aloha! yay

Oh man I had the absolute BEST time in Hawaii!! This is gonna be a long one!! I'm not even sure where to begin. Here's what I'm going to do. I will explain day by day what we did, and then just post all my pics at the end, and hopefully in chronological order.

Thursday..

I got up at 5:30am, did some last minute packing, and then Sandi's mom and stepdad picked me up at 7:30. We checked in at the airport and got on our flight at 11:00am pacific time. The plane ride seemed to take forever. Anyway, Hawaii time is 3 hours behind California's time, in case you folks didn't know that. We arrived in Honolulu around 12:50pm Hawaii time, and got to our hotel around 2pm. Then we decided to buy a sandwich downstairs at the ABC store for lunch (well I did, Sandi ate something on the plane) and headed for the beach. After playing in the water for a few hours, we decided to walk along the main drag. I can't remember the name of the street, but oh well. We happened upon Cheeseburger In Paradise like a block away. It was SOOOO good. Yumfest. So good we ate there again on Sunday afternoon. Haha. We walked the rest of the strip, then went back to the hotel and went sleepy. Oh man our beds were sooooo comfy, it was so hard to get up in the morning, let me tell ya.



Landing in Honolulu.


I got lei'd at the airport. By a girl. First time for everything I guess. Did you get that one?


That bed was way too comfy.


View from one balcony.. Diamond Head Crater behind me.


View from other balcony.. Waikiki Beach in the background.


Some beach bum took this one.


Our hotel from the beach.


Beautiful sunset.


Yummmy pina colada!


Yeah this guy was interesting. Haha.

Friday...
We literally had to get up at the bootycrack of dawn on Friday. I woke up at 5am. Sandi woke up around 5:30ish. We had to be out at the bus stop in back of the hotel by 6:15am. Why? We were going on a daylong tour/excursion that kicked major butt. Our tourdriver Rocky was so awesome. He first took us to Pearl Harbor and we spent a few hours there. Then he took us all around the island to places like the Dole Pineapple Plantation, the North Shore, and even took us for free macadamia nut samples. So much fun. We saw lots of great beaches, and even sped past Tom Selleck's house. Oh and the property used as "Robin's Nest" on Magnum P.I. You know, the house Higgins lived in.. the old guy. Anyway, we saw so much stuff and didn't even get back until 5pm. I could go on and on about all the neat stuff we did, but that would take absolutely forever. Once we got back we headed for the beach again and played in the water for a few more hours. I had bought a water volleyball thing the night before so we had fun playing with that. Afterwards we proceeded with lots more shopping and topped it off with a late dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. That is my new favorite restaurant. Oh god it's freakin great. I'm in love.

I took a really scary and pretty hard to see video at like 5:30am. I was hyper and not wearing pants.


Rainbow I saw in line to get into Pearl Harbor.

When Lisa attacks!!

On Saturday we also had loads of fun. We went to the Honolulu Zoo and saw all kinds of neat animals there. It was about a block away from the hotel so it was perfect. Later on in the afternoon/evening we went to see Audio Adrenaline, Mercy Me, Christian rapper T-Bone and comedian Bob Smiley at Waikiki Shell. The music and comedy all had a special message of Jesus and the all of them touched my heart. It was amazing. What was even cooler was that Sandi had emailed the local Christian radio station a month ago.. and the morning show hosts Dave and Kim that were there introducing the bands read her email out loud. She got to meet Dave, and he gave her a free shirt. After the show Sandi really wanted to meet Audio Adrenaline but they left the venue really early. She was really bummed since this was their LAST SHOW EVER. Mark has had probs with his vocal cords so they decided to call it quits after 16 years. But boy was Sandi in for a surprise the next day!!



Milking a fake cow at the zoo.


Elephant!


Really really loud gibbon!!

I forgot what this is called, but he's so cute.

Getting emotional after the show.


So did Sandi apparently. LOL


Me and comedian Bob Smiley.

Sunday.. oh what a day...

