What's up folks? I'm tired. You'll figure out why in a minute. Okay so Wednesday morning I did go to the gym (yay for me!) and did the usual Walmart-Lucky-Petsmart-Starbucks run. We don't hit up Petsmart that often but my dad's dog Happy is on a special diet because of allergies so he has to eat special food, and they were running low. Anyway, I managed to get about 7 hours of sleep on Wednesday, and that was awesome. I woke up around 7pm because Cathy/TJ were making dinner and it smelled great, plus TJ finally brought home the newest additions to our family. Their names are Buster
and Prada
They seem like really nice dogs. After I was already up I took a shower and ate dinner, and watched a lot of TV, then came to work. Now my schedule today was a bit nuts. I worked earlier at Traffic from 3-7pm, and I'm working here from 7:30pm-7am. That's why I'm a bit bushed.
I'm not too bad though, since I'm extra excited about my weekend at Kimmie's house and my Vegas trip next week. I will be blogging early on Monday morning since I have that overnight shift hours before I leave. Fun, yes I know. Oh on a fantastic note, I'll have my camera back by the trip. I should have had it back today, but FedEx tried to deliver it approximately 10 minutes after I left for work and no one was home. They require a signature, boo. I may be able to pick it up at the FedEx headquarters here in Oakland tomorrow evening. If I would have checked on it online I coulda picked it up in between jobs a few hours ago, it's right down the street. You suck, FedEx!! Anyway yeah, I'll have my camera back for the trip.. and I didn't have time to call Gateway and bother them during business hours today since I was busy at my other job. I've gotta call and bitch again tomorrow.
Okay toodles for now. I'll blog about my 80stastic weekend on Monday. I'm going to eat this chicken parmigiana Healthy Choice meal and keep myself busy, maybe take a nappy poo.
Heidi ho neighbors. It's the middle of the week, yo. Not too much going on. Monday I slept, worked, went to Claimjumper with Michelle, and worked again. Tuesday I slept, worked, went walking with Cathy, did housework, made dinner and watched a little TV, then came here. I know it's extremely thrilling.
One thing I am overjoyed about is that I'm borrowing Amy's camera for Vegas. So I will have awesome pics and video. I promise I won't break it. If I break it, I buy it. This has been one less thing to worry about. My camera is still in Illinois being repaired and it'll probably get mailed back to my house while I'm in Vegas. Great timing. Still waiting on the fr#$%in software. It's been shipped, but how long does it take to mail two CDs? I'll try to get another update from Gateway soon.
Today I'm hitting the gym after work (finally) then it's grocery time. We need a lot of stuff, it seems. Oh well. Okay well I need to make a grocery list and take a semi-snooze in a bit. It's one of my 24 hour days, literally.. so any nap I can take is a good one.
Hey there homie G's. I'm back from my weekend. It was pretty fun. Friday afternoon I worked at Traffic then took Michelle and Dad to Applebee's in Alameda for dinner. Then I had time to come home and chill for about an hour before coming to work here. It was TJ's bday so there were lots of people, pizza and booze at my place. I was so bummed that I had to work on a night where a great party was taking place. Oh well, guess it kept me out of trouble in the long run, and I made 8 hours of overtime in the process. Right after I got off that job, I took BART to San Fran to work at KDFC until 1pm. Then I promptly I went home and CRASHED. I was so exhausted. I was up for 25 hours, and working 19 of them. I totally fell asleep on BART but woke up a stop before mine, at the Coliseum. So later that evening I woke up around 9pm and made myself some supper and watched TV until about 1am, then went back to bed. That was my Saturday.
Sunday morning I woke up at 8:30am, got ready, then Cathy and I picked up Michelle and Dad and headed on up to Sebastopol to visit Mom's grave and go to the Gravenstein Apple Fair. We made a few stops along the way, to get gas and Starbucks of course. Visiting mom and my other dead relatives was bittersweet, but it was still good to be physically close to where she is, if that makes any sense. I mean spiritually she's not there, but you know what I mean. The apple fair was okay. We honestly only stayed about an hour, if that. It was mostly dirt and leaves everywhere, and very rugged terrain to push Dad's chair around in. The arts and crafts people sold were overpriced, but the food prices weren't bad at all compared to other fairs, rock concerts, etc. Corn dogs were only $4, could have been worse. That's what Cathy and I had for lunch. So nutritional, I know. Then we headed on home, not before stopping at Starbucks again. Hahaha. Yeah my family has a caffeine problem, can you tell? Later on at home, I forced Cathy to watch some cheesy movies with me. Boltneck (starring Matthew Lawrence featuring my man Judge Reinhold with Shelly Duvall.. haha), and then Little Giants with the commentary from Icebox and the director. Cathy gave me a makeover during Little Giants and took pics of me with Amy's camera which we borrowed since mine is being fixed. I hated most of my pics because of my numerous chins. I hate my chins. I think I need to exercise more. I work so much and when I'm not working I'm trying to get enough sleep. I actually did some Taebo type exercising a while ago before I started blogging just to get my heart rate up, hope it helped. So after I kept on complaining about my chins, Cathy decided to go on a walk with me to the duck pond and I felt better. We decided to do more exercise together when I can (plus I go to the gym like twice a week.. well I try to), and I need to buy an Allen wrench so I can adjust the seat on my new bike and finally ride it. So I'm going to try to be healthier and exercise, but it's way too hard when I work 60 hour weeks and go random places on weekends where people say "It's okay Lisa, live a little." Very frustrating. I was also promised fewer treats sitting around the kitchen, but I'll see about that. Okay that was my weekend story/rant, now to do more surveys or something, maybe take a nap. Oh yeah, one week till VEGAS!!!!
