Halloweenie time

• Another day, another blog. I think I had a pretty darn good week. Earlier today (yesterday technically) I slept A LOT. About 10 hours. I guess my body needed it. Then I went to the gym later on in the evening before work and had an awesome work out. Did like an hour of cardio and 25 min of ab work and toning. I was kinda bad and had leftover chinese food for dinner though. Lemon chicken, and I steamed some fresh broccoli to have with it. Guess I could have done worse. Just all that Chinese stuff is breaded and fried and covered with sugary sauce. Oh well, I think tonight I'm eating a gardenburger and some zucchini so I'll be back on track. Wait, Halloween is on Saturday. I hope I don't succumb to candy binging. I think Davina might though. I bought 6 bags of candy, we'll be handing most of it out. Oh yes and I hope to see the new MJ movie This Is It over the weekend as well, maybe on Saturday morning. I got the soundtrack, which is basically music I already have plus a few rare demos and a picture booklet. Still cool. Okay well I'm going to keep myself occupied here. Toodles!
  

blah

• What's up folks? Not much here. Been working a lot as usual. Right now I'm eating grapes and watching random stuff on Youtube. I'm going grocery shopping in the morning. How thrilling. And yeah that's about it. :-)
  

this is how we do it

• What's up folks? Not much here, I'm really exhausted. Think I may powersnooze in a bit after this. I had a fun weekend though. On Friday evening I took Michelle to Claimjumper for her early birthday dinner. It was basically my present to her. Cost a lot of money, but boy was it worth it. So freakin good. Then later on we went to Acupulco, a Mexican restaurant on the border of San Lorenzo and Hayward with Fernando, Grace and their kids. We only had drinks/chips since we already ate. Fern's son Joey is so freakin cute, and boy is he smart. Grace is such a great mom.
  
• Saturday Davina and I got up early and caught the first showing of Cirque De Freak : The Vampire's Assistant. I really liked it. Wasn't monumentally heart pounding or anything, but it was a nice vampire adventure movie. Then we went to the marina and walked 3 miles, that was fun. Later on in the evening I picked her up and we went to the Halloween Haunt at Great America. It was so worth the $25. There were 5 different haunted attractions, random creatures walking about, and riding the coasters at night is so much fun. Especially The Demon. Would have ridden Top Gun but the line was too long. I love having the crap scared out of me. Later on we made a late night run to La Pinata for some killer Mexican grub. Yumtastic.
  
• On Sunday I opted on sleeping in instead of going to church. Seeing that I didn't get home until 2am and didn't go to sleep until 3, it makes sense. I did catch up on sleep, made a nice breakfast, and headed on over to the gym to get a great workout. I only got a semi-great workout since my new iPod decided to issue me the white screen of death. I tried all the different manual resets with no luck. Fortunately I only bought it 10 days ago and was able to return it to Best Buy. Only bummer is because I purchased it online, I couldn't do an even exchange, all I could do was get the refund back on my card. Later on I picked up a new one from the store in Dublin. I just didn't feel like going back to Union City and doing in-store pickup from the same dude who returned the other one. So yeah, that wasted a good part of an afternoon driving around dealing with my iPod problem. I spent the rest of my evening downloading music and trying to take a nap. I couldn't fall asleep for some reason. This time I can't blame my roommate and her kids, because they weren't home. Oh well. Then I came to work and talked to Kimmie for 2 hours on the phone, made copies and vacuumed the floor. Wow I did work. And I have to call some engineer in Wisconsin later on. Oh the excitement. Okay talk to y'all later.
  

i wanna be a cowboy

• What's up folks? I'm feeling a little better today. Still a bit under the weather though. When I got home from grocery shopping yesterday morning I took some generic Nyquil and passed out for 11 hours. It felt good. That's about all that's going on. I've been working A LOT this week since everyone's sick, and I'm in the middle of a 12 hour shift at the moment. 11pm to 11am. I don't know if Brad's sick or just has errands to run this morning. Oh well, more overtime for me. I can certainly use it. Later on tonight I'm taking Michelle out for her bday dinner. Her birthday is next Friday, but she wants to go out this week, which is fine. Cathy may be joining us, I'm not sure. Oh yeah, on Saturday I'm going to see Cirque De Freak with Davina. I love me some John C Reilly and young vampire boys. Yeah I know I have problems. So yeah I'm just gonna sit here for 8 more hours listening to bad 80s music, watching CHiPs online, eating fat free yogurt and lots of fruit. Yay for me.
  

