Nice drive on a nice day

I got it in my head to take a drive somewhere today, because I didn't feel like spending such a nice day indoors. So, I headed up to Tehachapi, which is not far from Bakersfield. After my nerves got rattled by the earthquake, it was nice to get out of town and just drive. It was a beautiful day...very sunny and warm. There weren't many cars out on the freeway, which was nice. I took a side road up to Hart Flat and it was gorgeous up there. I didn't care for the road though, as it was too narrow. I was just hoping that I wouldn't meet any cars on the way up. Not much room for 2 cars on that road. After that, I stopped in Tehachapi for food and then drove out to Mojave on the back road and took in the sights. Of course, I took pictures - hehe. After that, I drove back home and went out for pizza with Alicia. It was a nice day. Maybe tomorrow I will drive out to the Kern River. I thought about doing that today, but decided on the mountains instead.

My gerbera daisies are still alive too - lol - The only ones that didn't make it were the cineranias - the bugs ate them up :(

Calla lilies - I grew them myself (and yes, I am as surprised as you that they are still alive!) aren't they purty?

I thought no commercial could ever be as creepy as the Quizno's commercial ... I was wrong - way wrong. Skittles has come up with an even creepier commercial, and they call them, the "Sheep Boys." - this is just wrong!

Rocking and rolling in Central California




As I was getting dressed no more than 10 minutes ago, my place started shaking and the stars on my ceiling started moving back and forth...yep, it was an earthquake. I sat on my bed for a minute wondering if the shaking was going to get any stronger, and when I decided it was ok, I just sat there and enjoyed the ride. Earth shaking is just one of the "perks" of living in California.

Of course, I had to look it up to see where the epicenter was (since I am a nerd like that).

Magnitude 5.1 - CENTRAL CALIFORNIA 2005 April 16 19:18:12 UTC Preliminary Earthquake Report California Integrated Seismic NetUSGS/ Caltech/ CGS/ UCB/ UCSD/ UNR

A moderate earthquake occurred at 19:18:12 (UTC) on Saturday, April 16, 2005. The magnitude 5.1 event has been located in CENTRAL CALIFORNIA.


Location
35.021°N, 119.174°W


Depth
0.4 km (~0.2 mile) (poorly constrained)


Region
CENTRAL CALIFORNIA


Distances
19 km (12 miles) N (356°) from Pine Mountain Club, CA

19 km (12 miles) WSW (256°) from Mettler, CA
21 km (13 miles) E (101°) from Maricopa, CA
36 km (22 miles) SW (222°) from Lamont, CA
40 km (25 miles) SSW (199°) from Bakersfield, CA
137 km (85 miles) NW (322°) from Los Angeles Civic Center, CA

so the epicenter was pretty close to home. Luckily it was only a moderate earthquake, so nothing fell off my shelves, but it did wake up Squeakers, my hamster - lol.

Wonder if there will be any aftershocks - lol.

Stuff for men to know

according to Netscape's Men's section, these are the "25 Things Women Wish Men Would Figure Out" - by Laura Singer

*this is what I, as a woman, say

1) Saying "I love you" before, during or after sex doesn't count.

(* this is true - unless he has said "I love you" before, saying this pre, mid or post coitus does not count - lol. Especially pre or mid! I want to hear it out of the blue, and for him to MEAN it!)

2) When we ask you how we look, "fine" is not an appropriate answer.

(* well, I generally never ask how I look to anyone, cuz I know I look crappy no matter what - lol - that question should be avoided at all costs, less someone get hurt - lol)

3) We obsess over whether you'll call from the moment we give you our number.

(*this is true! I love to get phone calls. Except from telemarketers - lol)

4) We fantasize. But it's usually about you.

(* true again - I find it silly and "unproductive" to fantasize about celebrities and the like. It is never gonna happen. I am more of a realist - lol)

5) We love it when you email us at work.