On Saturday night after the show Sandi had talked to a member of the Audio A tour group. (The ones who paid two grand to hang with the band for like 4 days) We found out that the band members would be surfing on the beach on Sunday morning. So we decided to do a stakeout, try to blend in and maybe get an autograph/pic. Well it worked. We got pictures and autographs from Will (bass player), Mark (lead singer) and Ben (drummer). It was so awesome, and they were so nice. Afterwards we went and played in the ocean for a few more hours. In the afternoon we ate lunch at Cheeseburger In Paradise again (I've never had a better cheeseburger) and did last minute shopping. Then we went to the luau (celebration, whatever it was called). In line for the luau, Sandi spotted Tyler, who plays guitar/sings. She didn't want to look like a goober and didn't want to lose her place in line so she asked me to go get his attention. That's exactly what I did. He is soooo cute. He gave Sandi an autograph and took pics with both of us. During the luau Sandi and I were seated with tables full of Japanese people, and all the Audio A folks were on the other side. This was pretty entertaining, since we had to pose for a pic or two with some interesting Japanese tourists. So funny. After the show I got pics with most of the male cast members. May I admit the majority of them were downright sexy. Oh man. Whew. Getting hot in here. Afterwards, we hung out in our room and did some packing, since we had to leave at 8am the next day.


Sleeping beauty. I flatter myself sometimes.

Just a slew of hot guys...










This guy was juggling and eating fire. Whew.




This guy looks just like Al in production here at my fulltime job. Sounds like James Earl Jones though. Good deep voice.

Monday.. :(

Alas, on Monday morning we left. Got up at 7, showered, finished cramming into my suitcase, and waited outside for the shuttle to the airport. So sad. We had an absolutely fantastic time and I'll never forget it. Never! I miss Hawaii already.


Coral reefs. Everything on that island is simply beautiful.

31 hours till boarding.... yay

YES!!!

1. In approximately 31 hours I will be boarding my plane to Hawaii. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!! AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT!! I'M ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL AND I THINK I LIKE IT!!! I just quoted the Pointer Sisters, but who cares? Life is fantastic. Magnificent. I'm hyper.
   
2. Went to the gym on Tuesday morning and yes I'm going today. Went for 15 miles on the recumbant bike, took about 40 minutes. I was sweatin all over the place. Whoo thank god for deoderant.
   

NO! (LOL)

1. I won't be Myspacin/Bloggin till probably anywhere from Monday/Wednesday of next week. When I get back to Cali I'll probably upload pics onto Photobucket/Myspace, but I won't blog right away. I'll have lots to cover. The very next morning I'm leavin to stay in Lodi for a day and a half with Kimmie, to wreak havoc out there. (Totally 80s sleepover!!!! Whoooooo!!!) So I won't have time for full-on blogging. Now on my trip I might be on AIM here and there, but not much. Won't be on Myspace at all. I doubt I'll be bored, folks. Sorry devoted Lisa blog/survey fans.
   

This is short and sweet, I'm just too excited, folks. Have fun on the mainland!!!!

Amen!

YES!!

1. Only 2 days until vacation from work, and 3 days until I leave for Hawaii!!! I'm so excited. Only drawback is I'm compressing my Bible study, doing like 3-4 days worth at once. Read like 8 chapters of the book of Daniel tonight. Whew, lots of idol worshipping kings, crazy dreams predicting Revelations.. crazy stuff. Also people standing up for their faith. That in itself is awesome. I love learning about the Bible, it's just that 2 1/2 hrs of focused Bible study makes my brain hurt a little. LOL
2. I had a pretty cool weekend. Friday night I ate dinner at home, then went to Kohls/Bed Bath and Beyond with Amy and looked at bedding. So darn exciting. Afterward I went to my place. Cathy and TJ hung out for an hour, then left of course. I made myself a mudslide, but went to bed by like 10:30pm. Saturday wasn't too thrilling either. I hung with Cathy, TJ, Jeff and Alicia for a while but went home early and fell asleep. Noelle was having an impromtu party at her place, and I feel bad for missing it. But I was really pooped.
   
3. Went to the gym on Friday morning, and Sunday afternoon. I'm planning on going tonight and Tuesday evening, if Cathy stays on the ball. If she's feeling tired, I'll just go on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. There's a gym at the hotel in Hawaii, but I'm going to be really busy and trying to relax. I'll save the workouts for when I get back, probably.
   

Waah

1. I feel bad because I missed little Joey's baptism on Sunday morning. I had to work, did an airshift. I feel guilty since I've missed church for what seems like years just for work. I know God understands (I'm hoping), and someday soon I'll be going back. I miss Pastor Gary, he's pretty funny.
   
