I now have a baby ball python! :)

Not sure if it's male or female since you pretty much need a veterinarian to check it out, but since my house is full of boys already I told Chris we were going to say it's female...hehe.

We're still trying to think of a name for "her" :P

Any suggestions?

Woot!

2008-06-14T00:26:30Z

So week number 7 on Weightwatchers and I'm down another 5.6lbs! Go me! hehe

Other than that...not too much going on. Right now I'm just sitting at home with my family and drinking a beer...yum.

Going to brunch for Father's Day, then to Chris's folk's house, then to a movie and dinner. It will be a full day!

And Alex is growing up so fast...it's amazing. He just started really grabbing at stuff with his hands a couple days ago, and now he won't stop! hehe My god he's cute...and those little sticky hands are getting dangerous!

Damn...

2008-06-06T00:00:45Z

Well...when I woke up this morning to go to work, the last thing I was expecting when I walked in the door was to hear that a coworker had died the night before. That hit me like a ton of bricks.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/06/05/BA7U1141N5.DTL&hw=graniterock&sn=001&sc=1000

I guess you just really don't think how dangerous construction work really is until something like this happens close to you. I didn't know the guy very well, but I've worked and talked with his wife several times. They were really close, and they had three kids together. I just can't imagine what they must be going through...

But even worse...I can't imagine what the guy who turned on the machinery is going through...

Needless to say, I wasn't at work very long today. We had a grief conselour talk to us for a few hours, and then I did what I had to do and went home.

I have a serious headache...

Woot!

2008-05-18T15:59:33Z

Shelly sent me this icon...I think I like it. I needed something different anyway! hehe

I haven't played that game in quite awhile...I should fix that soon...

Just hanging out with Chris and Alex right now--my parents should be over soon to visit the baby. Then later this afternoon/evening we're going to go see Rent while Janette watches little Alex.

Other than that, there's not too much going on--I've just been working a lot as usual. Ahh well, least I'll get some good overtime on this next paycheck.

Oh...and this kind of makes me laugh...Avery is engaged! (again...) And to a 40 year old woman this time (who also lives at home with her parents...what a keeper!)

Moo!

2008-04-26T23:37:57Z

Alright...so once again it's been ages since I last updated. I'd apologize, but I really doubt that anyone keeps up with this anymore anyway...hehe.

Anyway, I've been back to work now for a little over a month and so far it's been ok. My first day back was extremely hard. I honestly wish that I could be a stay-at-home mom, but that just isn't practical right now. I'm the one with the good paying job, and the one with the health insurance--both extremely important. i just hope that *someday* I'll be able to stay at home with my kid and make Chris go out and do all the work...hehe. At least he can stay home with Alex right now. It makes me feel much better than trying to find child care (not to mention we can't afford it).

Chris and I have been doing pretty well considering we've only been together for a little over a year and have a 3 month old baby. We've been fighting quite a bit more, but that's probably due to the lack of sleep, and the stress of a new situation. All in all I think we're doing pretty damn well. However, I think I am going to be starting up therapy again next week. There's things I need to talk about to someone, and I don't really have friends I can talk to anymore. I need a neutral party to try and help me work out some issues (both my own and in my relationship).

Overall though I'd say I'm doing great! I LOVE being a mother and I don't know what I'd do without Alex. He's brought so much joy to my life, and even though it's been hard at times I wouldn't change it for the world.

METALLICA!

It's Official!

2007-01-21T00:39:14Z

To everyone out there in LJ land.....I'm engaged :)

Worky type stuff

2006-12-07T00:57:08Z

So yes...I think by now all of you know that I got a new job, however I didn't really clarify *what* I do. My position is called a Weighmaster, which amuses me. I work for Graniterock, which is a construction company--they make and work with concrete, asphalt, aggregates. I work at one of their asphalt plants in South San Francisco, and I now know more about asphalt than I ever thought I would (which is a scary thought considering I never found asphalt to be all that exciting of a subject). The guys I work with are awesome though, if a little crazy.

