Party time!! I did not get a full nights sleep like I would have liked but Amy's parents house is so great and the bed that we slept in was amazing and I was ready to take on the day. The engagement party was so fun and I am so happy that I was able to meet some of Amy and Anthony's friends. Both of their families are great and made us feel so welcome! All I can say is that I had a blast and I wish them the best of luck in the marriage and future!

Oh where do I begin...Carla and I headed to Budget Rental this morning to pick up our rental car, and of course there was a line and we had to wait forever. This should have been a sign telling us how the rest of the day was going to go. Once we got the car we headed down to LA and dropped Carla off at class. While she was in class I met up with my friend Oscar and had coffee and something to eat at Starbucks. It was so good to see him and I was so happy that he had time to hang out. I went back to FIDM to pick up Carla and had to wait around for about an hour so I explored the campus. However first thing I did there was trip and fall on the ground...that was nice (ended up with a big bruise). Anyhow the campus has an amazing Museum and they have costumes from the Alice in Wonderland movie!! After she got out of class we dropped off the rental car and went to LAX. To make a long story short our plane ended up being delayed for over 4 hours and Carla and I ended up getting drunk at the bar. By the time we finally landed in SFO it was midnight...original arrival time in SFO was 7:15pm. Carla and I were exhausted and just wanted to be in Windsor which was about an hour and fifteen minutes north of SF. Our driver got us lost in the city and it took over 2 hours to get to Amy's parents house. We finally arrived in Windsor at 2am and got to bed at 3am. What a night. Moral of the story....don't fly Delta because they will turn your hour flight into a total of 7 hours at the airport.

Oh my goodness...work was insane today!! It was my last day for the week since I am taking Friday off and there is just so much to do. My to do list got twice as big and I don't know how any of it is going to get done in the next couple of weeks. Everything today was madness and I am so glad I have tomorrow off...however Monday is going to be insane. I stayed home since I wanted to get some rest before our big day tomorrow so Carla and I hung out and watched the new season of Project Runway (I miss the good old days of watching PR and eating Ben & Jerry's!). I had also asked MIchael if he would spend the night since I wouldn't be seeing him for the next few days.

I feel like I am getting into a routine and it is not an exciting one. I worked again today...big surprise and then I went to the gym. After I got home I had some dinner and then I needed to pack. Amy and Anthony are heading up north tomorrow and they are going to take mine and Carla's luggage so we don't have to check it on the plane Friday afternoon...should make our time at the airport a little easier. After parking I decided to make a list of all my job duties...I do a lot more than I thought. Time to share this list with someone...

I did not go to the gym yesterday and I was pretty bummed about not going so I was sure to go today and I achieved 4 miles on the treadmill again today. Woohoo! I just need to keep up this pace and then I will finally see some results. I went over to Michael's house after the gym to hang out. We ended up watching Gene Simmons Family Jewels (I actually LOVE that show!) and I got super hungry and had him order me a pizza at 10pm...there goes all my work that I did at the gym today.

Oh another Monday...how I loth you. I am in full swing and back in the grind of a 9-5 job. Work is busy as usual and there is even more work since we are changing the names of one of our hotels. I feel like I am never going to get caught up at work...there is always going to be something to do. I know there is always going to be little things but it is a hard reality to know that there will never be a point at work where everything is done.
After work Michael finally took little Sammy back home so I am officially catless now. I do miss the little one but then again I am glad to get a good night sleep. I don't know how Michael handles here craziness! I spent a quite night at home which was nice after a crazy day at work and ended up watching housewives with the roomies. That show just cracks me up sometimes...it is kinda crazy but Teresa is my favorite!

I was able to sleep in a little more which was really nice considering that I never sleep in. I did not do much this morning...it was an odd day as everyone was busy. I cleaned up around my house and my room and lounged around for much of the morning. In the afternoon I hit the gym once again to get another workout in. Michael came home while I was at the gym and I was so happy to hear that! I have missed him so much and I couldn't wait to see him. He ended up coming over not long after I got home and we made dinner together. Before dinner I started to get a headache and it progressively got worse into the night. I asked Michael if he would stay over and take care of me...so he did. I am going to sleep now as I can't focus from my headache...

