BORED

2011-08-17T20:48:00.000-07:00

Okay so I'm home and alone. I need to get some energy out and I should be hitting the gym but it's too hot to go anywhere. 114 today--yuck. I don't do the blog much anymore but maybe this will be a creative way to keep me busy. Work is DEAD and no wonder. Why would anyone want to come to the desert when it is 114?? I will survive the heat and just need to keep busy. TV is boring me and I should finish my book but I don't think I can sit still. The kitten would love to play with me as she jumps in her kitty condo aka. two left over moving boxes but she will have to wait until later to play. A friend suggested I get another kitten to play with with but I will pass to that recommendation. I don't want to be the crazy cat lady.
I keep getting this feeling that I need to get into comedy. I know I could give Chelsea Handler a run for her money. She is getting sloppy and I know I have way funnier stories than her. Now if I just had a talented sister who would edit my work and help me on my book. Oh wait I do.. she passed on the idea. All I can say is that I will not change names to protect people. It's just funner that way.
My early stories of childhood, sibling rivarly, having an older sister who was so smart she could french braid her own hair. That was the lead in from my dad to introduce us kids. I think I just got a this is Lisa..she taught the dog to stay in his dog house by putting up and laundry basket to block him from geting out. This was before the "dog whisperer" existed. The whole NO dating in High School. Me awaiting to get my first kiss from a guy when my friend piped up and said "you want to kiss Lisa?" Getting set up with a boy who had a slight case of Down syndrome.
Going out with a set up type situation where the guy asked me if he could buy me breakfast the next morning and me thinking wow he was going to come to my house, meet my parents and take me to breakfast. Going to the grocery store for my mother to have "customer Lisa King please come to customer service" over the PA while I see my High School love crush there with his mom.
Or another favorite is when I had my friend set me up with her brother for a phone call date (he lived North I lived South) And he fell asleep on the phone. It got really silent on the other end and then the snoring began. I think my friend teased me about that for a month.
Ya I think I could write a good book and have great material for some stand-up. Maybe they have stand-up for dummies?

Missing My Macey

Love and Miss you

A Must See !!

2011-04-07T22:21:00.001-07:00

Jane Eyre is finally out in the theaters. I went last weekend with a friend and it was amazing. My friend is English and so that was an extra bonus to be with a Brit. This would be a great movie to see with some gal pals. Check it out.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERUL MOTHER

2010-07-01T08:58:00.000-07:00

Today is my Mom's Birthday. I gave her a call and thanked her for being a good Mom and was remembering some fun stories that she has forgotten about. Growing up I will totally admit we were bratty kids--or as the Spark's would say "the King brats" We used to fight with each other and the last thing we would want to do was spend time at our own house finding other families homes more fun. My Mother would work a full time job and have to come home to inpatient kids waiting for dinner and having to do regular Mom duties. My Mom is a super hard working woman and kind hearted. I remember one time I had an argument with my Mom and got sent to my room and fell asleep and woke up to a little Smurf doll in my pocket. My Mom was not a strict Mom and I'm thankful for that. She put in late hours, put up with fighting kids--lots of sibling rivalry in our house which is something that she wasn't used too growing up as the youngest child in her family. But now that I have personally met my mate I am so thankful for everything that she has taught me. She raised kids to have manners, to be kind to others. To remember what life is all about. To live my life righteously, and to have a strong work ethic. Your a great Mom!!!Happy Birthday I hope it is a great one and I'm sorry that I'm not close to celebrate your special day with you. I love you Mom--your little helper Lisa

VEGAS

2010-06-05T13:44:00.000-07:00

I was able to escape to Las Vegas with a few friends and have a fun Batchelorette Party. It was very overdue to relax and chill following a busy work season--I was ready to unwind. We stayed at the Planet Hollywood. We were at the pool made a trip to Cafe Rio and hit up a couple of fun clubs. I had a blast and I'm so thankful for the time to unwind and for my good friend Sarah to help put on the event. Here are some fun pictures

A SERIOUS MUST SEE

2010-03-24T20:58:00.001-07:00

When I took Anatomy for Massage School it was so interesting that I felt everyone should take the class to see how the body works. Well I saw a great movie that I never got the chance to see in the theaters. Michael Moore's Capitalism--A love story
I loved his other movies and knew I would enjoy his latest. Everyone should see it--no matter what your political views---Why you ask? Because you will see that they are ALL crooks. He shows it to you--plain as day. Sign of the times? Probably. Is the way that we live now really the way Christ would like us to live? Probably not. What I like about the movie is that it isn't Michael Moore's opinion. He just asks questions and the people who have either worked with the government or the banks spell it out that it is a super crooked system. Rent it!!!!

MY FAVORITE SHOW

2010-03-24T20:41:00.000-07:00

So many of you know that our family is really into "The Young and the Restless" I even explained it a little to Aaron while he was here. My brother even knows what is going on because Juline watches it as well. Well Ashley's baby wasn't really hers, it was Sharon's baby that was told died at birth. My favorite Character Phyliss had the opportunity to still keep it a secret after she found the lost letter that held the truth in it. She even got as close as to light a flame to possibly burn it. But she did the right thing and let everyone know that Sharon's baby was really alive. Sound silly? It might to others but I firmly believe that Y&R is the best show on TV.

BOYS STINK

2009-11-12T08:29:00.000-08:00

I know it sounds a little imature but it's true. Boys stink!! It sucks being single and being out there looking for my prince is ROUGH. I think I'm calling it quits. The challenge to go out into the universe and find a man as good as my Dad is squashed. Or as my friend Heidi would say "I'm done" (I might make up some T-shirts saying that). I have a feeling that before I came on this earth I had my list of everything I wanted to acomplish and I don't know if there was a mix up somewhere and my list went into the shredder or someone else got my list???
Sounds sad??--well it is!!! So the only thing I think of to do is really start writing my book. I think I might just start tape recording my storys because I can't type fast enough and then my sister could help out transcribing and editing it for me. I think it will be a best seller and when people realize how funny it is I'll take my act on the road!!!

