twitter- a little over one month

Crazy, how time flies while your having fun.  I discovered twitter.  Time waster, maybe..learning new things definitely. Things I will not let you know.  When I am going to the bathroom, when my doggie is going to the bathroom or when my kids are going to the bathroom.  But it is sort of a method of releasing random thoughts in my head or just journaling in bite-sized pieces. Here is the 102 tweets so far from @jboydsandiego:

Lately

Hmmm.. lets see.  Work is slowing down, my dog got kicked out of work today (lease rules suck). The joy is gone.  I have a inner conflict of being happy and saving money.  You need to spend some money to be happy.  Yet, I want to make sure I have money in the future by not spending money. I have a travel bug. It is still there. I am not sure what else to say.  Life is throwing curve balls. I need to hit one out of the park. I am still winning but don't take that for granted.  I am still playing the game and you can never take your eye off of that ball.  Gotta take one day at a time. Gotta invent something of myself...It's in my head.  Need to get those ideas into the real world where they matter.  Good side- family, friends, health and wealth are still intact.  Just trying to deal with my inner conflicts.  Peace out.

Times of the Unknown

RANT: In all my adult years, I have never seen the world so f^^d up as it is now.  Today (or rather yesterday), it has touched my life.  I didn't lose my job, but had this furlough thing happen.  Plus side, I get every other Monday off.  Minus I lose the salary I would of made on that day.  I love three day weekends, but not affording to have fun and to spend money freely really sucks.  This is my give and take.  I am contemplating my new Monday life... maybe I can turn this into a positive and go volunteer somewhere. I just need to think where it will be a good symbiotic relationship. We will see where this yr. takes us.  Hopefully, the end of the doomsdays are near, people need to go back to work and stop begging for money. 

Stuff...

FLIP

I own lots of Stuff, in fact, I purchased a flip yesterday. It is a mini video camera that takes short movies. It is about the size of a cell phone. It is pretty handy and maybe I will take it out and shoot numerous life moments of mainly my dog and daughter. We will see what happens. Like cameras, I need them to be in front of me in order to use them. Anyways, life has kind of been on hiatus.  I get depressed about the nature of our city, county, state and country.  It is this ugly trickle down effect. I just do my own thing everyday.  Somedays, I think to just get up and do what ever comes to mind which is frightening.  First class ticket to Paris please?

Rainy weekend

I love the sound of rain. I just don't like being in the rain. Hopefully, it will stop raining by the time I get up and do errands today. This weekend, nothing is happening. Last nt. I saw the Rocker on DVD and fell asleep to A GOOD YEAR with Russell Crowe. The Good Year DVD stopped about 45 min into the movie. This pissed me off so I fell asleep. Anyways, I may try again later by wiping the disc off with windex and then slipping it back in the player.

Out and About

So this week, i was out and about. On Thurs. Nite, I went and saw my long lost friend at the casba. It was a good experience, got to chat for a tiny bit about how we are doing, what we have been doing and just catching up in general. Great to see talent not go to waste. Lots of people were there, ran into a old french class mate and a couple of girls who were staying a the beach hostel even the Mayor. Travellers... to be young. Anyways, I am glad I went and realize I am too old to be staying up so late on a "school" night. On Sat. I went to a friend/neighbor/business associate's brithday party, All her friends were quite nice and I would totally hang with them again. Anyways, this week was 2 for 2, 2 nights of drinks, 2 nights with no vomit. Amazing. Note to self, Nightclubs/Bars are totally hilarious. I would never purposely hang out with one, but if thrown into the situation...take it with a grain of salt. Don't do it too often or you may end up broke. I know I spent $100 this week on these 2 places alone. Thats a lot of mac and cheese... Sunday, I went to lunch with Suzanne and her bf. The beach was warm and cozy..nice quick walk afterwards and then off to Ed's mom for dinner, where she got a new dog that I am not quite sure what to make of him. He's cute but still has some issues. Sounds like lots of people I know. It's February already!!! Obviously, spring is here already. It has been the 70's here in SD for the past week. Cheers..

