Big News In Davis

So, I walk into work and my co-worker shows us a video of her apt where a woman was shot by a police woman. Wow, her place is pretty ghetto...there has been other things occuring there. I couldn't find the video, but here is the article.

Davis Woman Shot

My co-worker said she heard a lady scream (the lady heard her family member was shot).

I brought in pumpkin bread and everyone loves it. Yay!

Yesterday, went to Bath and Body Works and bought pumpkin and Autumn smelling candles. Safeway had no pumpkin but Save Mart had only 2, so I bought those. Someone told me that Libby's is having a pumpkin shortage, so hopefully there will be a lot more cans soon. Davis is crazy around 5pm. I will try to avoid it. Smelled good with the candle burning and pumpkin bread cooking. Watched Vampire Diaries. Don't know where all the time went yesterday. Boo. Nice and cold today...feeling like Fall.

Feeling Like Fall

Today, the high will be 73 degrees! Now it is starting to feel like Fall. It will be more so since I plan on making pumpkin bread. I have evaporated milk and don't really want to waste it. Also have a ton of eggs still and walnuts. Might bring it to work tomorrow.

Yesterday, got home, pigged out, and went to chorus. Had a few new people. On of the Alto 2s took off during break. She didn't talk to anyone, so I think she just dropped us. I think our "gay-ness" and changing God to Love on our songs may have offended her? Not sure, but she looked pretty "straight laced", the term Joe told me I looked like when I first met him. I am more than meets the eyes, as many will discover. But she perhaps thought that since we practice in a church that we are religiously affiliated? No, we just practice at a church. Not to say that none of us are religious, just that our goal is to help women's issues mostly. It was sad she just took off without explaining anything. Whooosss! She couldn't handle how awesome we are!

I just can't wait to take it easy after work and have the smell of pumpkin in the apt.

Retro Junk

I totally had this Barbie. Of course I would!

Workout Barbie

Chicken

Random title, but I was just on Digg and there again staring at my face was the Dokken v. Chicken commercial that is totally awesome: Dokken v. Chicken there is another outcome to this commercial: Dokken v. Chicken II. I always think of Mackenzie when I see this...due to his love of 80's metal bands and chicken. Perfect combo!

Weekend was crazy and good.

Friday: went to East Sac to set up for the yard sale. Dropped off my stuff. Someone cut her leg open and was totally bleeding everywhere when she walked past a sharp sprinkler on the side of the house. Called the ambulence. Crazy. Kinda died out after that. I hung up signs in the neiborhood with another really tired person.

Saturday: slept in. Went to the yard sale. Started to pack up stuff. Turns out we made over $1200!!! That is crazy! Sold most of the food and most of my stuff was gone. Yay! Took the rest to Goodwill. The lady there was like, don't have another yard sale any time soon because we still had a massive amount of junk. Went to Ink and the food was really good! Had fun with the gang. Went home. Worked out. Ate the rest of my sandwich. Watched The Blob. It was pretty good.

Sunday: Slept forever. Read, watched tv. Sectionals were canceled. So, went on a walk around the area, saw the edge of the world (fields) and found a small park. Our neighborhood is nautical themed street names. It was hot! Watched more tv...Pretty lazy day.

Been hungry all day for some reason. Took Mack to the airport before work. I want food.

I was looking at WebMD and wondering what they would say about my cold/numb fingers I get in the winter. Here is what I found out:

Raynaud's Phenomenon

I would like to add Snuggie for the treatment section :)

Stayed at Home

Yesterday, I took a vacation day due to the pending strike about faculty not wanting furlough days on non-teaching days. I learned today that there was a rally at noon. Mack told me it wasn't a big deal, but he went to campus around 3 yesterday.

I got up early yesterday. Boo. But I watched a lot of pilot episodes. I want to see the second episode of all I watched. Caught up with Grey's Anatomy. What a cliffhanger! Gotta watch a lot of new shows today after the garage sale drop off thing. Baked pumpkin bread and pumpkin muffins. Tasted good! Had the oven on for two straight hours and it was hot, so yay...that was so fun...
Found more items to get rid of.

It's Friday! I kept thinking yesterday was Saturday. I had to keep telling myself today is Friday because it feels like Monday. We are ordering pizza at work...yay! I'm already hungry.

Morse Code

There are workers directly below us that are hammering and it's like Morse code. A few coworkers pounded back.

