One Year anniversery

Well, it's actually tomorrow, but since that is a weekend, I'll say that it has been a whole year since I interviewed with this job I have now! Isn't that crazy! It's been a whole year and it doesn't seem that long ago. It was a good day that year. After the interview, I went to the Winchester Mystery House.

Yesterday, I was all excited about going to Target and Mack was a downer. I didn't get a chance to look at clothes and makeup! How sad! But I'll be going alone so I can enjoy the shopping experience. Got a nice rice cooker/steamer, so I'm excited about that. Got a lot more things since we needed some food stuff. This Target being in Davis is very dangerous! At least the clothes and shoes are inexpensive! I told myself I don't need any more clothes, but I have been dressing up for work, and although I have some nice stuff, I don't have many shoes to go with it and accessories. Those things add up, but are good to have. I have been dressing nicely since Sunday. Yesterday, I got compliments so I like the attention. People treat you differently and they look at you when you dress up. My thing started when Lee and I went to church, so I decided to look a bit nicer. Then we went to Target and I found cute shoes, so I'm like, well, I have to dress nicely in order to wear these. So, on and on it goes.

Today, having a Halloween potluck, so I made pumpkin bread last night. I was surprised that Mack wanted to try it since he hates pumpkin. He said it smells good. I'll be making more.

Feeling fat due to all the candy around me.

Target

Yesterday, went to the gym, jogged more than walked this time. Not hard for me. I was starving and cold when I got home, so took a shower, and made awesome food. Had chicken sandwich, spicy! Cut up a lot of veggies because I was hungry, so brought it to work for lunch. Watched some Tales from the Crypt and wore my snuggie. Mack massaged me and I got really tired, so I went in bed at 8:30 and probably fell asleep soon afterward.

Made a list this morning of things to get at Target after work. Very excited about it. So bad. I've been there three times so far since Oct. 8th or so. I keep seeing something I want and they have some cute clothes and accessories. So, ya, I'm pretty screwed when it comes to saving money. Oh, my coworker just gave me a coupon that came in the mail just now! Yay! I need some things for making pumpkin bread tonight, so it's my excuse. Also, we are getting a rice cooker for all that rice we have. So, ya, that is my day, Target and baking. Good times.

Pink Lady

Yesterday, I told Mack I was gonna hang out on campus and read after work. He broke down and said he would go to a movie with me, like I wanted. We saw Where the Wild Things Are. I was warned it was not a kid movie, that it has darker/deeper meanings behind it. I liked how it was not cutesy like all those other movies, it was refreshing. I helped put in the food that he got from his parents. His mom has diabetes so all this food they just bought is now ours. I brought some stuff to work.

Went to the farmer's market and got pink lady apples. I love them so much!

I'll be walking/jogging today after work.

Windy!

Yesterday, went to the country club and worked out. Teenagers there was annoying! They probably thought I was in hs. grrrr. Because, they left right after some older adults came in. I thought I looked like a soccer mom when I wore work out clothes?...

Very tired. I fell asleep at 9. Mack came home in the middle of the night (ok ok, midnight) but that is late. Caught him naked about to take a shower. I had to use the bathroom. Good thing we are comfortable like and old married couple.

Saw an almost dead cricket in the shower this morning. Woke Mack up due to my scream and pounding it dead. He went back to bed.

Very windy today. Went outside a lot already, not really caring to fix my hair too much. Hyped up on tea. Love it!

Some guy from UC Davis is popular on Youtube:

KevJumba

Always need to have something to watch on youtube!

Going to hang out on campus and read.

Not too much else to tell...

Awsome Weekend!

Friday: went to Newsbeat after work. Got some puzzle games and a few mags, then felt a headache and went home. Read and watched tv.

Saturday: The big day! Got up, worked out, cleaned, parents came over, left early to help set up for my concert. Concert (yay, it was packed!), sold raffle tickets at intermission, went home tired. That day went by way too slowly. Happy to have to concert over with. Stayed up late.