SUMMER IS OVER

2009-09-08T15:17:00.001-07:00

Summer is over. I had a good visit to Utah to see the family and visit with friends. It was strange seeing all the things in Utah that I miss living in California. The green mountains and all the F-16's flying over the house. I had fun playing with Adi and Kohen. They are getting so big and cute. Adi had a little sleep over at Grandma's house and it was fun to get all the little japanese toys out to play with. It was nice to visit with Grandma King in Kaysville. I feel bad I missed her party but I did get to see her on her 95th birthday. I got a chance to see an old neighbor that lived across the street and visit with her family. Dyan May was a year older than me but we were pretty food friends. We chatted non-stop that night and I'm thankful to her kids and husband for letting us catch up. We had lots to gossip about of who married who and who had passed away at such a young age.
I then got to visit with my cousin Melissa in Lehi and see her kids for the first time--which I feel bad about because her oldest is 6 so that tells you it has been awhile since I saw her.
A great visit but I was glad to get home. I hate leaving Mya for too long even though I had someone looking in on her and she doesn't even like me.
Then on Wednesday the 2nd I got to go to Disneyland with Jeff and Juline and the kids and Mom. I have been once but it was kinda a fluke and we were basically there for dinner and rode on one ride. So this trip I got to experience the whole park. I loved Space Mountain and riding the tea cups with Jeff as we spun around like crazy!! It was super hot and muggy--due to the monsoon's but there were no lines and it wasn't that crowded. Juline and Jeff said it was the best trip ever. It was so fun to see little Adi meet all the princesses and to hear her say her name was "Princess Adi". Oh and lets not forget the little ladies man Kohen. He LOVED the princesses. Such the little ham with all the pictures. While we were waiting for the fireworks show there was a little girl that saw Kohen and was putting on a little show for him to get his attention. She even crouched down like she was "dropping it like it's hot" I guess you had to be there to see it. I had a great time with them and I'm glad I went. Thanks Mom & Dad for the B-day present. I wish that Jenn and Dad could have come---maybe next time. Favorite parts of Disneyland---The monte Cristo sandwich, The tour guide on the safari ride--he cracked me up saying that the zebra was just taking a nap while the lions were protecting it. Adi saying that she wasn't scared during "It's a small world" Being the last one to get to meet Miney Mouse in line. Drinking that yummy cherry lemonade when it was so freaking hot and I felt like I might die--or my mother might have a heat stroke. Great Trip--I need to go more often!!! Oh sorry there aren't any pictures. I never bring my camera--so check out Jeff's blog

New Favorite Book

2009-08-10T20:56:00.000-07:00

So i have decided that I get really passionate about stuff and tell everyone I know about it. I'm thinking I would be really good in PR because of this but Jenn says I would need a degree--so I'll pass on that. But in the meantime I am so passionate about the book "Why Men Love Bitches" by Sherry Argov. She also wrote "Why Men Marry Bitches" Now please don't get offended by the title. It's not telling you to be mean or cruel in any way shape or form. Just teaches you how to NOT be a doormat. When I read "he's just not that into you" I thought I would never make a mistake in the men department and after reading these books I realized I was making ALL the mistakes. I suggest every woman--married or single to read these books. It gives a great insight to that male perspective. I am learning so much and boy do I get lost of questions when I read them in public with the title displayed-- Check them out--AMAZON.com

IT WAS FREAKING STREP THROAT

2009-08-10T20:34:00.000-07:00

I went to Girls Camp for a day and half and still had a sore throat although I was on Anti-biotics. I came home and suffered a day more then called the Dr. to see what the crap?? I went in on Friday and got another medication and called in sick to work and one of the girls there confirmed that she had strep and it was going around. I will feel bad if I spred any germs--although I doubt it because I was on a form of medicine. Z pack to the rescue I guess.
So I know everyone knows the scene in the movie The Matrixx where the girl needs to learn how to fly a helicopter and they install a memory program into her and she miraclously knows how to fly the machine. I wish this was possible. I would learn so many things--I'd really love to know everything a Dr. knows, a pharmisist, a vet and a mechanic. So some may think "Go back to school and learn this stuff" or as my Dad would proably say "read a book." But I would rather have the knowledge just planted in my brain. Oh that and I would love to be able to play the piano perfectly--with no lessons. I had a great teacher and she was right saying I would regret later quitting lessons. But the hard work just isn't for me!!! And school--I hate school. I hope my future kids like it because I will totally be on their side if they want a day or two off.

TONCILITIS IS FOR KIDS!!!!

2009-08-02T16:22:00.000-07:00

On Thursday I started having a scratchy throat so I doped up on the Aiborne and the Echinacea. But as the days progressed It didn't go away and knowing that I am headed to girls camp on tuesday I would hate to be sick up on the mountain. I headed to the doctor Sunday morning and instead of hearing STREP THROAT or SINUS infection I was diagnoised with TONCILITIS?? And it does feel like I am swallowing a toncil. So where does one contract this when one isn't working and has mostly stayed at home all week?? Oh yes I remember--I touched a kid, twice. It was my friends kid and I doubt the child was ill but I have theory's about me and kids. My theory is they get me sick!!!!!
But Meds should kick in and I should be good to go to camp on Tuesday. Thank goodness I have lots of popcicles in the freezer!!!
I remember when we were little the three of us kids were always getting strep throat. There was always a bottle of pink anti-biotics in the fridge or when you got older you could opt for the pill form or if you didn't want the hassel and were feeling brave you would go for the Anti-biotic shot which hurt like hell and you Ass would be in pain for 24 hours. My Dad would always blame it on the dishwasher thinking it wasn't getting the dishes clean enough and thought we should clean them by hand. But the whole time it was my little bratty brother Jeffrey speading his germs to us. When he finally got his toncils out he was proably in the 2nd grade we never got strep again. I did feel for the little guy---He was on bed rest and was getting lots of fluids and popscicles and unfortunatly it was when the soda "SLICE" came out and my mom gave him some and it burned his poor little throat. I remember him screaming.

I'M GOING TO GIRLS CAMP

2009-07-24T10:11:00.000-07:00

I'm headed to girls camp in August. They were needing more women to supervise the girls and came up short this year so I thougt it would be fun to get out of the heat and head to Big Bear (I've never been) It will just be overnight for me because I will be house sitting on the 5th but I will be taking up a couple of girls Tuesday morning and staying the night and then leaving late Wednesday night. I guess it's not a really roughing it type of girls camp and they have showers and everything---Totally different from when I went to camp. I'm excited to go as long as I don't have to hike. One year for girls camp they informed us that we were stopping at Mt. Tipanogas cave and never said it was going to be a freaking hike. We didn't even stretch before and if anyone has hiked that before knows it is straight up and paved with cement. I hate hiking and have a low endurance so I wasn't surprise that the severe obese girl in the ward made it up the hike before I did. So no hiking for me!!! I can't wait for the yummy camp food and I'm excited to wear a sweatshirt.