Yesterday, I was tired, but actually worked out. Was good...did my Wave thingy and crunches. Watched Grey's Anatomy to catch up. Still have 5 episodes to go...I'm giving it another chance. I don't know how time flies after work. I also saw some Star Trek. But I felt like I didn't do much. So sad!

Going to be baking tomorrow and finding more stuff for the garage sale. I know I can get some office supplies and a few more pieces of clothing out. Maybe a few more books too and videos too...It's amazing how much crap I have just lying around. I really don't need all of it.

I might try to decorate the apt this weekend...It's fun to celebrate holidays. Still no plans on Halloween itself...but going to the Fremont Pirates thing and also the Dixon Corn Maze. I want to carve pumpkins as well.

Tired

I could have slept another hour at least. Boo! I'm looking up recipes for when I am baking on Thursday.

Yesterday, we had a meeting before chorus practice early, so I got there late. Oh well. I live in Davis, and I waited out the traffic. I was tired, so I started to slump over and Joe made a comment about how some people were slumping. I was one of those people. I feel pretty comfortable with a lot of music now.

Wednesdays will be free for me, since my tutor cannot make it. Farmer's Market time!!!

My ear has been good for the past few days, now it is acting up again. Grrr! Gotta drug myself up again. It really sucks! I thought lowering my caffeine intake would help! Also been drinking more water. Guess it just is allergies. They are bad in summer. Can't wait for Fall!!!

This is awesome!

Doggie Riverdance

haha, police got caught playing Wii!

Police Wii

Crickets

Had a good weekend.

Friday: Relaxed for a bit. Went to supervisor's bbq. Good stuff. I felt the one beer I had since I was really hungry. Went to bed.

Saturday: Actually slept in til 9! wow! Read a lot, went to chorus sectional at Head Hunters. Turns out there was an Imperial Ball that night, so Head Hunters was actually open. I met the gallery owner next door. Told me I was skinny and to eat. (Gay man who had food catered for the event. He was running for Grand Duke). I love how I get compliments! Hung out with the ladies for a while. Went home and read a lot more. Worked out. Got tired. Mack was all into getting rid of crickets. Smelled like Raid the rest of the day.

Sunday: Got up way too early. 7! I was watching Buffy and eating and I guess crunched too loudly on my nuts since it woke Mack up. Those damn old people... haha. Started pricing with a friend. That was fun! Scary cricket outside-black this time! Raid to the rescue! Went to chorus sectional-this time it really happened. Did good, got a CD. Got hugs :) Watched Star Trek. Couldn't sleep. Started to read. Forgot it was really late. Went to bed.

Today, talked about the walk out on Thursday. I am taking vacation hours that day. And I am going to bake all day!!! That works out for me! Need to prepare recipes and ingredients. Maybe Mack wants to help? ;)

Oh, another cricket thing which freaks me out the most. I saw one in the kitchen sink!!! Nooo!!! That is way too close to food! I turned on the water and used the garbage disposal to grind that sucker to death! I hate bugs!

Fearless Customer

ARRRRRRR!

It's talk like a pirate day (observed) at work. Me ship is at port at Center City. The anchor needs a'fixin'. (car is in shop to fix brakes). Had me some grog (diet coke). ARRRRR!!! That is what me hardies are feeling right now about the time out from sea. Scurvy landlubbers who want to make some extra doubloons! ARG! (talking about the furlough situation).

Now in normal talk. Went to Black Bear diner in bay area for Nikki's bday. Had fun, laughed about the ritual my dad did when we were growing up of changing the clocks during day lights savings and end of day light savings. BAaaa-dooooo dooo dooo it is 6:07 5 sec. pacific standard time....wooooosh (sound of wind). Great times. Also made fun of how dad would say "God damn it". lol. Mack was clueless. You had to be there! Can't wait for good food at work and at the bbq tonight!

It's gonna get scary...

I am just thinking about how it is going to be really scary biking next week when everyone is back in school. I'm really scared biking near the dorms. Those freshmen don't know the biking rules (I honestly didn't know them when I was a Freshmen). I wonder if I should do hardcore biking, meaning bike during Winter. I'd have to buy special gear for that.

Yesterday, went to Safeway (gotta have my pudding). Worked out to an old school Firm with the sculpting stick. Good workout! One of my favs now. Watched Step Brothers. Horrible lol. Entertaining at least.

Today, going home for Black Bear Diner dinner celebrating Nicola's birthday. ARRR!

