*yawn*

• Word up homies. I had a fun weekend, as always. Well Friday kind of sucked but Saturday/Sunday was great. Friday I spent most of my day dragging my dad and older sister around Palo Alto so Dad could get a CT scan and make sure his shunt is okay. It's fine, which is kind of puzzling to us. Anyway, my older sister was way too grumpy. Between her bitchiness and my lack of sleep, we got in a bigass fight in the parking garage there at the hospital. Later on in the afternoon after getting the mirror put back on my car and finally sleeping, I felt great. Then during the evening I made myself dinner and hung out with Cathy.
• Saturday was a lot better. I got up, showered, packed, ate breakfast, and headed out to Lodi to spend the rest of my weekend with Kimmie. We spent the afternoon shopping at Kmart and Big Lots with Joyce, and also had lunch at Mountain Mike's. Then we had Wienerschnitzel on the way home. So unhealthy. Then after watching Hangin Tough Live for the millionth time, Kim put on The Exorcist II. It made absolutely no sense whatsoever. I put on about five episodes of the Norm show from 2001 that I got on a bootleg DVD. I found them pretty darn funny. We went to bed after that.
  
• Sunday we went to the movies to see the new Alvin And The Chipmunks film. Joyce met Kim there, and I picked up our friend Carolyn and her son. It was very cute. Kinda cheesy in parts, but hey it's a kids movie. Afterwards I took Carolyn and her kid home, then the rest of us had lunch at the Feed & Fuel. Kinda pricy. Oh well, there's a dinosaur head hanging from the ceiling, I should've taken a picture. Guess that's worth it. When we got back to Kimmie's place we watched several episodes of Hoarders, then America's Funniest Home Videos and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Dinner was ground turkey tacos. Yumfest!
  
• I'm pooped. Can't wait to go home and sleep later on this morning. I have to drop off my car at the body shop to get the rest of the work done, and Enterprise is giving me a rental. I'm not sure how long these repairs will take, I'm thinking a day or two max.
  

Dental fun, car update, & another trip to Stanford

• Word up y'all. It's Friday! Really early on a Friday morning, technically. I'm currently eating a carrot (very carefully on the right side of my mouth) and drinking Diet Dr. Pepper. How thrilling. The reason for my carrot eating precaution is because I got two molars drilled, filled and temporarily crowned yesterday morning. Once the Novocaine wore off, that whole side of my mouth was swollen and kinda hurt. Not as much pain as a toothache, but definitely noticeable.
• Let's see what else is new? Got the estimate for my car's damage, it's almost $3 grand. Luckily the other lady's insurance is covering the whole thing. I'm probably bringing my car into the shop on Monday morning, I need to call the place and confirm about that. They're paying for a rental car too. I know I need to send you some pics, Cindy. I've just been kinda busy this week so I barely have turned on my laptop at all.
  
• Dad's shunt is acting up again. I need to take him to Stanford way early this morning to get a CT scan then he has an appt with his neurosurgeon later on. I'm hoping he can just have it adjusted, but if he needs it replaced then we'll do what has to be done. Ugh. If any of y'all want to send prayers his way, it would be much appreciated.
  
• That's about it. This weekend I'm planning on hanging out at Kimmie's in Lodi. That is, if my dad doesn't get stuck in the hospital or something. As far as I know I'm going, though. We'll just play it by ear.
  

Happy New Year!!