I had an interesting night...did not sleep too well and ended up waking up around 9:30am. The roomies went out drinking last night and I stayed home, so I was the one to drive everyone to their cars in the morning. Before we picked up the cars we went to D'Angelo Bread & Bakery for breakfast and had the most amazing meal!! Everything from the hot chocolate, the scramble and the croissant were amazing! After breakfast we all parted ways and I had a bunch of errands to run, however everywhere I went something went wrong. It was really frustrating and by the time I got home I was pretty mad with the world - I blame it on the full moon. Anyhow I was really missing Michael today but I am so lucky to have good friends and talked to Teri and Bekki for a while and they both lifted my spirits. I have been trying to work out as much as I can so I hit the gym once again today...I love it there on the weekends because it is so quite!

You have no idea how happy I am that today is Friday!! Work went by really slow and I was able to get some stuff done. I still don't feel comfortable with my work load but oh well. After work I headed home to get some stuff done. I have been needing to do laundry for over a week so I FINALLY got it done. I know its not an exciting way to spend a Friday night but oh well it needed to be done. I also wanted to stay home and play with the kitty...I have been leaving her along a lot because of work and after work events and I know she needs some extra attention. Anyhow I used tonight as a way to get caught up on life. I haven't seen Michael in two days and I miss him already...I wish he was back from his camping trip.

Well I got no sleep last night and I ended up living off coffee all day. I don't want to talk about work any more...it stresses me out. After work the coworkers and I went to happy hour at the Las Aves Cafe and had a few drinks. We ended up having a great time and catching up on life. I was pretty tired when I got home considering that I did not sleep much yesterday so I think I am going to call it an early night. I am taking a sleeping pill so I can finally sleep tonight...

I don't even know where to begin....my day was insane. I was in meetings for half the day and now I have twice as much work as before and I can't even focus long enough to breathe. Sometimes I feel like I am going to get an ulcer from my job...I know that sounds horrible but it's true. After work I went to the gym with my friend Christy and hit the treadmill hard...I needed to work out my frustration. Good thing I did because I got 3.5 miles done!! Yay me! After my work out I came home for a bit and then I had to go to Michael's house to pick up his kitty. He is going camping and leaving Thursday afternoon so I am watching Sammy Wed-Sun. I got everything all set up in my room for her and I am hoping that she will sleep tonight and not keep me up half the night.

It was so hard to get through the day...work is so overwhelming right now and my plate is too full. I just have to keep reminding myself to take one thing at a time and if something can't get done....it will have to wait. I was going to go to the gym after work but I was too stressed out and all I wanted to do was sit down in front of the TV and eat pizza...so I did just that with Michael. It was not the perfect night that I was looking for as we ending up getting into an argument...thankfully we worked it out before we went to bed. I am so over this week already.

Oh my gosh...what a day. I came in to quite the mess at work today and ended up more stressed than I have ever been. I work so hard to do things right the first time and people are just mess things up and don't even care. So why should I? It is hard to care about my job when other people don't...After work I came home, had dinner, and crawled in bed to read. Today took a lot out of me and I am ready to call it an early night and go bed.

Another lovely Sunday morning! I got up early and made a nice big breakfast this morning and then went on a walk around the neighborhood with Amy. We had wanted to go to the French Festival so we made it downtown around 1:15pm and walked around and ate yummy French food! There were tons of people there but we ended up having a great time. Later on in the evening everyone was home (which never happens!) so we all ate dinner together, drank wine and chatted into the evening. Perfect end to the weekend....too bad I have to go back to work tomorrow.