Another gem of a website: Don't Judge My Hair

Sad

Today, we starting off the day by going over furlough things and someone told a sad story about someone falling to his death after getting tangled while sky diving. I saw a video of a girl who silenced adults for five minutes and was sad but very great since I love hearing children speak out.

The Girl Who Silenced Adults for 5 min

Yesterday, went to Frys and got an antenna for the Internet and it works really well. I will go ahead and admit this since I am not afraid of what people think of me: I worked out to Richard Simmon's 80's Blast dvd. He is hilarious, so it keeps me going. Tells us to "sparkle" and that "you are my best friend". I actually sweated some and the music and moves were totally awesome, dude! Did another work out, but I don't seem to be starving after. boo!

This is awesome:

Carl's Jr. Jingle

Just gotta post this again:

Jack in the box

Funny:

Girl reject dad' foul ball

Will it ever stop?

My title is talking about celebrity deaths this summer. We have added another one: Patrick Swayze. Sad.

Yesterday, went to chorus. I was tired. I really need to practice my parts...

I got a letter from Eiko in Japan. The envelope was totally Japanese...like Little Kitty stuff. That is cool.

Tired.

How could I forget to write about the Wearable Towel? Perhaps my next purchase?

Now there is a fashion show on it!

Where did the weekend go?

Friday: went to see 9. I liked it. Pretty much went to bed early.

Saturday: Woke up early and went to a wedding of Mack's friend in Livermore. Learned that the bride is Bosnian and had a live Bosnian band. They didn't toss the bouquet or garter. Things just kinda happened without us really knowing what was going on. Went home and did laundry, worked out, and went to bed early.

Sunday: Got up way too early, but it was good since I wrote down book club stuff. Book club was fun. A couple of the ladies said I have a "mom vibe" to me and said I would make a good mom. Wow, that was good to hear. I told Mack this and said I must be a MILF. Went to Target and got a ton of stuff but not that much money with my 10% :) Got a new pillow that I am very happy with. I slept so well and the pillow really makes a difference. My old one was lumpy and too soft. I think it was down. Not getting that anymore. I might be swearing to the Target pillow. Went home, finally did the towels and got those out of the bathroom. Worked out, went to bed. Watched some Buffy and Angel too.

Now at work. We are going to the DC tomorrow and I get to try the 10,000 dollar chicken!

Saving Money

So, I know I keep saying this, but the one thing I love most about moving to a one bedroom is the fact that I realized that I have enough stuff as it is and don't even have enough room for anything else. So, I will be not shopping unless there is something I don't have that I need. I am saving money in general, but also for a new, pimped out phone when my contract is up in March. And, hopefully by then, I will have paid off a fat chunk of my credit card. Talking to a friend about the iphone...

Yesterday, finally got a haircut. I made fun of Mack since he got the talkative lady. He hates it when he has to talk. Then, got a migraine so watched Buffy and just hung out in bed. I am trying to just drink one soda to be healthier and cut back cost of soda. It adds up! I will buy drugs at Target on Sunday...

Today, going to see the movie 9! Then, wedding on Saturday. I'll be so tired!!!

Cute japanese Dog strikes again!

Making fun of Kate...funny!

This just reinforces the fact that ginger kids are evil:

Workin' it

Yesterday was busy. Right after work, I got stuff together to tutor and drove to West Sac. She could only stay until 6:15, but I was fine with that. Did a little spelling practice. Then, right after I got home, I did a workout and love the space I still have in the room. Then, went to Safeway to get food. Read a few pages of this romance novel that has a sexy cover and the first sentence is about sex and the next two pages are about sex too. That is what I like to see...hehe. Mack wanted to read the dirty part. He called me dirty.

Ooooh a co-worker gave me season 4 Buffy and season 1 Angel. Yay!

Scary...

Moving Hell

Everyone knows that moving is hard work. It was exhausting this time around...mostly because I couldn't control myself in buying more stuff. Now I realize that not much else can fit into this new apt, so I'll be very careful in spending. Also, good to save money!

Where I left off...Friday. After work, went to the ARC. Haven't been there in years! Just as good as I remember...just more tv screens and a few more machines. I basically went to bed early.

Saturday: I went to the new apt, got the keys (which turned out to be retarded later) and me and Mack got 3 or 4 car trips of stuff of all the stuff that fits into our cars. Went to Lamppost again, and that guy was working. I was very happy to get all that stuff out. We even got our bed! We planned out where to put the big stuff.