HOT SUMMER

2009-07-24T09:56:00.000-07:00

Wow I'ts been hot down here. Summer is slow with work and I have been spending my days laying out at the pool. I'm getting a great tan but going broke at the same time. I am thinking about sending in a picture of my great tan to the State of California's department of Unemployment explaining to them what I have been up too. I guess that might get me in trouble?? But honestly I would rather be working. Unfortunatly with this heat no one comes down to the desert in July and August so it is a ghostown here. Thank goodness for dog sitting and some of my private clients that are still here.

Just me Feeling Pretty (or Vain-- per Jeff)

2009-07-10T08:53:00.000-07:00

VIP

2009-06-26T15:21:00.000-07:00

I went out to a popular club last night in Palm Desert and got VIP status with some friends. It was fun dancing and chilling with friends. Well this super SEXY HOT guy was in the VIP section and he looked familiar to me like an old flame but it turned out to be Adnan Ghalib. Who is the hell is that your thinking?? He is the paparitzi photographer guy that was dating Britney Spears. I have always thought he was a hottie but oh ya--he is pretty to look at. I got the chance to walk by him and I smiled and said Hi and he smiled back and responded with a Hi back. Is the guy an A lister--no but he was HOT and famous enough for me!!! I love California!!!

I'M SO MAD AT NICK

2009-06-01T11:13:00.000-07:00

I'm furious at Nick Newman. Why in the world he chose to be with Sharon over Phyliss is beyond me?? Sharon is a slutty mess and she deserves to be alone in life with her mistakes. Nick is my favorite charcter in the show and he and Phyliss are a perfect match and the fact that Sharon keeps getting in the way really upsets me. Ya so they had a couple of kids together and Sharon was his first love but it's over and only deserves Jack. But I really get mad when she goes to Nick for comfort and he gives it to her. Oh and don't even get me started on Adam---what a creep!!! I love Young and the Restless--best show on TV!!!

MTV MOVIE AWARDS

2009-05-31T20:06:00.001-07:00

The MTV Movie Awards was on tonight and it was awesome. It had tons of Twilight stuff on it and Robert Pattenson looked amazing. They showed a clip of the upcoming New Moon and it looked killer good. It got me pumped to know it's coming out this fall and I will be first in line!!!
Oh let's not forget that it was the season finale of The Hills tonight. I freaking love that show and they are going to continue the show next season without Lauren and are going to add Kristen Cavalari--and I love that girl!!! I know that people think it's fake and stuff but I love to see the fashion and the hairstyles. Now that I live in Cali I have to keep up with the styles--with the exception of the headbands around the head--that is just tacky.

MEMORIAL WEEKEND

2009-05-25T17:28:00.000-07:00

I was out Sunday night with a friend and I saw Dr. Rey and his little family from the Dr90210 reality show. As soon as I saw him I announced loudly "Hey there's the Dr. 90210 guy" My friend tried to shoosh me but it was too late. He was wearing his sunglasses (at night) and he was talking to his kids who were chatting back and his wife was right at their side (all 95 pounds of her) It's crazy to see celebrities out on the street. I would love to hit the streets of LA and catch a glimpse of all the stars. That is still on my list of things to do while I live here in California.

IT'S ALREADY MAY????

2009-05-13T17:19:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it's already May?
Work is drying up and I am a little concerned what I am going to do for money this summer. Most of the clients leave the first week of May so most everyone is gone. Memorial weekend will be busy but it is early this year (who came up with that idea) and one of my jobs will end after that. I am thinking of picking up a waitress job. I figure I can work late at night because I'm still single and what is sleep? when I would rather have money!!! I am looking into restaurants that will be open late so I might end up at Denny's--who knows?? I have never been a waitress but I think my kick butt personality can smooth over any mistakes I might make when taking orders. When I went to Dennys to get an application the manager got all excited when I told him I was looking for a night job. I think he wanted to hire me on the spot. Now I live where there are super nice restaurants but with no experience I better stick to a basic diner type place. Somewhere I might already know the menu. I mean who doesn't love Denny's?? The SuperBird--that is a classic, especially late at night!!!

CUTE NEW FIND

2009-04-07T10:35:00.000-07:00

There is a lady in my church ward that makes these cute necklace pendants from scrabble tiles and she has a cute selection and also has some Twilight ones that you might be intrested in. The site is ETSY.COM and her page is HOMESTUDIO Have fun!!

STONES RUN IN THE FAMILY

2009-03-30T12:38:00.000-07:00

I have to admitt that so far this year has SUCKED!! I have been sick and missed alot of work and the money is running low. Work is picking up and I am trying to add myself on the books wherever I can. Spring Breaks are going on right now so it is bringing in more traffic to the Desert. Alot of people are avoiding Mexico so they are bussing alot of spring breakers into Palm Springs which is bringing in much needed money into our pockets. My parents are on a Hawaiian crusise and I wish I could have gone with them. I feel like I need a break although I haven't worked enough to earn one.
And another crappy add is that my baby Macey is sick. She has bladder stones and needs surgery. There is no way that I can afford the cost of surgery for her so we are trying to break up the stones by changing her diet and medication. She seems fine but she still has blood in her urine and she is a pee pee machine--poor thing. I hope that she gets better I would be heartbroken if I lost her. She is 12 and I know that she can't love forever but it would be a devastating loss that words could not explain. I got her when alot of my friends were having babies and she was mine. She is my best buddy and she is always at my side--except when I talk on the phone. She will get up from a deep sleep and go under the bed--weird? Maybe I talk too loud?? I love you Macey, Get Better!!!

SICK OF BEING SICK

2009-03-08T19:42:00.000-07:00

Dammitt!! I'm sick again. I'm sick of being sick. I hate missing work and I ended up not working at all this weekend because of a bug. I feel like crap and there is no one here to take care of me--which makes it worse. And no the Merry Maids don't come either. I think of all the money I missed out on making and it makes it worse. I do my best to take care of myself--I take vitamins, what the heck I can't catch a break. Too many hospital visits this year and too many sick days off so early in the year. I am a workaholic and I hate not making money. Especially since it has been super slow this season. Hopefully I will start feeling better tomorrow and things will look up.

A MUST SEE MOVIE

2009-02-19T09:41:00.000-08:00

I saw Confessions of a Shopaholic over the weekend and loved it. I laughed out loud throughout the entire movie. The fashion was amazing and Isla Fisher is a great actress in this film. And guys--if you get dragged to this movie I promise you will enjoy it as well. Watching this movie gets me excited for the new Sex and The City movie that is in the works. I was kinda sad to see one of my favorite actresses Joan Cusack playing an older mom. I don't think she is that old and it was a little far fetched for me. But it was a MUST SEE!!!!

