Silly Girl!

hahahahahaha….she said she would like to be a princess…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Snow Days in March!

Holy Moly!

Its been 3 months since I last checked in! WHOA baby! I need to get on the ball. I am so busy reading everyone else's blogs, I forget that I have one too! So here is whats been going on since December!

- Life is Still Amazing and Great!

- My little pup Boomer is healthy and gaining weight (some might remember that he was super sick last fall and lost alot of weight. He has since gained back 5.2lbs, and the vet today recommends another 3-4 lbs! Go Boomer! You can do it!)

- I am still single... but I am enjoying myself. Being able to be a bit selffish, and love myself a little more and more each day is a really great feeling. This is probably my longest stint at being single. Its crazy fun, and I am really enjoying myself!

- I am sweet on someone though.... hehe

- Job is super busy as ever! Working proposals right now. and as you know from previous proposals... work is ALL OVER THE PLACE!!

- I need to update the asthetics of my blog. I think its kinda ugly now. haha

- I had the urge to trade in my Jeep Cherokee for a new car... Luckily I didnt!
- My family and friends are really really amazing! I am thankful each and every day for them!

- I am growing my hair out again... going L O N G this time.... I am thinking about cutting bangs like Kat Von D. from L.A. Ink! I love her and I love the way her hair is cut... The show has given me the itch to get a new tattoo too... So I am doing that on Saturday. :)

Still Here

things are going well as a matter of fact. I'm in a great place in my life, and I cannot be happier!

A First

I have just been invited to a wedding via voicemail! The wedding is in 2 weeks, and I am guessing they need filler seats... Sorry... I don't think I'll make it as I am walking 60 miles for Breast Cancer.... Weird...no really... a wedding invite 2 weeks before the wedding.. via VOICEMAIL? WTF?

Thanks, but no thanks!

The View Is Beautiful Here

From my back patio, this is the beautiful sunset I saw the other night! I can get used to nights like these over here in AA!

Kickball!!!

Kick Ball Season has officially started! I am part of the No-Talent A$$ Clowns!!! I am super pumped this year to kick some a$$ and take names later! First game starts thursday! WOO HOO!!!!!!

What's Going On?

I am feeling a bit annoyed, it might be from my fall this weekend due to an obscene amount of red bull vodka's and coor's lite's! I feel off my bed at the hotel, banged my head on the chair, and bruised my tailbone! OUCH!!

I am also feeling a bit annoyed at "Beaches and Bulldozers", I love him so much, and I am annoyed with him right now. He has not done anything terrible, I am just feeling annoyed by him. Does that ever happen to anyone? You just get annoyed with someone for no real important reason? Nothing to really justify your annoyance? I feel guilty... I am annoyed with that too.

He loves me, I love him, we never get enough time with eachother, the days and nights go by way to fast. I miss him terribly, and I cannot wait to see him at the end of the month. I cannot wait to see his family, its been way too many years! I am hoping that the days and nights till I get to be with him, go as quickly as when we are together. God, I am annoyed with time and my head is still killing me!

Thats all for now.

Looking Forward

To 7 Great Happenings!

1. House Settlement got pushed back a week. But will happen on the 28th!
2. Moving In to my New House!
3. Turning 30!!!!

5. Birthday party at Glenn Dale
6. Jillian's wedding in Jersey
7. Breast Cancer Walk in October

I know, only I have control of my life.... And I am so scared of whats to come... Why do miss you so? Where did I go wrong... what am i going to do right next time... will there be a next time? my battery is about to die... and my charger is in Fairfax... sucks.... I faced myself tonight. and it was scary and super cool... I faced myself, and I am different because of what I saw... Ramblings in my head... ramblings in my words... I saw something different tonight when I looked at myself in the mirror... I saw something that I wanted to be... something that I was ready... FINALLY to leave... hello... ME.

I saw you last night, and I cried the entire way home. I miss you, I miss you, I miss you. I MISS YOU. I miss you like crazy. I miss the way you smell, I miss the way you look at me, I miss cooking for you, I miss doing your laundry, I miss your smile, I miss your burps! I miss your laughter, I miss our after work conversations, I miss hearing you say you love me. I miss saying I love you. I love you.

Pics with the Nikon D40!

The flowers were taken with the flower setting on the camera

New Camera!