But yea...I thought that getting one job would mean that I would have more free time since I wouldn't be working as many hours. Wrong. I work just as much, if not more some weeks, than I did when working two jobs. However, and this is the good part, I GET OVERTIME! Hell yes! And I work at least an hour overtime every day. It definitely adds up. I'm making almost 3 times as much as I was making at Starbucks. I love it.

Other than having no free time, I'm doing great. I was kind of hoping that with this new job I'd be able to go back to school, but if I continue having to work this many hours I really don't know how that's going to be possible.

Now I'm off to play NWN2....it makes me happy.

Moo?

2006-09-24T02:55:35Z

Wow...I actually have an internet connection at the apartment again...imagine that..lol. Anyway, as of a week and a half ago, I am Starbucks free! Yes, I finally got a new job. Ahh...it's so wonderful. I am a Weighmaster! LOL...sorry..little tired. I had to go to work at 5:30AM, and I work up in South San Francisco, so I have quite a drive in the morning to get to work. However, they are paying me $17.20 an hour, so I can't complain too much. And today I got time and a half because I don't normally work on Saturdays (I don't mind being paid $25.80 and hour to read my book).

So I'm doing well. Actually I've been doing well. It's hard to remember what I was like even two years ago--I'm just glad that it's over and done with. I'm happy now...it's nice for a change.

However, I do miss my friends. I never really hang out with anyone anymore, and all of the people I used to consider good friends are gone from my life. It's kind of sad..but I guess that's just how it has to be.

I'm still alive....

2006-05-02T21:11:19Z

...and I haven't had a cigarette in 8 days. Yes...I'm finally quitting. I've been smoking for almost 3 years now, and my lungs are definitely starting to feel it. It's hard, but I'm surviving :P

Anyway...I still work A LOT...like 55 hours a week or more...yay! Starfucks sucks and so does our new manager. She's on a power trip or something--thinks her way is the only way. I hate her...I hate everything about her. She asks your opinion, and then she just ignores you--stating some bull shit excuse (because she can never be wrong).

But I'm sure none of you out there care about my life at Starfucks...heh.

Just wish me luck!

Ica

MWAHAHAHAHA!

2006-01-23T18:03:10Z

I just found out the other day that our new apartment is about two minutes away from Su's Mongolian BBQ...fuck yes!

Boredom :P

2005-09-25T05:25:48Z

1. Reply with your name and I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST. It is written.

Let's see if anyone actually posts here now :P

And I'm sick...can anyone fix me?

Anyone miss me? :P

2005-08-24T23:30:09Z

Yea...I know I rarely ever post in this thing anymore, but I do still read it....strangely enough. Writing just seems to take way more effort than it used to, plus my free time is somewhat limited by my two jobs...hehe.

Anyway...for those of you who don't know, I went to Oregon for the weekend. It was pretty fun. I got to show Avery my grandma's house up on top of the hill, and we kind of just hung out and played games...probably not the most exciting things, but at least it was relaxing. I had a good time. However, on the way back home my truck broke down. I thought we had gotten a flat tire, but when we pulled over, we couldn't see any flat tires....that's when we noticed the front driver side wheel was at a weird angle. After talking to my dad for suggestions (and asking for money..lol) a police officer showed up and called a tow truck for us. Then, after waiting for a couple hours, the tow truck finally came and took us to the nearest place where they could fix it--which was only about 30 miles away! When they propped my car up in a corner, the tire nearly fell off. Apparently the top part of the suspension joint on the left side had completely popped off, so my wheel was hanging parallel to the ground...yay! Since they couldn't fix it until early the next day, we got an extra day of vacation.....in Arcata.....a little shit-splat town in the middle of fucking nowhere...hehe.

But we made it back in one piece, and so did my car. And strangely enough, there's currently a kitten in my bathroom....but that's another story :P

KITTIES!!!!

POOOOOOOOOPGUAAAAAAAARD!!!!!

2005-05-27T03:57:56Z

Anyway...the past few days have been interesting, though I wish I could have gotten more sleep. Waking up at 4-fucking-thirty to go open at Starfucks sucks butt. I tok a shift over at Stanford Mall...least it's not as busy as my shop in the morning...bleh. Pretty much right after that I got to go over to my job at Erik's Deli. It's a pretty easy job...only busy for like 1-2 hours around lunch...so no problem. But man...I was fucking beat (after 8 hours of work, I believe that's justified)...heh.

