Proof that Technology Continues to HATE me

Well, I'm here again at the main branch of San Jose King Library because my computer is stupid. I will again to remind you all to never buy a Toshiba computer...unless you like spending time at your public library.

I'll be mostly unreachable via email for the next week. :(

That is all.

Luckily...

So many things have been happening lately. Good things, actually. It has been one of those months that have been going so incredibly well, you just don't want it to end. The first two years in California were so difficult. I hated it, bitched incessantly about it and wanted to high tail it out of this state ASAP. Lately, I've actually enjoyed myself here...

Last week, I interviewed for a job as a Physical Therapy Aide. The interview was a blur because I was dizzy, running fever and suffering from some sort of infection. Incredibly, I got the job and I start training tomorrow. It is exactly what I wanted and I had only been looking for work for two days when I got the interview. Things like this do not happen to me. The position is only 16-20 hours per week and pays decent for a job I have no paid experience doing. I will still have time to look for a new apartment (due in May) and take yoga classes. This will also give me time to relax before beginning graduate school in the Fall. The fella and I are hoping to take some long weekend get-aways and see more of the west coast.

ADoD's pilot flew home yesterday from Afghanistan, and we are all breathing a sigh of relief that he is safe on American soil. Sister, you are one strong woman for coping with this during the first year of marriage. Proud of you, girl.

My family has a buyer for the farm!! Yay! Three years in the making...it's about freaking time.

Just trying to enjoy all of the good things that are happening. The perpetual pessimist that I am, it feels good to at once be the optimist.

JT Loses His "Sexy"

Attention all readers:

Justin Timberlake, 25, reportedly lost his "Sexy" last night at the HP Pavillion in San Jose, CA. The side effects were boredom, irritation and loss of connection to others.

Anyone who has seen this "Sexy" he has been looking for...please, bring it back.

C'MON!

I had to fit it in there somewhere.

In the year 2007...

I got this off of Grammarian's blog. Welcome back, girl! :)

In 2007…

1. Will you be looking for a new job?
I'll begin looking after I find out about jury duty next week. It will be non-theatre related and hopefully non-stressful.

2. Will you be looking for a new relationship?
No, but I hope to continue to better the one I am in now.

3. New house?
Hell yes! Hoping to move out of the cramped quarters we are in by April.

4. What will you do differently in 07?
I'm hoping to travel more and do things I enjoy. I spent the past two years of my life only doing things that were necessary and not enjoyable.

5. New Years resolution?
See #4. Additionally, I would like to continue to strengthen my yoga practice and be outside more.

6. What will you not be doing in 07?
Working in theatre and complaining about living in California...well, I'll try not to anyway.

7. Any trips planned?
Many ideas for vacation are in the works: Yosemite, Portland, Seattle, Connecticut or maybe even China. Stay tuned!

8. Wedding plans?
We'll see.

9. Major thing on your calendar?
Graduate school starting in August.

10. What can’t you wait for?
Graduate school.

11. What would you like to see happen differently?
I would like to see our politicians take responsibility to their actions and come up with a better plan for our current situation...or at least any plan. I would also like to see more advances in medicine and for the housing prices in California to be more reasonable.

12. What about yourself will you be changing?
I'm hoping to be more bold when I start graduate school and not be afraid of what other people may think of me.

13. What happened in 06 that you didn’t think would ever happen?
I finally look a vacation this year with my fella that wasn't family-related. I was also able to stop working in theatre, which I had been looking forward to for two years.

14. Will you be nicer to the people you care about?
I want to be more thoughtful about special events: birthdays, anniversaries and the like.

15. Will you dress differently this year than you did in 06?
I'm hoping I'll have better clothes, but I don't think my wardrobe will change that much.

16. Will you start or quit drinking?
I'm sure I will continue my one-beer-every-evening-to-take-off-the-edge routine.

17. Will you better your relationship with your family?
I'm hoping that we can see each other more often...without the confinements of a structured event.

18. Will you do charity work?
Yes.

19. Will you go to bars?
I'm not that into bars, but I will enjoy good drinks at my favorite restaurants.

20. Will you be nice to people you don’t know?
As long as they present themselves in an uncreepy way.

21. Do you expect 07 to be a good year for you?
I'm hoping for the very best.

22. How much did you change from this time last year till now?
I have changed so much for the better. I feel like a better version of my older self. If you know me, you know what that means. :)

23. Do you plan on having a child?
Oh, no...but, we are planning on having a little puppy to call our own.

24. Will you still be friends with the same people you are friends with now?
Indeed.

25. Major lifestyle changes?
Graduate school, and there is a possibility that I am melding into a vegetarian. Meat is beginning to taste funny to me now and makes me feel bad after eating it.

26. Will you be moving?
Hopefully to a place that is more that 500 square feet.

27. What will you make sure doesn’t happen in 07 that happened in 06?
I don't think I could survive another heatwave, so please, Mr. Weatherman, be kind.

28. What are your New Years Eve plans?
I just stayed at home with my fella and we had a glass of wine and toasted to Eastern, Central and Pacific time zone countdowns.

29. Will you have someone to kiss at midnight?
My fella.

30. One wish for 07?
Health and happiness for family and friends.