I just got a Nikon D40.. I opted for the 40, cause the 60 was just too much for what i was taking... mostly because it had 10.0 pixels, and I didnt need all that. Plus the D40 was a bit cheaper! I love it! I cannot wait post the pictures... you will see a H U G E difference of the quality... craziness!!! I took pictures last night at dinner which was spent on the awesome deck with friends.... I will post those later. WHOOOOO Im such an asian... super pumped for the new camera... now I need a new fanny pack!

Deck 2008 Pictures!

The deck is looking pretty good so far this summer! We have tomato's growing, basil, mint, lemon basil, cucumbers, green bell peppers.... and a variety of flowers! We have been grilling on the BBQ most nights, and spending as many nice evenings outdoors enjoying our deck and and weather as much as possible!

BMI is TMI

I went to to the doctors, where they informed me that my BMI is too high and that I need to bring it down... meaning LOSE WEIGHT! Im such a fatty... well that was during my first proposal I was working on... let me just give you an idea how it can be very easy to gain weight when working on a proposal.

1. LATE LATE LATE LONG LONG LONG hours. we are talking 80+ in a week.
2. Catered food always! and its usually something filling... similar to a thanksgiving dinner
3. sweets, snack, soda, sugar everwhere! Gotta keep us awake and writing on these things!
4. Sitting on your ass during those LONG LATE hours!
5. Did I mention we work weekends too?

So, after my first proposal.. I noticed the butt was bigger and the pants were smaller... As soon as my first proposal was finished, I was put on another one. This time I was going to make some changes in the way I was working....

1. No more long hours. I cut it down to about 40-60 a week. Including weekends
2. Eating light on the catered food....
3. Cutting back on the sweet stuff
4. more water
5. walking more during the day

After the last proposal was finished, I was feeling lighter, but I knew I could do better... I am currently still above my "normal" BMI. But, I am feeling better, I am eating MUCH better, I am taking better care of my body, I am staying away from anything that is remotely sweet and delicious! Drinking more water, than I would prefer and its showing! I have already dropped a size since my second proposal... on my way to a better BMI!

Venezuela

As a capture manager, I get the opportunity to work with different people on different proposals. For instance, I am working with a few people from different areas of business in Lockheed for this current proposal. I have learned over the past few months, that I really am NOT a people person. I thought I was. I really thought, I was a nice person to work with. Ok, maybe I am just completly fed up with one particular man at work. We will call him "Venezuela" as thats where he currently resides. He is a pig, he is annoying, he is very rude. He is always interrupting, he talks to much, he makes rude comments about women, he tells us Waaaay too much information. I have discretly asked him to tone things down. To keep comments that are not work related to himself. I have actually been down to my last nerve where I have yelled at him, and told him that he is not a very good person... I made bad decisions then... I apologized since then.

He is calls the women here "girls", I tell him thats inappropriate. He makes condecending remarks, and comments. He is very rude. He is disgusting physically too... He says he has a model wife back in Venezuela. He is in his late 50's she is in her late 20's...27 to be exact. He admits that he is her sugar daddy, and that while he is working here, she is probably spending his money.... and thats okay. He admits that he likes to buy her things, and enjoys watching her shop (WTF?!?!?!)

It has been mentioned several times that mr. Venezuela has a terrible reputation with the women of Lockheed Martin. Not many women want to work with him. Now, I know why. This will be my last proposal with Mr. Venezuela... he is no longer welcome on my proposals.

How To Get Rid Of A One Night Stand

I Have The Itch For....

Another Tattoo! I have been thinking about it for AWHILE!!!! It might be something I just need to go ahead and do!

What a Hag!

Whats up with the bone sticking out of her thigh? Disgusting! BARF BARF!
DAMNIT~!! she is a total fuck up and look how rich she is... I think she is estimated in the billions?!?! for what?!!? Her songs suck now. If she is so rich, why doesn't she buy a toot for that little gap in her mouth? Geesh!!!

What The Eff?

I saw driving home in traffic last night and as I glanced in my rear view mirror, I saw this box on wheels weaving in and out between cars. It finally reached me a few cars ahead, and to my surprise, it was one of those smart cars... Boy, does it look strange. Kinda freaky, and I really do not think I would ever feel safe in the smallest car in the world. I swear the guy driving looked like his forehead was against the front window. It was scary. Also they are good with making tight turns that no normal car could make.. I am not ready for these "Smart" cars yet. Not at all!
