Birthday High Fives

Hi All! I'm back but not with a vengance. My trip was good overall, I got in some family time, beach time and that's about it. I will have some pictures soon but as you all very well know it takes me a really long time to so anything with my pictures. I have to dowload some soon because we have some activities planned for next weekend.

Birthday High Fives!!!!

Papa Pickle....I was away on the exact date but I did wish you Happy Birthday in advance.

Tundra.....Happy Birthday today!!!

Delirium.....Happy Birthday next week!!!!

In other news, I have yet to unpack. It's just a task that I would rather not do. I'm so tired, these last 2 days at work were basically the whole week's worth. I don't understand why in order for us to take a few days off we need to work twice as hard before we leave and three times as hard when we come back. It kind of defeats the purpose of a vacation. Today I'm gaving lunch with the super late (that's the new code name for GM since she always manages to be at least one hour late to everything). I think we are going for some Vietnamese food to catch up on things.

Other than that I'm still collecting data from Phase 3 and trying to keep myself together. I'm not sure why on earth my brain manages to get jumbled up in such a way where I start to question everything. More whining about that to come.

Adios Amigos!

I leave tomorrow. Very early tomorrow. Very. Early. I would like to say I'm excited but somehow my mother has managed to get me all worked up. Possibly J tells me not to pay attention but it's hard. Work has been hectic as usual but I don't mind it as much. I guess i'm focused on other things now.

My new favorite show is back on. Dancing with the Stars! I know it sounds a bit corny but I think it's fun. I haven't picked my favorite to win yet but my favorite to watch is the NFL guy. He looks like he is having fun and the guy can actually dance. I think his football training made him surprisingly coordinated with his feet. He is also very graceful for a man.

I also think I should mention that I have finally realized why I watch Law & Order over and over again. I think I have a crush on Jack McCoy. I think he's cute.

On a final note, Phase 2 will be completed tonight and tomorrow begins Phase 3. We will call Phase 3 "Data Compilation". I think that makes it sound like actual research and development which it is. In any case, I will be back soon. It's only a few days anyway, not a long trip.

No Lipgloss

If any of you have read Delirium's blog, I'm still on Phase 2 of the mission. So far so good. Will let you know the outcome.

Today I will start packing amongst other things. I finally located the infamous TSA approved locks that they advetize on the website. After searching far and wide for a Rite-Aid I found the stuff right across the street at CVS. Needless to say that the locks were more expensive than what I thought and I now resent the TSA more than before. All I want to do is carry my lipgloss on the plane with me. A girl has to look good. The subway ride home today was another story. Although the stalker was not sighted, i rode the "smelly" cart. I noticed people migrating to my side of train and wondered what was going on. Then the scent travelled to my side. All I have to say is yuck!

Special note to mama pickle: I know you don't read my blog anymore. That is not cute!

Oh Dear

This week has been a bit strange for me. I started off having a "fat" day which I'm sure we've all had. After that the lazyness set in and I really don't feel like doing much of anything. On Tuesday I went out for drinks and encountered the most akward of situations when I discovered that NC was there with the ex. Ick! Other than that I have had major allergy problems including a nose bleed and sore throat issues. Nasty weather doesn't help.

Last night was Third Friday. This time we had Sri Lankan food which was awesome and super spicy. As BTQ and I discussed current events, relationships, and all our other friends we downed some KingFisher beer which was really tasty. In entertainment news Whitney and Bobby seem to be getting a divorce. I can just hear the collective sigh around the world. If these two can't make it who can!!! On a serious note, maybe this is the first step to recovery. At least for Whitney, I hope she gets better and dumps all the drug crap. Whitney just say Hell to the No!

Sunday

The annual BBQ was yesterday and it went pretty well. The food was good and I got to see people that I haven't seen in a long time. Plus i got to drink beer while sitting outside in the backyard the whole time talking about crap....right up my alley.

Anyway, it's a really nice day out and I'm thinking of going for a long walk or something. I've been having "issues" and alone time is always good, t least for me it is. I've been having bad dreams all this week. They are all disturbing but they are not peaceful dreams so I wake up tired. I figured this is why I have been so tired recently, last night for example I was being chased by some psycho and I had to climb all these mountains to try to get away.

That brings me to my next point which is my new stalker. Delirium and I had dinner on Friday so I told her about this (that and she's the only one that knows about the Master Plan. Some guy has been following me on the subway home from work. I noticed him first like a month ago I think but last week he tried to talk to me which is a little scary. I know some people take the train at the same time sometimes but he goes out of his way to get in the same car as I do (I'm pretending to read a book while I watch what he does). I don't leave the office at the same exact time everyday which is good, but I guess when he sees me on the platform he takes the opportunity. I'm going to call this one my V Train Stalker.

This, that and the other

It feels like I had so much develop just today but it really hasn't, it just feels that way. I'm home on time from work which is good. This is apart of my new Master Plan. The master plan hasn't really been finalized but it's taking shape. Mainly becuase I've observed in recent days something that I really didn't want to say out loud. I feel that I'm not going to get anywhere in this environment because people don't want me to get anywhere. It's a shame. I've never let anyone tell me that I can't do something because I'm Hispanic or because I'm girl. This time though the words were overshadowed by actions. Although I'm still observing and coming to my final conclusions, I think I'm on the right track.

Now I'm distracted. I'm distracted by what looks to be a whole other face growing on my cheek. This is a little gross but we all go through it. One of these days the volcano will erupt and my face will go back to normal. Now that I managed to gross everyone out we can move on to important stuff like baby suri! The first pictures have been revealed, and I have to admit the kid is too cute!!!!!! She has the most beautiful head of hair. I take back all the nasty pictures I put up of the kid (although they were funny at the time) but we still have to wait to see if she will take over the world.

Say what?

Oh no! Not that again. I have serious thinking issues. I wish I didn't think so darn much about everything. I'm still dwelling on the friendship issues that I mentioned before. Not only that, but I feel like I need to do something about my career/income/lifestyle. My quarter life crisis appears to still be going on. What the heck is that about? Anyway at least we have a short week. Maybe I'll get to push some projects through soon, like tomorrow maybe. My horoscope said this was supposed to be a "lucky" week. Don't really know what that's about. The truth is that I have issues, as I'm sure most of us do. To further complicate my life I always try to fix everything, which would be ok if I didn't feel so burnt out. I keep telling myself to take it one day at a time but patience is not one of my virtues.

Only thing I know is that saturday is the annual Vudolicious BBQ. I'm very much looking forward to that and I'm praying for good weather. Last year we had a good time. Just close friends with lots of alcohol and lots of food.

Labor Day Weekend

I thought this holiday was meant to honor work. How does one honor our work? By doing absolutely nothiing at all!!! Appatrrently that's what I've decided to do. Well it's more like the weather doesn't allow for anything else but in all honesty I'm perfectly fine laying on my couch and sleeping. This morning I did clean up a little and I was very successful but I just don't feel like going outside.

The reason why I got up and putmsyelf in front of the computer is becauseI finally founf out the name of the guy that Vudolicious and I saw at the Smorgaschef. It was a minor celebrity sighting but both of us were excited none the less. So, we saw the guy from Law and Order: Genius. He played the bad genius psycho killer. In real life his name is David Wike and by the way he is super tall. I think it's weird though that I"ve googled this guy and there is not one picture of him out there. Strange huh.