STRESSED OUT!!!!!!

2009-02-18T08:14:00.000-08:00

I'm a little stressed out. Things haven't been going the way I would like them to go these last few days. I hate the U.S. Postal Service. They suck!! It's all about UPS. Let's see....I caught a little bug that was going around and was sick for a few days. I'll thank Kyleigh for that one. I was already exhausted from being sick but I babysat the kids friday and saturday night and when saturday rolled around I had promised to send the kids to bed early and get to bed early to recover but ended up staying up till midnight doing Kyleigh's homework. I had to wake up early that next morning and get myself ready for work and start some laundry, clean up after the dogs and make the kids breakfest. Then go to work. I was such a MOM. Now I don't know how all you MOM's do it? Plus I get paid and I know you don't.
Work has been busy which is a good thing and this is where I can relax--which seems weird because I do really work hard but I get in to the zone and it really calms me down. My internet went down and had to get a new router which is frustrating because if anyone knows me knows I'm retarded when it comes to that stuff but this is where I give my props to UPS. I called Verizon sunday night and I got my new router Tuesday morning--Oh ya FYI UPS doesn't take off all thoes stupid government holidays like the postal service.
Hopefully things will get better because my parents are coming to see me on Sunday and are going to stay for a week. The weather is looking sunny so I am hoping for a better week. But seriously I am thankful that I still have my job and that besides the sniffles I am healthy and I have my family to love. And last but not least Macey and Mya are always there to keep me company.

GREAT MOVIE

2009-02-01T11:42:00.000-08:00

I watched SMART PEOPLE last night and I thought it was brilliant! Of course you know I love Sarah Jessica Parker but this movie had such great writing the movie just flowed so well. The time flew by while watching it and I love when movies don't have a point where you feel you can get up during it to take a break. Dennis Quaid looked terrible and I would never kiss him looking that way but he protrayed the character of the miserable professor where all his students hate him and he is just going throught the motions of life perfect. Ellen Page had fantastic lines in this movie and is going to do great things in her movie career. Thomas Haden Church's role in the movie was classic. This is a must see if you haven't seen it already. Rent it tonight!!!!

THIS MASCARA ROCKS!!

2009-01-29T12:58:00.000-08:00

If your looking for that Kardashian long lash look--you should buy this Loreal mascara. It is the double extend with the beauty tubes. It is a two step process so it takes a lttle longer to apply. But it works!! A little hint to make the lashes super long is to not let the white step dry after you apply the dark coat. Then re-apply to make them longer--Check it out. Usually the drugstores have it on sale.

10 TIMES

2009-01-24T20:31:00.000-08:00

I had a scary little trip to the emergency room yesterday. I went to work and started having terrible chest pains. My co-workers suggested that it was indigestion from my lunch but I had never felt that kind of pain in my life. My boss hooked me up to the blood pressure machine and I had a high reading. And I also took some tums hoping it was just indigestion but when word got around the club that I was having chest pains several members insisted that I head to the E.R. They rushed me right in and gave hooked me up to an EKG. I then met the doctor and he recognized me from the club and promised he was going to take extra good care of me. They were going to start an IV and get me some pain killers to ease the pain. When the first nurse came in to start the IV I told him good luck and warned him that I have terrible veins and that they are super deep. After the second guy attempted to get a vein he hit a tendon and talk about pain. I was in tears and the EX-Ray guy felt bad for me that I was crying. They later gave up on starting an IV and just focused on getting blood. Three more people later and they finally got blood. I counted 10 pokes and two blown veins. My tests came back with normal readings and the doctor diagnosed me with Costcochrondritis. It is inflamation in the rib cartilage and causes major chest pain. I was so glad it wasn't indigestion but glad it wasn't something worse. They were concerned it was a blood clot in my lungs but thank goodness it wasn't.
My parents were worried about me and I think they realized how far away I am from them. I'm grateful I have good friends and I know I always have my awesome church leaders close. I have the next couple of days off to recover. I feel like someone beat me up and my arms are a mess. I'm affraid that I am on the wall of shame at the hospital. I was definately a challange to the staff that day.

I LOVE SJP

2009-01-18T19:36:00.000-08:00

I love Sarah Jessica Parker. I have to admitt that it took me awhile to apreciate her especially in Sex and the City where the fashion to me seemed crazy. But I just love her little quirks that she has. She has a little scream that is more of a squeal and she makes that noise it in all her movies. I was feeling nostalgic and watched the first of Footloose today and boy has her look changed. I loved her in Girls just want to have Fun back in the day and I love everything that she has recently done. I know many of you think she is UGLY and can't stand her (Jeff) but she is one of my favorites.

FUN WEEKEND

2009-01-18T18:55:00.000-08:00

I had a fun weekend with the Roberts kids. I got to watch them overnight and we had a blast. Tyler had a big report due Tuesday that we had to work on. It was an essay about the book Farenheit 451. I never read the book back in the day and as I read the notes that he pulled off the internet I quickly learned that the book is totally stupid. I hated the whole force you to read certain books back when I was in school. When I was in the 6th grade we had to read a short story about the Martins coming to town and as I was reading, it didn't make any sense to me. Who the hell are the Martins? And why do I care if they are coming to town? It wasn't untill later I realized it was the Martians --as in space aliens. Am I dyslexic, retarded, maybe a little!! But I am good at the BS and I can write up a good essay. Tyler and I worked good as a team and we --or maybe more "I" came up with a good paper. Kyleigh also had homework but it was Math and I informed her that she was all on her own and that she proably knew more about math at her age of 12 than I did at the age of 33.

Palm Desert Rocks!!!

2009-01-15T20:43:00.000-08:00

The weather has been awesome down here in the desert with high's in the 80's.
If you are cold and are having to scrape windows off in the mornings--too bad, soo sad!!! I could lay out and get a tan. So why am I bragging about this? Maybe to get some visitors???
My parents are coming at the end of February and that will be great to see them. If anyone else wants to warm up--come see me!!

A NEW YEAR

2009-01-07T21:11:00.000-08:00

2009 is here!!! The holidays came and went. I wished I could have spent them with my family but I was with friends and had fun. I got food poisioning X-mas day and will never eat at Jack in the Box again--just the thought of an eggnog shake makes me ill. I was with the Roberts kids New Years and had fun with them.
I am excited for the work "Season" to start. The snowbirds are coming!!! This is where I make most of my money and I am ready for the hard work ahead. I didn't make any new years resoultions--just a thought to make 2009 better than 2008--which I personally thought went by super fast. I'm getting older and can't believe that I turn 34 this year--and Macey will be 12 in the spring. Times flies I guess.
I'm looking forward to the May reuinion in the summer and seeing my family as much as I can. Hopefully I will get to spend time in Utah during the summer and enjoy my super cute niece and nephew. Happy New Year!!!!