What's up homie G's? Not much here. Let's see on Wednesday morning I drug myself to the gym even though I was exhausted. Then we hit Walmart for half the grocery shopping, the UPS Store so I could ship my stupid broken camera back to Illinois, and Lucky for the other groceries. Then Starbucks of course. I got about 6 hours of sleep, then Cathy woke me up since I promised I'd take her to dinner. We went to Chevy's (they serve Mexican food in case you didn't know), and it was very tasty. Later on in the evening I watched a lot of Scrubs and some other stuff on TV, then came to work. Thursday I should have gone to the gym. I was very exhausted after getting 6 hours or less of sleep for 3 days in a row. So I opted for crashing at home after putting clothes in the dryer and cleaning the litterbox. Fun. When I woke up around 5pm TJ invited me to join him and Cathy for dinner at The Englander in San Leandro. There was live music there (old dudes playing blues) and Alisha showed up too. We had a lot of fun. Then I came home, showered, and watched lots of TV before coming to work here. I'm glad I had time to rest and veg out for once.
Now normally I'd be giddy since this is usually my "Friday". I not only have to work this afternoon at Traffic which I don't mind, but I'm working an extra shift here tonight for Yuriy the weekend guy. I need the money, and he's covering for me at the end of this month when I'm going to L.A. Fair is fair. So I have to get up at 1:30pm this afternoon and work in Emeryville, go home and eat/chill for 3 hours, work here until 7am, then drive to San Leandro BART and go to San Fran and work there until 1pm. Then that afternoon I will go home and SLEEP. A LOT. That's my whole Saturday night in a nutshell. Sunday we're all going to the Apple Fair in Sebastopol and it'll be awesome. I haven't gone in like 20 years, since mom and grandma took me. I'll bring my bootsy backup camera that takes incredibly blurry pictures and see what I can do with that. Cathy has a camera phone, and we may borrow Amy's camera if she can find her charger. If not, no big deal. I want to see clowns. And llamas. I'm excited. See y'all on Monday.
What's up homie G's? Nothing too exciting here, just working my booty off as always. Monday I slept, got up, worked, then took Michelle and Dad to dinner at Chilis. It was pretty yummy. Then I went to work again. Oooh. Tuesday I slept, got up, worked, came home and ate dinner, watched some TV and came here. As you can see, I'm just following the same old routine.
I spent way too much time on the phone Tuesday afternoon. I checked up on my software and it's been shipped so I'll get it any day now. That means I'll have my computer back soon enough. Thank God. Then I had to call T-Mobile since they had a mix up with the payment I did last week. After calling my bank and calling T-Mobile again, things were straightened out. I also took Michelle's phone off my plan so I'll be paying $20 less every month. Oh and then I forgot about the best part. While taking pics Tuesday morning, my camera decided to take a crap. Cathy was actually the one using it but I'm sure it isn't operator error. It keeps saying "lens error" and the lens won't go back into the camera, while it makes a weird noise. I talked to the folks at Canon, and now I'm UPSing my camera out this morning to be repaired. Kinda sucks but at least it's under warranty. The bummer is that I probably won't have my camera back by my Vegas trip. I have my old camera which takes very blurry pics, and Davina's bringing her camera. Plus no pics from the Apple Fair this weekend. Booo. It seems like one thing after another, I swear.
Besides visiting the UPS Store, this morning I'm going to hit the gym, and take my folks for the usual Walmart/Lucky run. I may take a quick snooze here at work since I'm exhausted and I'll be up until like 1pm. Oy vey.
What's up my homies? I had fun this weekend. I'm tired and sunburned, but that's okay. It was well worth it. Friday morning I should have gone to the gym, but I had last minute errands to run and I wanted to get enough sleep, so I skipped out. I'm bad. In the afternoon I drove to Stockton and met Sandi at her house. We went to dinner at BJ's. That place is awesome, and the pizuki was off the hook. Later on at her house I tried really hard to fall asleep but it was hot and my body just wouldn't let me. I didn't get much sleep that night but oh well.
