BBQ at the neighbors

We sat and watched our neighbors home, burn to the ground on Saturday night. I feel bad for the family loosing all their belongings (pc's, games, mementos of trips, photos, etc). I am (however) gald that the fire department went in and saved the dog (pit bull) who is the so damn friendly and loves to lick. 100k totals the damages. Looks like the home won't be available for rent for a while (they were in the process of moving out).

Where has time gone?

I'm such a shit for not blogging here lately. One of my buddies mentioned that he hasn't seen me post a new blog so here I go.

a-hem

cough

Since my last blog, much has been happening. From screw-ups in scheduling appointments and then, loosing another Office supervisor who, was here only as a temp (thank god she left). New supervisor has come in and things should start running smoothly now and I'll get to step down and not be the right hand person any longer. I still keep my eye open in hopes, that a position becomes available (more pay) but, now we're told of budget cuts again (nothing new with KCCD and the way they micromanage it).
Spent thanksgiving with 'D' side of the family and had planned on going over and spend xmas with Mom. However, thanks to Adam, I managed to catch his bug and it's settled in my chest. So needless to say, I spent xmas eve and xmas day sleeping off and on. Here it is Friday! Hadn't noticed it til this morning when I logged onto the computer to read the newspaper that, time has flown by fast.

What are YOU doing for New Years Eve? I had hoped to spend it with my family here at home but, in steps his friend and invites him and the boys over to her place and is it extended to me? NO. Here I was looking forward to putting the boys to bed at 12:15am on New Years Day and having a bit of adult fun with 'D'. What ever. Things will change in the new-year. Believe me. Things WILL change.

Happy Thanksgiving/Native American Massacre Day everyone.

Thanksgiving is here. I'm thankful that I have a job, roof over my head and food in the fridge. Thankful that I have Damon in my life and 2 wonderful step-son's that I adore. Thankful for Bob and the fish. Thankful that I've managed to bite my tounge and not go and kick the shit out of a family member(s) ass. I got up at 530am this morning. Had my shower, cup of coffee and managed to kill some noob out in wild before going into the kitchen and put the corn bread on to cook. I decided against making an Italian dish for dinner today and, instead bought a 13 lbs turkey. Cranberries are currently setting out on the counter to cook (which I'll have Carter do).
Much has been going on since I last blogged. Most of it work related so, I won't bore you with the details. All I know is that I come home, cook dinner and vegge out on the couch til 8pm and haul my ass off to bed. Been having allot of stomach problems lately (thanks to work).

Have a wonderful day.

Fall is coming!

Fall is coming and with that, brings out the native in everyone. My friend Rainer in Canada sent me some photos of his lastest outing with his kids that, I had to post it. To be young and not have to worry abt anything and to learn abt the history of our forefathers, bring a smile to my face. Time travel... to have the ability to do so, would be wonderful.

Imagine digging into a piece of wood and finding something yummy to eat. Now we know where the folks at HotLixs get all their bugs from. >:o)

much to do abt nothing....

I'd say that not much has been going on here in the last month but, that would be a fat lie. A lot has been going on. Both in my personal life and with work. I'll leave both topics out of this blog and carry on with other items instead.

Amazon (that's my best friend) has this kat who, I believe in her past life was a ninja warrior that went around killing other cats with her drool. Go ahead... click on the image for an upclose look at the killer drool. It's crazy.

Woman's best friend when she reaches 40.

I admit it.

I'm going through Menopause.

There.

I said it.

Complete with hot-flashes, then cold. Can't get cool so the window is open with the fan in it, blowing in the cool 50 degrees air of downtown Bakersfield @ 3am.
No period in 4 months (thank you god).


I love menopause....

Don't you?

Changes are coming

So many things are going in my life atm that it's crazy! Changes maybe coming soon so I'm prepping myself for that since, I've been seeing it coming for the last few months.
Work is insane. 16,000 students now enrolled with the college district. Shit!
21st class reunion coming soon. I really can't wait to see my old classmates again. Seems that I've put a distance to everyone and everything in the last yr, which is BAD!
Love to all.