Everyone's sick

• Word up homies. Not much here. I'm working A LOT this week. Victoria is out sick right now so I'm doing a 10 1/2 hr shift, and I worked 5 hours earlier at Traffic. I'm working an extra shift there tomorrow. Probably won't go grocery shopping till Thursday morning. Oh the joys of working an almost 60 hour week. Oh well, I need the extra dough. Besides that, no interesting stuff going on. I'm trying very hard not to get sick right now. I'm pretty sure I have a cold, the stuffy nose and achy feelings all over. I'm taking care of myself the best that I can. The weekend will be here before I know it so I can just sleep it off, I hope. My boss isn't feeling well either so that's not a good thing. Oh boy.
  

Happy bday Kimmie!

• Howdy folks. I had a fun weekend and boy am I beat. I went to Kimmie's house early Friday afternoon, then her sister took us along with her niece Joyce to the mall in their van. It was a nice thing for her to do so we didn't have to worry about catching a bus. We had a ton of fun at both Sherwood and Weberstown Malls, which are next to each other. I always find that weird, but whatever. We had our pictures taken in our costumes, and did quite a bit of shopping. Only thing I bought was new glittery eyeliner from Hot Topic. I almost bought an "Animal" beanie from Spencer Gifts but I refrained. Now people have Christmas ideas for me. I love The Muppets, in case you don't know me that well. Haha. Later on in the evening we got back to Kimmie's place and watched Carrie. That's always a great stand-by because it's cheesy and William Katt is in it. Sexiness.
  
• Saturday we had Kimmie's bday celebration at Woodbridge Pizza in Woodbridge. It's about a 30 min walk (when pushing a wheelchair anyway). I think she really enjoyed herself, because several of her/our friends showed up including Cathy. Cathy made an awesome bday cake for Kimmie, by the way. New Kids themed, big shock there. We had a lot of great fun opening presents and such, and enjoying ourselves. Then we checked out some crappy little market behind the pizza place. It was so bad they were selling old Mcdonald Happy Meal toys. Kinda scary. We headed back to her place, and Cathy met us there. Then we put on Tales From The Dark Side, which I had given Kimmie for her bday. We ended up watching about 7 hours of it nonstop, and getting drunk in the process. I had a fuzzy navel winecooler and 3-4 rum/diet cherry pepsis. I'm not sure exactly how many, I kinda lost count. Kimmie had a winecooler and 2 rum drinks. No I did not get a hangover. I think she maybe had a slight one. She drinks even less than I do, so that's no surprise. Eventually I passed out around 1am, but she stayed online for 3 more hours talking to Kevin while I was snoring away.
  
• Sunday we slept in and I'm glad because both of us needed it. We watched a movie I brought called Meet The Applegates where Ed Begley Jr and his family are cockroaches disguised as humans. Very stupid, but I love dumb movies. Then we watched an hour or so of Kids Incorporated, then an episode of Wonder Woman guest starring Ed Begley Jr. So yeah that's about it. We had tons of fun as usual, and I think our pictures at the mall turned out really cute. I left her place in the afternoon, went home, unpacked and hit the gym. That was about it. I'm way tired, and I should have been napping earlier. Instead I spent hours uploading music onto my iPod. That's what I'm doing right now at work too. The Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack at the moment. Haha.
  