(* yep! I love that too - almost as much as phone calls - lol)

6) No matter how cool we seem about it, if you did something bad, we're pissed off.

(* depends on how bad the thing was - if it was something little, like not calling when he said he would, then I can get over that fast. BUT, if he stole something from me, that is quite another thing.)

7) Don't patronize us by asking if our bad mood is because of PMS.

(* LOL - that is funny - those who know me, know that I am moody anyway, and yes, I do attribute it to PMS sometimes. But, please don't ask me if I am PMS'ing - that is a sure way to piss me off - lol)

8) Don't ever tell us what to do, even when we ask you to.

(* well this is not quite true - If I ask for directions, I do want to be told what to do and where to go - lol - but I don't want to be told what to wear though or what I should or should not believe in)

9) We will leave you if you lie to us.

(*again, depends on the lie - if he lies to me and tells me my cooking tastes good when I know if doesn't, then I am not gonna leave him for that - lol - however, if he lies to me about his marital status or something big like that, yes, this would be true)

10) We're unimpressed by men who don't take the lead. Be a man, dammit!

(* this is very true - I don't like pushovers or men who always agree with me just for the sake of agreement - BE A MAN!!! There is a fine line between being agressive and being a man though - a line that should not be crossed - unless you are driving, then it is ok - lol)

11) We love when you hold our hands.

(* very true! I love holding hands - I am a romantic I guess, and like men who like to be romantic back - it isn't all about sex, you know.)

12) We need to hear how you feel about us. Tell us right now. And again in ten minutes.

(* very true - well at least if he wants to stay in a relationship with me - I need to feel that I am appreciated and thought about and that I am special to him - although every ten minutes is extremely excessive (not to mention obsessive) - maybe every other day or whenever he calls - but not every ten minutes! That is nuts!)

13) We want to be the best thing that ever happened to you -- and for you to know it.

(* exactly !! right on the money there)

14) If we don't feel loved, we'll start looking elsewhere.

(* VERY true! If I don't feel special or like I am getting the attention and affection I deserve, then I am outta there! It is very important to me to feel like I am special and wanted. )

15) Don't talk about your ex. Ever.

(* not true - it is ok to talk about the ex - I would like to know what went wrong so maybe I can avoid making the same mistake - talking about her excessively, however, is NOT ok)

16) We like porn, too.

(yep! except the ones with girl on girl action - NASTY!)

17) We remember everything about our relationships. Yes, everything.

(* yep - I have a good memory - which is both a good and bad thing)

18) We let you fix things.

(* oh yeah - since I am inept at fixing most things - especially anything automotive)

19) You're sexiest when you're: sweating, driving, shaving, or holding a baby.

(* I agree on all of these but driving - I don't particularly think of driving as being sexy - I would also add smiling and smelling good to the list)

20) We've faked it.

(* yep!)

21) Groping and foreplay are not the same thing.

(* again, yep! I want romance, not just blind lust)

22) While we're on the subject: more foreplay!

(* YES! lol)

23) If we're not having sex it's because: we feel fat; we don't feel very close to you, or we are punishing you for not doing something our way.

(* I agree on the 2nd and 3rd ones ... well on the 3rd one, maybe not for not doing something MY way, but just something bad in general ... but not the first - also add "that time of the month" to the list - lol)

24) We're afraid to meet your mother.

(* not necessarily, unless his mother is a cannibal or something - I would feel a little odd if I was not invited to meet his family or friends if I have been with him for a while - that would be a clue to me that I was not that important to him, or that he was ashamed to be seen with me. )

25) We think you should have already known all this stuff.

(* some of these things, yes ... but I like to retain some of my mystery - things cease to be interesting after you have figured it all out.)

