5 days till the New Kids!

  • What's up, yo? It's yo homie G Lisa checkin for ya. My weekend was cool. Friday I worked at Traffic, then came home and relaxed for the rest of my evening. It was very enjoyable, and well deserved.
  • Saturday I worked in San Fran, then picked up Michelle and went to the Dollar Store. They have great Halloween stuff there and I wanted to check it out. While I was there Fernando called and we met him at the new In-and-Out on Lewelling/Hesperian there in San Lorenzo. I love yummy no salt added cheeseburgers and fries with no salt. Yeah I try to watch my sodium, can you tell? So after that I could have gone on a walk to the duck pond with Fern, Grace and Joey but Michelle needed to buy stuff for Dad's bday this week. So we opted on going to Newpark Mall to do some shopping instead. I'm very proud to announce that I didn't buy a lot of crap. Just a card for Dad's bday, a few Xmas gifts for people and more Halloween stuff. I like Halloween. Haha. Later on I just went home and relaxed, watched TV/movies and went to sleep around midnight.
  • Sunday I woke up around 10:30am (yes I got over 10 hours of sleep, I never get to sleep in!). I made myself some organic pancakes with sugarfree syrup, took a shower and made myself go to the gym. That was my only chance to hit the gym all week, so I took it. (By the way, is it me or is it uncomfortable when nearly naked strangers of the same sex give you a compliment? In the locker room some chick in a towel told me I smelled great. LMAO) This week is going to be a doozy, schedule-wise. Then I picked up Michelle and Dad and we headed over to Porky's Pizza for a surprise bday party for my cousin Kim. It was pretty fun and the pizza was yummy. The cake was good but the frosting was WAY sweet. I prefer whipped cream frosting myself. Still tasty though. So then I took the gang to Starbucks, dropped them off at home and finally got home myself. Then I made dinner then watched Alice In Wonderland and Taking Lives with Cathy. The classic Disney cartoon was pretty cool, but the second movie just wasn't my thing. I'm not into serial killers, car chases and violence. Not much anyway. I mean Ethan Hawke is hot but c'mon now. So after that was the series premiere of Easy Money on the CW. I only watched this since my 80s movie boyfriend Judge Reinhold is in it. Minor part, but still cute. Overall the show is okay. I might even watch it if he wasn't in it. So yeah, and now I'm at work, trying to keep my eyes open.
  • So like I mentioned before, this week is going to be even crazier than normal. Today I'm working at Traffic and here, Tuesday is Traffic, grocery shopping and here, Wednesday morning Dad has an appointment at the DMV to renew his license or ID or whatever then I have to work at Traffic in the afternoon, and work here later that evening (Even though I tried to get someone to cover for me and of course no one could so I'll be way sleep deprived on Thursday). Thursday morning Cathy's giving me a ride to Milbrae to pick up the van from Wheelchair Express for Kimmie, then I'm driving from there to Lodi to pick up her and her sister Carol. Then Carol is driving us to Sonora to visit their aunt/uncle. Then we're driving all the way from there to San Jose (2 1/2 hrs) since we're spending two nights there for the New Kids concert as a mini-vacation. By the time we get to our hotel, if I don't get some kind of nap my head will explode. Not pretty. Friday we're pretty much loitering around the downtown San Jose area, and then we are doing the whole backstage meet/greet thing a few hours before the concert, then the concert itself, then back to the hotel for our own afterparty. Booze and 80s board games! Saturday I'll take them on a tour of my neck of the woods, then a little shopping, then back to Lodi they go. Then I gotta return the van to Milbrae early in the evening. Also, Saturday is Dad's bday so I have to go pick him up and take him to my house for cake and presents. So yeah, my week is BUSY.
  • Okay, I'll blog one more time before the trip. I think I'll take a half snooze until about 5amish. Hee hee.