• What's up y'all? I had a very fun four day weekend and New Years celebration. Thursday morning I met Sandi at her place in Stockton, and we drove down from there. I pretty much slept the whole way. Except for stops in Fresno, Bakersfield and Downey to pee. Yes Downey is in L.A. but we were staying in Orange and traffic sucks. We made it down there and went to dinner first at some Mexican place since the wait to check in at Motel 6 was too long. I had great chicken fajitas. After we checked in and I took a shower, we were off to Knotts Berry Farm. I was running on like seven hours of sleep in a two day period, but frankly didn't care. We had a blast. The Newsboys performed twice and it was awesome. The rides were out of this world. I went on the Silver Bullet twice, it's like Top Gun at Great America, only a lot more intense. We ended up buying the DVD of ourselves on the ride, it was that good. Then I went on Supreme Scream, which is pretty much like Drop Zone. Only much higher, and it goes back up. Freakin scary. Sandi's not into drop rides so I went on it myself. Next we rode the Waveswinger, which is basically just riding in a swing, pretending you're Peter Pan or something. So freakin fun to feel like you're flying. Oh yeah, we also went on Ghost Rider, the wooden coaster twice. That one is the gnarliest coaster I've ever experienced, period. For a wooden coaster to have that much g-force is amazing. We went on it right before midnight, and again when the park was almost closing. Oh yeah, and for some insane reason I decided to go on Bigfoot Rapids twice at 12:30am when it was 48 degrees out. The first time we barely got wet, second round I got soaked. Oh well, dried off a little on Ghost Rider. So worth it. I am so going next year.
  
• We slept in on Friday, well sort of. The bed at Motel 6 was pretty hard. I wanted to check out the Irvine Spectrum, so we had a late breakfast at a crepe place, then did some shopping. I got a cute sweater at Torrid, coffee at The Coffee Bean, and tried some frozen yogurt at Pinkberry. So good. We also got snacks for the road at Target. Then we headed to Santa Monica to check out the pier. It was pretty fun to look around at the view but honestly Pier 39 has a lot more things to do, more shops, etc. We ate at Bubba Gumps for dinner, I had a cheeseburger and broccoli. Then we headed on back home, and were in Stockton before midnight.
  
• I stayed over at Sandi's that night, and we went to breakfast at Mimi's the next morning. Then we got coffee at Peet's, and frozen yogurt at Nubi. I had peppermint egg nog cheesecake with a few toppings, mostly nuts and fruit. So tasty. There's a Nubi in San Leandro at Bayfair, I gotta try that one. Then I drove home, did some housework, hit the gym, then hung out with Dad for the evening. On Sunday I went to church, then went shopping with Cathy. I got new size 16 jeans (YES!!), a cute shirt, and some beauty products. I didn't even use my whole giftcard for Target. I think I'll use the remainder towards groceries this week. How thrilling.
  

It just never ends

• What's up y'all? I am SO tired right now. I know I'll be catching the train to sleepytown soon enough. Gonna try to get a nap in here at work since I'll be in a car on the way to L.A. later this morning. I'm not the one driving, but I know I may be too excited to sleep. I shoulda brought some Benadryl and drugged myself. Hahaha.
  
• Hmm what's new? Well Dad's been a bit groggy and uncooperative lately, and we've come to the conclusion that it's his Alzheimer's medication. When we took him to the neurologist, he insisted on him continuing the med, plus he wants him to start on Ritalin. He says it calms children but is a stimulant for adults. Is that all doctors enjoy doing? Just drugging everyone up? Michelle and I are at our wits end. Oh yeah, my car got sideswiped today by one of our neighbors around the corner. Fortunately we witnessed it happening and Cathy stopped the lady. I left a message on my agent's voicemail, made a formal claim over the phone to the 800 number, and emailed all the info including pictures to my agent. I think I'm covered. Still sucks though, I don't have a drivers side mirror. Hopefully I can get it fixed next week sometime. Yeah so that's it in a nutshell. I really want to have a good time in L.A. today and tomorrow. Wish me luck.
  

Had a great holiday this year

• Late Merry Christmas y'all! Early Happy New Year! I had a pretty cool weekend overall. Made out like a bandit this year on Christmas. Bought myself a new camera using some cash that TJ gave me. Also bought myself a new Sesame Street book that was 50% off, and got a new blender/food processor thing. It's like the Magic Bullet, but a cheaper brand. Made myself a low fat eggnog smoothie earlier this evening, it works. Cathy also gave me The Office seasons 1/2, which I've been watching. Actually the best present I received this year was my dad's health. I was so afraid he'd be in the hospital on Christmas. Our family has had that curse for generations. My grandfather and late uncle always seemed to be sick around the holidays as well.
  