2. Still feeling like a Fatty McFat Fat lately, but what else is new? Boo.
   

6 more days baby

whoopee

1. Weekends rock!! I love weekends, and the weekend is upon us. I have no clue what I'm doing besides working my parttime gigs, but it's going to be marvelous.
   
2. A week from now I'll be chillin in Hawaii, probably snoozing by now. We have to get up that Friday at like 5am so we can be on the tour bus by 6:15am, so yeah. I think we'll be too excited to sleep a whole 8 hours though. :)
3. Went to the gym on Tuesday night, and I'm going again this morning. I've found that the recumbant bike gives me a harder workout then the treadmill so I'm going to be switching off between the two when I go.
   

Oh well..

1. My weight still won't dip below 200, and it's driving me nuts. I'm about to go on vacation and I'm going to try not to go over the deep end in Cheaterville there in Hawaii. LOL. It's still a vacation and there's so much good food there, so I don't know. There's also a gym there at the hotel, if I have time I may do a workout or two. Maybe.
   
2. I've been eating a lot of crap ... went to Chilis with Cathy and Amy on Thursday night and pigged out.. got chicken club tacos and a salad. Could have been worse I suppose. Earlier in the day after takin my mom to the doctor she treated us to McDonalds. I was good and got a yogurt parfait and a sausage mcgriddle. I haven't eaten any of them yet. The yogurt is for later this morning on my shift, and I'm eating the mcgriddle when I get back from the gym. I'm not goin to bed today until after noon since my dad has a doctor appt at 11am today. Yes I admit the mcgriddle is evil, but it's better to eat it when I know I'm not eating a lot for quite a few hours.
   

more boring blog stuff

yippy skippy

1. Went to the gym on Monday and Tuesday evening. I won't be able to make it today, but I'm planning on going Thursday morning and Thursday evening. Yes I'm that insane. I've observed that evenings are not only crowded, but full of horny guys gawking at everyone. I prefer exercising in the morning with the old geezers, fat people (I'm one of em) and the gym rats.
   
2. Cathy said she thought I was 20 lbs lighter then my older sister Michelle. The sad fact is that Michelle and I weigh roughly the same amount. Most of her weight is water and fat. Mine is mostly muscle with some fat here and there. I appreciated the comment though.
   
3. Only 8 days till Hawaii!!!

ugh

1. Got in a lovely argument with my older sister. She's always taking advantage of the fact that I take her and my parents here, there and everywhere in the mornings when I should be asleep. When I tell her I'm tired, she gets really bent out of shape. My schedule is insane as it is. Do I really have to lose sleep so I can take her to buy a cat carrier for her obese mentally challenged cat? LOL
   

had a great time

yippy skippy

1. My weekend was pretty cool. Friday I went to dinner at Outback with Amy. After gorging ourselves with evil carbs (and a margarita), we went to Fernando's house. We played with baby Joey and kicked it with Fern, Grace, Michael, Irma, and Irma's kids. Afterwards Amy dropped me off at my house around 9ish since she had to get up way early in the morning. Then I had some long phone convos with Noelle, then Fernando. Fernando really loves to talk, as we all know.
   
2. On Saturday I worked in SF, then came home and took a nappy. Then around 5pm Brad picked me up and we got Victoria, then we proceeded to Giribaldi's for drinks. I had some kind of hawaiian drink, it was made with vodka and pineapple juice. After a while we went to Quinn's Lighthouse down near Embarcadero also in Oakland. We hung out upstairs for about an hour waiting for a seat downstairs, and I had a pear cider. Then downstairs we ate and got merry. I had a sliced pork/turkey sandwich with au jus dipping stuff, and a salad. Also had a rum/diet coke. Really tasty. After that we went to Victoria's house and had dessert while playing with her kitties Xena and Abby and watching 48 hours. Great time.
   
3. I did a pretty good airshift yesterday morning. Leeanne said she heard a few breaks I did, and apparently I wasn't too awful. That's always encouraging.
   
4. Went to the gym on Friday morning, and on Sunday afternoon. Cathy wants to start going during the evenings on the weekdays starting today. If she changes her mind I'm still going in the mornings, I've got to keep up my rigid workout schedule to get some of this weight off.
   

bah

1. Nothing too tragic goin on in my life right now. I'm still a bit bummed that I'm still a chunkybutt though I exercise 5 days a week. Maybe I'm getting smaller and I don't notice. *sigh*
   

Here are some pics from my weekend....