My head is about to explode...you have been warned

Today was the worst day at work I have had in a while. You know that old saying, "What can go wrong, will go wrong" ? Well, it was very applicable today. The afternoon was not much better than the morning. We got 3 overflow appointments today, so the poor trainees had to work their asses off, but then, that is what a normal day in intake would be like. I just tried my best to keep everyone sane and offered up some humor by telling them that they were just getting a little glimpse into their future at work. This made them laugh, but it was more of a nervous laugh - lol. Poor them. I feel for them. I was new once, too. But, now I am the mentor and am supposed to keep myself grounded and positive, which I usually do a good job of. But, at times, I found myself getting grumpy when people came over to me when I was on my break or at lunch and wanted a question answered. Of course, we got a late overflow appointment at 4:15 today, and it could not be processed in time for the woman to get her food stamp card today, so she will have to pick it up on Monday. Oh well. And then there was a problem with another food stamp card, and I didn't know what was wrong with it, so I asked Lydia, and she told me. It bugs me when I don't know the answer to something. It really does. Hopefully Loraina will be back tomorrow ! (please let her come in to work tomorrow! lol)

If I had any alcohol in the house, I would be drinking some right now, but I don't. But I do have ice cream - hehe.

Any more of this and my head will explode

I used to complain about having no work to do at work. I used to. Now, I am kinda glad I don't, cuz today, so far, has been crazy! My supervisor is out ill, so that leaves me alone with all the new peeps. My old supervisor, Lydia, is here, so she can grant all the expedites, thank goodness. But since the trainees need someone to go with them on their interviews for the time being, I was struggling to figure out some sort of way to either clone myself or cut myself in two so I can be in two places at the same time (since the trainees' interviews were at the same time, OF COURSE!). Luckily, Molly was able to cover Ommar's interview at 8 this morning, but I had to cover both Ommar's and Jose's appointments at 10 - that was a tad difficult. Luckily they both had "easy" clients (by easy, I mean homeless and/or with no income or resources). Then I had to go with Sylvia to her 10:45 appointment, which we didn't get out of til about 12:20. So, I had to take a late lunch. But at least Los Tacos was not busy like it normally is. Now I can finally take a breather . . . whew. What a morning. And it is only 2 pm now. We have an early 7 am staff meeting tomorrow, which means I will have to get my lazy ass out of bed early to be here by 6:30 am at least. I am not even gonna try for 6 am, cuz I know that will never happen! I am NOT a morning person... at all. At least we have casual Fridays :)

Ok...on an off note, what were Americal Idol voters doing last nite? Why was Anthony not in the bottom 3? Why the hell was Bo in the bottom 3? That was total BS. Now, Nadia, yes, needed to go home, but Anthony or Scott surely needed to go home before her. Ugh. I guess I can't complain since I don't vote, but I expected people to have more sense. I guess I overestimated people's intelligence on that one. If anyone deserved to be in the bottom 3, it was Anthony. He is inconsistent and often off-key. Maybe I am a little too into American Idol - lol.

South Park, however, was, as Cartman would say, hella funny. Poor Butters! And you think Cartman's anal probe was bad! Yikes!

Well, things have quieted down a little here at work. We'll see how the rest of the afternoon goes.

It's tax day, damnit!

Funny Stuff From George Carlin

People I can do without:

- People who whistle cowboy songs at a funeral.
- Anyone who refers to Charles Manson as "Chuck."
- A girl whose wallet contains nude photos of Sam Donaldson or Yassir Arafat.
- A priest with an eyepatch and a limp who's selling pieces of the cross.

Wednesday morning

I was driving to work this morning, and was stopped at a stoplight, when I noticed the crossing guard walking a little girl across the street in the crosswalk. I couldn't help but to think that being a crossing guard must be one of the worst jobs in the world. First of all, it has got to be boring. I mean, you have to sit and wait for a kid to come along to give you something to do. And you have to be there whether it is raining, snowing, hot or cold. Secondly, it is a dangerous job. Think about it. A crossing guard's job is basically to put himself in harm's way so a kid can cross the street "safely." Basically, this means that you are there to get hit by the car instead of the kid. You would be a bigger target after all. I wouldn't rely on your whistle and stop sign to get people to stop. I have seen plenty of cars just go through a regular stop sign and not stop. I don't think the same drivers are going to stop just because there is a person in the crosswalk holding up a stop sign. Heck, they rarely stop to let a person cross the street in the crosswalk. Nope, not a job that I would care to have. Don't want to get run over today, thank you very much.