Sometimes I'm just an idiot

• What's up folks? It's me on a lovely early Friday morning. I'm uploading music to my new iPod at the moment, and rocking out to The Police. Did I want to buy a new iPod yesterday? Not really. I was a complete idiot and left my Zune at the gym on Wednesday night, and didn't realize it until hours later. I called as soon as the gym opened and they said they couldn't check the safe until later that morning, I even stopped by after work and checked the locker room myself to no avail. No one was honest enough to turn it in. Oh well, guess there aren't many Christians or good Samaritans working out at Bally at 10:30pm. *sigh* I got myself a 160GB iPod earlier today at Best Buy. I wouldn't have died without one, but since I listen to music EVERYDAY and can't really work out without it.. yeah. I only hope this thing is durable and Lisa-proof. We shall see.
  
• Other news, nothing else. Worked out at the gym on Wednesday night and earlier tonight as well, and it felt great. Lots of cardio, some strength training. I'm going to Lodi for the weekend later on this morning, so I'm leaving work early around 4am. Thank you Brad, I owe you some Dr. Pepper and Big Red. Now I have time to go home and sleep about 5 hours before getting up and doing last minute packing. It's Kimmie's bday weekend and we're gonna have a blast I'm sure. It involves going to the mall in my kittycat costume so Lord only knows what else is going to happen. Okay well gotta keep on uploading hot jamz.
  

rain = lots of traffic

• Howdy doody folks. It's the middle of the week, and I'm bored. My allergies suck and my back hurts. Waaaaah. It was raining cats and dogs earlier today (yesterday.. whatever), and I was working nonstop at Traffic. More problems with flooding, trees, power poles and power lines in the roadway than actual accidents. So much fun. Then I went home, cleaned my room, the kitchen and made dinner. Apparently there was a minor earthquake as I was walking in the door, but I didn't feel it. Haha. Everyone on Facebook did. So yeah that's about it. Gonna go grocery shopping after work this morning. Seems like I'm out of everything. Fun.
  

woot woot

• Heidi ho folks. I'm back from my weekend. I spent a lot of it lounging around at home and spending with family, and that's a good thing. Friday night I went to Sweet Tomatoes with Michelle, then we went to the mall. Of course I did my 2 mile walk before leaving for dinner. Big shocker there. I got new earrings. Oooh ahhh. Then later on we had a crazy photo shoot in my bedroom. Well Cathy and I did, Michelle just took pictures. Yeah we're creative.
• Saturday morning I went with Cathy on a cake delivery in Richmond. Fun stuff, then I came back, took my walk, had lunch, and watched movies all afternoon/evening. It was a fun chance to just relax for once. I think I saw Beverly Hills Cop II and III, part of Delta Farce and To Live And Die In L.A. Rather entertaining. Then later on that night I went to Walmart with Cathy and got socks, Candy Cane flavored tea and generic Benadryl for my allergies. That is so damn thrilling isn't it?
  
• Sunday I got up and went to church like a good girl, then came home and exercised as usual. Then we had Dad and Michelle over to celebrate Dad's 70th birthday. This is a huge milestone for him. He's been through a lot, particularly in the last few years. We gave him plenty of new clothes to wear and Cathy made a cute camouflage teddy bear cake. It was so stinkin cute. Later on in the evening I tried to take a nap to no avail. It was a full house there at home. TJ and Cathy were in their room, while Aubri, her boyfriend and kids were in the living room. So yeah, pretty much impossible to sleep. I think I dozed off for about 30 min and had a nightmare about work. Hahaha. So I'll definitely be ready to snooze when I get home in 5 hrs or so.
  
• Yeah this week should be fun. Tiring but fun. This upcoming weekend I'll be in Lodi celebrating Kimmie's 28th bday. Woot woot!! We're gonna be scary!!
  

and that's all she wrote

• What's up my peeps? Not much here. Thank God it's Friday. I have absolutely nothing planned this weekend, and that's a good thing. I need some time to just chill at home and veg out. Relaxing is a good thing. So what's been new the last day or two? Nothing. Took Dad and Michelle to Applebee's as an early bday celebration for Dad. He'll be 70 on Sunday. We're bringing him over for cake/presents that afternoon. I'm sure he'll have a good time. And that's all she wrote..
  