Brad, Victoria and I at Girbaldis..


My froofy drink at Giribaldis..


Don't ask..


These are the crazies I work with.. LOL


and yeah this was a stupid video blog.. I hate Youtube since the audio/video is never synched right.. so it looks like a badly edited Japanese film

yay for fridays

Woot Woot

1. The weekend is upon us once again. Tonight I have no clue what I'm doing, hopefully it will involve my blender and some margaritas/pina coladas. On Saturday I'm supposed to go for drinks at Garibaldi's in Oakland with Brad and Victoria, then dinner at Quinn's Lighthouse. Davina can't come, but I'm sure it will still be loads of fun, and yes I'm bringing my camera.
   
2. Went to the gym on both Wednesday and Thursday, and I'm going this morning too. I'm doin good!
3. Made my final car payment today, that's a major boulder lifted off my shoulders. Starting next month I can intensely pay off my credit cards.
   
4. I just bought Audio Adrenaline's "Adios" CD last night at Borders, in anticipation of going to their show with Mercy Me in Waikiki in a few weeks. It kicks major butt. Now I can see why Sandi is so stoked to go. Besides the fact that it's part of our Hawaiian getaway. Their music is helping me think about a lot of things I've done both good and bad, and how much Jesus means to me.
   

BOO

1. The cat killing dogs struck again, another one of my neighbor Jaime's kitties. Everyone is so frustrated because it's like a serial killer is on the loose in the area, and no one is doing anything. Okay the killer is a group of dogs and the victims are cats, but so what? If that dog somehow magically breaks into my home and takes Turbo, I may commit murder. It won't be pretty.
   
2. I was almost tempted to try Slimquick. I saw the ad on TV about how it's hard for women to lose weight, and it really appealed to me. I even checked out the website. But I realized it's a series of pills, and once you stop taking the pills, you probably gain the weight back. I don't like having chemicals in my body anyway, I rarely take Advil or anything like that. So why would I want weight loss stuff in my body? Good thing I talked some sense into myself. I am in the middle of a lifestyle change, not just a diet plan with some pills. I told myself I would do this the right way, and that's what I'm going to continue doing.
   

happy hump day

yippy skippy

1. Well today's my hump day, the middle of my work week. I actually have a little bit of work to do tonight, just checking up on things later and making some phone calls. Still beats boredom.
2. Went to the gym yesterday morning, and I'm going again today after breakfast with Leeanne. I'll probably get eggs and toast or something not too bad. No waffles or pancakes for me, although they sure are tempting.
   
3. I never realized how many pals I have until I got to work and was bombarded with IMs. I love talking with friends. Makes me appreciate the love from friends I have in my life. Special shout out to Noelle, Sandi, Kimmie and Leeanne. Guess I'll shout out to David since he'll probably be bugging me later on in my shift. Haha.
   
4. Went to the A's game on Monday night, and we lost to the White Sox 4-1. The game was so boring that Sandi and I found more entertainment watching drunk people near us in the bleachers than the actual game. Haha.
   

boo boo boo

1. Sorry to keep bringing up my weight struggles yet again. Just feels like I'm not getting anywhere. I have friends that are dieting and such, but I've been down that road before. First of all I refuse to pay someone to tell me what to eat. Secondly I know that I probably won't eat what they tell me, just because I'm stubborn and don't like people telling me what to do. I'm trying to do this the right way, by eating healthy and exercising almost every day. I just don't see a whole lot of changes yet, and it's been months. Also the fact that my mommy got me a root beer float yesterday at Safeway didn't help the cause. But it sure was good. LOL
2. I just found out that Myspace doesn't allow Photobucket videos to be posted on their site anymore. That means I'll have to use Youtube or Myspace to upload vids. It's not that much of a nuisance, but I hate Myspace for being so corporate and monopolizing the content on their site. I can go on a rant for days about media conglomerates and monopolies (I know Leeanne knows exactly what I mean), but I'll spare the whining for now.
   