I read that that woman who supposedly found a fingertip in Wendy's chili is not going to sue, and that she was being investigated because she has filed so many lawsuits in the past already. Looks like she may have planted the fingertip in the chili herself so she could sue, which leaves one to wonder where the heck the finger came from! Yuck.

I thought that maybe the Britney Spears being pregnant story was all a really bad dream, but then I just read it again and see that it is true...sadly true. What was the girl thinking marrying that loser? And now she is going to have a kid with him? She should have stuck with her dogs for the time being.

As if that wasn't bad enough, Pamela Anderson is getting a new tv show. I smell a, pardon the pun, ratings bust.

I also read that some pharmacists are not filling prescriptions for birth control pills and "morning after" pills, because of their "religious convictions." All I know is, if that I went to the pharmacy and they told me I couldn't have my birth control pills because they "morally objected" to their use, I would be pissed ! What right do they have to deny someone that? That would be like a grocer not allowing an adult to buy beer or cigarettes, because they don't approve of their use. Or a pharmacist not wanting to fill a pain killer prescription because they believe pain is good for you. Good lord! What is this world coming to? Maybe I should not come to work because I morally object to the concept of work. HA! Let's see how that flies - lol. If these people do not want to fill prescriptions, then maybe they should find another job.

News you wish wasn't true

This is absolutely disgusting. Some people should not be allowed to reproduce !

Woman Accused of Trading Daughter for Car

OKEECHOBEE, Fla. (AP) - A woman was arrested for allegedly forcing her 12-year-old daughter into prostitution and trading a 14-year-old daughter for a car. The 39-year-old woman was charged with aggravated child abuse and sexual performance by a child. Both girls have been turned over to the Department of Children & Families. The youngest girl and her mother were living out of their car, and would sell sex for food and an occasional shower at the men's homes, according to a report by Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office Detective K.J. Ammons. The youngest daughter is three months pregnant, the report said; she was 11 when her mother first forced her to have sex with a man. The older daughter refused to be a prostitute and was allegedly sold for a car.

"She was sold to a man for a Mercury Cougar,'' Ammons said. "But he never gave the mother the vehicle.'' He was arrested in the case.

The youngest girl told detectives her mother took them out of school. "She said she was a good student and made A's and B's, and all she wants to do is go back to school,'' he said.

American Idol

Tonite's show just wrapped up. If I were a judge, I would sum up each performance like this:


Nadia - ho-hum
Bo - awesome
Anwar - fabulous
Anthony - so-so
Vonzelle - outstanding
Scott - uck
Carrie - amazing
Constantine - ugh

My bottom 3: Scott, Anthony, Constantine
Who's going home? Scott

And that's my opinion.

My favorite band

Now, normally, I am a metal/hard rock/alternative kind of girl, but I love Buffalo Tom. They are more of a folk/rock kind of band. I just love their lyrics, and the music goes really well with the lyrics. I listen to their cd's and never get bored with them. Unlike today's pop bands, their lyrics are more than just about love or hanging out at the corner store. This song is one of my favorites:


Would not be released
Could not be denied
I tried to say the words
But got tripped up inside
You can murder them with guns
Poison them with lye
You can take a person's life
But you can't squelch his pride
This city's not my own
This world is not my home
But I'll carry it on my back
As far as my feet will roam
I opened up my eyes
I offered up my coat
I opened up my mouth
But knots tied in my throat
And I will not be denied
Will not be denied
If not for innocence
My guilt would stop right here
Reliving all my life
In the span of just one year
My mouth's a hurricane
But something inside just died
I'd always just assumed
My evil would subside
Could I have been misled
Could you have misread
Please don't punish me
For things I have not said
The last's a lonely mile
I'll remember it for a while
You'll never speak to me
Unless it's to revile
But I will not be denied
Will not be denied
Will not be denied
Will not be denied
Denied
Denied