Unfortunately I was not able to sleep in much today because it is so darn hot and I woke up in a sweat!! I cleaned up my room a little this morning and got up and made breakfast. Usually on the weekends my roommates and I all have breakfast together and talk about what we are going to do that day...we call it Amy, Carla and Jenn breakfast :)
We ended up having "breakfast" till past noon!! But I was finally able to get ready and get out the door to run some errands. I have been needing to get my car washed for weeks and finally got it done and it looks awesome!! After running errands I sat outside in the sun and read for while before deciding to go to the gym. I had not been in almost a week so it was nice to go get some. exercise. My goal next week is to go at least 4 times. Michael ended up coming over for dinner and then hung out for the rest of the night. He was exhausted and passed out early...guess I should do the same.

I hate been waiting for this day all week....too bad it went by SO slow. All I wanted to do was leave work....it has been stressful and not fun this week. I have actually been thinking about asking for a raise and I think I am going to ask in the next few weeks. I have taken on a lot more responsibility and I don't get paid enough to do my job. It has gotten to the point of where I am annoyed and don't care at times. I think if I got paid more I would care more about my job - plain and simple. So I have to do some research and figure out when I want to ask. Anyhow after work I came home and made dinner and then went on a movie date with Amy since both of our boyfriends were out of town. We went and saw the movie Cyrus which I highly recommend if you like indie films. After the movie we went to State and A for drinks and a yummy snack. It was a perfect way to start the weekend.

Work was stressful today and I actually ended up getting kinda upset by the end of the day. I can't wait for it to be Friday. Besides work I woke up with a sore throat and a runny nose which I was not too thrilled about. After work I went to Lassen's Health Food store and got an immune system enhancer and then I got some stuff to help with stress. I hope both of these help...because I don't want to get sick, and can't handle being stressed out right now. So after all that I went home, made dinner and relaxed for the rest of the night. I just need to take it easy...

Work went by slow today but I was thankful when the day was over. After work I ran over to Michael's house to drop off some stuff and I got to play with the kitty for awhile. She is so adorable and I wish I could take her home! After that I headed home and my roommates and I decided to make dinner together and we had an Indian affair. It was delicious and so fun to make together! We ate too much food, drank wine and had a great time together.

I was so happy to finally get a good night sleep last night!! I feel like I was able to function at work today and get some stuff done. After work I went to Trader Joe's....I had no food in my house and ended up spending a lot money....but now I have food!! I decided to stay in tonight and take it easy since this weekend had been so insane. Michael came over and now I get to cuddle and get some sleep.

So much for getting any sleep last night. I stayed over at Michael's house and his little kitty decided that she wanted to play at all different hours of the night. I hardly got any sleep at all and I was pretty much exhausted all day. It was all I could do to get myself through work. After work I went to dinner at Outback to celebrate my Dad's birthday!! Dinner was good and it was nice to spend some time with my family again. I came home from dinner, hung out for a bit and then crawled in bed. Time for a good night sleep!

Today Michael and I are celebrating two wonderful years together! We spent the day together and went up to Avila Beach to celebrate. We went shopping in the little stores, went to the beach and then we did some wine tasting. We had a nice romantic dinner and then headed over to the Sycamore Hot Springs to end the night. The hot springs were a lot of fun...I just wish we did not have an hour and a half drive home. I was so tired when we got back and just wanted to go to bed...

Good morning world! I have been looking forward to today for quite awhile now. I slept in today which was quite nice but had to rush to get ready and meet Michael. He wanted to do a little shopping this morning and buy a new shirt so we ended up going to Sears. After going shopping I headed home to get ready for my Grandma's wedding!! Michael and I got to the church at 3pm for pictures and then the ceremony started at 4pm. It was absolutely beautiful and I am so happy for my Grandma and my new Step-Grandpa. After the ceremony we went to Shadow Hills Estates for the reception and spent quality time with friends and family. I loved having all my family together and I am sad that we all have to part ways once again.