DOG LOVER

2008-12-28T08:47:00.000-08:00

I went and saw Marley and Me last night with Kyleigh and her fiend Lilly. I never read the book but being a dog lover I knew I would enjoy the movie. It was cute but boy was that dog naughty. I know I give Jenn's dog Riley a hard time but this dog takes the cake at being BAD. The movie was rated PG and I was surprised at all the bad language and sexual innuendo's that were in the show. I would have listed it under a PG-13 rating. I guess they are just letting alot of stuff slide now.
With life comes death and we all know that dogs don't live as long as we do but It's always sad to see a dog being put to sleep. Not to mention even sadder when you actually see them administer the anesthesia and see the dog die. Talk about a tear jerker. I always think of my first dog Rags and how much I miss him and knowing that Macey is getting older and that will just kill me to loose her. So go see the movie but remember to bring your kleenex because your going to cry like a baby for sure.

MERRRY MERRY

2008-12-28T08:14:00.000-08:00

Christmas came and went. I wasn't with family but I did spend it with friends. I was invited to Christmas Eve dinner with some people in the church ward and then went over to the Roberts for a christmas morning breakfest. That was fun seeing the kids open their presents. I laugh that Santa Clause didn't come to their house but Ed Hardy did. They got every piece in their collection--both kids and parents. If you don't know what Ed Hardy it's a really high end clothing line that's really trendy right now. I later went to the movie and saw the curiousious case of Benjamin Button. It was good---a little long but I love Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchette. If you see it just be prepared to sit for three hours. The day was good untill I made a bad decision and stopped off at a fast food resturant and ended up with a bad case of food posioning. I have never felt so bad. The night was long and the next day wasn't even better. But Saturday morning I felt better and ended up going back to work. I heard there was a 24 hour bug going around so I dont' know if it was that or food posioning for sure but whatever it was it wasn't pretty. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and hope that Santa found everyone.

TEAM BRITNEY

2008-12-09T22:03:00.000-08:00

I love Britney Spears--she is so talented and ya her personal life isn't the best but the girl can sing--not necessarily live but on her albums she does her thing. I would suggest everyone get her new album Circus. I love it and haven't even heard the entire album because I already have favorite songs I can't stop listening to them. GO TEAM BRITNEY!!!!

TIMES ARE GETTING CRAZY

2008-12-09T21:37:00.000-08:00

The ressession is in full swing and the ecomony is super crappy. I am really blessed that my job is secure. The cliental at the country clubs haven't really been hit that hard and are still coming in for their weekly massages. I'm glad I made the switch of jobs finding out that the hotel industry is expecting all time lows for 2009. With all three jobs that I have all three companys have cancelled their christmas parties for this year. Toscana Country Club just announced that everyones jobs will be secure but they will not be contributing any money to the 401K for 2009. I'm glad that gas has come down but you know it's bad when McDonald's $1.00 doubble cheeseburger is no longer $1.00. It's now $1.19.

TWILIGHT AT MIDNIGHT

2008-11-21T12:15:00.000-08:00

Twilight came out Friday and I went to the midnight show. I knew I wouldn't have to arrive early knowing that it isn't as big down here in the Desert and there wouldn't be any lines. But the crowd was great. It was obvious that there were alot of guys in the crowd that hadn't read the book. There was alot of cheering and alot of laughter at the funny expressions by Edward and Jasper. I liked the cast with the exception of "Mike" he was not cute at all and I wonder why he was cast. But it was entertaining and I think that everyone who has read the book needs to go see it. I think that people who have'nt gotten into the series will think it is a little goofy.
Edward is so freaking hot I had to refrain from expressing that out loud. Knowing that the person next to me proably wouldn't appreciate that. I thought Kristen Stewart did Bella perfect. She looked great and as I was swooning over Edward the boys next to me were going gaga for Bella. I will definetly buy the DVD and would be excited to know if they were going to contuinue making more movies in the series.

BUSY CHICK

2008-11-10T21:05:00.000-08:00

I have been a super busy girl. I have been working a ton and the other day actually worked at all three of my jobs in one day. I have been doing training at Toscana in the mornings and then head off to the Westin for massages. I have been trying to study for a test that management is making us take at the Westin. It is a quiz on hotel knowledge and knowing the hotels mantra's and mission statements although they have like 5 different statements they want me to memorize along with other stuff they want me to know. If anyone knows me they know that I hate tests and will do anything to get out of taking them. But I have been told that I have to take this one and get 80%--wish me luck.
Another thing that is going to keep me busy is figuring out my new phone that I got. It's a Palm Centro and it's like a mini computer. There is going to be alot of trial and error to figure this one out. So far I have had to call the Palm hotline to figure out how to get the phone to ring. This is not a good sign!!!!!

TRUE FAN--CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MOVIE

2008-11-10T20:55:00.000-08:00

Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!

VOTE!!!!!

2008-11-02T18:49:00.000-08:00

This upcoming Tuesday is going to be life changing for everyone. I know that I am planning on voting and still don't know what canidate is the better one to choose but I know that my vote counts and that I need to make a decision one way or the other. It reminds me of being back in Jr. High when students ran for student counsel and made promises that they would make lunch breaks longer and that they would serve better food at the cafeteria knowing that there was no way that they could make thoes changes. I think that the race to the white house is the same. Once whoever gets there will realize that they can't make the changes they promised and just try to make the best of a bad situation. I know that I learned this lesson when I became a manager at a spa and realized what my past bosses had gone through. And that it is harder than you think to manage and make big desisions that will work once put into the position. But I do know that we need a change for the nation and I'm glad that the Bush administration is almost over. So get out there and VOTE!!!!