Saturday was awesome times times infinity. Really it was. We did have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn (5am) since we had to be in Tracy by 6:30am to meet up with Sandy, one of Sandi's pals. When we were getting gas in Tracy I had to poo really bad and went at the McDonalds across the street and got myself an iced coffee. Yes I like sharing my poo stories. Everyone does it, people. Anyway after that we met up at Sandy's house since she was driving us down to Monterey, where the concert was at. It was a 2 hour drive from there and I nursed my drink the whole way, I needed it to wake myself up. We finally got there sometime in the late morning after making a few stops along the way. There was so much to do. We walked around and looked at vendors, got food and stuff. They had a great deal where if you buy a cup of lemonade or iced tea for $6, you could get unlimited refills. We definitely took advantage of that. Anyway I had a BBQ chicken sandwich for lunch, and later on I had a chicken burrito for dinner. Further on in the evening I had bread pudding for dessert. Yum! I also bought a neat shirt that says "High five if you love Jesus!" which I'm wearing right now. Plus we met Bob and Larry from Veggietales. We're so mature, I know. The musical acts we actually watched were Todd Agnew, Aaron Shust (who I met last year in Modesto), Superchick who I really like, Kutless and the headliner of the night, Newsboys. During their breakfast song we threw a box of Capn Crunch randomly at each other since that's a tradition. Everyone did it despite someone some dude randomly telling people earlier that we can't. Oh well. We cleaned up some of our mess, but it was impossible to clean it all. Oh yeah after Newsboys we saw stand-up comedy from Gary King (up and comer but he's awesome!) and Bob Smiley. I always want to call him Guy Smiley for some reason. He doesn't look like him, oh well. All in all I had a fantastic time and felt a real connection with God. Oh I almost forgot. I signed up up to sponsor a child in Africa. I get to write to her and send her my picture and everything, I'm real excited about that. I have so much that I'm blessed to have and I take it for granted, while kids in third world countries and physically and spiritually starving. I wanna make a difference. I feel like singing MJ's "Man In The Mirror". Haha.
Sunday was pretty low key. We didn't get back to Stockton until about 3am, and I crashed there at Sandi's until around 8. Then I went to Mcdonalds for some breakfast and iced coffee, and headed on home. Once back in the good old SLZ I did some housework, took a shower, and watched The Meeksville Ghost starring Judge Reinhold of course and then some of Scrubs season 3. Then I napped for a very long time, woke up and made dinner, then watched Hot Shots! and napped again. This week I'm working 68 hours so I need all the rest I can get. I posted new pics on my page, Sandi sent them to me. As soon as I get the computer back, you all know I'll hundreds of pics to post from over the last few months. Okay gotta scrounge up some food, I'm hungry.
Heidi ho neighbors. What's crackin? Not much here. Let's see Wednesday I did the same old routine. Slept, worked at Traffic, then I went to Davina's house and we went over our plans for Vegas. They're all set and I can't wait! Later on I went home and worked on some laundry, did some dishes, cleaned the litterbox and made supper. Then I watched TV and went to work. Thursday was grocery day. I should have gone to the gym but I was exhausted and I had to be home before noon since the Roto Rooter guy was coming to unclog the sink. I actually got home before 11am miraculously, and had time to put groceries away, put stuff in the dryer and veg out and watch some TV for a change. Roto Rooter man came and got the sink unclogged by 12:30pm, and I was in bed asleep by 1pm. I got 8 glorious hours of sleep, it was great.
This weekend should be totally awesome. I'm hanging out with Sandi tonight and sleeping over at her house, because we're leaving for Monterey with one of her work pals around 6am on Saturday. Spirit West Coast is kinda like a Lollapalooza/Warped Tour for Christian rock, in a nutshell. It's a 3 day long event but we're only going on the last day, which is fine. We'll be there all day and I'll be back at home sometime very early on Sunday morning. I may miss church, but oh well. Sunday I'm supposed to meet with my cousin Kim about a CD I'm making for her in the next month or so. We're probably gonna hang out and do lunch somewhere, I guess. Well see ya later folks, I'm gonna finish the rest of my breakfast here and chill out.
I'm baaaaack. Yeah it's only been a few days, but oh well. Life's been pretty busy. Monday I went home after work, slept, got up, showered, went to work, came home, did housework, ate dinner while watching Scrubs, then went to work again. Tuesday I did exactly the same thing. I did contact Gateway again, and boy am I pissed. I had received this funky email from a customer service person who had terrible grammatical skills. My first instinct was that some scam artist hacked my account or something, because it looked like some dude from Nigeria had written it, it was that bad. Well I called their customer service dept and after 20 min on hold I talked to "Maria" who informed me that I owed $3.07 for shipping and handling on my software and there was a hold on my order. I asked her when I should expect my software and she said she wasn't sure, up to a month. Then I blew up. I got MAD. It takes a lot to piss me off. I went off and told her about how I ordered the software in early June, how they lost my order and then found it again. I asked why they didn't charge me the $3 a month and a half ago, and she had no good answer. Finally I hung up on her and wrote a nasty email to Gateway in complaint. I'm going to continue calling them once a day and emailing constantly so they know my voice is heard. I am not waiting another month for these jerkholes to get their shit together. Pardon the language but I'm mad. Seriously. If I were rich I'd say screw all this and buy a new computer, but I'm not that crazy. It crossed my mind, though.