Short and pointless

• Not a whole lot going on, my usual very short and pointless midweek blog here. Just a lot of working, housework, and trying to stay awake. Dad's been under the weather the past few days. He may have the beginning of a chest cold, doctor said he's okay. Don't worry, he got his flu shot a few weeks ago, and will get the H1N1 when it's available. Can't take any chances on Pops. Other than that, no new exciting things to mention. Today is one of my LONG days. Grocery shopping after work, then I'm going home to do housework and will probably go walking, since I have a dentist appointment at 11am and some time to kill. I know one thing, that when I get home after my cleaning/scraping session with Dr. Nyugen I'm gonna pass the f**k out. Pardon my language. I'm so nice. Okay, toodles!
  

choochoo

• Howdy doody. I'm back from a fun weekend and I'm tired. I have the feeling a powersnooze is in order. Anyway lemme know what I was up to. Friday afternoon I worked an extra shift @ Traffic since they were short a person and I can't pass up more dinero. I may be working a few extra shifts here and there as needed, my boss there says he can use the extra help. I can use the extra cash. Anyway after that Davina and I met up for a Friday night adventure. We went to Best Buy and I got more blank CDs, then to Chevy's for dinner. I love me some Mexican food. Of course we went to see Zombieland afterward. That movie rocked. Beat my expectations, and very hilarious. I'd actually pay to see it again, it was just that good. Other movies I'd like to watch in the next few months are Where The Wild Things Are and Cirque De Freak. Forget that Twilight crap. I don't hate it, but it just doesn't appeal to me. So yeah, later on we stopped by Walmart to get pads & zombie make-up. I think I'll be a zombie on Halloween itself and a kittycat as a back-up costume, probably the weekend I spend at Kimmie's house.
  
• Saturday morning I caught up on exercise by walking a few miles, which felt great. Then Davina, Lorie, her friend Jovie and I went to the A's game, the second to the last one of the season. We lost to Anaheim 4-2. Big shocker there. I did enjoy sitting in the Westside Club eating chicken, fries & ice cream for half the game, and my free mini-A's helmet. After the game we had coffee at Cafe Sorriso, then I picked up my Dad. I promised I'd watch him for a while so Michelle could go on another stupid date with her boyfriend. The important thing is Dad got out of the house for a bit and enjoyed himself at my place.
  
• Sunday I woke up bright and early, and had enough time to go walking before Davina picked me up for church. Church was fun, Pastor Vince had a good message about not straying from God, no matter how bad you've been. After church got out we went to Target, then to Kennedy Park next door to ride the choochoo train. I've always wanted to ride it. So much fun. Life is about the little things, you know. We then met up with Lorie at her place, and walked to the Sausage & Suds festival from there. I got a fireman hat and was able to climb in the fire engine. So exciting! I had tri-tip as a late lunch, then some kettle korn. It was a fun time and I ran into friends I hadn't seen in a long while. Then I went back home and took a nice nap before work. Here I am.
  
• Yeah so that's it. I'm way tired. Oy vey.
  

Bodily functions are cool

• Yay it's Friday!! I'm not going to discuss any more menstrual talk for a while, apparently some of my readers get grossed out. Haha. I'm still going to talk about other bodily functions freely, so deal with it. I don't know what's so taboo about talking about any bodily function, frankly. We're all humans. We all pee, poo, fart, burp, girls get their periods, some of us have sex. So why not discuss it freely?
  
• As usual, not so much going on. Wednesday I went grocery shopping, and later on that evening I went to Sweet Tomatoes with Michelle. Should have gone walking but I felt like crap. Thursday morning I ran a few errands with Michelle, then came home and slept. Later on I went walking, made dinner, and watched lots of TV. Now I'm here. I still feel kinda blah but I'm sure I'll recover over this weekend. I think I'm going to the A's game on Saturday. Yay!