3. I've finally realized why my boss says my shift is so grueling. Okay I do have the least amount of work compared to the other operators, that's a good thing. The downside is that no matter how much I sleep, or exercise, or eat right, I'm always exhausted. I guess it's my internnal time clock saying "Hey it's 1am Lisa, sleepytime!!" That's also why sometimes I wake up in the middle of the day and it's hard to fall back asleep. Put in the factors that everyone else is awake and likes calling me at odd hours, and I spend some of my day chauffering my parents to run errands, that's why I'm always exhausted. Almost 2 weeks until vacation!!!! Believe me I need it.
   

soooooo tired

whoopee

1. I got a nice compliment from a listener on Sunday morning. She said that I should be on afternoons, and she finds me pretty funny. She sounded sincere, I was afraid she was buttering me up so she could win some Six Flags Discovery Kingdom tix I was giving away. Haha.
   
2. Sunday was Easter, and it was pretty okay. I worked all 3 jobs, but my mom gave me a giftcard for Chilis, a giant chocolate bunny and other goodies.
   
3. I actually bought a bathing suit for my Hawaii trip. Amy and Cathy said I look cute in it. I figure if we're gonna be across the street from the ocean, and at a hotel with 2 pools, I may as well enjoy it. I can't swim, but I can still play in the water.
   
4. 17 days until Hawaii!!!!!!
5. Tonight I'm going to the A's home opener against the White Sox. Unfortunately bleachers were sold out so I got a ticket for another section. I'm hoping to get down to the bleachers with Sandi and company somewhere in the middle of the game. It will still be a blast.
   

*sigh*

1. I am SOOOO exhausted right now. I usually get a nap on Sunday afternoons after I come home from KKIQ and I have time to run errands, go to the gym, do housework, whatever. But I usually nap for at least 5 hours or so. Yesterday I had to work in SF right after I got off work in Pleasanton. By the time I got home it was 8pm, and I had to get my housework done. So I ended up taking a one hour nap. At least I didn't have to cook, I picked up some Easter leftovers on the way to work.
   
2. I ate kinda bad over the weekend. My mom bought me a giant creme-filled donut on Friday and I ate it. I also at KFC, although it was a salad and a snacker, nothing too bad. Oh yeah I also had a bean burrito at Taco Bell. No this wasn't all in one setting, this was over a few day period. Still awful though.
   
3. Won't be able to hit the gym until Tuesday morning. I'm hoping to go the rest of the week, as much as I can.
   

He died for us

hooray

1. The weekend is upon us, and so is Easter. Yes Easter is a big deal to me, despite the fact that I have to work all 3 jobs that day and only get to grab Easter dinner on the way to my overnight job. I don't care if you are religious or not, I'm still gonna talk about it. Jesus died on the cross for me, and for you. He rose on the third day, and that's what Easter is all about. Easter bunnies and candy are awesome, but they aren't the real reason for the holiday. Amen.
   
2. I should have some fun with Cathy, Amy and friends tonight. We're either going to Amanda's house or mine and I'm going to have some more pina coladas. Mmmm.
   
3. Went to the gym on Wednesday and Thursday morning, and I'm going today. That's 5 days this week!! Woot woot!!

grrr

1. Had to buy a new monitor cable for my computer Thursday at Best Buy. It only set me back $20 and the problem could have been much worse. I also had to go into In And Out Burger to pick up dinner for my folks. You know how hard it is to go into a burger joint while trying to eat healthy? Okay yeah I got a cheeseburger, but no fries or drink. I went home and made some vegetable soup to go with it. (patting self on back)
2. I broke my stupid thumbnail while trying to unscrew my cable off the back of my computer monitor. I'd like to thank Amy for having tiny fingers and finishing the job. I'm so glad I still have plenty of Garfield bandaids in my medicine cabinet. Ouchies.
   
3. Oh yes, in case you didn't catch my Myspace bulletin from the other morning, the cat killing beasts struck again. They killed a pregnant girl kitty who lived next door to me. Animal Control finally came out and took a report, after my mom called their supervisor several times. I hate dogs now. Grrr.
   

random video: Kimmie and I looking at cheap wine at Big Lots.. haha

Stray dogs suck

woot woot

1. 22 days until Hawaii!! I got Hawaii For Dummies from Borders on Tuesday so I'm going to brush up on what to do while I'm there. I am SO stoked.
   