In other news, Davina and I are planning to go to Vegas the middle of next month. I'm so excited. And I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it. Ohhh yeeeah! Sorry, couldn't help that one. All my jobs gave me the time off, we're gonna sit down and plan stuff this evening. If I can get that Sunday night off too, we can get a 6am flight out of Oakland and get there by 10am. We'll save $80 on our package. I'm gonna sweet talk my boss this morning, I'll let y'all know how that pans out. Hee hee.
Hello boys and girls. I'm back from my weekend, and it was pretty busy. To say the least. Friday morning I hit the gym with Michelle then went and visited Fernando at Pac N Save. Then later on Friday evening I went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse with Fern, Grace, Joey and a few of their friends. I had an awesome time and Fernando is a major dweeb. That's why he's one of my best friends. Then we sat around his house talking about the good old days. Oh and I got Roadhouse 66 starring Judge Reinhold and William Defoe, it was pretty okay. A little nudity, and Defoe is hot in that young creepy greasy kinda way.
Saturday I worked at KDFC as usual. I actually had to do most of my shift in a production studio and I had plenty of busy work. I'm not concerned since I'm paid to do my job, not surf Myspace all morning. Haha. Then I met Davina there in San Fran and we had lunch at Blondie's Pizza. Whole wheat vegetarian. Yummy. We were supposed to go to a movie there inside of Westfield Mall (?) by Union Square but there was some sort of power outage and that part of the mall was closed. We discovered this after going up 5 floors worth of escalators and becoming very confused. Then we decided to go back to the east bay and see Stepbrothers in Dublin. Before the movie we got ice cream at Fuddruckers, and discovered there was a Cold Stone right next door, which has much better ice cream. Oh well. Stepbrothers was an awesome movie. Okay there was a lot of cussing, and some male nudity. It was awesome in that stupid way. Several of the things both Will Ferrell and John C Reilly's characters do remind me of myself and Davina. It was great and worth the hassle to see it. Later on in the evening I took Michelle and Dad to Applebee's in Alameda. My stomach was kinda funky from greasy popcorn at the movies so I blew up the bathroom at Borders. Why am I telling you guys? Well it's my blog and I can write what I want. So HA!
Sunday morning I did go to church, I love Faith Fellowship. Their worship team is like a toned down Earth Wind and Fire. Sure they do quiet songs but the loud ones get my blood pumpin. One of the ushers who is always glad to see me called me "Sunshine". Hee Hee. Then Michelle, Dad and I spontaneously decided to go to the San Francisco Zoo. We always say we'll take Dad to the zoo, but we never end up going. It was so much fun. The tiger cubs were the cutest. I took tons of pics so of course once the computer's back (hopefully this week) they'll be posted. It took an hour and a half to get back to San Leandro, which is insane. Dad had to pee the whole time. Something tells me it would have been easier to take 1o1 south to 92 and just come from Hayward. Oh well. We had Jack In Da Crack for dinner. I had chicken pieces and a fruit cup. Yum. I took an hour long nap earlier, but I'm still pooped as heck.
This week is going to be crazy as heck. Lots of work, and a concert on the weekend. All next month is going to be crazy too. I'm hoping to get more time off. Davina and I have badass plans if I do. Yay!!
What's up my homies? Me again, so happy it's Friday. The week went by pretty fast, which was awesome. Wednesday morning I hit the gym and did grocery shopping, then went home and put stuff away, did some housework. I was up for like 24 hours straight. Just to let you guys know, running on a treadmill after being up 20 hours or so is not advisable. I was feeling very weird/tired to say the least.
Thursday morning I hit the gym again, went home, ate breakfast, and watched VH1 Classic and Different Strokes on BET. I tried napping but I just wasn't tired. I had to go to Traffic for a boringass conference call at 11, and yes it was boring. If I hadn't been drinking iced coffee I would have fallen asleep. Then I went home and slept until about 7:30, got up and watched Scrubs, took a shower, made dinner, and watched more Scrubs commentary episodes. Now I'm here. So thrilling, huh?
This weekend should be chill. See I always use "chill" as a verb but lately I've seen people use it as an adjective so that's what I'm doing. Anyway, tonight I'm not sure what's up just yet. May go to the movies, or might just stay home and chill with Cathy, watching movies. Same on Saturday, except that I have to work in the morning and I'll be hitting the gym in the afternoon. Sunday I'm planning on going back to church and hitting the gym too. Might as well. I'm sure I'll have a fun story or two when I blog on Monday morning. Okay later skaters.
Hello homie Gs.. it's the middle of the week. Whoopee. As usual, not too much going on. Monday I slept, got up, worked, came home and made dinner, watched Scrubs, and went to the fulltime gig.