• The rest of my weekend was fun too, although tiring. Saturday I seemed to be on my feet the whole day. My dad's cat Johnny passed away late Friday night, so I had to take Dad and Michelle to the vet hospital to drop off his body to be cremated. Then Davina and I went to lunch, did some shopping, and hit the gym together. I had enough time after that to go home and make dinner, and wrap Cathy's bday presents. Then I had to take Michelle and Dad out to do more shopping. Then I finally got back home and maybe hung out an hour before I accompanied Cathy on her late night grocery run. So yeah, busy Lisa. Sunday wasn't so bad. I got up and went to church, then to the gym, then spent the afternoon/evening lounging at home. Even managed to take a nap. Feels so good to relax for a change.
  

Merry Christmas everyone!

• Word up y'all! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! I'm here at work and it's almost 2am. I'm still sipping on the remnants of my eggnog milkshake I got earlier. Thought I'd treat myself for the holiday. I'm trying very hard not to gain weight, that's my goal. Not worrying about losing, just concerned about gaining. I know I can do it if I avoid most of the cookies Cathy made. Oh well.
  
• The holiday has been great so far. Dad and Michelle came over earlier tonight, then we went to my Uncle Jim's house. It was great to see my cousins and their kids. I love spending time with my family. Dad and Michelle are coming over again this afternoon for a while. We're gonna have a nice Christmas dinner with ham, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. Yum. I'm working a 5 hour shift here in the evening, covering for one of the part-timers. In return she's covering part of my New Year's Eve shift, so it's an even trade. Oh well. Still, an awesome time to be had. Merry Christmas everyone!
  

Don't take loved ones for granted

• What's up y'all? I had a pretty fun weekend. Spent most of it in Lodi with Kimmie, having our Christmas celebration. Of course I spent about half the time worried sick about my dad. We're meeting with discharge planners today to see if he can be taken home. May be today, or later on this week. Hopefully we can take him home. Someone suggested a nursing home, and we're like "Um no." He'd go downhill fast if we did that to him. He seems to be getting better, and as long as we follow up with everything I don't see why he can't be recovering at home. They always dope him up there anyway.
  
• Also, I'm kinda in a funky mood for another reason. It's been exactly two years to the day since my mom passed away. I can't believe it's been that long. I miss her so much. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her, wishing she were still here. Life would be so much easier. I know I'm not going to have my dad around forever, so I cherish every moment I have with him, too. I think we all should. Don't take your loved ones for granted.
  

My first SantaCon was awesome

• What's up y'all? I'm back from my fantastic weekend. I had way too much fun. I know I say that a lot, but this time I really mean it. Probably a little too much fun. Friday I went on a marathon shopping excursion with Michelle and Dad. We were at the mall 5 or 6 hours. Spent almost 2 hours in Target alone. It wasn't due to crowds either. Just that my older sister takes way too long to shop. I got a few more gifts for people, and a new hoodie for myself. I've had most of my hoodies for 2+ years, and they're hanging off of me. I needed something that fit. I actually tried on and bought a medium!! Okay it was one of those "urban" fashion stores, but still it was awesome. Later on we had dinner at Red Robin, then drove around and looked at Christmas lights in Fremont. They had some really neat displays, and Dad had a good time.
  
• Saturday was quite an adventure. My first SantaCon. I went with Tricia, her husband Kevin, his brother Mike, and several other people. We had a blast. I got drunk. Not wasted, but definitely drunk. I'm not a beer drinker, but I was definitely chugging some down. I ordered mostly rum and diet coke at every bar, but chugged beer in between. We ate pizza at some point in time, then called it a night around 8pm. We started around noon. So yeah, that's a good 8 hours of partying. Some people stayed later, but three of us left early. I flirted with some interesting guys. :-)
• Sunday I had a tiny hangover, mostly felt tired more than anything else. A bottle of grape Crystal Light and a banana pretty much cured any crapiness that I felt. After breakfast I went to the gym, and had my eyebrows done. I'm looking sexy again. Hey hey hey!! Later on I came home and wrapped all my gifts for people, and watched TV/movies, then later took a nap before work. So yeah that was my weekend. WHOOOO..
  