Come on Universe

I am so tired of the world being so f**cked up. I just want everything to be productive and happy again. It is all doom and gloom. All this greed has gone down the totem pole and now it is going back up to where it started. I am continuing to live the simple life, no drama, no craziness. Just raising the family trying to protect them from the outside world of negativity. Looking outside my glass house, life needs to get better for the rest of the Americans and the world for that matter. I am truly grateful for what i have and the people who surround me. Anyways universe...get a move on. Love, Me

Early Sunday Morning- UPDATE as of 3/12

Getting up in the middle of the night is becoming a huge habit. Stuff in my head that keeps popping up. Maybe there is not enough time in the day. So here are my thoughts for now. Things in my head to get accomplished:

1. gut and redecorate my office -  NOT DONE YET

2. look into running the r and r marathon....4 months to train is doable.- NIX

3. learning how to fuse plastic bags into plastic material using plastic bags and old magazine clippings to make things like wallets and clutches. - NEEDS PRACTICE

4. still the sewing debacle- NEED LESSONS AND A MACHINE

5. printmaking class- SOON

6. setting time aside for self-taught french lessons- NOT YET

7. watching films I like to be inspired. - GETTING THERE

8. being more productive yet rested.

9. Sleeping through the night

10. better at the volunteer service thing.....

where have I been

I have been here, there and everywhere. I saw my grandma, where she lives and how her town is. It is perfect for her. She lives in Yuma half the yr. and the other half in the same town as my aunt and uncle up in N. CA. I think that is a great mix of places for a gal her age. I am more of a city girl myself, I am still young and trying out new things. It really puts things in perspective. My reflection on this, comes to the conclusion- there is more I can do. I tend to think of all the things I can do but never act on them. I see that my home office is a total disaster and I can turn it into a cool room, I just am not up to the work right now. I have to make those action plans. Right now, they are all thoughts... There are things I should be making but I tend to lump the steps together and make it a huge chore, when i should be breaking everything down into small manageable steps. My brain is one big blob of goo right now, it is functional, just not fashionable. So right now where am I, I am trying to train myself out of bad habits. Bad habits of setting my low expectations because it is easier for me to get through life easier. Stop being practical rather than tactical. Doing things for me. What do I want to learn? What do I want to experience? What do I want to accomplish? Those are things I need to find out because I am always changing and everything is evolving in my head. Unfortunately, I am yet to take on those life challenges. I should of been there by now. So as of today, I will explore the roadmap in my head and follow it in the orders it takes me.

history being told

Watching the inauguration on tv right now,truly proud, and it is so cool how many people showed up. I got tickets, but the trek out to that was too costly. It is much warmer watching on my hdtv. I can't explain my joyness and inspiration I feel right now. Yay!!!

crazy..

I am not one to look back..but it has been weird I have been on my own for fourteen yrs. now, I left home at nineteen. Anyways, I looked at my local newspaper website and thought I saw someone I knew in a band picture playing at the local "cool" club. Did some internet searches and sure enough it was him, I used to work with him. I actually went on a date with him once. I thought he was an odd one but cool at the same time. Who knew...trips me out that things are going well for him. Anyways, I am not one to be nostalgic, I would love to say hi, how are you doing.. that kind of banter. I am a mom and am happily married and lead a Cosby Show life and you? It makes things interesting. Anyways, just an observation. I sometimes wonder all the what ifs...I am happy with my crossroads. I enjoyed this reflection. I love to sit back and watch on the progression of life. Now back to watching sitcoms and working 9 to 5. Yay me.

Brand New Year

Seems I only blog when I can't sleep so forgive me if you read incoherent caca. I am diligently keeping track of my purchases on my other blog.. Purchases I made today..which I so far have managed to pile up three days...notes everywhere in my electronic notepads throughout my email and ipod touch. My Ipod touch.. it is genius. I love it, what a time waster. It is that in a good way. I have applications galore, what is on tv, games, koi ponds, facebook applications... you name it. It is not the iphone, which doesn't bother me because I like my ghetto razr. It works and connects to the bluetooth speaker phone in my car- I think that is all that matters. I have to say, the holidays came and went.. which is a good thing. I did take a mini-trip to SF and also saw my folks and family in Modesto. All in all... pretty painless. This year I am blaring the positive vibes....maybe they should make yoga class mandatory for them politicians they seem to blare the negatives lately. In a perfect world.

