unless of course that boy is hot and hasn't a ring on his finger. And more importantly I would not just blurt out hey do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? I happened to be at the dentist a few weeks back and the hygentist was talking to me about weddings, a fav topic of all lately, and she stops and is like of do you have a boyfriend? And I answered no...then it comes the typical answer I get always, oh but its soooo fun to be single. Ok, I do not need a pitty party from this random girl at the dentist as she's cleaning my teeth. You know they are just saying that because what else do you say when someone responds yeah I'm single. But PLEASE people don't play the freakin card that its cool to be single, that is the last thing you want to hear from a married person. And I personally think there is nothing wrong with being single! Well, except for having to answer the infamous question with a "no" everytime and then having to hear this person exclaim that its so cool to be single. When we all know if they thought it was so cool to be single they still would be! Please people that is the last thing I want to hear! Just simply don't ask and I promise the second the status changes I will send out a bulletin!!

I feel old

Well, today is my last day of being 25 and tomorrow I turn the big 26. I know that this age is not a major milestone birthday or anything. But let me tell you, I feel old. Turning 26 is that much closer to 30. Not that there is anything wrong with turning 30, its just one of those ages that freaks me out as I know it does others too. So for now I will deal with turning 26, man do I feel old...

Rude people

I totally have to go off about rude people, which goes right up there with stupid people in my book. Today is the day of rude people at my work. I am in the heating and air business so when it gets 105 like it is suppose to be today the phone goes insane. And usually its just me to handle all the lines. So, you'd think that these people would be semi-nice as they are trying to get a miracle to happen, get their air fixed in this weather. Nope, not today. Is there a full moon or something? And I have been doing this a while, so I know how to handle these people, but still. Anyhow, this leads me to my story, I was randomly reading another blog and the guy was talking about how this man had been extremely rude on the phone to him for no apparent reason. And therefore he had decided that everytime he was having a bad day he was going to call this man and yell asshole and hang up. He said it made him feel better to unleash himself on this man. Can you imagine if we all had this random person who everytime we were having a bad day we called and just yelled at and hung up? And mind you they totally deserved it because they had been rude to you first, not really, but nice thought huh? But, every once in a while we could all use a punching bag to unleash the ourselves!

May she have bad karma forever

My car definitely has a bulls eye on it. I was hit the other weekend leaving the mall. And to top it off the dang lady drove off. Yep, hit and run! Dang her!! And I had just recently settled from my first car accident in which a man had t-boned me. I was so done with having to deal with this shit and it happens again. My poor car and its not like it is a really bad dent or anything but still. I hope this lady has bad karma for the rest of her life... she deserves it! At least if she had stopped and didn't have insurance I would have gotten my deductible waived, but because it was a hit and run I have to pay it, whack huh? If I was a witch or something I'd put a cruse on her... but since I'm not, may she have bad karma forever!

boys & their cars

Ok, so lately I've been noticing a lot of boys driving those VW golf cars. And it's always the same type of looking boy. It's usually a skater type looking boy in his late teens early twenties. It's like how people look like their dogs, I think people look like their cars. I would never expect to see a middle aged woman tooling around town in her VW golf, it just wouldn't happen. And I am not particularily sure what these boys see in these cars. And I know that they must have some appeal about them because for a second there my brother wanted one... mind you he's like 23 now. He totally fits the profile of whom I expect to see driving it. And I have actually dated a guy who drove one before and yeah that says it all. There is nothing at all special about these dang little cars, yet he treated it like a sportscar. I mean come on it's a small box looking car, nothing to write home about. Next time you are driving around check out the driver of one of these golfs, I'm sure you'd too think he kinda looks like his car in a wierd sort of way. And does he fit the imagine of every guy I see driving one? Don't even get me started on boys who drive mustangs...

Dang Dry Cleaners

So yesterday I made my quarterly visit to the dry cleaners as I do not usually have that much stuff to dry clean. And my bill ended up being like $90, ok $86.50 but still. What the heck I thought? Had I missed something?? Didn't it used to be $1.99 any garment, well not anymore. And I know I am not the only one who has notcied this drastic price increase in dry cleaners as many of my friends have commented on it. Yeah, I did drop off a lot of shit... a comforter, like 7 sweaters, 2 pants, and 2 shirts, but still?? And when did shirts turn into sweaters? She charged me sweater price on a few of my shirts. And its not like I am going to be, well nevermind, I think I'll shop around. It's one of those things where they know that you aren't going to go elsewhere, so why not jack up prices, ya know? Whatever, I guess I should not wait so long next time to visit the cleaners??

