SWC here we come!

• Hey folks. I'm so excited! 24 hours from now I'll be at Spirit West Coast in Monterey. I may be doing overnight security exactly 24 hours from now, actually. Or I may be asleep. Who knows? I'm so juiced. I'll not be very close to many charging sources for my phone, so I'm not going to be texting/twittering much at all. Also, please no calls unless absolutely necessary. If ya leave a message I'll try to get back if I can. I just know my phone sucks A LOT of juice and I'll need it when I do security. I'll turn it off when I'm asleep.
  
• So yeah that's about it. I'll keep a diary of what's going on so I can write a megablog on Sunday night. My boss wants me to write him a report on what I learned, since he's filling in for me on half a shift here at work. Haha. I have a feeling it's because he thinks I've fallen off the wagon somehow and this is a fun Christian bootcamp that will whip me into shape. Oh the joy. Well, wish me luck and hope I don't get sunburned. Thank God for SPF 85!!
  

Craziness and fun

• What's up homies? Not much here. Back from a fun and awesome weekend. Cathy and I headed to Fresno around 6am on Friday, and arrived just before 9am, after a brief stop at Savemart for some baking supplies. Then while I was snoozing on Amy's mom's bed, Cathy baked a whole lot of her backyard bug cakes and peanut butter brownies. I got up and showered in the mid afternoon since Amy's sister Niesha was expecting tons of people to show up for her bday party. Unfortunately a lot of them flaked. I think Amy was more pissed since she spent a ton of money on the party, mostly on pizza. We made the best of it though. Later on in the evening we played in a nearby park for an hour or so, and ran in the sprinklers. Did I mention it was about 100 degrees? Yeah a little hot there, in case you didn't know. Once we got back to the house we horsed around, then went for a walk to the store for cold drinks, and the younger girls kept pantsing us while walking down the street. LMAO. We also did some pole dancing on the stripper pole in Amy's room, it was awesome.
  
• On Saturday we headed up to Shaver Lake, about an hour away. That place is so beautiful. I loved wading in the water, and just unwinding. Then we came back to the house and I watched Pet Semetary II with Amy's mom while the others took a nap. Later on we went to Farmerboys for dinner, and rented some movies nearby. It was a great ending to a great day.
  
• Sunday I caught up on sleep, and once I was up, ready and packed then Cathy and I left. We made it back by 2pm, with a stop in Livingston to pee and pick up lunch. I'd say it was a great two days. Once I got back I caught up on housework, went for my 2 mile walk and tried to take a nap in my room. I just couldn't fall asleep. Might have been the three cats on my bed, or all the people congregating in our living room. Sometimes it sucks having roommates. Oh well, I know I'll sleep well later this morning.
  
• This rest of this week will be superhectic. Working both jobs later today, and grocery shopping in the evening. Tight squeeze on time, but it's the only time I can do it. I'm also working both jobs on Tuesday, and packing that evening as well. We're leaving for Spirit West Coast on Wednesday afternoon. Least I can sleep, that's a plus. We'll be in Monterey from Wednesday evening to Sunday morning. Talk about crazy. I don't know how long my phone will last or how many pictures I'll take, but I'm sure gonna try to cover a lot of ground. Don't expect any texts/twitters from me until Sunday afternoon, mmmkay? I'm bringing a notebook as a diary so I can journal my daily happenings for a megablog on that Sunday night. Whoo I can't wait!!
  

fun times ahead

• Hey hey hey! What's up folks! Yay it's the weekend! I'm excited since I'm leaving for Fresno in about 5 hours. I'm getting off from work a few hours early, grabbing a few things at home, then Cathy and I are taking off. Three fun filled and hot days chaparoning a teenage birthday party and just plain relaxing. Plus it's a change of pace, and I like that.
  
• Nothing exciting going on in Lisaville. Been trying to be good foodwise. Really hard especially with a batch of fudge literally in my face for a few hours earlier tonight. My will power prevailed. I love fudge, but I know it'll spike my blood sugar and just make me even hungrier later. I have some sugarfree 40 cal chocolate fudgesicles that do the trick instead. This weekend I'll probably be bad since I'll be at a party, plus I want to try Chick-Fil-A if I can. They don't have those around here. Oh well. Least I walked a few miles earlier today.
  
• And yes, next week is Spirit West Coast. I am excited about that as well. Camping for five days while watching kickass Christian bands, oh yeah! Okay now I'm going to eat a banana and keep busy for 4 more hours or so. Whoooo.
  