I thought I was going to be able to sleep in today since I had it off from work, but with Michael staying over last night I was up by 7am. I took my time getting ready today, however I had to be at Zen Spa by 9:45am for my swedish massage which was so nice and very relaxing! If I could afford it, I would get a massage at least once a week. After I got home I did a couple of loads of laundry, made brownies and then got ready. At 4:30pm I had to be at First Presbyterian Church for my grandma's rehearsal for her wedding tomorrow. I was very surprised to see some family members there who I had not seen in quite awhile! It made me so happy to see my whole family together - it is a very rare occasion. After the rehearsal at the church we went to the Yacht Club for dinner with the whole family and Michael was able to join us too :) I think everyone had a great time at dinner and we got to know our family and our new family a little better.

This work week was so nice...only worked 3 days!! I wish I could do that every week!
After work I ran a few errands and then I was planning on going to the gym but Michael convinced me to come over to his house. So I ended up having dinner over there and watching a couple of episodes of the Burn Notice...it is actually a pretty good TV show! I decided to go home around 10pm because I was tired and wanted to sleep in my own bed. Michael ended up surprising me and coming over to spend the night at my house. He hasn't been over in ages so it was nice to fall asleep next to him.

Woohoo...I made it through my second day of work this week and then I have to work tomorrow but I still get another three day weekend!! Work was pretty quite today and was able to get some work done but by the afternoon I was pretty caught up so the rest of the day went by pretty slowly. After work I went to the gym and got a workout in...I felt bad that I did not go yesterday. After the gym I went over to Michael's to see the little fuzz ball. This cat is the cutest thing ever!! I just wish the boys would come up with a name for her...

I absolutely loved having a three day weekend and I came back to work in a much better mood. I would be much happier working four 10 hour days and having Fri, Sat & Sun off...too bad that will never happen. Anyhow work was not too bad other than the big pile of emails that I had to go through. The day seemed to go by fast and I even got to see Michael on my lunch break! After work I went over the Michael's house and got to see their (him and his roommates) new kitty!! They just got here this evening and she is the cutest thing ever! She is so little and delicate. Guess who is going to be her mommy and spoil her!

It was so nice to have the day off today....I just love three day weekends and I do not get enough of them. I ended up staying over at Michael's last night but I came home early this morning to get ready and run some errands. I needed to go downtown and buy an anniversary gift for him and I think I found the perfect gift!! It turns out that my roommates were downtown too so I met up with this and we did some shopping for awhile. After shopping all afternoon we came home and relaxed for awhile...we were all pretty tired. It took a lot of motivation but I somehow managed to get to the gym and worked out for about an hour. I came home, made some dinner and watched some TV. Tired to go to bed early but I don't think that is going to happen...

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!
Nothing better than spending the day with friends, eating good food and having a few beers!

Even on my days off I wake up early...I got up around 8:30pm and I got ready as I had to be at Cutting Edge to get my hair done at 10am. I got my hair colored a lot darker and it looks amazing....I love it!! After work I came home, made lunch, cleaned up a little and then went over to Michaels. We ended up ordering a pizza and watching two movies - it was one of those days where it was nice to camp out on the couch together and not do anything. I just love relaxing weekends :)

Yay I just love that it is Friday once again and this time I have a 3 day weekend!!!! Work went by so slow today and I got everything done early so I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning up the office. After work I had planned on going to the gym but my roommates asked me if I wanted to go on a long walk and take one of their friends dogs to the dog park. So we ended up doing that and it was so fun to watch the dogs run around and play with each other. I have been trying to save money and cook at home, so I made dinner yet again. I ended up going over to Michael's house for a few hours and hanging out with him...he is so amazing and I am so lucky to have him in my life. I cannot believe our two year anniversary is coming up next week!

When I woke up this morning my stomach muscles hurts from working out - this is good!!! I had stayed over at Michael's house so I had to get up early and come home to get ready for work. Work has been good this week and I am very comfortable with my workload right now which makes me very happy. After work I went to a pilates class at the gym (it was my first class I have taken there!) and I had a good time. It was an hour workout and the leg exercises kicked my butt. After the workout I came home, made dinner and spent the rest of the evening at home.