I did pretty much the same thing on Tuesday. Only a few differences. I called and barked to Gateway again (while at work at Traffic) and it turns out they screwed up my order, and it's coming next week. *sigh* I'm going to write a lovely email to them in a bit letting them know just how thrilled I am that it's taken so freaking long for a set of restore disks. Good god. Also on Tuesday evening after working at Traffic I picked up Michelle and we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. That place is so goooooood. I think it's the fresh yummy bread that lures me in. I had chicken mushroom portabello with a house salad and steamed veggies. It was off the hook. For reals.
Not much planned in the next few days. I'm going to hit up the gym at least 3-4 times the rest of this week, Lord willing. I need the exercise. This morning is grocery day so that's cool. Oh and I have to attend a stupid conference call on Thursday morning. That's about it. Now I'm off to make a shopping list. Peace! *putting up 2 fingers sideways so I can look gangsta*
Hey there homey G's. I'm back from the weekend. Yay. Not. Oh well it's not that bad. I'm only working 55 hours this week, so I'm cool. Let's see what did I do over the weekend? Friday afternoon/evening I worked at my Emeryville job and stayed a bit late since there was a freeway closure in Sacramento. Fun stuff. Then I hung out with Cathy and Amy. We ate Taco Bell and drove around the Oakland hills just like old times. Then TJ called and had a surprise for Cathy, he got her a new kittycat! His name is JD, he's Siamese and very cute. He was found outside of a bar in San Lorenzo and since Jack Daniels is Cathy's liquor of choice, that was the reason behind the kitty's name. He's so cute! I can't wait to get a pic on here. Spencer was a bit wary at first, but now they're great friends. We spent the rest of the evening playing with JD and watching Intensity (that scary John McGinley serial killer movie).
Saturday I worked in the city, then hit the gym and got a serious workout. I actually jogged for 10 minutes and walked for 15. For me that's a lot. Then I went home and spent the rest of the evening relaxing and torturing Cathy with bad 80s stuff. First we watched The Muppets Take Manhattan, then Off Beat (that bad Judge Reinhold on rollerskates pretending to be a cop movie) and Ghostbusters II. Oh yeah, before we watched movies, we went to TJ's friends house and were introduced to some doggie friends that are joining our family in the next week two. Buster is a giant black dog who weighs at least 100 lbs and he's just big and stupid. He slobbered all over us. I forgot the name of the other doggie but she's a female pit bull and seemed lovable as well. So soon there'll be 3 humans, 2 cats and 2 dogs living in our home. Talk about full house. Anyway after Ghostbusters II, I was still on a Rick Moranis kick so I watched Honey I Shrunk The Kids in my room and fell asleep. Haha.
Sunday morning I was really exhausted, and slept in until 9:30. I had a semi-busy day ahead. I picked up Michelle and Dad, got gas and Starbucks, then dropped Dad off at my house. Then we headed on out to Livermore so my cousin Kim's son Joshua could get dedicated. Kinda like a baptism, only no water. The ceremony was for 10 kids total and was kinda boring. Then we hung out with Uncle Jim, Aunt Brenda, Terry, her husband Dave and their daughter Caden while Kim ran around everywhere. We had fun but my uncle talks A LOT. I also some funny pics too. I like seeing our relatives, even though all of us talk too much. Then Michelle and I went to Stoneridge. I got a shirt from Hot Topic and was bad and got a sundae at Haagen Dazs since I had a coupon. I'm awful. Then back to my house to get Dad and take him home, then I finally had time to relax and home, watch some Scrubs on DVD and take a nap for a few hours. And now I'm here. Yay.
What's up folks? It's me, back again. Nothing too thrilling going on. Wednesday I didn't get to bed until way late. After I got off work I hit the gym, did the shopping at Walmart and Lucky, went back to my parents' house to sort out groceries, went by the bank to deposit a check, stopped by the dentist since I owed her money, then Walmart called and my glasses were finally ready. Then I got home and had to put away all the groceries, feed the cat, scoop his litterbox and start some laundry. I was exhausted. I woke up later that night and I was still tired, I hate it when that happens.
Thursday wasn't too bad. I worked at my other job, then came home and put away laundry and ate dinner. Then I watched The Boys And Girls Guide To Getting Down. It was basically a mockumentary of hipsters who live in L.A. who do too many drugs and sleep around. What's kinda scary is that way too many people have the mentality that it's okay. Obviously the movie was a satire and over exaggerated things, but still kinda gives out the wrong message It's not okay to sleep with random people. It's not okay to get drunk, then smoke weed or snort coke on top of it. It's not really okay to get drunk. I haven't gotten "drunk" in about 6 years now. I have a few drinks on a Friday night or something, but that's it. I also keep my legs closed. I've had way too much temptation but I've been sex free for over 2 years and counting. I also can't dress like some wannabe fashionista, and I'm way too fat to get into a trendy party if I tried. The movie had some really funny parts, but still I don't like the message it was sending to the twentysomethings out there. Seriously.
I found a quote online from Judge Reinhold, least it's on his website. He's an actor, and a Christian, and seems to be a pretty cool one. "Hollywood is the most socially skilled but relationally retarded city on earth." That pretty much surmises up most of the media and what it portrays, doesn't it? Any thoughts??