Random irritations

• Word up homie G's. How's everyone doing? I'm doing pretty okay. The last few days haven't been too exciting. Working both jobs, getting about 5-6 hours of sleep. Monday evening I had dinner with Sandi at Mimi's Cafe. Yummy as always. Had to make some plans for our camping trip at Spirit West Coast week after next. Wooot wooot. See Sandi, I am excited. Tuesday evening I stayed home, did a little housework, made dinner and relaxed for once.
• I've had a few annoyances the last day or so, but if you've been following my Twitter or Facebook then you'd know. First of all the other day the IT people downstairs put in a new firewall, and the security settings were way insane. Blocking Myspace because it was an adult site? I don't think so. So I complained, so did Victoria and Shannon. That helped, and they brought it down a few notches, thank God. Other nuisance has been my older sister once again calling me when she knows I'm asleep/in the shower/getting ready for work to tell me non emergency information. Yes I'm glad you talked to Fernando at Pac N Save but can't you call me after 3 when I'm settled in at work, and not when I'm trying to get a few more min of sleep before my alarm goes off? Sheesh. It's like I know she spends a lot of time with Dad, but she goes out all the time on errands, and goes places with her boyfriend. I need my time to myself when I'm working 13 hr days.
  
• Anyway enough venting for now. I'm excited about my weekend though. Gonna roast my ass off in Fresno. Praise God for air conditioning.
  

More fun yet to come

• Word up homies. How's everyone's weekend been? I had a great one. Friday morning I went to breakfast with Michelle at Elio's. I had a yummy omelet, fruit and toast. Later on that evening I slept in, exercised, and stayed home for the evening. Michelle wanted to go out again, but I needed some "me" time.
  
• Saturday I had a nice big breakfast, worked out, then took Dad to the fair. It was 100 degrees and I was sweating like a pig. Dad didn't do so bad, and I tried to keep him hydrated. We saw all the exhibits, the animals, ate some food. I think the worst part of it was walking back to the car, I thought I was going to die from heat exhaustion. Once we got some nice cold drinks, we both felt a lot better. Later on in the evening I took another shower and got ready for a night in San Fran with some friends. Davina, Lorie, Tanya and I all hit up the Cat Club for Michael Jackson night. There were all kinds of people there, and it was so much fun. I think Davina and I had a little too much fun dancing in the cages, but oh well. We were there sweating our faces off for about 4 hours, then went to Mel's Diner for malts and fries. Yeah so healthy, but I think we deserved it.
  
• Sunday I didn't sleep as much as I wanted to. I woke up and my whole body was sore from all that dancing. I did make it in to church as I promised Davina, and it was cool. Later on I came home, made lunch, went walking, and spent the afternoon napping and watching TV. A perfect ending to a nice weekend. Oh yeah, our fridge is taking a crap so a lot of our food went bad, and we should be acquiring a new one in the next day or two. It sucks.
  
• I'm glad I caught up on rest, because the next few weekends are gonna be interesting. This upcoming one I'll be in Fresno visiting Amy and chaperoning a bunch of 14 year olds at a birthday party. What an experience that should be. Then the following Wednesday through Sunday I'll be in Salinas at Spirit West Coast, camping, volunteering and attending awesome Christian concerts. Although there are showers nearby, I know I'll be uber funky by the time I get home that Sunday afternoon. Oooohwheeee. Oh well it'll still be fun.
  

exercise!

• What's happening folks? It's Fridaaaaay. I'm excited. This weekend should be pretty awesome. I hope so anyway. I'm taking my dad to the county fair on Saturday, then going out in San Fran on Saturday night. Sunday I hope to kick back and rest. I sure need it.
  
• The last few days have been pretty normal. Working a lot. I did get to exercise today which is awesome. I'm planning on walking again this evening, and on Saturday/Sunday. Gotta get that sexy body in shape.
  