But I came home...was kind of cranky and tired for awhile, and then passed out on the bed for like 45 minutes. I actually woke up kind of refreshed...yay for powernaps...apparently they work (at least today).

Was going to hang out with Isa today, but I never got a hold of her...so yea..obviously that didn't happen. Oh well...hopefully sometime soon...I miss her. Avery and I did decide to have Robbie over for dinner though. Still waiting for our carne asada tacos. Mmm...Robbie found a pretty cool recipe online, so that's what we're trying. We also have corn with a chili-lime butter rub...yum. I like food.

And is it sad that I was actually happy about gas being $2.43 yesterday? God that's so sad...

I missed Homestar :)

2005-05-06T05:41:19Z

Went and saw "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy tonight with Avery and Pete. I enjoyed it...glad I convinced Pete to come and see it with us too...yay.

Anyway...Avery lost his job yesterday...certainly makes things interesting. Aparently his boss just realized that they ran out of money in the account they were paying him out of...and they didn't give him any warning...yay...fun stuff. Ah well...things will work out somehow.

And it's strange...I've been away from the internet for so long that now it's hard for me to find things to do online. Heh...maybe that's a good thing :P...of course Pete said he'd let me use his extra FFXI account...lol...maybe I'll get stuck on that again.

*slurp*

After six months, I finally have internet again...

2005-05-02T01:28:08Z

Mwahahaha! I'm back...yay! Finally got the cable working at the apartment, so now I can spend endless hours on my computer again...heh. I think that's a good thing :P

For those of you who haven't heard from me recently, I'm still living in a studio apartment in East Palo Alto, still working at Starbucks' evil empire, etc. Not much has really changed. Most of my days tend to blur together.

Anyway...I lost all my AIM contacts, so message me with your screen names bitches :P

You are the Devil card. The Devil is based on the
figure Pan, Lord of the Dance. The earthy
physicality of the devil breeds lust. The
devil's call to return to primal instincts
often creates conflict in a society in which
many of these instincts must be kept under
control. Challenges posed by our physical
bodies can be overcome by strength in the
mental, emotional, and spiritual realms. Pan is
also a symbol of enjoyment and rules our
material creativity. The devil knows physical
pleasure and how to manipulate the physical
world. Material creativity finds its output in
such things as dance, pottery, gardening, and
sex. The self-actualized person is able to
accept the sensuality and usefulness of the
devil's gifts while remaining in control of any
darker urges. Image from The Stone Tarot deck.

Take the quiz: "What do you love about making love?"

Intimacy
You love to be intimate with someone. You know every inch of them, you're big on touching and any kind of body contact especially cuddling though you need to feel comfortable with someone.

2004-05-07T08:34:18Z

Well let's see...I skipped class today. Hell, I didn't even get out of bed until about 2 PM..it rocked. But yea..today I didn't really do much. Went to the dining hall with my roomate, got my car, got my mom a Mother's Day present, then went to Isa's and hung out there for awhile. And OMFG...I am the most paranoid person when I drive home at night...it's so fucking weird. I don't even know how to explain it, plus you people would prolly think I was insane. But god damn...

I still have no fucking clue about what to do regarding Mike and Carla. I'd ask people for advice, but uhh..I don't think anyone would have any advice for me because no one else I know has been in this situation before. Whatever..I'll figure it out.

Haha...you know what else? This is really funny. I might be working at Girl Scout camp this summer..lol :D. But hey..apparently they make good money: free room and board along with $300 a week from June 11th to August 20th sounds damn good to me. Plus they allow smoking, and the counselors have parties a lot :D. Lindsay said that there isn't even that much work involved, and apparently they are actually doing cool stuff like horseback riding, archery, backpacking, canoeing, etc. What the hell?? We never did that stuff in my troop >_<

But yea..that's about allt hat's been going on lately..I think. I think there was something I was going to write about yesterday, but I forgot what it was. Oh well...hopefully I'll get the job. Lindsay says I'm pretty much guaranteed to though..woo!