2. Went to Costco with Cathy and Mom on Tuesday, and got plenty of food. I got all healthy stuff too. Lots of veggies, cheese, yogurt, 100 Calorie snack packs, and frozen chicken. I am such a good girl.
   
3. Went to the gym on Tuesday morning, and I plan on going this morning as well, although I'm exhausted. I can actually get sleep today for once, and I can't wait to collapse into bed later.
   

:(

1. In case you didn't read my Myspace bulletin from Monday night, a stray dog attacked and killed 2 kitties on my street on Monday morning. One of them was my family's cat Olly. Cathy kicked the dog but it got away, and Olly died in Michelle's arms. It so sucked. Also, when I got home on Monday morning my neighbor's cat was dead on my lawn. Apparently the stray dog enjoys killing cats. If I find it I'm going to smash it's head in and run it over 10 times. Well I'd like to anyway.
   
2. I have not gotten enough sleep the last few days. Tuesday morning I had to watch my parents while Michelle ran to the bank.. it took 2 hours since she was taking the bus downtown. *sigh*. By the time I got to bed it was after 11am and I had to get up around 4:30pm to take a shower, so I could go to Costco. I am way tired, I definitely deserve this upcoming vacation.
   

Random Video: Cathy bellydancing..

im so weird

I'm still alive

1. Had a pretty cool weekend. Friday night I ended up staying home after a brief journey to Taco Bell for the family. I had a pina colada and a rum/diet coke, and watched a lot of TV. Cathy and TJ came over briefly, but left after like an hour. They were "tired" but I think that's a codeword for horny. Hahaha. I'm just kidding Cathy. Or maybe I'm not, you decide.
2. On Saturday I worked in the morning and then hung out with Davina. We ate at the Elephant Bar (overpriced but good), then went to a pirate store in Fremont where I purchased a provacative skirt. I plan on being a sexy beast for Halloween this year. Then we went to Berkeley and shopped on Telegragh for a few hours, then did karaoke in Oakland.
   
3. Did a decent airshift on Sunday morning. The first part of my shift was a pain in the ass but I'll explain that in a moment.
   
4. Made it to the gym on Sunday afternoon and got a great workout. If I'm not exhausted I'll make it to the gym this morning, too. I know I'm going to try to go all week if possible.
   

:(

1. I ate way too much crap over the weekend. I'm not totally blaming Davina, but let's just say it's hard to diet when hanging out with certain friends. LOL Love ya Davs!
   
2. Oh god serious automation issues during my shift Sunday morning. Lots of running back and forth between studios playing CDs and climbing up a computer rack like a monkey. Great aerobic exercise.
   
3. I told Sandi I would meet her and Scott for some Porky's Pizza on Sunday afternoon, but they called while I was napping. I totally missed it and I feel bad. Don't worry girl. Like I said, I'll buy you a froofie drink with an umbrella in it when we're in Honolulu later this month. No worries.
   

This is what it's like driving in traffic with Davina. Warning: Michael Jackson, and explicit language included.

TGIF

whoopee

1. Thank God It's Friday!! Tonight I'm probably laying low and staying home to make Pina Coladas and watch Miami Vice. I really haven't gotten enough rest this week so I really need to take it easy. Saturday I'm hanging with Davina, probably shopping at Stoneridge or something.
   
2. My mom gave me an almost new blender Thursday evening. Michelle claimed it was broken but she just didn't know how to detach the pitcher portion from the machine. Now I can make pina coladas, margaritas, and milkshakes/smoothies. So awesome.
   
3. Went to the gym on Wednesday and Thursday morning, and I'm planning to go after work this morning as well. I'm so glad I'm getting back into the swing of things after missing the gym earlier in the week.
   
4. Mom said I looked like my back was getting smaller. That compliment helped my self-confidence a lot since I've felt like a fat ass lately.
   

ugh

1. Got in a stupid argument with a good friend last night. I don't know why she was so on edge last night and bringing up old stuff, but oh well. I like to let sleeping dogs lie. Whatever, we're still great friends anyway. Least I consider her a great friend.
   