• Ugh well I'm really tired. Only slept 6 hrs today, had to take Dad to the pulmonologist for a check-up. I'll catch up on sleep later this morning, I'm sure. Okay, back to helping out David with his knowledge of Slim Goodbody. Haha.
  

short and boring

• What's up folks? Just realized I almost forgot to blog. It's been a few days. Not anything going on, maybe that's why I didn't have the urge to blog. Haha. Working both jobs, trying to stay awake. I was bad and went to Coldstone earlier, got some sinless sweet cream. Fat free, but still probably too much sugar. Today is grocery day. Whoopee. Wow one of our stations just ran their EAS test right after the bottom of the hour ID and it blended in perfectly with programming. Awesome. That's how unexciting my life is. Okay I'm going to go. Feel free to comment about anything and everything.
  

my weekend

• Now that I've just gone on a LONG rant about our New Kids trip, lemme tell you about my weekend. It was pretty fun. I'm probably not going on in great detail about it, simply because I'm tired. I met Kimmie in Lodi on Saturday afternoon to pick up our pictures that we had taken last month. They look very cute. I'll try to scan it in and post it when I have time. We had a great time together, going out to eat, and watching movies at her house. In fact we watched three different movies with Dan Aykroyd in them, when I think about it. Ghostbusters II, My Girl and Dragnet. Good times. Okay I'm like half awake so I'm going to pay some bills online and do other boring stuff. Toodles!
  

NKOTB 7/9

• Hey people how are you? I'm doing fantastic. I had an absolutely great time at the NKOTB concert on Thursday night and a fun weekend as well. I'm going to blog about the concert, and if it gets too longwinded I'll do a separate blog for the rest of the weekend. So on Thursday morning I picked up the Wheelchair Getaways van in Milbrae, then went home to shower and get ready for my really long day. I arrived in Lodi by noon, and we left a little after 1pm. We got to Concord around 2:30, and had to wait until 3pm before they opened the gates for us. We had great VIP parking in lot A, it just took about 20 minutes to find the right lot. We almost ended up in the crew's parking area, and pretty much cut off the New Kids' bus while I was getting directions. Hahaha. Then we had to wait in line for about an hour before we could get in. I came very close to passing out at one point. It was 85 degrees, I was thirsty and had been up for almost 24 hrs straight. Luckily I kept talking to Kimmie and everyone else around me and stayed awake.
  
• Once we got in we went straight to the souvenir booth. I got myself a t-shirt, which is awesome. Kimmie got stuff for various family members. Later on in the evening she bought me a Joe button, although she didn't have to. Next we got our gift bags and went in the VIP area for BBQ and beverages. We got free underwear (gave mine to Cathy), a towel, lip balm, sun lotion, and I can't remember what else. After mingling for a bit, we didn't have to wait long to see the boys. We were in the 4th group. Once we got to the picture area, we were told to wait for the rest of our group to go, since they wanted a separate pic with just us two. It was awesome. We got to chat with them for about 3 minutes and take a nice picture. I got hugs from them all, and Donnie and I had a brief conversation about Smurfette from the Smurfs, and how she used to be evil. Plus he gave me a high-five. That and Joe gave me a brief shoulder massage. It was lovely. I can't wait to get that picture back, you know I'm hanging an 8 X 10 on the wall. They are all really nice guys. Jordan always seems like he doesn't really like being there, but I've heard other reports of him being rude so it's not just us. Oh well.
  
• So after all that excitement we went to the restroom then went downstairs to find our seats. Now the other two times we've sat in the first ten rows, I have to transfer Kimmie out of her chair and stow it somewhere else. This time security physically moved chairs out of the way, so she didn't have to get out of hers. At first we were in the 7th row, but then some security lady told us we had to move 3 rows back so we weren't in the way. So we did. The seats were still awesome. Kimmie had no problems seeing anything, even with everyone standing up. Security came by quite often to see if she was enjoying the show. I'd say Concord Pavillion has the best wheelchair access and nicest security. At least compared to the HP Pavillion in San Jose and Savemart Center in Fresno.
  
• After the show we were one of the last vehicles out of the parking lot. We stopped for gas down the street, for coffee in Livermore, then back to Lodi. By then I was so exhausted that I felt drunk. Once I got her inside I made a McDonald's run which was interesting, because the manager there looked like a young Christian Slater. All in all, fantastic time. Probably the best NKOTB experience yet. Yay!!
  

summer fun

• Hey hey hey! How y'all doin? It's the middle of the week. I'm tired but what else is new? Nothing much going on. Monday I worked both jobs, relaxed in between. Tuesday I did the same, but did the grocery shopping in between. This made me 15 min late for this job, and I took Victoria home. Usually I don't like shopping in the evening, especially with a time crunch. I decided to so that I could get some housework done later this morning, and get an ample amount of rest. Thursday I'm probably not sleeping much at all, maybe a cat nap. It's the NKOTB concert in Concord!!! Yay!! By the time Kimmie and I get back from the concert and post concert festivities, it'll be at least 1am. I'll get Kimmie in bed, then I'm poopin out for a minimum of 8 hrs.
  
