Cake and Cocktails never tasted so good

i saw a tumbleweed cross my path while driving . All i needed was some twangy-country song to pop onto the radio. Not about to lose the moment to lack of music, I rolled my window down and the Dodge Ram raised truck driving next to me blasted some heartfelt-drink-my-sorrow-away-baked-apple pie country ballad.

East County does not dissappoint.

      -  I got the letter of recommendation that I asked for!

- I got a new bed in time for my mom’s visit.

-   And if I don’t change too many plans around, I’ll be in Scotland in
November.

- I’m also applying for  a new job,  one that can change plans around.

My mom and brother

But I also miss the bay area.

SO I might head up for a weekend either March 29th or sometime later in April when i can get more time off and am able to spend more time reuniting with old friends.

Just checked my email before heading to bed. My cousin sent the cutest pictures of my cousin (her son) Christian Alexander eating pasta.

I’m going to go to bed real soon since i’m so freaking tired but first i want to get this grumpy day off my chest.

I just made my first ever bowl of Mac N’ Cheese a la Kraft box. That’s right lady and gents-at the ripe ol’ age of 22 years, I have finally succumbed to the little blue box-not Tiffany’s, but KRAFT. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not some amazingly immature 22 year old that can’t fend for herself. I work full time doing what I like a lot (I’m only 22- my dream job is yet to be here), I graduated college at 21 and published by the age of 22, live by myself , fell in love, and pay ALL my bills (I just took over from my mom the cell phone bill),even own a cat whose fat stomach is evidence of me providing for her.

So yes, I am now enjoying my first stomach-ache from Mac N’Cheese. It seems mass quantities should be avoided at all cost (I never said I was wise). And yes, if you look closely enough in the above paragraph, I did admit to something I never would have in the past. Guess he’s worth it.

I need pepto and a new cell phone carrier.

I’ve been feeling really *ugh*  the past 3 days or so, I finally figured it out. I am itching to get out of san diego for a few days.  Work is just a high and a low all at the same time. High because the families are always presenting challenges and creating new outlooks I may have in life. Low because I feel I am stuck in a rut and meeting the challengs in probably the same manner and let us face it…these families are depressing.

I’m booked friday and saturday so I’m thinking 3/30 I gotta leave for at least a mini weekend vacation..along with the rest of the nation. I hate having to actually plan my weekend get aways.

while taking a break from work I came across this article.

I was perfectly content that the most work my head was doing dealt with laundry lists and notes I need to transcribe so this made me think a little too early in the morning, but over all interesting.

*I just overheard the best line “mom, i doubt when you go to heaven God will say ,’come on down”!

lot’s of people know about my nickname the gimp..I have once again proven it right. I have most likely sprained my left knee. This is an improvement as I am no longer spraining my right leg (right ankle 3x, right knee 1x, and the infamous sprain of the right toes).  I am giving myself one day off from running and only doing pilates tonight. Tomorrow will be swimming-slowly.