Awesome to the max

• What's up, yo? Not much. Just chillin, finished some Bible study, eating some grapefruit. I love fruit. A lot. I think it has helped me lose weight since it has fiber and lots of water, plus I drink lots of water. So I pee a lot. Lost 2 more lbs this week. Was at a bit of a plateau for a few weeks, due to Thanksgiving and its after effects. I've been on track lately and it shows. Also I've been working out as much as possible. Earlier tonight the elliptical machine kicked my ass. Literally. It hurt. I only went on it because Grace was on one and I felt like being her workout buddy for 10 min. Haha. Then I want back to my nice safe treadmill and did some power walking/jogging. Then some ab work.
  
• Enough about my fitness journey. This week has been cool. Had our work dinner on Wednesday evening at Applebees in Alameda. It was pretty yummy. I had steak/chicken. I took some pics but mostly of my coworkers chowing down. Then I went to the gym a while afterwards. I was jammin due to all that protein.
  
• This weekend should be awesome to the max. Later today (Friday) I'm taking my dad and Michelle shopping at Newpark Mall, then probably out to dinner. Saturday is SantaCon in San Francisco. I've never gone, but Tricia/Kevin have, and I'm dressing up as an elf. I can't wait! I'll have plenty of stories to tell on Sunday night I'm sure. :-)
  

my weekends are always fun

• Howdy doody folks. I had a fun weekend. Relaxing for the most part. Friday evening Michelle and I went to Olive Garden. Neither of us had been there in years. The food was yummy, but I realized why we don't go there often. Kinda steep prices for what you get. Oh well. Later on that evening I joined Davina, Cliff and Michael for some karaoke. That was a treat, since it was Cliff/Michael's first time. Haha.
• On Saturday Cathy and I got up at the buttcrack of dawn, and went to Fresno to see Amy for a surprise visit. Her apartment complex is quite confusing. We ended up knocking at some other person's place for about 5 minutes, but eventually found the right one. It was fun running errands, grabbing Sonic and later watching cartoons. We didn't get back here until about 8pm. I was planning on making dinner then hitting the gym, but the evening didn't turn out that way. I ended up going to Fernando's place and joining him, Grace and Davina for pizza instead. Oh and his kids too. Joey is so big now, and really smart. Afterward Davina and I were going to go to the gym, but it was already closed. So we went back to my place and watched Tommy Boy. I love Chris Farley.
• Sunday I finally was able to sleep in, and made some awesome banana pancakes with eggbeaters and smart bacon for breakfast. Then I put up my Christmas tree, and headed to the gym for a much needed workout. When I got back home, I ate some lunch, and took a nice long nap. Then I made dinner, watched lots of TV, and came to work. Nice and relaxing end to my weekend.
  
• So yeah, the rest of this week should be laid back. Santa Con is on Saturday, and I have my costume all ready. I just need some finishing touches. I'm all kinds of excited. :-)
  

TGIF

• Heidi ho y'all! Another end to another lovely work week. It's the holiday season! Yaay!! I'm almost done with my shopping, I have 3 more people to buy for. I'm thinkin gift cards. That'll solve a lot of headaches. Not much excitement this week though. Been working a lot, got my oil changed on Wednesday. This morning I have to take Dad's van to be smogged. Big wow. Right now I'm eating a grapefruit. I love grapefruit, even though it's very messy. Grapefruit + Splenda = YUM!! Also stimulates the body's metabolism, which is a plus. Okay since I'm running out of stuff to talk about.. toodles!
  

