Why do some people stop at a light and leave 2 car lengths between them and the car in front?
How is it that you can walk away from a public toilet and not notice that the toilet seat cover is still on there?
Is it necessary to make that crinkling sound when drinking out of a water bottle?
How is it possible to use the words "yummy" and "delicious" when eating a meal out of a microwaved cardboard box?
Why do women fan their faces with their hand to keep from crying? It doesn't work...either you cry or you don't!
Those are just a few questions that I have pondered this week. Tomorrow is my last work day of the week because Friday is a Holiday! Gracias, Cesar Chavez. I beat someone at Scrabble tonight whom I rarely beat! Totally made my day. I got a nosebleed tonight. I have had more nosebleeds in one year than I have had my entire life. I am wondering if my brain is disintegrating and bleeding out? That would explain a WHOLE lot! Tracey, a friend, posted a link to an old Eric Carmen song on Facebook today. "All By Myself". I love, love, love that song. She mentioned how it brings back memories. Couldn't possibly be true because I own all the memories associated with that song! There I go...dating myself again. Dating as in age not dating as in I take myself out on dates. It's just weird when coincidences happen...
It's 10:30 and my dog and I are headed to bed...nite! ♥

Catching Up
Just want to catch up my followers on what's been going on in my life. Work has been...well...difficult. It's been so busy and I rarely leave when I'm supposed to. I could easily work until 8 or 9 at night. Definitely a night person. A morning person I am not. I don't even want people to look at me in the morning. That was a Diva statement wasn't it? Why yes it was! Seriously, I have never enjoyed getting out of bed. I am thankful for hot showers, soap, and black coffee.
Getting ready to move from San Marcos to Escondido. Not for 58 days give or take but getting ready nonetheless. I have already started packing. I am very excited! We drove by the new place the other night (it was real late). Was actually in the area so thought it would be fun. Here's what I saw...cute bunny rabbits hopping around in the yard AND a real big coyote standing in the middle of the street. Just standing there like he owns the neighborhood. Which I'm sure he does. Felt real sorry for those cute bunnies... I just know that I have to be extra careful with my Roxie and my Zoe. I promised my girls forever homes and that is what they deserve. Being eaten by Mr. Coyote was not in the contract.
I was at my group tonight @ Kaiser. Bottom line is that I thank God every night when I leave there that I am certainly not as "troubled" as others. I can't discuss the group because of confidentiality. It's probably best because no one would believe me anyway if I shared about my fellow group members. It's not funny but yet it's as funny as heck!
Not much else going on. I still have not updated the food blog. Soon I tell you...soon! Dinner with Jeanette tomorrow night. That will be my social activity for the week (that's M-TH).
Off to bed...I don't have flannel sheets on the bed but I do have a flannel pillowcase. I absolutely adore it! ♥

Dumbo
This has been a hellish week and it's only Tuesday. I wish I were back on the ship in the middle of the ocean...
I won't waste my time talking about work. Work is work - we all do it. Well, most of us. Sometimes I wish I were the operator of the Dumbo ride at Disneyland. I come in contact with so many Dumbos every day that I may as well work there and get to look at some cute Dumbos!
Probably everyone knows by now that we are moving. Everyone except for my landlords. Guess I had better take care of that... The new kitchen is lacking in some upper cabinets. There are a couple but not enough for my needs. So I have been in search of something like a baker's rack. I have such cute and colorful dishes (Fiestaware) that I think they would look fine stored outside of a cupboard. So I googled racks and got girls gone wild boob edition. No! I am kidding! I found a bunch of sites and found a bunch of racks, none of which I liked and all over-priced. Tonight I had a revelation. One of the coolest places to shop...Target! And sure enough, I found online exactly what I want. I was so happy about that! I hope it's still there when I go to order it.
I can't get onto Words With Friends tonight. I am kind of bummed because I have had some extra time to sit down and play. Oh well. I did play Scrabble and am beating the one person I NEVER beat. I shouldn't talk about it though. The game is not over. And he always wins. And I don't think he cheats. So many people that I play WWF with cheat. Really irritates me. And then they lie about it. Not cool.
Remember I was boasting about the gel polish on my nails? I take it all back. It really screwed up my nails. Not a happy camper. But they did look nice when it was on but that's all I've got to say about that.
Posting on the Food Blog starting tomorrow! I've got a yummy chicken marinade to use before grilling! Speaking of food, Roxie and I shared some pasta tonight. She is the coolest dog. She loves pasta. Her favorite being spaghetti with meat sauce. She has got the art of spaghetti eating down to a science. Tonight we had Barilla Cellantani. Not her favorite but she joined in.
Signing off...♥

Sunday 3/11/12
My weekend went by real fast. I sure was busy for someone who had no plans. On Friday after work I met Rhonda here at the house and we went and picked up my parents. We all went to the house that we will be moving to in May. I call it the "Lakehouse". No, it is not on a lake. However, there is a teeny tiny view of Lake Hodges from the balcony and a little bigger tiny view from one of the windows in the loft. Thus, the Lakehouse! Every time I go there it is so quiet and peaceful. I am going to love living there. After that we made homemade pizzas. So yummy. I should actually talk about them on the food blog instead of this blog but oh well. The food blog is on a vacation right now. Anyway, we made a bbq chicken pizza. I used leftover rotisserie chicken from Costco. Chicken, caramelized onions, mozzarella cheese, and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. Rhonda picked the BBQ sauce and it was delicious. The other pizza was yellow and orange bell peppers, caramelized onions, mozz cheese, and goat cheese. Both were yummy! Rhonda spent the night - we had a great time just chatting and hanging out.
Yesterday I was at my friend Jeanette's house to feed her cats - Cooper and Oliver. She's a real good cook so it's often worth it to look in her refrigerator. I scored this time! She had stuffed cabbage rolls. I am not sure if I have ever had one before. Took some home and had them for dinner last night. They were delicious. She was out of town but I did text her and confess to the thievery. She said I should have taken ALL of them. Darn!
Today was a lazy day. But did some cleaning and laundry. Roxie and I went to Lowe's and bought some boxes for packing. I was also going to buy bubble wrap but I couldn't afford it! Crazy expensive. So that was my excuse to not do any packing at all. I did sleep in real late this morning and went back to bed twice. Loved that. A very good day!
My friend Jan is up in San Francisco. Her daughter, Stephanie, just had a baby girl so Jan finally has a granddaughter! Her name is Marlowe.
Monday night I start a new group at Kaiser. A self help type of thing. It's for 12 weeks. I hope I like it. I will be the new person starting in an already established group. We'll see how that goes. Other than that, no plans this week. No excuses to keep from packing. Oh wait...I don't have bubble wrap. Oh well - maybe next week. ♥