2. It's still SO HARD to lose weight. My clothes are getting loose, but the pounds won't go away. Grrrr. Someday I'll hit 200 and go under that.
   

lisa the glutton

yay

1. Hung out Mike P, one of my old friends who I haven't seen in a few years. He was visiting from Oregon. We went to lunch at El Torito on Tuesday. Boy was it tasty. We sat and ate, shooting the shit for a few hours. Later on in the evening I went to dinner with Cathy and Amy at Olive Garden. Today I basically pigged out, I admit it. Now I DEFINITELY have to hit the gym this morning after work, no excuses.
   
2. I had some nice sexy dreams about my TV boyfriend Matthew Gray Gubler and Shemar Moore his hot costar. Okay they actually weren't so explicit, just when it was getting good with Shemar (whispering things in my ear), I woke up. Dammit. *sigh*
3. Later today I have a jock meeting and we're eating yummy mexican food. Yummy evil food two days in a row, hooray.
   
4. Mom went to the doctor on Monday morning. She has an infection in her good leg, but she caught it in time. She's taking antibiotics 4 times a day, I'm so glad she's getting better.
   

grrr

1. I haven't made it to the gym since last Friday morning. I was planning on going Tuesday morning, but I was exhausted and had just finished a 9 1/2 hour shift. That plus I knew I had to get up in 5 hours anyway to meet Mike for lunch. I am definitely going today, Thursday and Friday if it kills me.
   
2. My hormones are driving me nuts, I'm a walking progesterone factory. I've been bloated for the last few days, and my emotions are nuts. Cathy said something rather mundane at dinner and I started crying for no reason. So weird. That and my sexy dreams lately too. Haha.
   

Loads of fun

good..

1. Had a blast watching the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie on Friday night with Noelle. The graphics were awesome and the plotline was pretty cool. Afterwards we went back to my house and watched some Jeff Foxworthy with Cathy, Amy, and TJ. Those three left around 11pm and Noelle and I just watched TV for an hour before I took her home. Good night overall.
   
2. Saturday I was out all day. After I got out of work at noon I met Davina, Anna and Valeria at the Museum of Modern Art there in San Francisco. I had never been there, and it was really neat. I thought it would be boring but I ended up learning a lot. I got a cool new Etch-A Sketch like toy. Then we went shopping at Virgin Megastore and a few other places for a while. Around 5pm we met up with Lorie and went to a Vietnamese vegetarian resturaunt. I was kinda expecting the food to be gross, but it was really good. I had sweet and sour "chicken" (which was really tofu), and it was tasty. I also had some rice, and wonton soup. After dinner we had ice cream at this laundromat/ice cream parlor/internet cafe. Only in San Fran.. LOL. Then we did karaoke in Japantown for a few hours, and headed home. Great eventful day.
   
3. Looks like this week is going to be full and fast paced. Between taking parents and a family dog to doctor/vet appointments, working overtime, going to meetings at work and catching up with old friends who are droppin into town, I hope I'll get enough sleepytime. I'm hoping to hit the gym on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday if all goes well. Depends on my work situation.
   

oh geez

1. My mom's had a sore on her good leg that just keeps getting worse and worse. We're taking her to the doctor later this morning. Either that or the emergency room.
   
2. Brad's got a family emergency goin on, so he can't come in today. I'm picking up Victoria around 7:45 and she's working 8am-8pm. I'm coming in early tonight and working 8pm-7am. Nice long shifts. Hope everything's okay in Brad's neck of the woods.
   

TGIF

hooray

1. It's the weekend!! WOOOOOOOO! Tonight I'm going to see the new Ninja Turtles movie with Noelle. Saturday I'm working in the morning then going to SF MOMA with Davina and pals, dinner, then karaoke. Awesomeness. I gotta work Sunday morning, but oh well.
   
2. Went to the gym yesterday morning, and I'm going again today. Hope it's paying off.
   
3. Went grocery shopping Thursday evening, got more veggies, milk, eggs and cereal. Good stuff.
   

grrr

1. Some stupid guy on a message board was talking about KDFC flipping to active rock and dropping the classical format. Haha. You know how much money Entercom would lose? Moving on..
2. I have 3 monster zits right now. Damn hormones.
   
3. I'm still a fatty mcfat fat. My metabolism sucks.
   

My car sucks booty

yay

1. Went to the gym on Monday morning, and I'm going today for a mini workout. I should also go on Thursday and Friday as well.
   