fun weekend, but ate too much crap

• Wassup y'all, freaky fresh y'all.. Okay I was going to try to write some dope lyrics and make a rap song out of my weekend blog but I'm too white for that. Haha. I may have soul but not that much. Anyway, I had a lovely weekend. I finally caught up on sleep on Friday, thank God for that. Also ran to Target that evening and picked up make-up. Yay for me. Saturday morning I made yummy pancakes for breakfast, got my eyebrows waxed, bought new slippers/earrings, and went on a random drive with Cathy. Later on that evening I went to Porky's Pizza for dinner with Davina and surprised Cathy since she was working a shift there. Then we were bad and had ice cream at Clancy's. This nice old Asian man who was extra friendly hooked me up with two scoops of peppermint fudge instead of one because he only likes happy customers. Like my fat butt needed that. Then Davina and I met with Lorie at the karaoke place in Hayward and sang for almost 3 hours. So much fun. I'll have several videos up later. Sunday was an action packed day. I got up and took Cathy to pick up her car at Al's house (very long story), then she borrowed my car and dropped me off at church. After a very long church service, I went with Davina for a late lunch at Chevy's, and did a little shopping at Bayfair. I took a picture with Santa Claus, he says I should get lots of gift cards this year since I was a nice little friendly girl. LMAO Then I met up with Fernando, Michael, Tony, and the gang to celebrate Fern/Michael's 28th bday at Texas Roadhouse. Then I came here to work an 11 1/2 hour shift. Whoo hoo. Overtime rules. So yeah, lots of excitement.
  

Happy Turkey Day!!

• What's goin on my homies? It's Thanksgiving!! And yes I'm working an 11 hour shift here, then 4 hours at my other job. Why? I'm insane, need overtime and more hours. Yeah I'm crazy like that. I ate A LOT of food today. Pretty much everything we made, I ate too much and brought some to work. I hope I can make it to the gym tomorrow night and throughout the weekend, I'm gonna need to burn all this off. I figure if I'm going to have a day of gluttony, I might as well go all out. Turkey, ham, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes from scratch, stuffing, gravy, rolls, pumpkin pie.. OMG so much food!!! Oh and steamed broccoli. Had to eat at least something green. Oh my goodness I am so bloated right now. So I'm going to spend the rest of my shift watching random videos on Youtube, playing games on Pogo, and watching movies on my laptop. Yeah and probably randomly dozing off for random intervals. Oh the fun.
  
• So yeah my holiday was a success. Didn't get much sleep, but my sisters helped a lot with the cooking so at least I got a little rest. We had fun watching Dance Party on KOFY 20 and making fun of the bad outfits and even scarier dancing. I think that's our new holiday tradition. Hahaha!
  

I'm motivated

• Word up y'all. It's a very early Monday morning, and I'm at work blogging and eating grapes. I'm also blowing my nose, stupid allergies. Okay enough with the specifics. My weekend was pretty chill. Didn't do much at all. I think the most productive thing I did do was go to the gym five days in a row. Yes five!! I plan on being one hot sexy bitch by Christmas. Haha. My whole body kinda hurts right now as a result, but like they say, no pain no gain. (Or loss, really.. ) So yeah, Friday night I went to the gym, came home, watched movies. Saturday I went for coffee and on a drive with Cathy, went to the gym, watched some TV, brought Dad over to my place to watch movies. Later on that night I went grocery shopping with Cathy at Walmart/Foodmaxx at 12-1am in the morning. It was fun. On Sunday I slept in, went to the gym, came home and watched TV, napped, ate dinner. Was going to do karaoke with Davina and friends but that got canceled. So I just took another nap. So now I'm at work. Hooray.
  

gobble gobble time

• Word up yo. Haven't posted in several days. I'm exhausted. I didn't sleep too well yesterday, then I worked myself pretty hard at the gym earlier before work. Now I'm wiped out. When I get home at 7:30am, I am so gonna crash. This week has been pretty cool. I did the major Thanksgiving shopping already, spent like $100. Sheesh man, feeding 5 people a feast costs a lot. I'm so used to only shopping/cooking for myself. We're gonna have turkey, mashed potatoes from scratch, stuffing, my mom's famous sweet potato casserole (Michelle's making it.. duh), cranberry sauce, gravy, steamed broccoli, two kinds of rolls/biscuits.. yum. Yeah ingredients for the feast add up pretty fast. Oh well, gluttony is worth it, least on Thanksgiving. Oh and Cathy's making a pumpkin pie, can't forget that. I'm drooling just thinking about it. Of course I have to work the night before, and the night of Thanksgiving, but what else is new? So I may have a giant lack of sleep. That should make cooking interesting.
  
