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.

the big 4-0

Lordy, lordy, look who's 40!?!?
I didn't think that I would make it to the 40 mark in my life. Honestly I didn't. Not with all the health issues that run; or better yet, wobble in my family (heart disease, diabetes, etc). I am truly amazed that I made it. I feel like shouting from the top of our roof in downtown Bakersfield; HEY YOU FUCKERS!!! I MADE IT!!!!. But, I doubt that I would have the guts to do that. Never mind, I'd most likely will get my ass tossed in jail for speaking my mind.

I had a nice day. Took the my step-sons CB and DJ out to Los Tacos where, we scarfed down burritos. Amazon (that's my best friend), Ray came over to take Damon to pick me up my birthday cake from Costco. Never mind the pamphlet that he had inserted in with the flowers for a casket (hardy-har-har). Then came the drinks! Some kind of fruity drink with peaches and strawberry in it with Gin. Eh; his face (Damon) got numb after consuming 3 glasses (I won't mention that I dumped a quarter of Gin in his drink when I got refills). **NOTE; KIDS HAD NON GIN DRINKS**

After hearing all the horror stories from others here that I work with up at BC, I decided to forgo my tattoo and get....



Eh. I don't think so!!! I've tried piercing my nipple once I couldn't bare the thought of going through that again. Shesh!

I'll stick with the fake tattoos for the time being. :o)

Going to a concert!!!

For those of you out there (family and friends) who think they know me really well; let's just see HOW well you know me...

What is my ALL time FAVORITE music group?




*silence*


give up?



ABBA! And who is coming to Bakersfield?

Adbacadabra!!!!!

I've waited for YEARS to see them perform live and now, it's my chance go see em at the Kern County Fair. And it gets better cause.... the concert is FREE!!!!
I'll be getting out my platform shoes and satin jumpsuit out for the event. I can't wait to be a Dancing Queen for the nite.

Old students

One of my former photo students sent me an email, telling me of her stay down in Panama. I'm envyous to the extreme that she's staying the whole month down there. BIG congrats to her btw; on getting her BFA in Photography from San Jose State. DezdiMona-Fine Art Photography

turning japanesse, I really think so

Soooo in love with the Asian culture that my step-sons and I are trying to learn Chinese. Holy shit. Talk abt one hard language to learn. Best way to describe it is, that you talk with the tip of your tongue touching the back of your bottom teeth when you try to pronounce a word. So while DJ and I learn the language, CB is going to try his hand at making dishes from Japan, China, Vietnam and Korea. This should be an interesting experience all around.

Hams and farting

My old buddy Terry, who is an electroic nerd, recently went to Anacapa Channel Island where, they sat up camp (along with many car batteries) for several days of chatting with others via ham radio. Click on the photo and it "should" take you to his homepage to read all abt last yr's experience. Hopefully, he'll be posting his recent photos from this years trip.
Not much has been going on here the last few days since I last blogged. Still on vacation and have scheduled an appointment for my "annual" exam with the doctor. Complete with getting the tits smashed and a pelvic exam. I hate pelvic exams. My first one as at the age of 15 and I ended up farting. Talk about embarassment. lol. The doctor is still practicing and, I can't bring myself to go back to him. Gawd. lmao.
Got some rather disturbing news and I'm not sure if it's true or not. I hope it isn't. I can't see someone kicking their own child who is 15 yrs old, out of their home. I've been saying prayers for the family in hopes that they'll get some counseling or something. Seems that I recall the same thing happening to his father when he was that age...
Amazon is taking Ray's nephew back to Las Vegas tomorrow to catch his flight. Guess I'll ride along just to get out of town for the day. I'll post from Vegas tomorrow.

figs anyone?

I've NEVER liked figs... until now. I mean; I can't bring myself to eat them fresh from the tree but, I can however, eat them if they have been cooked somehow. Like into a cookie! My step-son has been doing the cooking lately which, has been very nice and with it, he's been learning what a great responsibility it is to cook the evening meals. I'm proud of him.
