Hey, it's "me"

Everyone is entitled to be a little lazy now and then, speak in half sentences, drop a few words here and there, create a few words to make things FUNNER. BUT! why are you too freakin lazy to tell me your NAME when you leave messages??!! "Hey head dump, it's ME" who the f*** is ME? Unless that's your name, you're not "ME"! Do you think I only have one friend? okay okay, I may have a small circle of friends but 'common now, after all that static on my cell phone you're all starting to sound the same. male, female, male trying to sound female I dunno.. WHO ARE YOU!!! why do you have to make me search my caller ID? Just tell me your name. Just say it! "say your name bitch!"

Those 2 weeks

There are two painful weeks in a month in a woman's life. The week before and the week of her period. You PMS, then you bleed. When you really think about it, we spend 1/4 of the year bitching and anther 1/4 of the year bleeding that leaves us only 1/2 a year to lead a normal life! That means a quarter of women's decisions are hormonally influenced and another quarter with cranky, bloating symptoms. That wasn't the point of this story though, it was simply something I concluded while diagnosing my eating habits. I have a pretty strong craving for sweets, but most of the time I can keep it under control. I also work out frequently to stay in shape, but when that one special week comes I lose all self control! I'll stock up on chocolate! lots of chocolate! I have this brownie cake sitting in front of me right now that weighed about 5 pounds! I bought it on Saturday along with some chocolate bread pudding, a pear danish and some other pastry. The brownie is already half gone and I cleared the bread pudding on Sunday and the other two pastries on Saturday. I pretty much took in my months' caloric intake in one week! and I do this every month!! Why do I work so hard at the gym just to sabotage my hard work with this food!! crap, this blog is taking awhile to write between my brownie bites.

mmm....yummy.... actually maybe this PMS stuff isn't so bad after all. I get to indulge in all the good sinful sweets that I normally won't allow myself to indulge in, and I give myself excuses to miss the gym. I also feel it's quite ok to bitch slap those who get in the way. ahh.. yes, those 2 fabulous weeks.

Olympics

oooh, this is bad, but last night I went to a bar that had the olympics on TV. It was the men's gymnastics. I haven't been keeping up with the olympics, but when I saw those guys on the rings and vaults I thought woa... they've got pretty nice bodies, then the men's swimming events came on. I think I might actually start watching 'cuz some of these guys are hot!

over time bitch fest

I've always felt it was important to have some time to yourself, but lately I've been missing it more than anything. I still spend most of my week nights alone, watching TV, DVD's mostly, chatting online of just catching up on some chores, bills, laundry, cleaning and stuff. But there's been so much happening at work for the past 2-3 wks. The minute I step foot through that door at 8am I know I won't be sitting down till lunch time, and that's when I go work out. I come back around 2pm, catch up on emails then 2:30 hits and i'm off running through the halls again, yes, literally running from the back room up to the front. I have been putting more and more hours in the weekends to work and all the deadlines, constantly talking to people, several people throughout the day, listening, empathizing, understanding, ignoring the whiners and at times getting hit on! WTF, this one white guy in his late 30's flat out asked me my height and weight, I didn't answer, "how old are you?", I continued my portion of the questioning, "do you have a boyfriend?" fockers, how disrespectful... by the time I get home I don't want to talk to anyone (conveniently my roomate is never around). Ssshh... and a beer or some kind of herbal remedy would be great, thank you.

Shopping is a great remedy. I bought a new pair of jeans the other day, it's supposed to make my booty look good. I sure spent enough on them. I also got this blush for Benefit, but I don't even see the colour show up on my face.. what a rip. I'm thinking of buying a guitar! I want to learn to play. I'm also looking into joining a running clinic or hiking club or some club to show me some good trails. That is one thing I like lots about the Bay area. There are lots of trails around, though the nicer one's are usually further away. oh, and I want an electric piano too, so I can play and not irritate the hell out of my roomates or neighbours. hm.. 1:30, time to take a nap since I didn't hit the gym.

22 bites

I couldnt' sleep well Sunday night 'cuz I was scratching myself all over. I finally took a count of how many mosquito bites i have, and here's the stats. 5 on my left arm 4 on my right, 3 on my right leg and one hella itchy one on my left, 4 on my forehead and 2 on my neck, one on my head and lastly one little annoying one on my back. It was still worth it.

quirly helped me figure out how to use web IM, not that it was hard to figure out, but she definetly helped me find it. Not sure if that's a good thing though 'cuz now i'll be IMing at work!!! or atleast when the Boss isn't around.

Lost creativity

The Boss came back lasts Monday, that definitely stumped my ability to blog during the day. Anyhow, just got back from an overnight camping trip. It was great. I can say that now, but when I was hiking 7mi in 85+ degrees of dry heat with a freakin 30 pound pack on my back I was wondering what I was doing! But once we got to our camp site and took a swim in the cold water, after walking bare foot for at least 30 minutes over jagged rocks some covered in moss and then little pebbles that cut into your foot, it was worth it. The cold water felt really nice as it washed away our sticky sweat and soothed the mosquito bites we've accumulated along the way. Then we had to walk back over the jagged rocks some covered in moss and then little pebbles that cut into your foot to our camp site and make some food. Those freeze dry packages aren't bad at all!

When the sky became dark, the countless number of stars in the sky was indescribable. There was not one spot that wasn't covered with bright twinkling stars. It was great.

The next morning was the same grueling hike back to the car. But once we got home, the shower was my best friend. ahh..... can't wait to sleep on my bed tonight and be able to freely scratch those mosquito bites without the restraints of a sleeping bag.

sick

I've got this crazy lump in my throat and it hurts every time I swollow. (My roomate Big Al likes it every time i say that, perve) I think my tonsils are infected somehow. Got a fever on Monday and Tuesday and I think I'm finally feeling better now, but my throat still hurts. I'm taking lots of Vit C, echinacea, got a jamba juice OJ w/immune boost, then i'm going to drown myself w/cranberry juice and some cold meds before I sleep. please make this thing go away before the weekend.

I'm going to back pack through Big Sur and Camp over night, i'm so psyched. But I need to find a digital camera before the weekend, I still don't have one yet! I'm going to take a day off tomorrow to rest and by camping supplies yaya, shopping! that's good therapy.

A walk in the Clouds

Sunday had a heavy overcast, but we headed across the Golden Gate towards Mount Tamaplais anyways. We took the first exit and drove towards point Bonita. The winds were gustily but luckily it wasn’t too cold. We looked at the view of the city and the Golden Gate. Then we drove further in towards a fort (forgot the name). We began our hike after a short snack in the parking lot. We started off following a wide dirt trail then continued along the cliffs. The mountain was mostly bare, it was covered in browned grass and short thick shrubs that occasionally reached beyond my knees. Although it was cloudy and windy the view was still magnificent. There was no one in sight, no city buildings and no traffic. All we heard were sounds of the ocean, wind and fog horn, oh and our own voices. I think most people would prefer to hike on sunny days, but I would never have guessed how beautiful nature can be even when it’s cloudy. We continued hiking up along our “trail”, cutting through bushes, climbing up dirt then reached at concrete platform. At this point we were already in the clouds. We weren’t able to see more than 20 ft ahead of us. I felt as though I was in heaven. We layed down on the platform and took a little nap, when we opened our eyes the world around us felt surreal. Everything was white. This was a nice easy hike to go on. Once I figure out the location I'll have to take twirly squirly on it.