Sunday: Slept in, got all nicely dressed to meet Lee for church at Davis Community Church. The service was ok, met a lady, but not really time to meet anyone. Lee and I went to Aquarius and asked about spiritual churches in town and found out there are two. We will be checking those out the coming weeks. Trying to see what fits for us. Went to Target. Spent a long time there and bought shoes and clothes. Went to Natomas, In n Out, Spirit, got a costume! Went to my place to do the Ouji board. Got this message,"Moley. Dead. Water. Lake." and also kept getting, "mama" like five times in a row. Watched some of Passengers. Met Syd at the movies to see Whip It. Was good, caught up a little. Had fun!

Been enjoying the bed to myself.

Today, dressed nicely again. Love my new boots. Love my new coffee/tea mug. Wondering how the heck I can fit this pants I'm in...thought I was really fat...Still will be working out a lot! Trying to eat more veggies and less fast food.

I love to Sing!

Yesterday, I needed to get dividers for my music, so I was like, "Oh, I guess I need to go to Target." Of course I was excited for an excuse to go there. I looked around the store, saw a few cute clothes, but didn't have time to try stuff on. Went to the book isles. Found a couple that I was dying to buy. Went to the school supply area. Saw a Dwight notebook that I just had to buy. Got the last one. The other ones were Michael. Not as good as Dwight.

Went to the concert's church for tech rehearsal. I had a lot of fun. I'm in front, but better than standing up on top of the scary bleacher thingies. I was getting into the songs. I messed up on a few areas, so I'll be practicing tonight and tomorrow. I was tired all day at work, but when I was in Target and practicing, I had a lot of energy. Sitting down makes me tired. Plus, it's boring.

There are picketers out front to do with the construction workers. I heard there are some police cars there now. I wonder what is going on.

I think Lee and I are going to Church this Sunday. I liked the people there, they love all people, not the scary Christians who say gays should burn in Hell or judge others. Jesus was about love, people!

Japanese Game Show Addict

Yesterday, got home, really hungry so I pigged out. Watched a few tv shows. Then launched into what I would not know at the time as Japanese Game Show Addiction time. I watched those shows on Youtube for about five hours. I had to stop myself at 11pm so I could get some sleep. I was really tired, too tired to feel like reading, which I would have prefered myself to do. I saw some good shows though.

Today I am tired. Going to tech rehersal tonight. Gotta get pumped up! At least it will not consist of expending too much energy...

Country Club Member

It's official. I am a snobby country club member. I went yesterday and was kinda disappointed in the gym. The cardio room was just ok. They did have a cool treadmill that seems easier on the knees, so that is cool. They have a weight room that is nice though. There are a lot of tennis courts, a lap pool, a swimming pool, and a baby pool, a nice lawn area, b ball court, soccer field, pool tables, ping pong table, bbq pits, paddle boats, and locker rooms. I am looking forward to the pool tables and picking up tennis perhaps. It's that expensive at all. $40 per apt., so $20 bucks for each of us. I like having a nice outdoor place to read, so when Spring comes, I'll probably be over there a lot. And the paddle boats! Can't wait. Might take up swimming again too. Hope I still have my cap and goggles.

Really tired after working out. Watched Vampire Diaries. Watched some of Leprecaun in the Hood. Cheesy.

Today, I plan on doing some walking/yoga and start writing again. Been way too long. Got some stories in mind and a few that I have left hanging. Things will finally slow down after Halloween (not too confident on that though...). More like things are more up in the air due to what our chorus will have schedualed for events and where my craziness will take me. I have spurts of energy and I am on the low side of energy right now. Summer was really crazy and now I need to focus on relaxing (riiight) and new goals.

Goals:

Train for the Davis Stampede in February
Write more for my stories
Research for my volunteer job
Read an insane amount of stuff
Develop website making skills

and I'm sure more to come

Seems like a lot of stuff I do, but I always feel bored.

Japanese Game Shows

Yesterday, went to chorus. Had fun, but feeling the pressure of this weekend's concert. Can't wait til it's over, honestly. I like singing for fun mostly, so I guess I need to get used to performing. When I got back, Mackenzie and I watched Japanese Game Shows. This one that they couldn't laugh was harsh, they shot blow darts in their butts. This one show was in a hospital and it was pitch black and there was weird sounds and creepy people. These shows are great. Can't get enough. Oh and there is an MRI one that is freaky!

