Api

Since it's getting colder I'm starting to really miss purple Api. [Bolivian hot (as in temperature) purple corn drink] Geez! Even if I had it right now I wouldn't even know how to make it. It definitely takes some getting use to but once you love it you, LOVE IT! dios mio.

New Moon Turkey a la Werewolf.

Agenda for today: Thanksgiving feast for Tony and I. (with all the fixings mashed potatoes, turkey, chocolate fudge pie) NEW MOON date with Karen!!! Yes! Possible shopping date with Everett, Tony and Karen.

Full day of fun, fun, fun. Obviously I can't sleep b/c it's six o'clock in da morning! My brain is speaking in Spanish and doing math problems. Oh I also have to make time to go to the dog park with Meko Forgey today. I love my life right now and I'm so excited to hang with Karen!

Mornings.

I haven't been able to sleep for the past two days. Falling asleep is really easy for me but staying asleep is another story. I am definitely a morning person and can't help it. For this girl no sleep after nine a.m. Mimosa was quietly sleeping in the living room this morning, her disposition was completely opposite this morning than it was last night. We rarely get to go outside with her so I thought it important to hang out with her on the porch. Its cold this morning but sunny and I like that. The rain has been a complete and utter disappointment these days. Tony and I went to the pumpkin patch last week and carved the pumpkins on Monday. Halloween is around the corner but so is Christmas. So many gifts to buy but so little money. Oh well.

sunday.

It's hard not to blog about how wonderful my boyfriend is, he's just so kind and patient. I make it hard for him to love me, but he makes it so easy for me to love him.

Life Style Changes

Recently I become somewhat restless, and irritated with myself. This is my own fault of course.
So with that realization I've decided to make a list of goals to live my life by. These goals are not difficult or challenging, but nevertheless have been increasingly difficult for me to keep up with.
Goals:
1. Visit my friends more. (i.e. Walt, Karen, Everett, Jennifer, Nadia, Maria...)
2. Eat more at home. (NO MORE EATING OUT DURING THE WEEK, AT LEAST!)
3. Exercise more. (I walk quite a bit, I've started running now... it's totally lame!)
4. Read more. (I got nothing)
5. Start playing music again. (lessons or something??)
6. Save MORE money.
7. Call family more. (Dad, Mom, Venessa, Trey, Roman, Jeremy)

We'll see if these become habits?? Who knows?

Towelhead

For sometime now, I've somehow forgotten how to read novels. And after complaining about this for a while, I decided to buy a new book. (which lets face it, I have plenty of books to read at home) Anyhow I spent a whole twelve dollars at Barnes and Noble on a book named Towelhead by Alicia Erian. I was not expecting to delve right into this book immediately, but Sundays are always to boring to do anything more than sleep, eat, fuck or read. (pardon my french) Since I hadn't any interest in doing any of the above, (I wasn't feeling well) I relaxed on my bed and began reading. I wasn't surprised that this book was too good to put down. I knew that it would be based on the first line of the book, which starts off with "My mother's boyfriend got a crush on me, so she sent me to live with Daddy." I wouldn't want to give too much away but, the book is about an overdeveloped thirteen-year old girl sent to live with her Arab father in Texas during Saddam Hussein's invasion into Kuwait. Read it, or see the movie which apparently came out in September of 2008.

Somewhere in Time.

Up late. Just thinking about the possibility of time travel. Doesn't help that I just finished watching a totally lame movie about a man you travels back in time just to meet the woman he's suppose to fall in love with. In case you haven't guessed it yet, the movie is Somewhere in Time. I'm really confused about the whole thing. Mostly, not the concept of time travel but the possibility that there is someone in the world not perfect, but perfect for you. This person could be in any time and any place. Would you know if you met this person? Would it seem familiar all at once? What if you met them years ago? Is this just a person you brushed up against in the grocery store? Anyone. What about everyone before and after them? What if you met them while you were with someone you really loved? Not a soul mate but something like that. I'm I babbling? Thinking too much? Are there way too many questions that I can't answer? I'm sure I'd know, I'm sure that I would have known it the moment I saw him, I would have simply said "Oh my gosh there he is." This is way too much for me to handle right now... I guess that's what I get for eating chocolate before going to bed. Dang.

Jenny... What is it that you do, exactly?

I'm not really sure that I like the question "What do you do?" What does that mean exactly? Of course, I understand that whenever someone asks you that, you can assume they mean "What is your occupation?" But where I work (at least) says really nothing about me. I've decided to start telling people that "I do exactly what I want to do."

Stress is stupid.

Recently I've learned not to compromise my mental state. Work is not suppose to be stressful for a receptionist/interpreter/medical assistant/counselor...
Ok. So, maybe because I'm not secure enough to say what I actually do in the work place, maybe I can be a little stressed about the security of my job or jobs. Alas, I can breathe a little easier with the recent news I received yesterday. I will get to keep my job, but only under the understanding that I will be very badly treated. (just kidding) But seriously, the probability of me working harder than is usual is a grand possibility. That is sort of unimaginable, considering the fact that I consider myself already to be a hard worker. In fact, those of us who are left, just so happen to posses more than three job tittles. I am grateful to be working even if it is for such little pay. Needless to say, my rant is really so inarticulately trying to say that I shouldn't be stressed out, mainly because I have nothing to be stressed out about! Well, at least not anymore.

The bear is hot.

Master Sensei.


It's ok, you can say he's awesome.

Snowboarding.




Because I haven't written in quite sometime I thought I'd update everyone (those few that read this blog) about my most recent adventures. Tony and I actually took a mini vacation to Hot Springs, VA and stayed The Homestead. We went snowboarding! My first time ever! I probably would have sucked much more if Tony hadn't been there and hadn't been such a good teacher. Don't get me wrong, I fell plenty of times, but at least I had someone to spot me. Despite the hotel being a little pricey the accommodations were fabulous!. I loved the experience.