After that I started watching Intensity, a movie based on a Dean Kootz novel. I only wanted to see it since John C. McGinley who plays Dr. Cox on Scrubs is the scary bad guy. I've only watched about 30 min of it so far, and it's scary. Hence why I almost never watch freaky violent movies. They give me weird dreams. Not funny weird, but scary weird.
My weekend will hopefully be kinda laid back. I gotta work at Traffic.com in the afternoon, then home to relax and chill with Cathy. Saturday I got KDFC then the gym, then I want to go do housework and veg out at home. Sunday we're missing church again but my cousin's son's dedication is at some church in Livermore so I'll be attending that instead. Sorry Davina, between Lodi weekends and family stuff I haven't gone to church in like a month. I'm hoping to go a week from Sunday though. Yay.
What's up my homies? Nothing much here, really. Been working, taking my family places, and trying to get rest in between. Monday I worked in Emeryville, came home, ate dinner, watched The Story Of The Cross (good story but told in a very cheesy way by Judge Reinhold), came to work here. I actually had work here yesterday morning. A few probs overseas and stuff. Oh well.
Yesterday after work I hit the gym, then got my oil changed. Then we picked up Dad and hit up Starbucks, where some schizophrenic lady was having a very loud conversation with herself. I shouldn't have found it funny but I did since she kept mentioning Sharon Stone, and Dad kept asking loudly "what the hell was wrong with her". Hey those were his words, not mine. Haha. After that we went to Worley's to pick up some pillboxes for Dad, least I think that's what we were there for. By that time I had been up about 19 hours and frankly didn't care, and napped in the car. Then I drove them home and went to bed. Later on I woke up, showered and took them to dinner at Applebee's in Alameda. Dad hadn't been there before, and fortunately he liked it. Then we browsed at Borders, I dropped them off, went home and relaxed for about 45 minutes and came to work.
Today I'll be going to the gym again, then doing the weekly grocery run. I'm letting Michelle know that I am resting the rest of the day. No dinner outings, I need SLEEP. REST. PLEASE. I also let her know that Friday evening I'd like to relax at home with my other sister and watch Zoobilee Zoo. I love my family but I need "Lisa time" or my head will explode. I'm sure you guys understand.
And.. I'm back. My weekend was fun as always. Friday evening I worked at Traffic.com then went to dinner at Applebee's in Alameda with Michelle, and browsed at Borders for a bit. Then I took her to Emeryville to show her where I work. Later on I came home and hit the hay. I was tired as you can imagine.
Saturday was my usual job in San Francisco, then off to Lodi for 80stastic fun with Kimmie. First order of business was watching No One Would Tell starring Fred Savage as a very possessive and abusive boyfriend of Candace Cameron's. He ends up killing her in the end, it's horrible. After that traumatic event we went for dinner at Rick's Pizza down the street. Very tasty. Then we stopped at the House of Coffee for dessert. I love iced mochas. We have some INTERESTING vlogs from this adventure, and when my computer is back in my possession and I'm actually awake enough to upload things, I'll edit it all together. After our little field trip, we went back home to watch Promised A Miracle starring Judge Reinhold and Rosanna Arquette. It was good, and sad because it's a true story. That Fred Savage movie was a true story too. It's crazy what people have the capacity to do. Then we watched the beginning of Darkness Before Dawn starring Merdith Baxter-Birney, the queen of Lifetime movies and Movies Of The Week. Haha. We ended up conking out halfway through it, but oh well.
Sunday we woke up after about 9 hours of blissful sleep, made some coffee and finished the cinematic masterpiece of Darkness Before Dawn. Stephen Lang who played her also drug addicted husband (both of them had meth/heroin problems.. scary) had some jammin hair.. seriously. He looked like Kenny Loggins getting electrocuted. The most volumized hair/beard combo I've ever encountered. That movie ended and we took another field trip to A&W for lunch, where I took inappropriate pictures with the bear mascot. Then off to the 99 Cent store, where I found a 3 episode video of Zoobilee Zoo for 59 cents. Talk about a steal. When we got home I tortured her with Off Beat starring Judge Reinhold, Meg Tilly, and the bald principal from Back The To Future. Judge on rollerskates learning modern dance. Enough said. Then we watched one of my mother's faves, Not Without My Daughter starring Sally Field and Alfred Molina who portrays a major ass. That's putting it lightly. I'm glad Sally escaped. I saw this movie in 10th grade history class, and way too many times at home. Mom was a major Sally Field fan. It's a good story, and scary to see how women are treated in other countries. The movies we watched this weekend were just so full of drama, seriously. Last show of the night lightened things up a bit. I forced Kimmie to watch Judge Reinhold hosting Saturday Night Live with musical guests the 10,000 Maniacs. Boy that was interesting. All I can say really.
