An Update

My days have been fun filled and work filled, I have been babysitting often. any excuse to play and get paid for it I jump at. The last time I baby sat I watched to little girls aged 2 and 3, we played princess dress up. we had a Belle and a Rapunzel. we did our hair and we painted our nails and put on make up. bright oinks and greens were the colors of the day. after everybody was sufficiently satisfied with how they looked, we all sat down to have a tea party complete with cake. It was a glorious day.

The other place I spend a large majority of my time has been at work. I get to wear this awesome headset that makes me look like Britney in her hey day. I am lucky that I get to work with a group of fun people everyday. We make jokes and of course we always make our deadlines. I do get bored at work on occasion when there are only a handful of phone calls and not too many appointments. Friday was a day of few appointments, I think everybody wanted the day off to recover from all the Halloween festivities.

I am lucky enough to have purchased a new car, its a cute little black Chevy Spark. I loved my Jeep, Lola the Liberty,  but I couldn't handle the gas mileage she was getting for me. My Spark has more than doubled my gas mileage. Matt insists on calling my spark the clown car, which I refuse to acknowledge. I love it, it's fun sized just like me. 

Sparky :)

This Halloween I spent it with my family volunteering at Olive wood Gardens just like last year. I think the pictures speak for themselves.

On to November and as always my promise to post more!

Tiger Tiger

Today is Wednesday, and I am at work. 

Yesterday I could not come into work because my batteries got drained from overuse, so I plugged in for a day and did a manual reset. Matty made me stay home in bed because I had been feeling so bad for so long. 

The rest was much needed and I would say that my batteries are almost back at full charge again. which is good because Matt is taking me out to this place in our neighborhood called Tiger Tiger, it should be a fun low key evening.

We have pretty much finished moving in and getting our lives all set up, 

we are so in love with the area it is absolutely perfect for Matt and I. Living with Matt is amazing, He kisses me goodbye every morning and good night every night. He still does sweet little things like Redbox the movies I wanna see, and say with a slight cringe on his face that "sure, we can watch princess and the frog if you really want." Laughter abounds in our cozy little apartment, and clashing decorating sense. So far were navigating this whole living together thing just fine. Was trying to get everything moved in a timely and orderly  and O.C.D. fashion easy with Mr. laid back Matt? No, but it happened and were moved and hopefully we won't have to move for a while yet. Or if we do, I wont be a gypsy like I was this time. 

Last week Matt and I went to the Paul Thorn show at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach

Paul and I after the show...He hugged me :)

It's been a while

Its been quite a while since I have blogged, life gets in the way of being online sometimes. 

Life has been moving in an extremely positive direction, I have fallen in love with the most amazing man, I work at a job that has enabled me to move in with this man, I have surrounded myself with some good friends and let go of the ones who weren't so good, I lost a puppy but I got a new one, I've said a bittersweet farewell to my childhood home, and everyday has been like a new adventure. 

In the last few months I have come to have a much deeper connection with my family and can honestly say that they are more than my parents but some of my closest friends and confidants. There is no better feeling then coming home from a long day and plopping down on the couch next to your mom and having a real conversation about your day and your life. I've shed a few tears in realizing that when I move in with Matt on the 2nd that I will no longer have this option, I can't get upset and cry for no reason and have my mommy to comfort me, I can't get sick and have my dad make me his chicken noodle soup, I won't be able to walk out of my room at 7:30 and eat dinner while yelling the answers on jeopardy with them. The situation makes me sad, but at the same time I am over-the-moon excited to be moving in with Matt.

When it comes to Matt I have never met anybody so loving, funny, quirky, determined, focused, scattered, creative, and amazing. The first time I met Matt I knew it would be something big for me. He scared me and excited me, I wanted t get to know this great personality and figure out his quirks, his favorite foods, his fears, and the things that made him fearless. It hasn't been exactly a cakewalk but we complement each so well it doesn't need to be. We have struggled with living just out of arms reach for nearly 8 months. He lives a 45 minute drive away so anytime I wanted to just sit and watch movies on the couch with him I had to drive and plan and push other plans, it has definitely been a struggle because he's so close but at the same not close enough. I also don't share well with others making it hard to give up any of the time I did have with him. Now I can hardly wait the 7 days until we can move into our apartment, this will be a whole new world for both of us.

I have been working my little tail off to make this big new world work for me. I have been working full-time at a real estate company for about 6 months and absolutely love it. I love the people,the business is fun, and I like the paycheck. In addition to working at the real estate company I also have been working at Bath and Body Works as part of the floor-set team. I help get the store ready when there are new products or sales. I have also been trying to up my number of babysitting clients so that I babysit at least 2 to 3 times a month. In fact I have another babysitting meet and greet this weekend. I have also been pawning myself off to the people I know as a great house sitter. I am currently house sitting for a friend of my parents. they have the cutest little pug in the entire world. They in a part of San Diego called Crest. It is up this mountain area, I have gotten up before 6:00 am every morning this week just to see the sunrise. Its the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen.this is coming from somebody who hates waking up early though, so maybe its just really seeing a sunrise for the first time . Waking up in the house has made me look ever toward my future, Someday I want to wake up on a Saturday and plop down on the couch with my dog and watch the morning music videos while I figure out what I am going to do for the day. I want to wake up tun on the coffee pot and kiss Matt good morning (yup I love him enough to endure morning breath), the dreams are small but they are mine.

So to conclude this out of character long post I will just say stay tuned for more from me! I would like to start updating more!
