Dig: Incubus
We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easier to identify.
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness;
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us,
At least we dig each other

Weekend was lovely. Friday hit the gym, Saturday was chiropractor visit and errands with just kickin it on Saturday night. Sunday I wasn't feeling too hot so just church and lounging. Today is a new day, new week. Lunch with gal pal Jen M. to celebrate belated birthday. Will start getting more involved with her volunteer events. Still waiting to get rolling with American Cancer Society volunteer efforts so in the meantime... I think this weekend is my first event with cooking pizza with a bunch of children in a foster home then eating with them, playing basketball and video games. I have made a committment to start focusing more on friends and doing things other than working my tail off.

An opportunity has reared its head from outside of the State and just in enough time I decided not to go as there was raging wild fires throughout the area.

Booking ticket to fly home next month, something to be said about having Christmas in April since I haven't been to Florida is over a year. Time flies.

This week, lunch with Jen (check); lunch with Cindy Wednesday; potential dinner social with Mysty tomorrow. Just keeping busy. Tonight is training at NY NY and then hitting the gym for some weights.

Until next time..

Pasadena

I'm in love... with Pasadena. What a gorgeous little city. If I could find a job there that would allow me the lifestyle of living in a condo in central pasadena, walking distance from both PF Changs & Sephora & BCBG I would be there in a second. (Sorry, honey... you can come, too).

Gorgeous. Aside from something small and vicious getting in my eye I had a great time. Saturday night met some of Jen's LA friends and desperately attempting to not show that I am in various levels of pain had a great time. Funny thing is? My eye is STILL jacked up. Ouch!

I am off this Friday for another, yet more brief, juant to California for some personal business.

Things I am pondering:

Two week immersion learning trip with UOP in Cuernavaca Mexico. The upsides: hellooo - It's Mexico. Picking up needed elective credits to complete my degree. My financial aid pays for everything except the boarding which is like three hundred bucks. (Which is the same amount as the dress I very much love from BCBGs window mannequin)

Downside: It will delay my initial completion date eight weeks. Must find someone to feed and love my kitty, Princess, for that length of time.

I don't believe I'll make it to Greece this year as planned. None of my buds can make it with me in September and I'd rather go with someone FUN.

I am visiting my family in Florida in April, which is exciting because it has been a long time... we'll hit the beach, go canoeing at Wekiwa Springs, hit either Disney or my former employer Universal Studios. I miss the days of living in nothing but my bikini on the weekends. Someday, I will make it back home to live. Someday.

This class in school is brutal, but will really help my career. My poor staff will be sick of my new "training plans" that I have been implimenting since learning some new directives in this course. See, you don't need this to succeed.

What's on the agenda? A luau in April for the employees at work. Back to the NY NY as part of the fitness posse with Jen and then hopefully a relaxing weekend.