I was late for work again. This happened last time I went to Kimmie's. Traffic in Tracy sucks. Instead of just having that one area of construction in the middle of Tracy, there's another construction zone right on the bottom of the Altamont Pass as you're leaving the city. By the time I got back to San Lorenzo to grab food I was almost out of gas so I had to fill up. Then I got to work and clocked in like 45 min late (thanks Caltrans.. ugh) and took Victoria home. That's about it. Oh yeah, we had Taco Bell for dinner. I had my food from the "Fresco" menu so it was supposed to be lower in fat. I guess. Oh well, I'm back to my healthy eating tomorrow anyway. Okay off to go through bulletins and surveys and maybe take a semi-nap. Yay.
Catch phrases of the weekend. "Hi.. I'm Ted.. won't you sing with meeee?" "Welcome to Mandys N More, free adult diapers with every purchase." "Thanks cerebral palsy!!" "Oh my god it's a Jimmy Olson/Cheech Marin hybrid!" "Fitness Works (name of a gym there in town we passed).. not for us!!" "She looks like one of the Fly Girls from In Living Color.. seriously check the spandex."
Howdy doody!!! Me again, and as always thank God it's Friday. This week went by pretty quick. Let's see Wednesday was pretty uneventful. I didn't get in bed until about 1pm. Oh I finally got a hold of a human being at Gateway. Their software distributor had some sort of meltdown last week so all their orders are backed up. So.. I'm still waiting. *sigh* I did go to the gym on Wednesday morning, which is really rad.
Thursday was pretty cool. Except that I broke my glasses. I am such a freaking klutz, it's horrible. Well Spencer's the one who knocked them off my nightstand and I'm the one who rolled out of bed after hitting the alarm and stepped on them. They're pretty bent up, and I still wear them for driving. That's about it. So I'm seriously squinting right now but those frames are embarrassing. I have an appointment with the optometrist at Walmart early this afternoon, so I can get my eyes examined and pick out new frames. I hate it when this happens. I'm glad my work reimburses me 80%. Whew.
This weekend will be awesome beyond compare. Aside from the fact that I'm working this afternoon and Saturday morning, but no biggie. Oh plus the fact that I'm blind as a bat and my head hurts. I'll be going to Lodi for another 80stastic weekend. I have plenty of material to watch and so does Kimmie. Yay.
Oh here's a video from my bday party last month that Amy posted. I'll be uploading some pics that Amy just added to her page in a bit. Some of em are hilarious, especially my butt shot.
Word up homies! Me again just checking in, rocking out to Tears For Fears. Not too much excitement going on, since it's the middle of the week. Monday I worked both jobs, and ate/watched TV in between. Tuesday was pretty cool since I actually got a great workout at the gym, went home and mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors, then went to bed. I slept 9 hours. It was great. Then Michelle called and wanted to go out to eat, so we went to TGI Fridays. I was bad and had a chicken sandwich with both deep fried green beans and a house salad. I couldn't help myself, those green beans are awesome. Then I went home and watched some of Scrubs season 2 on DVD, then came here. Whoo excitement.
Oh yes update on the computer. STILL waiting on the software. I tried calling Gateway yesterday but fell asleep while I was on hold and they hung up on me. I will make it a point to try to stay awake until a human being comes on the line when I call later today. Since today is gym/grocery day, I probably won't be in bed until noon. I will call Gateway while sitting up so I'll have less of a chance of passing out. Hahahaha. I don't know if some of you realize it but I spend most of my waking hours on weekdays either running errands, asleep or at work.. so not much time to spend on hold with some automated lady telling me to enter my serial number. I do need this software so I can get my freakin computer back, mostly because I have TONS of pics and videos to upload. Oh well, it'll happen eventually.
Hey there homie g funks! Another work week. *sigh* I'm only working like 60 hours this week, which is like 10 hours less than last week. Yay! My weekend was pretty cool, lemme tell ya all about it. Friday I worked from 12:30 to 8pm at Traffic.com, and watched a lot of Montel Williams. I could have gone out and partied, but I'm an old woman now. I opted for going home to watch Earth Girls Are Easy, have a Kahlua with milk and head on to bed. Not too thrilling, I told you.
Saturday I did the KDFC gig, and I actually had to do a little work. Haha. Troubleshooting is fun, and one of my strong points. Then once I got back to the east bay I headed on over to the gym and did a massive one hour workout. 30 min of cardio, 30 min of conditioning. Mostly using the ab machine and doing arm work. My butt was hurting from jogging and my calves are already muscular enough. After sweating a gallon (or so it seemed), I went home to do housework, then took Dad and Michelle out to dinner. Red Robin again, it was tasty. Oh I was kinda bad. I bought a DVD/VCR combo for my room. The VCR that's built into my TV stopped working years ago, and my PS2 only works when it wants to. The combo was $76 with tax, so it could be worse I guess. Then I got 10% off on DVDs so I picked up Fast Times At Ridgemont High with the director/writer commentary, and The Muppets Take Manhattan. I know, I should save my money. *sigh* From now on I'm keeping a tighter reign on my dough, but it's rough. Least I have a place to watch my movies when TJ's watching Ocean's Thirteen or some crap like that. He gets irritated when he's trying to watch a movie, since I always include my own commentary, or ask 75,000 questions. I can't help it. You should watch movies with Kimmie and I. Now WE do commentary. Seriously. Anyway, after dinner and picking up my new toys at Circuit City, I went home and watched tons of movies, and didn't get in bed until like 1am.