Sunday: Big moving day. I felt really tired and starting to get sick. Barely made it through...we did four van trips and got every thing out of there! Went to Redrum Burger and then passed out. I wanted to do more work, but my body was not having it.

Monday: Stayed in bed all day, bored and sick. Got nothing done.

Tuesday: Still sick most the day. Later in the afternoon felt better, took care of the storage place, got that all settled...there were two guys there, not the evil old people, so I was very happy! Went to Home Depot to get a good key copy, Ikea where we bought a coffee table, and evil Walmart that turned out very good since I got the other furniture that we needed. Put bathroom together and lamp and put all my clothes away. Good day of work and I was feeling a lot better. Yay!

Today: tutor session that I hope is still going on. Maybe try to put away more things...or relax.

Another reason why Walmart is evil:

Allergies...

Today is a bad day for allergies. Blah.

Yesterday was a good day. After work, I went to Lamppost and had the garden salad which was not only good, but on the happy hour menu. I saw my old boss! I forgot he lives in my new 'hood. We chatted for a little bit. Then, I went to the Internet cafe and read until around 6:30 so that it was cooler. I decided to do the bike loop. I almost made it without using my bike light. I felt good after that. I need to get rid of some fat!!! Been indulging too much and working out too little. Got to apt. and watched Sex and the City.

I'm going to the Arc after work. Been so long!!! Don't know what to do about dinner...maybe pick up something on the way back.

Can't wait for tomorrow!

So cute!

Can't get up dog

Laugh with Don

Grocery Store!!!

Yesterday was a very good day for a few things...

I left work early to go to the dentist. I am still doing good. :)

I went to Modern Nails in the West Lake plaza right across from my new apt and I chatted with the lady. Turns out that IGA a grocery store will be in there by November!!! I am so happy! She did a good job on my nails, so happy about that too. I went to Chuy's and got a burrito, wolfed it down since I was hungry. I checked out the video/cafe in the plaza and lo and behold, they have about 6 Dell computers with Internet for $2 for 2 hours!!! I was so happy! Plus, they have free wireless when I get a cute mini laptop...right? hehe I'm so tempted...

I wanted to check out that cafe by my co-workers, but they closed at 6! That is way early! The cafe new my new place is open until 10! Plus, the laundry place is open until 12...I wonder if they have Internet...I doubt it though. But still, if I wanted to do laundry late, that is awesome. They have Curves over there, but I think I'll belong to the country club. I'm so excited about that!

Just all around excited that it is that much closer to getting moving done. I can't wait to be done with the horrible rental people. Ughh!

I feel a little be skinnier today, so that is good. I am going to bike all over Davis as my workout and then maybe hit up that video/cafe again or just chill on campus.

Homeless Day 1

Yesterday, I left two hours early from work so that I had enough time to clean and clear out the apt. I biked to my co-worker's to drop off my bike. I had to walk past McDonald's and needed food, so I got food. I felt horrible and I was hoping food would help and caffeine. I took 4 ibuprofen and two allergy pills and more caffeine and staying in the dark as much as possible and all this made me feel ok, but not super great, so I'm thinking it was a migraine headache as well as caffeine withdrawal since I had none until McDonald's.

I took another car load of stuff to storage, cleaned the bathroom and vacuumed and cleaned the floors. I took the cleaning stuff to storage and it was filled to the very edge with stuff. Gonna be soooo fun taking that out! I'm guessing with out the big stuff that there are 10 two car trips waiting for us. That is more than twice as many trips as last moving time. The horror! This move has made me realize I don't need to shop anymore. I just need to lose about 10 pounds to fit every piece of clothing I have. Good motivation! Also, the clothes I can fit I have enough of, so I think I won't shop unless it is something I don't have and need, like something nice for a special occasion. So, I can save money and space but also instead of spending that time shopping, I can spend it working out or cooking a light meal. So, moving=horrible and stressful, but also moving=eye opener and change for the good.

After officially becoming homeless (dropping off the keys), I went to my co-worker's apt, relaxed a bit. It has been good so far. Just gotta get through this weekend and then I'll have a home again.

Last Day at Drake Apts.

Yesterday, tried to clean and pack, but mostly Mack did that. I was really tired. I fell asleep really early.

Today is the last day at Drake Apts. I will have to take the last of the stuff to storage and get everything out and clean the rest of the floors. Still need to change my address on some things...though I have some time with that since we are doing the forwarding thing. I will be staying at a friends house for four nights. yay for being a bum!!!
