Snails pace..

Ever realize how long it takes a day you look forward to to actually get here?
I'm going to Vegas this weekend for my birthday, and I can hardly wait. I can't wait to see my friends, visit my co-workers. I on some levels feel that I wasnt really ready to pick up and move, but some things u just have to do...regardless, because it is the right thing.
Better try to get some sleep...restless nights are making the week longer and longer!
Night night

Hurray For 2006!

I turn 38 today. It's funny, I'm never one of those people who feels older. Now don't get me wrong, I have my days where it hurts to get ot of bed and I definatly feel the old age kicking in...I just mean in general. Most people, upon meeting me think I'm still in my 20's & and in all honesty I still feel like I am. In fact yesterday when I went into a mini mart to buy cigarettes for a friend I GOT CARDED!!! Can you believe THAT?? COme on, I SERIOUSLY don't look 18!!! hahaha Anyway, I've never worried about a birthday, never stressed getting older, never wished I was younger and have yet to have a birthday that I was "looming" over me. Alot of my girlfriends, most of them actually, always worry about their age. 25 is the first milestone, then 30, and then somehow the next "worry age" seems to be 40. What happens to those 10 yrs in between?? ha ha. I've always found the "mid life crisis" thing funny too. We all age, it's a fact of life...just look around you, everyone is doin' it.
So this birthday, is pretty much like the rest. Only it is so much different. SO much better.
Ya see...I have just come out of one of the worst years of my life.
Literally.
And anyone with kids will understand this statement at some point in the their lives.
Since my move, everything feels new. Everything is in place, and going just as it should. The sun is always shining and the glass is always 1/2 full. I vowed this would be a year to let by-gones be by-gones. To make amends, to renew friendships & to make sure and nuture relationships with everyone I love, make posative changes, work out more, actually get my Real Estate Lic, go back to school...and generally just give myself permission to do the things that feel good. Live everyday to the fullest, and achieve all that I desire in my life. And so far, it is working fabulously well.
I've been spending alot of quality time with my 87 year old Gram. She has macular degeneration, and is legally blind. She can see, just not details. So I;ve been painting her nails, taking her shopping in Santa Barbara, walking on the beach. It's so nice to be home and near the people that I love the most. I will never take that for granted again.

So to sum it up, I think this is one of the BEST Birthday's I've had. Not only is everything well in life, but I'm back in Vegas hangin on the strip and with all of my friends for 5 days!! Woooo Hooooo!! So nice to be back as a tourist as opposed to a resident =) Im ready to have sum funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!


Peace out, and have a nice weekend!!

Rain Rain Go Away....

The weather in California seems to have dramatically changed since I left.
"Feels like once upon a time...in a land far far away"...Completely different.
Last week it was in the high 80's, maybe even hotter(you have to remember the beaches in Southern California have very mild weather, and it usually fluctuates between 55-85, and 85 is practically a heat wave) On top of it being blazing hot, two days later it is FREEZING and raining! No wonder no one can get over being SICK!!

Aside from the weather, being home is great! Being 5 minutes from my parents and my brother and his fiance is wonderful. I've seen my brother practically every day since I got back and I feel like we are kids again. We've always been close, but I feel like is a totally new experience. In all honesty I can't even imagine not living close to him again. Wierd how time changes things. I also have the feeling that I will never live far from the water again, regardless of where I live. I have grown up my entire life near the beach, never more than a 1/8th of a mile from the water. My nights were filled being lulled to sleep by the sound of the figuring. Now I'm back on my turf, living on Silver Strand Beach and loving every moment of it. Now the foghorns are alot closer than they used to be, they are at the end of my street...and my yard has sand in it =)
I have grown up my entire life on this beach. Alot of my "firsts" in life and life experiences have happened on this beach. It's a beautiful place. The Jetty...the Ship, all of the little resturants. It's like its own little community. There is only one 2 lane road and that is the only way on/off the beach.
The VERY best part of living in my own little haven is the view I have to and from work. The view as I drive onto my beach is amazing, anytime of day, any type of weather...and it's 2 seconds from my front door. I thought I'd share some of what I see on my drive home with some of u that might not have the opportunity to see the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean =)
It's the most beautiful place I have ever seen a sunset, and it happens every night!

Enjoy.

IM BACCCCCCCCCCCCCCK!!!

I know it has been a long time since I have posted. Between relocating, the holidays, being sick with that GOD AWFUL flu and then being diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease in my back..posting on my blog has been the LEAST of my concerns. I've really missed reading my favorite blogs(see my links list) and am ready to dive back in. I've been without a computer through all of this, and now that issue is resolved. New computer and a KICK ass high speed cable modem. I just opted to pay more and get the fastest I could =) We all have our vices in life. Mine is the internet...hahaha. And men, shoes, pot....I guess I have alot more than some.

So being back online is a great thing. Catching up on old emails...and reading celebrity smut. I was just looking at People.com and read that Tori Spelling is getting REMARRIED!!! Didnt she
just wed and then dump a husband a few months ago?? How on earth do u do that and then manage to be engaged to a completely different man in a few months time. Damn...Im thinking
I must be wired wrong. Hard enough for me to commit in the first place, but once I do and my heart is involved...I cant imagine being able to be over onerelationship and ready to commit to another MARRIAGE in 4 months time. Sheesh. Gives one something to ponder over. I'm all ready to dive into sex to help heal the heart...and to get the blood runnin. Another marriage. HA HA HA...not my style.
Men in my life.... well, that is a completely different story and meant for another post!

Time to go out with friends to a nice little resturant on the little beach that I now call home. Valentines Day is meant for good food, and close friends...even those that u arent intimate with...
Cant just sit home, might as well make thebest of a beautiful evening...

As soon as I get all my software for tmy new digital camera loaded, I will post some pics of my new place and the ocean...til then...have fun!!!!!
