Funny shit that Steve forwarded over which does remind me of him. lol.

I can't believe it's already Wednesday.

My birthday is RIGHT around the corner and hopefully hopefully this year will be a good one.

I am taking off the Friday prior and the Monday after just because. Jenn & I are either hitting the spa for the day or going kayaking which will be cool.

Kyra wants to go out one of the nights with the guys from work & her sister of which both K & Tiff are like family to me so I'm excited. Hopefully everything will work out just dandy.

Presents. What do I want? I just love presents. But some things on my wish list:

Chinese for Dummies - to prepare for my trip to China **it's a book**
Pajamas
Scented and Yummy from Bath & Body Works or Vicky's Secret
Salt City Candles
One of those Key things that you hang on the wall so you don't loose your keys, which I have and I only have my valet key of which I am DENIED access into my very own trunk.
Clothes - Banana Republic
Shoes - always
Facial Gift Certificate

I don't expect anything but just a couple of suggestions.

I have class tonight. Five weeks and this stupid statistics class is over. I'm still anxiously awaiting to see if I failed the first half. Which honestly wouldn't suprise me. It was hard and I didn't commit to all of the homework. Fingers crossed.

Had coffee with Sonia this morning to discuss some potential opportunities for me, lunch with Tonya whom I miss dearly since she's been transferred way up North and no longer has the time to steal away for 10 minutes for coffee. Tomorrow is lunch with Heather and hanging out with Jacob my soon to be new roomie after work.

This weekend I am looking forward to some routine working out, sleep and maybe a movie.

Tame.

Cancun was a B-L-A-S-T! Muy bonita! Eavesdropping on the plane, let us in on a unknown secret called Puerto Madero which is across from the Ritz Carlton. Literally one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. One a deck over the ocean. Fabulous. Went kayaking. Saw Charlie Sheen in the airport (wow is he HOT in person). Relaxed by the pool, took the bus into the city flea market to go shopping. Only went out dancing one of the nights, but went to several different clubs. Every one of which we got free entrance and free drinks all night. Cutest picture of me and Nicole that I'll have to scan and put on here.



It's official - Chris and I are living together. :) Yesterday I took the day off to recouperate (from Vacation - i know). Spent lunch with Jennifer Kakita and then just got some errands done. Speaking of Jennifer... here are some of the cutest pictures ever.

GO Trojans!

And so the week begins...

Humpty Dumpty

I live my life on the fence, not really believing either side and making decisions based on not making a decision at all. Going with the flow.

Some may consider me brave, I do not view myself as brave at all. Blind, maybe. I try to always go with my gut feeling and then I will at times ignore it. Make justifications. I am adept at convincing others including but not limited to myself. Like this morning. Go for the easier route, the expected answer but only to be unsure or unhappy. I have a feeling that there are major changes on the horizon. Less of a feeling and maybe more observant of what is happening around me.

President of the School with whom I have worked with for about four years has resigned, leaving not only a position to fill but a loss of sense of purpose as a President is what runs a school as the heart is what runs the body. Not alone, but you can't think of one without the other.

I am getting ready to go to Mexico on Wednesday after a final in my Statistics class and the purpose is to have a last hoorah bachelorette party for a close gal pal but I am desperate for the trip for my own sanity.

China is just eight weeks away. I am going to have to utilize my vacation time by December so I will be spending a lot of time off of work and hopefully even more time out of state. At this moment I am sick of Nevada. Over it.

I will need to make a trip to Florida to visit the parents, DC to visit some long lost friends (you know who you are) and maybe NY.

Today is Saturday morning and I skipped the gym although I was already en route. Having thoughts of "the ex" while driving only to see him at a stop light one car over. We were both a little suprised. And such is life.

It's 11 am. Time for breakfast, plan my work out for the day and maybe some space.

I can only balance on this fence for so long, one of these days I will end up on one side or the other.

Good Night

Okay - so nothing can really mend a bad day. Especially when that day includes the President of the company of whom which you have worked with side by side for over three years took an offer he couldn't refuse and will be with us for only a month more.