Sunday I had the privilege of taking my older sister to Kaiser, since she had a lovely UTI. Again. This stole an hour of precious time away from my busy life. Dad was with us, he was in a relatively good mood. The reason Dad came along is because after Kaiser we drove up to Sebastopol to put flowers on Mom's grave, and our other dead relatives too. It was fun. Okay not really, it was sad/emotional. I like saying it's fun because we always go for lunch afterwards. We chose McDonalds since they have shakes and Dad can actually drink shakes without choking. I was a BAD GIRL. I had a grilled chicken club sandwich and FRIES. No salt on them, but still they were FRIES. Not apple slices. Bad Lisa *slapping own wrist*. Afterwards we tried to check out the flea market they had down the road, but they were packing up for the day. Oh well, next time. I need to find out when the Gravenstein Apple Fair is. We went to that quite often as a kid. I can't wait. So I drove my folks home, and went back to my house to nap and watch more movies. I rested for a bit, then Leeanne invited me for pizza at La Val's in Oakland with her and some other friends. Tricia and Kevin came too. I had gourmet vegetarian pizza, it was tasty. Then we hung out at some bar down the street, where Leeanne and her friend Matt played Guitar Hero while Tricia and I talked radio. Fun times for all. Well now I'm at work blogging and killing time. I'm going to be SO tired by the time I get home in the morning.
Happy 4th of July folks!! *Stars and Stripes Forever playing.. * Hooray for national holidays, and hooray for holiday pay. I'll be getting some for my shift over at Traffic.com this afternoon. Haha. I'm having weird emotional fluctuations today, I think it's my hormones. I'm either really happy, or really sad or pissed. It's great. I'm trying to stay on the happy end of it, for sure. I'm also really tired, but I may take a half nap later on. I'm only sleeping like 3 1/2 hours this morning in between jobs, but I don't have to work here tonight so at least I can get some sleep.
Man I wish I had more exciting stuff to discuss. I work, sleep, eat, work, sleep more. I got paid yesterday and that rocked, I was happy. Let's see the only things I have of interest right now are random Judge Reinhold facts, mostly from the Beverly Hills Cop movies. He was on a health kick in 1992-1993 so when he filmed BHC III, he looked very orange from his excess carrot juice intake. If you've also seen the crappy movie Four Eyes and Six Guns, he's very orange in that as well. Most of his dialogue with Eddie Murphy is improvised because Eddie Murphy is.. well Eddie Murphy. He injured his back when John Ashton (his partner Taggert) jumped on him during a scene when they were scaling a wall in the first BHC. He finally got it fixed around 2001 or so when he started work with a personal trainer, so he kinda slouched for a few decades in case anyone cares. It took 12 hours to film the scene in the strip club in BHC II, from 5pm to 5am. During the filming of BHC III at Great America, it was often hard to find cast members, including himself and director John Landis, since they were on random rides like Top Gun at 2am. Oh and when he first moved to L.A. he worked at a frozen yogurt place. Hahaha. I need help.
Waaaaaaaz uuuuuup??? Sorry I just wanted to get that out of my system. How are y'all doing? I'm hanging in there, working another 12 hour shift. I worked one yesterday too. It's not stressful or anything, but after a while I feel like a caged and bored animal. Myspace and Youtube can only be entertaining for so long. I think later on tonight I'll try some Myspace games, I see they have more to choose from. Maybe I'll play Literati on Yahoo, haven't done that in AGES. My score sucks, but oh well.
No real excitement other than that to report. This morning I went grocery shopping with Michelle, oooh ahhh. Tomorrow I'm working at Traffic.com, coming home, making dinner, watching some TV and coming here. Same for Thursday. Friday I'm working a long shift at Traffic.com then getting off in time to go somewhere, not sure yet. I want to leave my 4th of July opportunities open, since everyone texts/calls me last minute for things. Last Friday night I got invited to go out with 3 different people doing various activities, but had already said "Yes" to Michelle. She was bummed since she wanted to take Dad out for the 4th, but I'm like "Dude, c'mon let me enjoy my holiday, I'm a workaholic and I'm off after 8pm. Chill out." I'm so nice.
Also, in case ya'll didn't notice I had my sexy revamped pic as my default earlier. I liked it and I got several "ooh baby" comments on it. I wanted to see if I'd get compliments, and the ones I recieved were positive. I know it's kinda making me look like a ho or whatever, but once in a while I like to be reminded that I'm a hot babe, since guys don't tend to give me the time of day. Well my ex does. You know what I mean. I changed my default to a pic of me when I was about 8 or 9 trying to learn how to roller skate on Christmas Day. As you can see, it didn't go well. Haha. I was a funny kid, and I wish I could somehow transport myself back to 88 or 89, I miss those days.