• I'm also starting to get excited for Spirit West Coast at the end of the month. Five freakin days of camping, a little bit of security work and lots of adventure!! Sandi and I will both have fun figuring out how to set up tents, blow up air mattresses, and not lighting ourselves on fire with the camping stove. Yay! Once my New Kids fiasco is over this week, I can start making lists and plan for camping. Whooo hooooo!!!
  

• What's up folks? Another awesome weekend has passed us by. It ended way too soon. Friday afternoon I worked at Traffic, then later on that evening I went out partying in San Fran with Davina, Lorie, and Tanya. We ended up at the Cat Club on Folsom, where it was 80s/Goth night. More like Goth night with Depeche Mode/Tears For Fears in the first room. Oh well, we still had drinks and danced for a few hours. It's cool doing early 90s dance moves to New Wave stuff. Afterward we had a tasty meal at Tommys Joint on Van Ness/Geary. Turkey dinner for less than $9, at 1am. Can't beat that with a baseball bat.
• My 4th of July was fun and laid back. Slept in, made oatmeal pancakes/scrambled eggbeaters/turkey bacon for breakfast. Went walking. Then I hung out with a special friend of mine later that evening watching movies. We really couldn't figure out what to do since a lot of places were closed and everything that was open was going to be crowded. Oh well, I had a GREAT time watching Wayne's World 2 and Adventures In Babysitting. Is it me or is that on cable every single weekend? Seems like it.
  
• Sunday I slept in again, got my exercise, then took Dad to Sebastopol. We ate lunch at McDonald's. I had a side salad with no dressing and a honey mustard grilled chicken wrap. I was astounded at how much sodium was in that, sheesh. Oh well, probably the healthiest thing they had there. Then eventually we got back to Dad's house, there was tons of traffic on the way. Later that evening Davina had a karaoke thing planned with a bunch of friends, but it fell through. I was able to take a nap for a few hours before work. I'm glad I did since I had a bit of a stress headache.

happy almost independance day

• Word up folks. How's everyone doing? I'm pretty okay if I say so myself. I'm actually caught up on sleep, which is good. Wednesday morning I went shopping/ran errands, and that took FOREVER. Wednesday night I worked, and Thursday I slept in. Got up, showered, walked a few miles, made a bombass dinner. Oh yeah, Cathy's cat JD snuck into the garage while I was bringing in my basket of clean laundry. I was like "oh well" and minded my own business. When I went out to find him ten minutes later, he was nowhere to be found. I called and called for an hour. He finally showed up on the front porch. How he got there, I don't know. When I told Cathy about it, she was pissed. Stupid cat. Oh yeah, Spencer's leg is feeling better. He's walking on it even more and being himself, so I'm not worrying about taking him to the vet. Yay.
  
• Oh and earlier I met with a guy friend for coffee before work. He wants to be known as Johnny Wishbone.. ROTF. Yeah we had a fun 20 min conversation and stuff. We're hanging out on Saturday. I can't wait. (If you've seen Beverly Hills Cop II, you'll know who Johnny Wishbone is...)
• I'm so glad the weekend is here. Later today I'm working an extra shift at Traffic, for some sweet holiday pay. I was asked to work here too but I'd only get 2 hrs of sleep, and that would suck. Later on tonight I'm going clubbin in San Fran with Davina and friends, it should be hecka fun. Saturday I'm not sure what's in store but I know we'll have fun. Yay!!

Oh wait, Amy uploaded a video from my bday party a few weeks back.


Lisa's 29th B-day

I need another nap

• Hey folks, how you've been? I'm doing okay, just exhausted as usual. Well the usual for an early Wednesday morning anyway. Not much going on. Working a lot, trying to get sleep. Spencer has a sore hind foot. I think he fell down from the table or something and hurt it. It seems to be only a minor sprain. He's still active, loves to eat, walks around the house and doesn't seem lethargic at all. If it were broken he wouldn't be moving, period. If it's still persisting in a week or so, I'll take him to the vet. No use in paying out the wazoo for someone to tell me he has a sprain.
  
• So yeah that's about it. I'm hecka sleepy so I'll probably power snooze in a bit. Oy. I need a nap.