NEW JOB

2008-11-02T17:54:00.000-08:00

I got a new job at Toscana Country Club. I'm really excited about the position. I will be a therapist in a brand new spa in Indian Wells. The property is a few years old and has been waiting for the clubhouse to open. It is beautiful and one of the nicest I have seen. It is smaller but has couple's treatments rooms and outdoor showers and private baths. I will still keep my current jobs but go to on-call status at the Westin Hotel covering shifts when available. I feel honored to have been offered a position at this new spa seeing that they only hired around ten therapists and have never been apart of a new team opening a brand new spa.
I am excited for the upcoming "Season" this year and hope that the economy doesn't hurt my income too much. I feel I made a good decision changing jobs after finding out that the hotel industry is expecting low numbers and huge losses this upcoming year. My manager at the Westin was told that 2009 was going to be worse than 911 for the Hotel industry. So by working at the country clubs I am hopeing that it will be busier--knowing that the clients there aren't hurting like the rest of us.
Living out here in the desert we work alot when the "Season" hits which is when the snowbirds come to town. They start arriving when the golf courses open back up at the first of November and then stay till May enjoying the beautiful weather and top golf courses. So when you are shoveling snow and scraping off windows this winter think of me enjoying weather in the high 80's and driving around with the windows down. Ahhh the life of California!!!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

2008-10-31T11:01:00.000-07:00

I't s Halloween today!! I miss my house in St. George. I used to decorate the house there. But it's just not the same in an apartment. I used to have a little witch hat for Macey but I can't find it this year so I guess we are not really celebrating this year. I broke down and bought a bag of candy for possible trick-or-treaters. But I doubt I will get any knocks at my door and will end up eating it myself.I think I might go to the movie tonight. I really want to see Zack and Miri make a porno--I'm in for a good laugh
I can't wait to see pictures on everyone's blogs of all the kids costumes so remember to post them.

MEAN KITTY

2008-10-26T18:52:00.000-07:00

My Mom came to town to visit me for a couple of days. I was happy to have the company but my kitty Mya wasn't that excited. Mya doesn't like anyone but me. I don't understand why she grew up with this unsocial behavior but since I have lived by myself for most of her life I have just dealt with it. Mya actually came out to see my mom and my mom was friendly to her but Mya hissed at her like crazy and growled a little. She went under the coffee table and tried to attack her as she walked by. Luckily she doesn't have any claws but she packs a mean whack with her paw. During the nights she kept jumping up on my bed wakeing me up upset that my Mom closed the bedroom door and then later that night for no reason. I didn't get that great of sleep with weekend but I enjoyed my Mom's visit. I have said that Mya wouldn't last long in the animal shelter if something happened to me because she is so mean--they would just put her down--unless someone would be up for the challenge. Mom and I did some shopping and I took her to a neat speciality grocery store that has decadent cupcakes and items that you can't find in a regular store. The store is super expensive but it's fun to see all the fun things inside. I had to work on Saturday so Mom went to the Cabazon outlets shopping for the afternoon but we later went to the River in Rancho Mirage and went to the Cheesecake Factory--my favorite. I had a great visit with my Mom ---Thanks for coming Mom--Love Ya!!

DIRECT TV SUCKS

2008-10-20T17:45:00.000-07:00

When I signed up for a bundle package with Verizon and Direct TV I was going to be saving money and would be getting more channels than with my regular cable. Boy has this been a nightmare. Direct TV was late on their scheduled instalation and had to be rescheduled for the following week. And that day they were an hour and half late. They tried to charge me equipment fees and have signed me up for the wrong package so I am getting charged for a bigger package than I signed up for. I have spent tons of time on the phone with the company and my problem never gets resolved and their response it that the package I signed up for they claim doesn't exist--although I always have the contract right in my hand. I have been so frustrated and have threatend to quit the contract but they say that it will cost me over $340 and I don't have that kind of money. I have now told them I am contacting the better business buearu and will be contacting the company with my complaint. With a glimpse of hope I contacted the guy that signed me up for the package that works for Verizon and he is going to have his manager contact me and get it all figured out. Stating that I should have never even been charged from Direct TV and that the bill should come from Verizon. Crazy huh!!! Be wary of bundeling and special packages. Hopefully this doesn't happen to any of you. All this for the love of TV.

EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!!

2008-10-19T12:11:00.000-07:00

Great news is happening here in the Desert. We are getting a Bajio's!!!! It is going to be located in Palm Desert close to El Paseo which is a mini Rodeo Drive. So it will be a great location and hopefully do well in the desert. I know that I will be telling everyone about it and will be the unofficial spokesperson. This is going to make it easier for me to not miss Utah as much. There isn't that great of food out here in California and I'm excited for this resturant to come to town. There are alot of mexican resturants here but they put weird ingredients in their food. I once got peas in my chimichanga and carrots ontop of a smothered burrtito. It's like they have their grandma in the kitchen and she doen't want any food to go to waste and throws what ever is laying around in the food--yuck. I'm just waiting for Cafe Rio and life will be complete.

MACEY LYNNE

2008-10-15T12:45:00.000-07:00

We got a clean bill of health at the Vet today. Macey has been panting alot lately and I looked it up on the internet and was advised to take her into the Vet. She is 11 years old and was diagnosed with a fatty lypoma on her chest two years ago. The mass is medium sized and is affecting her breathing while she lays down but her heart and lungs look great for her age. She does have some extra weight on her that needs to come off so we will hit the pavement in the mornings to both get in some excercise. Her food also need to be reduced and we need to cut back on the "good girl treats." Macey likes to go under the bed but lately it has been more difficult for her to get under the side rails. I found her and took this picture. I'm glad she is healthy. She is the love of my life and I don't know what I will do without her. She is my best friend and finding her was one of the best things that has ever happened to me.--Love Ya Macey!!!

SISTERS

2008-10-13T21:47:00.000-07:00

My big sis Jennifer. We are only 22 months apart and even though we were dressed the same when we were little we have always been really different. We've both done some mean things to each other growing up like her pulling the chair out from me in church so that I would fall on my butt. And me telling her that I asked the paperboy that she had a crush on if he liked her and told her he did--when I never asked him after she had already called her friends about the news-- Sorry about that. We never really got along growing up and even had to clean our shared bedroom at different times so we wouldn't fight. My mom would always say that when we got older we would be closer and she was right. Jennifer has become one of my best friends. I know that we still don't see eye to eye and she hates me giving her advice--maybe because I'm younger sister but I love her. I try to protect her and will do anything for her--even her naughty little dog Riley. When she was in the second grade there were so many Jennifer's that they had to call her JK. So for years I had to put up with people calling her JK. Her name is Jennifer or I'll except Jenn or Jennypoo and I love her--and her little dog too!!!!