• Well I'm trying not to fall asleep here so I'll make this short. Nothing much else exciting enough to mention. I can't wait for the weekend, so I can just relax and do nothing. Doing nothing is great as opposed to working 8 -13 hour days. :-)
  

OH the fun

• Heidi ho there folks. Yeah I haven't really blogged in a week or so. I've decided not to blog as frequent as I used to, since 2/3 of my entries are talking about how nothing is going on. So yeah, this last weekend has been fun. I stayed at home for the most part, hung out with family. Friday evening I took Dad and Michelle to Applebee's then Borders. It was fun just to get Dad out of the house.
  
• Saturday morning I made myself a bombass breakfast with the oatmeal pancakes/eggbeaters, then went on a random drive with Cathy. In the afternoon I hit the gym, then lounged around the house watching TV/movies until late in the evening. Not so thrilling, but a few weeks ago I was all over the place so it was great to have time just to relax. I took a nap, then after Cathy got home from Porky's I tagged along while she went grocery shopping at Walmart/Foodmaxx.
• Sunday morning Cathy and I decided to take a road trip to Sebastopol to visit Mom, and just to have random fun. We got a cute potted plant and a holiday snowman to put on her grave, I'm sure she appreciates it. Mom loved the holidays, it was her favorite time of year. The irony of her dying four days before Christmas is a bummer, I'm sure she never intended to make our future Christmas memories jaded at all. That's why I always try to get into the holiday spirit, because that's what Mom would want us to do. Anyway, after visiting Mom we took a random trip to some mall in Santa Rosa and looked around. Didn't find what we were browsing for, but oh well. We eventually got home around 4pm, then I scooted on over to the gym for another great workout. I take advantage of the gym and go as many times as I can every week. I went Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday this week. Not bad. Probably won't be back until Wednesday night, since I'm working both jobs the next few days. And that's about it. Just sitting here at work, drinking water and eating an apple. Oh the fun. Can't wait to go home later on and sleep.
  

Had fun, now I'm tired

• What's up homies? Not much here. I had a pretty fun weekend and I'm tired. What else is new huh? Let's see on Friday I went to dinner at Sweet Tomatoes with Michelle. It was crazily packed. Guess no one felt like cooking and wanted to pig out on healthy stuff. Well mostly healthy. Afterward we swung by the mall, then I forced her to go to the gym. I only ended up with a 20 min workout because she said her back was hurting and we cut it short. Oh well.
  
• Saturday I got up and ready, then headed out to Lodi for a weekend of fun. I met Kimmie at her place before noon, then we headed downtown to the movies and met Joyce there. I finally saw This Is It. It was awesome! I was dancing/singing the whole two hours. I do have to admit though that if Michael Jackson were still alive and I saw him on the street and didn't recognize him, I'd mistake him for a crackhead. He does do some weird stuff. My favorite part was when they were testing him on the cherry picker crane thing to fly him over the audience, and he's like "WHEEEEEEE!!" really high pitched. LMAO. So after the movies we went to lunch at MooMoo's since the Feed And Fuel's revolving door was not wheelchair accessible. What a crock. Lunch was good though once we did eat. Then we got bad movies on VHS at Tom's Books, ice cream at Coldstone, and headed home. On the way we stopped at Walgreens and Apple Market for some groceries. Fun times. So yeah when we got back we watched Child's Play, then Greedy starring a HOT AND SEXY Michael J. Fox. No joke. Then we put on a lot of episodes of Tales From The Darkside while I helped Kimmie make a pumpkin cheesecake, and eventually we went to bed.
  