But, my dude bringing me home flowers, dinner, red wine, and ice cream certainly helped. Nothing like drinking wine and eating cookies & cream (no sugar added, natch) while watching Monday Night Football.

I feel much better today.

Had a lovely mid morning break with the Kakitas stopping by AND I got a present, which is a gift certificate to Aveda. Yeay! Thank you Thank you.

I am considering playing a joke on my CEO when I return from China by bringing in the cutest baby in the world (aka Kaija Kakita) and pretending I adopted a child from Asia during my excursion. The funny of it is, anyone who knows me wouldn't put something like that past me. And the wheels are turning. I love being mischevious.

I really want THIS before my trip, just to give it a shot.

Lunch today was with Judge Weinsteen (aka "Larry") and his adorable new assistant, Amanda. Coffee Pub. Chicken tortilla soup and asian chicken salad with hard boiled egg. Mmmmm. I am trying to make up for the ice cream last night. :)

Tonight I really need to work out, I mean I did last night for 40 minutes of cardio but I want an hour of spin and an hour of yoga or something tonight. I have worked out for a minimum of 45 minutes of cardio every day for the past three weeks only taking one day off per week. Saturday I had the most FUN class, it was Strip Tease at 24 Hour Fitness. Ralling all of my gal pals to go with me. It was a blast! Especially since Kym my Yoga instructor taught it. And he (yes - HE) can really shake his ass.

Am skipping class tomorrow and hostessing my singles event instead. Which is fun. Although I hope I don't fall behind by taking a night off. This class super sucks.

Tomorrow morning I am getting adjusted by a new chiroproctor that was a referral. I am so excited to get my neck cracked. Can't wait for the awesome sleep tomorrow night.

I'd like to give some support to MYSTY the best Life Coach in the Universe!! This Saturday from 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. on AM 720. I will definately tune in.

The week continues... like sands through an hourglass...

Why me?

Today is such a sad day for me. 9-11. Everyone remembers their exact location at the exact moment. Where was I on 9-11? I had just moved to Las Vegas like, days prior. I drove from Austin, Texas with nothing but my cat and my wardrobe. The first few days here observing the people and just the lack of community and dare I say "niceness" I experienced living in Austin for so long that if 9-11 had not happened I would have hauled ass back to Texas. Alas, the towers collapsed and the Hoover Dam was shut down including the highway to get me out of here and I was stuck. Everything happens for a reason, right? Right?

Saturday was Nicole's Bridal Shower at Commanders Palace which was fabulous. Small due to her intimate wedding but lovely. All committed to serving wine (with Renee) at Rock n Roll Wine bad ass Everclear concert ended in me not arriving at Mandalay at all. Sorry - Renee. I know Renee is cool enough to not put the blame on me ditching for something better to do or having anything to do with the person I am dating. Much more to do with being in incredible pain from a far too intense massage and just being lethargic.

Thanks - Jenn for going to church with me yesterday. AND decoding the fact that I was watching a HDTV video and not a real live pastor. To my credit - we were far back in the last row.

I ate ice cream and not the low fat kind for dinner in between my three hour nap and then finally turning in after Girls Next Door show.

I have been working out like a crazy girl. Saturday was hour of yoga, 30 minute strip tease and then returning later for another 45 minutes of elliptical.

I need to call Mysty and find out about radio show. I'm sure it was fabulous and aside from the brunch on Saturday I would have listened in. :(

Heather hasn't returned a call, email or text in a week. I miss you - H. Where have you been?

Favorite song for the next five minutes is Afterglow from INXS. Darkly romantic.

Heard some news today that has turned my world upside down. Still reeling but I will survive.

Sent text to VIP requesting a phone call that has yet to happen. I am used to being disappointed so not the end of the world.

Man, am I ever a downer today. I have my Singles Event this Wednesday which I am somewhat excited for. Next week I leave for Cancun, Mexico provided a hurricane doesn't beat me there.

Yeah, I'll have more once I'm feeling a bit peppier. Heading home for lunch. Need some down time.