BEST BABYSITTER EVER--so I've been told

2008-10-12T13:30:00.000-07:00

So many of you know that on Saturday nights I get the oppertunity to hang out with Tyler and Kyleigh. I'm offically the babysitter but really we just hang out. No need to parent these well behaved kids. We usually go to the movies and to dinner then come home and watch movies. I love hearing about how school is going for them and how Tyler is doing in sports. They also get a kick out of my funny stories of when I was growing up. Tyler is 14 and Kyleigh is 11. I have known them for three years now and have loved every minute of it. It's crazy because their mom is my age and these kids could be mine so it's a trip. But I get the best of both worlds. I get to have kids on Saturday night and then get to go home and be kid free during the week. Tyler is big time into sports and plays on the freshmen football team at his high school. He also plays basketball and went to a special camp during the summer. Kyleigh is into dance and when they have recitals she is in all of the dances. I get most of my fashion updates from Kyleigh because she is in the know about what is hot. Both of these kids are super smart and have excellent grades. So kudos to their parents for raising such smarties!! And we all have a love for dogs--they have three cocker spaniels that I also tend when they go out of town. I love these kids and I get a kick to think that I am helping them grow up to be awesome young adults. Though this past weekend we went to the River an outdoor mall and they both walked ahead of me not wanting to be seen with the "Babysitter." Teenagers I guess???

DREAM CAR

2008-10-03T18:49:00.000-07:00

Living in a wealthy part of California I see alot of nice cars. Now I'm not talking about a Mercedes or two but I'm talking about seeing the $650,000 Mercedes. Not many people can say that they see a Bentley on a daily basis but it seems to be the norm out here. I love cars and have always loved driving. When I turned 16 all I asked for my birthday present was a key to the family's Honda. I have tried to go up the nice car ladder that is in my head. Always striving to get closer to my goal of my dream car. A BMW 745 Li This car is huge--so big that I might have to live in it to afford it. One day I will have one. I make that a promise to myself. So for now as I drive my basic Honda Accord (that is almost paid for) I salavate over all the luxury cars that pass me by with most of the drivers being 65+

SUPER SICK

2008-10-01T15:57:00.000-07:00

It started with a tickle in my throat on Friday night. Then I slept like crap that evening. I had the crud!!! I had to work Saturday because it was so busy so I doped up on meds and made it through the day. But come Sunday I was bed ridden. I have been in bed for three days now. I ventured out yesterday to run to the post office and realized that I shouldn't be driving. This kind of the crud is the worst because it's just a virus and anti-biotics don't kill viruses. I have to endure the sweats, headaches, and cough with over the counter meds and deal with the fact that no one is around to take care of me. I'm pathetic I know. But it would be nice to have someone around to help take Macey outside and to make me homecooked meals. It's also really weird to be so sick with the chills when it's still in the triple didgets outside--yucky!!!

A CLASSIC

2008-09-24T19:05:00.000-07:00

Today I was reminded of one of my favorite movies of all time. I have been wrapped up in the Twilight series and dreaming of "Edward" but today one of my favorite movies was on cable today. Romeo and Juliet with favotie CLaire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio. He is so freaking hot in this movie. He has alot of scenes where he is dripping wet. This may be why he was cast in Titanic?? But what a love story. Great love scenes, great soundtrack, and of course it's Shakespear so you can't go wrong. All that passion with young love. It reminds me of all my crushes growing up. But none of my crushes were as hot as Romeo.

DISSAPOINTMENT

2008-09-23T20:35:00.000-07:00

The Twilight book series has been a passion of mine for the last two weeks. I have read all four books and enjoyed three of them. Book number four Breaking Dawn was a 754 page waste. I hated it! Stephanie Meyer should have ended the series with book three. The only thing that I liked about Breaking Dawn was that Bella and Edward finally had sex. If anyone reads the series don't waste your time reading the fourth book. It was too RoseMary's baby for me and turned into more a sci-fi book than a love story. I am excited for the movie to come out in November. I hope that it follows the book. I still have a crush on Edward. I would love to meet a dreamy guy like that.

I'M ADDICTED

2008-09-14T11:58:00.000-07:00

So, I'm addicted to the Twilight book series. I got Twilight for my birthday and finally started it Wednesday. I couldn't put it down which was easy since I didn't work that day but I finshed it Thursday evening and I ran out to get the next two in the series. I am excited for the movie to come out in November and am wondering where "my Edward is?" It is a great love story and I love it when I can dive into a good book and forget about my lonley nights. I started Eclips last night and hope to finish the last book in the series in a few days. Then I plan on reading Twilight again--- it' that good!!!!Why am I the last to know about these good books?? Maybe I should join a book club or something.

PERFECT WEDDING

2008-09-09T21:02:00.000-07:00

So when the day does come when I meet my Mr. Wonderful and I get to plan a wedding I have only a few requests. I could get married in my parents front yard for all I care but I do want the following for the big day no expence spared. I want a huge cake--like in the $2,000 range. I want it to be the center piece of the event. And I will be having a slice not just a little cut out to taste. I love CAKE!! I also want a huge ROCK of a diamond and I guess that request will come from Mr. Wonderful and I will work on that with prayers that I will meet a guy that can afford a ring that I don't have to pay half for my own diamond. I also want to have a beautiful bouqet and a models body to fit into a wedding dress. I'm not too picky about a dress because I have always hated dresses. The dream of a big wedding would mean alot to me especially knowing that I never went to any of my proms, but I would settle for the big cake and flowers--let's not forget the Hip-Hop music at the reception. Dreams can come true!!!!

Missing Utah???

2008-09-09T20:17:00.000-07:00

So I enjoyed my visit in Utah this summer and I'm missing it because of all of the good resturants that they don't have here in California. I miss Cafe Rio, Bajio's and even the simple Taco TIme. I love Cafe Rio's shredded beef salad and Bajio's chicken and green chile salad with the mango salsa. I miss good old Taco Time's crisp meat burittos and their chedder mexi fries. And last but not least Crown Burger. They have the worlds best onion rings and pineapple shakes. So all of you that are in Utah don't take these resturant conviences for granted. There are thoes out there that have to settle for Del Taco. I do have to appreciate that I have In-N-Out, but it still doesn't make up for the chocolate flan at Cafe Rio--yumm yumm. I'm on Atkins so I am craving food right now. Whoever says that Atkins curves you appettite is wrong.