• Sunday morning we got up and going around noonish, and watched a few more episodes of Tales From The Darkside. Then I put on a really bad Jeff Goldblum movie called Framed. Even the music was cheese. We sat through that while I helped Kimmie make a banana cream pie. Then she put on Poltergeist II, then I put on Muppets Take Manhattan. Meanwhile we worked on green beans, mashed potatoes, and roasted chicken. Then Kimmie put on IT, and we watched the first half of the movie. Then Garfield's Thanksgiving, then random stuff until I went home. Joyce came over around 5:30 and we ate dinner a little after 6. Kimmie did an awesome job with everything, as usual. Most walkies can't even cook that well, and she has cerebral palsy. So beat that, suckas. That was our weekend in a nutshell. Now I'm at work, it's 1am, and I'm eating a grapefruit. The End.
  

Rock on

• What's up homies? I am uber exhausted. Had way too much fun on Tuesday night, threw my sleep schedule off wack and now I'm paying for it. I may snooze a bit later here and I'll get about 6 hrs this morning so I think I'll survive. So yeah in a nutshell on Tuesday night Sandi and I drove down to Fresno to see the Creationfest Tour with Thousand Foot Krutch, FM Static, A Beautiful Republic, Mark and Will from Audio Adrenaline, and Jars of Clay. All the bands were awesome. I had a great time. I felt like an idiot because I forgot the memory card for my camera, but Sandi was a nice friend and took lots of pics.
  
• Later on today Sandi and I are going to see Rush Of Fools in Yuba City. I'm excited about that too. I'll be working here later on that night, and I'm sure I'll be pooped. This weekend I'll be in Lodi visiting Kimmie and celebrating Thanksgiving early. Hope I don't dive too far off the deep end into pumpkin cheesecake land. Hahaha. Okay later skaters.
  

I love being a zombie

• Word up homies. I had a fun yet tiring weekend. Friday I started my weekend off by a nice 45 min walk in the late afternoon, then spent the evening watching random movies and downloading music. I think I watched Billy Madison, Thrashin, and Meatballs II. Pretty bad huh?
  
• Saturday I got up at a decent hour and discovered I couldn't find my zombie make-up anywhere in my room. I scoured it for 30 minutes to no avail. I ended up at Party City with a ton of last minute shoppers in a longass line just to buy make-up. Oh well. I think the new kit I got is had better stuff in it anyway. Then I went back home, showered (I hecka went on my make-up quest in my jammies), made breakfast, and hit the gym. Davina joined me there, we had fun showing off our dance moves on the treadmill. More like me showing my dance moves, she was too busy jogging. Later on in the afternoon I went to her house so she could do my make-up and hose me down with fake blood, then I picked up my dad. He was going to help us hand out candy. So basically Davina and I spent a good deal of the evening giving candy to kids, and scaring the crap out of them. I made a video I'll post at the end of the blog. I think it's hilarious, but I'm probably bias. I haven't had that much fun on Halloween in a long time. Later on I took my dad back home, then we went to some random party that Davina's coworker was having. It was more like several people sitting around watching some scary movie. Good food spread though, especially the Everett & Jones BBQ. We stayed for about an hour, then went to Denny's. I had a healthy grand slam with egg whites, turkey bacon, fruit, and whole wheat pancakes with sugarfree syrup. Not too bad. Finally I went home and eventually went to sleep after uploading pics/video.
  
• Sunday I slept in, well at least tried. TJ was watching TV really loudly in the living room so it was hard to rest. Oh well. I had leftover pancakes for breakfast, then ran some errands and went to the gym. Oh yeah, and of course I got my eyebrows waxed. Definitely needed some help in that department. In the afternoon I met up with Davina, and we went for Clancy's ice cream, and hung out at my place for a while. In the evening I picked up Michelle and my dad and we all went to my house to celebrate Michelle's bday with cake. The cake Cathy made had A LOT of sugar, so did the small cup of hot cocoa I drank. I had a headache soon afterward and felt drunk. I think I had TOO MUCH SUGAR that afternoon/evening, and it caught up with me. I'm very careful about watching my sugar intake because I have a huge fear of diabetes. So yeah, that's probably why I felt so horrible. After drinking a lot of water I seemed to feel better. So that's about it. I'm at work right now and I feel exhausted. I think it's a combo of woman issues and the fact that I've been working out the past 5 days straight. I need a nap.
  

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!