Today, I hope I finally join the country club right next door. I want to use their gym to train for the Davis Stampede. I need a goal and something to look forward to. Might work up to Team in Training sometime...

Here is the MRI game show:

MRI Japanese Show

Good Weekend

Friday: went home, worked out, Mackenzie was sleeping, watched tv, went to bed.

Saturday: went to the Farmer's Market. Got apples, apple juice, almonds, tomatoes, and pita bread. Went to Safeway. Made awesome chicken pitas. Went to Fremont to meet up with friends to go to Claim Jumper and Pirates of Emerson. Those haunted houses made me scream. One part was funny, this guy was chasing me and I tried to open the door and Mackenzie had me push it instead. Just like in a horror film. Another place there was fog and you couldn't see anything. Very good time.

Sunday: slept in, watched Elvira: mistress of the dark. It was funny. Went to see Zombieland. Hilarious, very good. I loved how they went to Bill Murray's house. That guy does make Tom Cruise a B-lister. This was funny. After the movie, I told Mackenzie I needed to get gas. I needed to get a scarf for the concert. But, how this was said, makes it funny. I said, I need to get gas, might as well go to Target. Mackenzie was making fun of me for being like Stan's dad in that Walmart episode: "oh, shoot. a broken glass. guess I have to go to Walmart". I went there just for a scarf. I came back with two scarves, a ear hat, a necklace, a waterbottle, a coffee mug, a beginner's yoga pack, yoga socks, and a brain games booklet. All this for over a hundred bucks! Opps! I went for ONE item. Target is evil! Well, I've wanted to get yoga stuff, but still. Worked out, did my yoga. It's good. The guy is wearing a speedo and is buff.

At work today: my coworker showed me this:

Toasty Wrap

This is exactly the same as the snuggie! Same infomercial! Crazy...I wonder why they did this??? It boggles my mind!

Mackenzie and I as dogs:

Me as a Bloodhound

Reasons: I'm lazy, old. Don't want to be bugged and I drool.


Mack as a French Bulldog

Reasons: Obvious food eyes and playful demeanor, seeking attention all the time.

Pizza Madness

Wed after work: was tired, rested, watched tv, read.

Yesterday: Called in sick. Slept forever. Read a book, watched tv. Took a shower late in the day. Ordered pizza and watched Bad Taste, which was pretty bad. One of the guys looks like Heath Ledger. Same area...The movie was pretty bad. I liked the cardboard cutout of the Beatles in the car though. Feeling better at night, so Mackenzie and I went through this list of Internet Sensations, and I didn't see a few of them. Some were ok, but I am amazed and ashamed I have not even seen this one before:

Tom Cruise Kills Oprah

I have to add that this video makes me laugh like crazy and I can't breathe. It's that good.

yay! Internet Sensation:

Dog's Own Enemy

I love tea!

Yesterday, went home early. I got a ride from a co-worker to my car since it was insane outside. Crazy storm! At least my power didn't go out. Did my kettle ball workout. It doesn't seem like a hard but my legs are a bit sore and I was sweating like crazy. Watched some tv, read some, then watched Saw V right right before I went to bed. I guess nothing fazes me. Saw VI is coming to theaters soon. We just get it from Netflix.

I had a dream that I woke up and was grumpy. Then I woke up and was grumpy. haha. I told Mackenzie that I am going to do the same thing with KFC with other fast food places, go there once a year. Now, I will try to stagger it, but the places I tend to go to are: KFC, Taco Bell, and McDonalds. But this includes all fast food. I can only enjoy it rarely. I am trying to cut back my pizza intake. Perhaps once every few months on that. I've been really good so far. I'm mostly a snacker anyway.

So, I'm loving my Irish Breakfast Tea in the morning. I have Jasmine Green Tea at work after lunch. I take mine without anything added. I want to try other teas, so I might ask for some varieties for birthday/Christmas.