WORST FEAR

2008-09-09T19:02:00.000-07:00

So anyone who knows me knows that I am always looking for my Mr. Right. I was getting some dinner tonight at Chipotle and in front of me were these HOT police officers. One had a ring on but the other was ring free. They both said hello and I replied a friendly hello and smile but then realized one of my worst fears. I'm pretty open to different guys and keep my options open but one of my fears is marrying a guy that is a cop--I hate cops. They are always giving me tickets and a hard time. I am not a fan of the badge and have never been much for authority. My other fear is that I meet a guy that has a big snake. Snakes freak me out and I think that they shouldn't be kept as pets. I also don't think they are safe around children and small animals. I have terrible nightmares about snakes attacking my pets. I do admitt to watching shows about snakes finding them interesting but I think it is a coping device to try to get over my fear. I was at a pet shop in St.George once and some of the ginnea pigs were fighting and a lady took one out of it's cage and said it was snake food. I replied" you don't have snakes big enough to eat a ginnea pig?" She replied "go see" and I witnessed a huge snake wrap around this poor little ginnea pig as I was telling the little thing to go towards the light. It was tramuatizing for me. So no Cops and no snake lovers please...... But must love Dogs and unfriendly Cats.

BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION

2008-09-05T12:53:00.000-07:00

It is a family tradition since before I was born. The King family is a huge fan of The Young and The Restless. The show is getting so good and they leave the best of the show right at the end. We have been watching it for years and I can keep up on it even if it is just playing in the background. My mom does the same where she can listen to it at her work. Nick is my favorite character and at one point they killed him off and I would have stopped watching it if was true. They have changed major charcters by using different actors but all are pretty true to the part. The lines in the show crack me up and the drama is way better than any other soap as it is more realistic than others--aka Marlana on Days being possesed by the devil. I hope that the tradition will be passed on to my future children and grandchildren---it's that good of a show!!!!

HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

2008-09-05T12:45:00.000-07:00

The men I dream of the women I aspire to be--I'm on team Britney okay

Did I mention that I live in Paradise???

2008-09-05T12:21:00.000-07:00

I live and work in Paradise. Here are picture of where I work. Palm Valley Country Club and the Westin Mission Hills Hotel. Both are beautiful properties with great Spa's. Did I mention that I get golf and Hotel discounts--hint hint!!! I love Visitors. Southern California is beautiful come Fall and Winter when you might be raking leaves and shoveling snow.

HOT NEW FALL SEASON

2008-09-05T11:52:00.000-07:00

I am excited for the new fall season of my favorite shows. I was a dedicated fan of the original 90210 and I am excited for the new generation. I love Gossip Girl and was able to catch up during the re-runs during the summer. And let's not forget my love for the Hills--remember that I met Audrina at the Westin Spa. She is super tiny and just as beautiful as on the show

Poor Macey

2008-08-31T20:55:00.000-07:00

So, Saturday evening I was taking Macey outside to do her business before I had to go off and watch my kids--like every Saturday. There was another dog outside playing with his owner. At my apartment complex you are supposed to have your dog on a leash at all times. "Scotty" a large retreiver wasn't on a leash but he is trained and comes as commanded. His owner was picking up after him and "Scotty" ran over to say Hi. Macey was over to the side piddling and Scotty was circling me looking for some loves. He is a beautiful dog and very friendly. He plays ball with his owner and they use the open grass area for excersice for him. But as soon as Macey came over to say Hi he attacked her. I have Macey on a retractable leash and I was trying to reel her in and seperate them. I couldn't and started sreaming. Scotty was growling and biting Macey like crazy and Macey was attacking back but Scotty was much bigger than Macey and she didn't have a chance. Scotty had her by the neck and had her pinned to the ground. Scotty's owner ran over and seperated the two and a couple of neighboors came out to see what all the screaming was. Poor little Macey was sopping wet because the sprinklers had been on and was shivering like crazy. I sliced my finger when I was trying to pull the leash and I was really shook up. Scottys owner aploigised and said that he gets defensive when he has his ball--thinking that Macey wanted to take his ball from him. I checked out Macey and she didn't have any bite marks on her. I told Scotty's owner that she was alright and that we were just shooken up. My neighbor double checked Macey and everything was good with the exception of my sliced finger. Scotty and his owner took off kinda fast "tails between their legs" but it was alright. I now know that we need to keep the two dogs seperate. Poor Macey--I think this is the only attack she has had with the exception of fighting with Riley. She is a senior citizen--at the rip old age of 11

I'm getting so smart

I'm getting good at figuring things out on this blog--- Seeing that I have all this time on my hands (I haven't been working) Yes I sit at home all day watching TV and figuring out the computer. I added a playlist on the blog and picked out some of my favorites. I like a wide variety of music. One song on my playlist Crush Crush! is dedicated to my Neice Adi. It is her favorite. So work has been super slow since I got back from Utah --or I should say all summer---Thanks crappy economy.
So Macey and I have a regular routine. It goes like this.... I wake up and call into work with a reply that there isn't any so we go out to piddle and then head back to bed. Waking up at 11am to watch Young and the Restless---I don't think that Victor is dead and why Nikki is waiting for him I don't understand. Adam is a jerk and I think that Nick should knock Jack out. I'm also not happy that Kane married Chloe and can't wait for the true paternity test to be revealed.
Macey and I usually take a nap during Days of Our lives--it always puts me to sleep, and then wake up to Judge Judy yelling at a stupid mother who loaned her son-in -law money who claims it was a gift. My days are boring and super dull. I still go and work out with my trainer Dwight twice a week and try to hit the treadmill a couple of night a week but usually don't make it.
I'm still Soda Pop free. It is quite an acompishment seeing that I was drinking a ton of Diet Coke a few months ago. I think my kidneys are thanking me. I remember as a kid we used to have our own "Maverick Mugs" and walk up to the Maverick store a few blocks away and for .26 we would fill our mugs with out favorite soda that would last all day.
Macey and I usually hit the hay about 10pm and watch Sex and the City and then follow up with some Will and Grace. Boring days and lonley nights--some day it will change--untill then I have my new computer and my best friend my TV.

I love Utah but I don't want to live there anymore

I had a good vacation in Utah. It was good to see family and celebrate my 33rd Birthday. Another year older but a another year realizing that I have a pretty good life. It was fun spending time with Adi and Kohen. Adi is super smart and knows what she wants. Mom and I watched them one night and we took them to the park. We drove their van and even with Adi trying to help me I couldn't figure out how to work the DVD player--sorry Adi. Kohen is getting big and is more friendly. I also got to visit with Grandma King. We celebrated a birthday party together. It was her 94th. It was good seeling extended family. I got a new laptop for my birthday and have to send out special thanks to Juline for helping me figure it out and helping set up my blog for me. Now I just need to start taking pictures with my camera that I am not the familiar with and start blogging. I do miss Utah but I am now realizing that I am a California girl now and I love my accomplishments that I have made down here. Especially being down here by myself without family. Here are some pictures of the party we had in the park for Grandma King.