Gingerbread house making

This year, it was simple.  Take kit and make it with just the items it came with.  I got into a fight with the frosting, but other than that it was a piece of cake, no falling walls on the house, this year unlike last year. The trees were another story.  Anyways, enjoy the pics of gingerbread house makin' 2008...

It's Friday

Elise awoke me this morning. She drank a whole bottle of water before she went to bed. I guess she knows what happens if she does this so close to her bedtime. So I am wide awake now, almost 2 in the morning, when most of San Diego is asleep right now. I will go back to sleep after I wind down but I always feel like a zombie in the morning. The weeks have flown by. Ed already had his holiday party, we stayed the night at the HR hotel in downtown SD. So once a yr., it is a valid excuse to drink too much. Luckily, this time, I did not vomit. It was nice to see how partiers do it once in a while and how spending too much money feels like, without actually spending it (company party, company tab). Also, on my adventure last weekend, I ate fish. I never eat fish, but the funny thing, the fish wasn't fishy. But I am not a fish eater, so that was my hazy experience eating fish. This week has gone by too fast. The massive consumer holiday christmas is almost among us. I did not buy myself the Ipod touch I want. This year, I will pass on buying for myself. I do need gym socks though, maybe that will be my splurge. It feels weird seeing commercials for stores like Mervyns on the tv, saying they are closing their doors forever. I think that is where I bought my childhood wardrobe. Sadness on the memories of watching the open open commercials and the brands like ellemenno, cheetah, etc.. fade away. This holiday isn't like all the others that we will have massive present opening sessions. But at least we have each other.

Paris on my mind

Tout le temps.... mais pas le temps. Translation: All the time, but not the weather. Now how can le temps, mean the time and the weather?? I love sunny and warm. I guess that is why I live in San Diego. Also, I am not financially stable to travel right now. I have to keep my job secure and cannot spend any discretionary income. Did I mention real estate is worth nada anymore. Nada equals no credit lines. If I can have goals, then my goal is 2010....Paris awaits me again.. If I do not spend (see spending blog, starting Jan. 09), I will go to the city of lights. I am still learning this difficult language with my dictionary always by my side in class. I am even on Paris time... It is apres midi there now. But soon, I will return to San Diego time...otherwise I may turn into a pumpkin *(potiron), possibly at work today. C'est la vie.

BLACK FRIDAY

Why the name Black Friday for the ritual of buying countless things that you don't need, get a discount on gifts on things other people won't need?  I am sure I can wikipedia the origin, but I it is almost 5 am and I am too lazy.  I am not going anywhere on Friday, I am not going shopping, I do not need a useless mp3 player that holds 10 songs or a dvd player that plays special dvds  that makes the picture a tad better. I have an amazon.com wishlist, all of these things I don't need but want.  Someday, little by little, I may get them.  Right now, they look good on that wishlist.  What I wish for is a three-month trip to Paris...all expenses paid, my job on hold and family that can come or wait for me to get back from Paris.  I would really want to take my dog Stewie.  My other confession... watching a Parisian Bakery webcam around 8 in the evening, they are baking their morning bread in this cool oven.  And another thought, why do I buy things as gifts that I want to keep for myself.  There are these cool earrings I bought on etsy.  I am not sure who I want to give them to , I was thinking Elise (she says the rhyme from time to time), but she may loose them, that is what 6 year old girls do.   I want to say on this Thanksgiving morning at 5 am.  I am thankful for having a roof over my head to shelter this hard falling rain from me, my friends and family, a job, food to feed my family and for the internet to keep all that is far near to me.  I am going to go back to bed now.
