It sucks how some things turn out as I get older. People who I thought would be a part of my life FOREVER are completely gone for stupid reasons.
Family really is all you have. Makes me wish I could have more time with them now that I am so far away from them.
But being this far away really has made me appreciate them much more. I know that if I saw them all the time I would not have such great experiences with them every time I see them now that I live 8 hours away. We don't fight like we used and that feels great.
I have learned that there are some people who have been a part of my life for a reason. And they just weren't meant to stay around forever. I learn and grow from every situation I am in, so I do not regret anything. I am just really sad sometimes because I miss the people who I surrounded myself with, who I felt made me who I am.
I think that part of the reason I feel so different out here in AZ is because those people are not a part of me anymore and I am on my own being me, by myself... in front of new people who have never known me before. Now... their perception of me is who I am and what I let them see or know... and I am a grown up, and a "supervisor" and a responsible person and I am being treated like that. I have never felt so... old. 27 is coming up... too late for "Girls Gone Wild" haha

Grapefruit

Grapefruit comes in many varieties, determinable by color, which is caused by the pigmentation of the fruit in respect of both its state of ripeness and genetic bent.

The most popular varieties cultivated today are red, white, and pink hues, referring to the inside, pulp color of the fruit. The family of flavors range from highly acidic and somewhat bitter to sweet and tart.

I love grapefruit. I never liked it before, but I like it now!

I just ate an organic grapefruit from Sprouts Market here in Arizona and it was sooooooo good!

I have decided to tell yall a few of the cool things I
have been up to lately:

- Enrolled in a Samba and Mambo dance class through
the Simi Parks and Recreation with Beau. My first
class was on Wed. and Beau and I had so much fun. So,
the next person to have a wedding... Beau and I will
be ready to shake, shake, shake it .

- Enrolled in a belly dancing class with Andrasta,
Krystal, Kathleen and Emily. My first class was last
night and I sure found out that I ain't one drop of
sexy... and I am sore today. One day I should be great
at shaking my "laffy taffy"

- I have been sick all week, and my boss sent me home
today.

- I threw a surprise birthday party for my sister last
weekend.

- Last I went out for Karaoke at the Corbin Bowl, with
Beau, Andrasta, and Jason. Samia and her husband
showed up and so did Chris. I was extremely
intoxicated and I sang like a rock star. I don't
remember what songs I sang.... but I am sure they were
good ones... I puked the next morning. It was
fantastic!

- I went to the Getty with my mom, sister and Beau. I
LOVE the Getty. We went when it was raining and for
some reason it made it feel more magical. My favorite
exhibit right now is WeeGee's crime scenes. I love
photography, especially when it involves criminals and
blood. muwahahaha.

- I got a hair cut from my wonderful hair dresser
Racheal Evans of Self Image Salon. I will post a
picture as soon as I am not sick and I stop feeling
disgusting. I think I may do a blog on the different
hair she has given me over the past few years...
hmmm...

- I want to learn how to sew, so if anyone knows how
to do that and wants to teach me... I will be here
waiting for you... I just need a sewing machine.

- Going to Melrose tomorrow to get my eyes checked and
to hang out and walk around and be retarded.

- Doing some house sitting for some friends this
weekend.

- Gotta come up with a topic for my 4th speech in
Toastmasters. Andrasta and I are scheduled to give
speeches on the same day, so we are thinking of
collaborating and joining forces. We may re-inact a
fight we once had... that involved crying... she
actually posted a blog about it on MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/andrasta) If anyone
is interested. I still have to go through old e-mails
and try to find my side of the argument.

- Going to work on my speech this weekend with
Andrasta.

- Still planning on posting the pictures from our New
Years Bash! Why am I so lazy?

- Decided I want to be a vegitarian again... I did it
for about 2 years, then when I started going out with
Beau, I started eating crap meat again... I will still
eat chicken... just no cow meat or piggy meat. Hey I
am even going to cut out my absolute favorite... HOT
DOGS! oh man I don't know what I am going to do
without hot dogs.

- Gotta come up with a topic for my 4th speech in
Toastmasters. Andrasta and I are scheduled to give
speeches on the same day, so we are thinking of
collaborating and joining forces. We may re-inact a
fight we once had... that involved crying... she
actually posted a blog about it "Free Will" If anyone
is interested. I still have to go through old e-mails
and try to find my side of the argument.

- Going to work on my speech this weekend with
Andrasta.

I am committed to fighting the cancer in my community!

I know far too many people whose lives have been touched by cancer. Chances are, you know them too. That’s why I’m taking action against cancer by supporting the American Cancer Society Relay For Life event right here in Simi Valley, California.

Relay is an overnight event that unites our community in a common effort to raise much-needed funds for cancer research, education, advocacy, and patient services. Every year, the funds we raise help bring the American Cancer Society one step closer to eliminating cancer from our lives for good, but we can’t stop now. Because there’s no finish line until there’s a cure.

I hope you’ll be able to join us for this year’s event. Please click on the link below for more information, including details of the inspirational Survivors’ Lap and the moving Luminaria Ceremony. If you can’t join us, will you please visit the site and make a donation to support our efforts? Either way, you will make a real difference in the lives of people facing cancer – and in the lives of the people who love them. Thank you!

Please visit my personal donation site:

https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorR…

I will be walking this Sunday, September 25th from 3AM to 5:pm

I still have not bought a lap top, but I paid off one of my credit cards!
I do have a digital camera now! I am almost caught up with technology.
YESSSS I love technology, but not as much as you, you see…