Yay for Internet sensation:

She Wolf Shakira Video

He Wolf

Nerds Unite!

Yesterday, I had my chorus practice. During break, I talked with a girl around my age and she was saying how she loves reading, is a nerd. I said I was a nerd too. Good to know your people! It was a fun practice. I was getting into it and I know the music pretty well.

Today, it's raining like crazy! Very windy too. I'm glad though. I hope it rains a lot this Winter!

Not much happening in the news recently. Kinda slow after that crazy summer we had with all those celebrity deaths and interesting Youtube videos. I don't want anything bad to happen, I just want something interesting to read about, like in livescience or something. Maybe a big discovery like that one about early humans and why they started to walk on two legs. That blew my mind and the whole world seemed to make sense.

I've been starting to make a wish list for the holidays. I need to do this to not buy so much now...just need to wait a few months.

Apples and Crowds

This weekend was good, but I had too much of the crowds.

Friday: went to the library book sale. I was good and restrained myself. Got five or six books and Mack got two. Went to the new Davis Target! So, the layout of the store is different from Woodland and Vacaville. You enter on the right side and the clothes are the first things, but on the right. Then electronics and books. Then the grocery part. I was very excited about the low prices and pumpkin. However, I was disappointed about the fact that there was no produce. I only saw bananas. Lame! No deli either, though they do have a Pizza Hut and Star Bucks. Ate and watched tv and went to bed.

Saturday: Started the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice. Very good! He has good food eyes. Went to Apple Hill. I could not believe how freakin' crowded it was! We took the shuttle and what would have been no more than a ten minute ride to the destination we wanted, was an hour long due to all traffic! It was crazy! I was super hungry when we got there, and waited about 20 min for not that great of food. Had apple beer and apple milkshake. Also waited in line for more than 30 min. for two donuts. They were good, but people were buying them by the dozen, so that is why it took so long. Bought apple butter and have yet to try that. Glad to get home, finished my Pride and Prejudice and went to bed.

Sunday: Woke up early to go to tea in Benicia for my book club. It was fun, though only four of us people the flu and cold season apparently started already. I tried Jasmine Green Tea and loved it. I was hungry still and needed real food, so went to Mickey D's to tide me over. That was funny. Had to class it up with McDonalds... Went to the Fairfield mall, got my black pants and black shirt for the concert. Got a free t-shirt at Old Navy. Went to Barnes and Noble and bought the cookie murder book and an Alfred Hitchcock book of tales of terror. So far, not very terrifying, more like suspensful and mystery like. There was another volume at the store that was the mystery one, so I might have to get that as well, since I am loving these short stories. Went to Trader Joe's and bought Irish Breakfast tea and Jasmine Green tea and sweet potato chips which I can't wait to try. Went to target for a few random things and was tired, so went home. Watched Sling Blade, love french fried pertaters!

Drank three cups of tea, and very awake, but yet somehow tired still...

Southpark Funny

This title is kinda like the website, Engrish Funny which I love.

Yesterday, I watched The Secret Life of Bees, the new Southpark episode, and Frozen River. Secret Life was really good. The Southpark episode makes fun of all the celebrity deaths over this summer. Haha, it was pretty good. Frozen River was very good and Mackenzie told me I was closing my eyes for a little bit, but I wasn't sleepy and really wanted to see what happens in the movie. I was really sore and tired and still am today.

I will be hitting up the library book sale and going to the new Target! Yay!!! It was supposed to open on the 11th, but they are open now for the last few days. Mackenzie made fun of me saying I'd be like Stan's dad in Southpark and give any excuse to go to Target, like "oh darn, we broke a glass. Guess I have to go to Target." I still love that episode. I quote it all the time.

Sore and Tired

Yesterday, worked out, made dinner, and watched Coraline. Good movie. Basically went to bed after that. Seems like I have no time still. I would like another hour at least, but if I go to bed that late, I'll be really tired. I'm already tired right now as it is.

The Daviswiki says that the Target is already open. It's ok, I'll just wait until later to check it out. Doubt I'll be going there much, unless I'm coming from Sac, due to it's being really far away and not next to any other shops, except for the library.