Soldiers

Everyone morning I turn on my computer and read the news for the day via my yahoo home page. And it is starting to get to me that everyday it seems that the lead story is about the war and those who had died fighting. It really is starting to hit home with me as my cousin is serving over in Germany right now. This war is a serious thing, a thing that many of us forget about as we go on day by day. She is over there treating and healing our wounded soliders. While, I am over here deciding what I want to do for my friday night. Today happens to be my cousins birthday and she just emailed me to say she is spending the day working, taking care of 5 soldiers who were wounded by a suicide bomber. Can you imagine spending your birthday like that? It makes me realize how lucky I am. Lucky to live in a country where prople stand up and fight for us and our freedom. Without these wonderful soldiers, where would we be? It makes me realize that things that I think are important or things that I stress over, just don't seem so important anymore. What is important is gettnig back our soldiers alive and well.

A crazy orange cat named Taylor

I thought that getting a cute orange cat would be so much fun. She would just be a cute cat who sits on your lap...not my cat.... she's insane! Taylor is a crazy orange female cat which I've been told is rare in itself as most orange cats are male, whom I've had for a year now. So far this cat has used up numerous of her lives. Let's see where do I start, well the first instance was the most crazy. The dang cat somehow swallowed a dime, yes that is correct a dime. And let me tell you it cost a pretty penny to remove this dime that had gotten stuck inside my cat. I plan on framing this costly dime. In the mean time, Taylor has figured out how to hunt and has brought me a couple of fun presents. Which would normally be fine, but this rodents have been alive half the time... lets see first it was a bird, which started flying around my house feathers flying as Taylor looks on proud of her doing. Then, it was another bird, this one not so lucky, but she proceeds to bring it upstairs and leave it by my bedroom, great thing to wake up too huh?? And the latest hunt was a bat, a bat that was still alive and making bat noises. Have you ever heard of a cat catching a bat before?? I mean come on. Needless to say, Taylor no longer has use of the doggie door in which she figured was there to bring in her prizes to me. Well, now the cat has done it again and she either was bit by something or fell on something and has a open wound on her stomach. And I have to now give her antibotics by mouth twice a day, and this is not an easy thing, let me tell you! It has actually become quite a process, she's smartened up and knows when I am coming at her with a towel (to hold her) that it's medicine time. I mean if anyone saw me running after my cat with a towel in one hand and a dropper in the other hand, they'd think I was insane. It actually makes me laugh, because this stuff always happens to me, only my cat would do this... what was I thinking getting a crazy orange cat?? All I have to say is she's lucky she's cute!

Bitter Single People

Have you ever known that friend that is just bitter as can be about being single?? I mean I don't know about you, but I am ok with the fact that I am still single. Yeah, don't get me wrong, its not like I want to be single forever or anything, but heck I am only 25, ok almost 26, but still? I know that there is a reason for everything. So, my attituide is good things come to those who wait, you know? But its really hard to have that attitude when hanging around those bitter types. My friend states that she is getting closer and closer to 30 and what if she never finds anyone?? Who thinks like that? I mean I understand being scared to be alone or whatever, but come on you need to think positively about life or you will never get anywhere. She then proceeds to inform me that all of our friends met their men in college and we didn't... and I just don't think like that at all. And yeah, we had just been to a wedding when this friend and I were out, so yeah she was in that mode. But, I was just happy as can be for my friend who had gotten married and here my bitter friend is going off about never finding anyoone. It was such a downer. I stick to my orginial thought, good things come to those who wait!!

Did I say how much I hate hotels?

Ok, so I have to talk about my drama with dealing with the Mark Hopkins Hotel in SF. May, I say that this is a very nice hotel in the Nob Hill area in SF... yet I have never had as much drama then I had dealing with them. I booked rooms through the website for my roomate Natasha's Bachelorette party and boy was that a big mistake!!! I thought by advance purchasing my rooms it would be easier, NO, it so wasn't! After I returned I checked my credit card statement and long behold they had charged my card with these random charges. The damn hotel just could not get it through their head that I had already paid for my rooms! So, I kinda of had a feeling that this would happen. And I have been dealing with a nice man in accounting named Tony ever since. And he swears stuff like this never happens... so I had to inform him that this stuff always happens to me, so I am totally not suprised! And by now Tony and I are on a first name basis. But, Tony just could not seem to understand either, how hard is it?? I had already paid for my rooms then you charged me all of these random charges anyway! Hello, should I speak spanish perhaps?? I mean at this point Tony must have thought I was crazy, we had talked back and forth so many times it wasn't even funny. Finally, after numerous calls back and forth I think it has finally been settled. But, ahhh I informed Tony that this internet advance purchase thing ended up being more work than its worth. And he informed me that he hoped I would stay at the Hark Hopkins again, I laughed & told him I would perhaps, but would NEVER advance purchase my rooms again!!!! And they say this internet advance purchase is so easy...

We'll see

Well, I am not quite sure what the heck I have to write about, but we'll see. I've had such random luck lately that I thought I'd share my random thoughts with whomever would like to read.