2. I actually fit into the NKOTB shirts Kimmie gave me over the weekend. I so thought I was going to be too fat.
   
3. Got a new friend request from a nice lady from South Africa. She says I show a lot of joy in my smile. That made my day. I love making new online pals.
   

boooo

1. My car died yesterday morning on the way to the gym after work. A nice taxi pushed me to the other end of the intersection so I could pull over and get out of the way. I had to wait about 40 minutes for the tow truck and I had to pee like hell the whole time. That's what I get for drinking lots of coffee at work. The tow driver was uber nice by the way. He told me a story about some girl at his daughter's school that is 11 years old and pregnant. Isn't that insane? Anyway I got towed to Pepboys and got a new battery and alternator. I'm praying to God that this solves my car probs.
   
2. I still feel like such a fatass lately I swear. I watched a video that Kimmie and I made over the weekend in Lodi, and I'm still hella huge. Seems like no matter how much I exercise and what I do/don't eat, I'm still a fatty. Grrrr. I have the metabolism of a sloth, I swear.

top of the mornin to ya!

whoopee

1. Went shopping and to dinner with Amy on Friday night. I picked up the wall charger for my iPod, and Davina's bday present. We also had yummy Mexican food at On The Border. Then we went back to my place, and soon Cathy, TJ, Jeff and Alicia came over. We all had a few drinks, some more than others. It was lots of fun. Saturday I hung out with Kimmie in Lodi. We went to Kmart and Big Lots, then came home and watched Supergirl. It was tons of fun.
   
2. I ended up walking 6 miles on Saturday with Kimmie. We underestimated the Mapquest directions to Kmart, and it took like 2 hours to get there on foot. Kimmie has Cerebral Palsy and is in a wheelchair, and many sidewalks in Lodi are NOT wheelchair compliant. I smell a letter to the city brewing. I'm adding this as something good that happened simply because I got lots of exercise.
   
3. Oh yeah on Saturday morning I didn't work in San Francisco, I took my folks to get the taxes done instead. I'm getting back over $500, which is awesome for me. Whoohooooo.
   
4. I had a fairly decent radio show yesterday morning. Plus Tricia hooked me up with a KKIQ coffee mug. Awesomeness.
   
5. I got my housecleaning done yesterday. Turbo left me subtle hints on the floor diguised as turds last night, telling me he was dissatisfied with his litterbox. So yeah I changed it, cleaned my bathroom and kitchen, straightened my desk, swept the floor, dusted, changed my bedsheets, all that fun stuff. Today I will have time for the gym, and I'm planning on going all week long, if I can. That will be totally rad.
   

ugh

1. Okay yes I have to mention the 6 mile journey with Kimmie on Saturday again. Yes I did get exercise, but the fact that the city's streets are not wheelchair friendly sucks major ass. Also their bus system stops running at 5pm, which is dumb. And their dial-a-ride (dial-a-shit) sucks.
   
2. I still feel like a fatty mcfat fat. I think my problem is that I've lost almost 30 lbs but you can't tell my looking at me. I've worn the same size shirt and pants since high school when I was 180. Until I really lose like 20-30 more lbs, no one will notice. I think my fat face is what makes it hard. Grrr.
   

lisa's car sucks

yippee

1. TGIF!! Today is Friday, and the weekend is here. Not a moment too soon. Tonight I'm hanging with Amy, and Noelle, Cathy and TJ may be joining us. I'm going to be drinking some rum + Dr. Pepper for sure. Saturday I'm taking my mom to do her taxes and then I'm going to Lodi to kick it with Kimmie for the afternoon/evening. I always have a blast with her, she's a great friend.
   
2. Went to the gym on Wednesday and Thursday morning, and I'm going this morning as well. I'm doing so much better with staying on track.
   
3. Bought lots of veggies at Albertsons on Thursday night, and more yogurt/cottage cheese. Good eats.
   

Blah

1. Some mean kids on Myspace were writing mean "fat" comments on some of my videos. Yes I know they're like 12 years old and plain mean, but it still hurts anyway. Stupid punkasses.
   
2. My car is still having issues. The dealer finally gave me the car back on Wednesday morning and couldn't find anything wrong with it. Uh huh. Car died again Thursday morning at the car wash. Had to get it jumpstarted. Pepboys said they could keep it for a few days, but I need my car dammit. So I bought a portable charger to put in my car, so I can charge the battery myself. I hate my car.