Ouch:

Policeman Fail

This explains why Seth Green had rant?

Seth Green Mugged

Reading Frenzy

Yesterday, I read for hours Pride & Prejudice. It is really good! I worked out too. Can feel the soreness already. Fitting in my skinnier Levis'. Not eating fast food and avoiding cheese is working well for me.

Today, another reading frenzy in hopes of finishing the book and moving onto the next one I need to read asap.

Tired and cold today.

This is an excellent article. We are still doing it today, food for sex. (dating-food and sex).

Food For Sex

Am I really this skinny?

So, this morning, I'm putting on jeans. My Levis that fit if I am on the skinny side. I pull them up and I have room to put them over my fat (damn stomache). So, I'm going to double check the tag on the back, because if I can fit these this easily, then I'm skinny :) I'm shocked because I feel that I've always been eating, I'm always hungry. Maybe all that coloring works up an appetite. ;) And The Firm tapes really help too...

Yesterday, tired. Went to chorus. Tired. Enjoyed singing after a while, but was...tired. Went to the bookstore during work. Got Bliss, can't wait to read it.

Gonna read like a crazy person today after working out.

Coloring Frenzy

I had a good weekend.

Friday: went to the Dollar Store right after work. Found some awesome Halloween decorations. Found a Halloween cd. Bought a Halloween coloring book (yes, I'm a kid). Was a good day at the Dollar Store. Went to Safeway and made an awesome breaded chicken and potato dinner. Colored and watched tv.

Saturday: went to the Beer and Wine Festival in Yuba City. The drive is kinda long and only one lane for most of the time. Out in the middle of nowhere. Mackenzie was very tired. Got there kinda early. Walked around the main street, which was not long at all. Only a few shops interesting enough to look in. Started to drink right at 1pm. I had three beers and felt drunk. There was this one building with nothing in it, so with all the people inside, it felt like a party. You could hear the place get louder and louder. We went to lunch at this soda diner, with awesome shiny, yellow booths and chairs. Cheeseburger was ok, but if I weren't so drunk/hungry, I would have been dissappointed. Stayed a few hours. Back home, tired, and I colored a lot while watching tv.

Sunday: Slept in, watched tv, worked out to National Lampoon's European Vacation...old! Went to the bank/Nugget. Made pumpkin bread. Made steak with awesome cheese sause. Walked, colored more, watched tv. Was tired.

Very tired today. Oh, in spirit of Christian Bale:

Seth Green Flips Out

Beer +Halloween=October

Today when I got to work, peoples were putting up Halloween decorations, so I joined in. We have blinking skeletons near me now :) Mackenzie and I are going to Yuba City to taste different beers Saturday. :) If we have energy, going to Apple Hill. If not, I think I will be going to Target, decorating, and making dinner and another round of pumpkin bread.

Yesterday, I was really tired. Lee came over to my work to give us our rafting pictures. Had a party at work and was really tired after that. Got home, didn't want to do anything, so watched I love you man. It was good.

Want to make dinner tonight. Something awesome, perhaps with potatoes...

Airport is kinda like Walmart

Yesterday, went to the new library. It is huge! Has a warehouse feel. Worked out to the Firm, old school with the sculpting stick. Watched some tv. Made nachos without cheese and with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions with hot sauce. It was pretty good! This is how I will get my veggies...that and lettuce wraps. Picked up Mack at the airport. I had to turn around twice due to crappy construction to get to the parking. Saw some people who look like they do when they go to Walmart. It was entertaining. Saw pj's, cheesy t-shirts (Cats musical one), a lot of pregnant women, army fatigue, and some interesting hair styles. At least I had something fun to look at while waiting. Got back late, I was getting scary. Mack is happy to be home.

I received my first Avon purchase yesterday! I got foot stuff, makeup thingy, and a salad/soup container thing. I'm trying out the salad one today. Like the stuff I've tried so far.

Can't believe it is already October! But I am happy with this Fall weather. Tired.

This is really cool:
