10 Grand

My friend text me yesterday and tells me they played the birthday game on KIIS FM!! She told me that they called the month and my day!! I was like, "Why didn't you call me?" She informed me that she caught it at the end, but said that I could have won 10 grand had I called in. I immediately felt nauseous after hearing this news. Imagine if I had 10 grand. I would be out of debt and free!! HAHA!!

It's Coming....

Cinco De Blair is approaching us people!!
Come out to party!!
I'll be 26 and I don't know what that means but that I have had a pretty good 26 years of my life thus far!!!
I might be lost in what my future holds for me but at least I know exactly who I am.

Self CheckOut

So, what I am about to talk about annoys the crap out of me. Self Checkout lines at grocery stores are suppose to be quick and easy. You don't bring up 20 items to the self checkout lines. In fact, I believe there is a sign that states 10 items or less. And why on earth would you want to bring up 20 items to self checkout? And alsok don't you think if you plan on using the self checkout stand that you should actually have some idea how to use it? I mean, isn't that the most logical thing? I stand there and watch one person after another just continue to look lost and confused with the what could be one of the most easiest and convenient ineventions. It drives me crazy!!!

Overnight Sensation

My good friend Reggie and I get to work an overnighter tonight at work. We are implementing some new S.O.S. program to basically make the offices throughout the building look flawless and spectacular. I have no idea how this will improve our sales within the company, but corporate would like to think so. I actually don't mind working an overnighter because it means i don't have to deal with any customers. Plus, I was able to sleep in today and I have tomorrow off. It is sometimes nice to have a split in the week. GOODTIMES!!

What's Next

So, this week I have been thinking a lot about my future. I mean, I guess we all tend to do that, but for whatever this week I have especially been contemplating it. I guess I feel as if there is nothing really keeping me anywhere anymore. And what I mean is that I don't feel like I am stuck in just one place. And I feel that is a very good thing. Before I moved out to LALA Land I felt completely trapped in Colorado. And then I made that move and it opened up a whole new set of doors for me. I see myself as a restless person at times. Like most, I am constantly looking for the next best thing or the thing that might lead to more of a consistency in my happiness. I want to live other places and I want to meet other people. At the same time, I want to settle down eventually. And not just settle down with a family or what have you but just settle down in a certain place. I love Los Angeles and can't believe it is almost two years of me being out here. But I also wonder what else is out there? The hardest thing was to leave Colorado and I actually accomplished that. Now, I feel as if I could move anywhere these days. For now though, I am content and I get such joy out of this place. But I don't want to get too comfortable and possibly miss out on other opportunities!!

Made Me Laugh

I am sure everyone is aware of all these issues with immigration and all that crazy stuff. So, I am driving down the 101 today and there's these two people who have this banner on one of the bridges that go over the freeway. The banner says, "DEPORT ALIENS." As I am driving under the bridge and see this banner I notice the truck in front of me and 3 hands get stuck out the window and precede to flip off the two guys holding the banner. I couldn't help but smile at such a serious issue!!

I was only gone a little over a week...

It's funny how much your life can get out of whack when you have been gone for a week. I feel like I have so much to do today and I was only gone for like a week. I have bills to pay. I have to clean up my room and bathroom. I have to rethink my financial situation since I spent way too much in Colorado...haha!!! I pretty much went into vacation mode a week before I actually went to Colorado. I ate every little thing I had left and refused to go to the grocery store because I was leaving. At work, I pretty much did what I had to get by and that was that. The day before I left for Colorado I did zilch at work, literally. Tomorrow is a Monday and my first day back at work. I am not looking forward to it because I don't want to see what was messed up while I was gone. Oh well, I suppose it shall make my day go faster. The real task in the next couple months is to find a new job. And by new job, I mean just get out of retail!!!

Back In The Saddle Again

I head back to Los Angeles tomorrow afternoon. I have to say that as sad as I am I am somewhat anxious to get back to "my life." Because, while everyone is at work all day I am sitting here thinking about what my life use to be like and how much I miss the people that are still here.
I can't tell you how unbelievably great it was to see everyone and there were acouple people I was not able to see and for this I am truly sorry. There just wasn't enough time. Just like the "Save By The Bell" episode when Jesse screams that there is never enough time...haha!! The first weekend I was here was rowdy and I loved every minute of it and didn't want it to end. It truly reminded me of the good old days.
Coming back to Colorado reminded me of why I left in the first place. But it also reminded me of why I was so sad to leave. When I think about me being in Los Angeles and the people that are still here I can't help but get a smile on my face. Because I have become closer with most of you because I did indeed move away. Some people I don't even talk on the phone with and only text message, IM, and email. I am truly blessed that I could build such long lasting friendships through these different means of communications.
And then there are those of you who have known me for like 8 years and we have been through some times together and we have cried and we have laughed and we have fought. But we always made it through and here we are today, loving each other probably more than we did when we were in college together.
This time visiting Colorado was different just because I know that I truly belong in Los Angeles right now. And I think everyone around me knows that as well. And that is a good feeling. I am almost at my 2 year mark with living in Los Angeles. I honestly cannot believe I made it and thinking about coming back to Colorado is not thought of as a failure to me so much anymore. Although, I will not be moving back to Colorado anytime soon unless something astounding happens, at least I know I didn't let myself down and I have given everything in Los Angeles a chance. I am one of the lucky ones in that I actually love it out there and love waking up everyday.
It makes me sad to think that I don't have all of you physically near me. That I can't hug and cuddle with you and all that. And that I can't just go get a drink with you. But at the same time, I just think about how close we are still and how we can only get closer and that brings me great comfort.
Colorado has been good to me!! It will always be good to me!! Los Angeles is my home right now, but all of you are my home as well. Come visit me soon PLEASE!!!...hahah!! Even if it is just for a weekend that is all we need!! My bro, dad, and Ann always come out and have a blast..haha. I think you guys could too! Right Mel C.?..hehe!!

Take care everyone and I sincerely hope it's not another year before I see all of you!! But if it is, a year sure does fly by so I can deal!!!

I LOVE YOU!!!