Almost time to go home for the day

It is nearly 5 o'clock, which means it is almost time to go home for the day. I wish I got off at 5, but I am here til 5:30 (more grumbling). We had training today, which was boring, and the room was hot. Felt like the heater was on (grumble grumble). I sat here at my desk and did my bills, which induced more grumbling, but at least they are done....for this month. Now I have to go to the bank after work and take my car payment in, since I was sick and couldn't do it yesterday (grumble). Then I have to go to the grocery store (grumbling very loud), which I HATE to do. I am still grumpy cuz I am not feeling all that well, thus the grumbling. Normally, I don't grumble all day long...just in the mornings. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Oh yeah. I just read that Britney Spears confirmed that she is, indeed, preggers. So much for all her hating on the media, since this time they got it right. Be on the lookout for Cheeto-flavored baby food coming to a local grocery store near you. Let's just hope it's not a boy...he'll be wearing a "Pimp" sweatshirt in no time.

Today feels like a Monday

Even though it is Tuesday, it feels like a Monday, probably because I was out sick yesterday. I am still feeling kind of sick, but definitely not as bad as I was yesterday. At least I can sit up and breathe out of my nose. It's those little things we take for granted that, when we get them back, we really appreciate. I do appreciate breathing...very much!

I had the typical commute to work...slow, slow, slow. Traffic was backed up on the Ming offramp, and I expected it to be bad when I got to the 58, but it wasn't bad there at all. It typically is pretty jammed up there. The drive was slow, but uneventful. So far, so good. When I got to work, I walked up to the door and the danged thing was locked. Bad mood already beginning. The building opens at 7:30 and I got there about 7:35 (a few minutes late, but oh well - lol), so the door should have been open. Grumble, grumble. So I walked around to the other door and got in that way. It is not a good thing to be put in a bad mood that early. Normally, it wouldn't bother me, but I am still feeling sick, so any additional walking is just plain irritating to me - lol.

My phone is messed up. I pickup the receiver and there is no dial tone, yet people can call in and I can get messages on my answering machine. But when I pick up the phone to answer it...nothing. Weird. That means I have to call SBC and find out what's up with it. More grumbling.

There is a leak in my roof. Well not MY roof. It is the apartment's roof. It is not actually leaking into my bedroom, but every time it rains, I can hear the rain drops hitting the ceiling...drip, drip, drip. Just like a leaky faucet overhead. Guess I will need to call the landlord. More grumbling.

There is also a leak in the toilet. Add that to the landlord's list. More grumbling.

I read in the news that some kid robbed a grave and stole a head off a corpse. How sick! Even sicker is this...

"Authorities are not sure of the motive of the crime. Court documents said the suspect allegedly talked of using the man's head as a bong or a pipe for smoking marijuana." ( Strange News - AP).

What is this world coming to?? How disgusting. Can you imagine how the poor man's widow must have felt? Can you imagine how the boy's parents must have felt? Sheesh! I have nothing else to say on that. What more can one say about something like that?

Even more grumbling.

This week on South Park . . .

"

Butters sees a ghost in an all new episode of "South Park".

Butters is freaked out when he thinks he can communicate with the dead in an all-new episode of “South Park,” entitled “The Death Of Eric Cartman,” premiering Wednesday, April 13 at 10:00 p.m. on Comedy Central.

Although his parents have made it clear to him there are no such things as ghosts, Butters is sure one is haunting him. Butters knows he has to give up his ghost pal or be put into a mental institution.

Something I have been thinking about

Seems like all the astronomers wonder where the end of the universe is. But what I wanna know, is where the beginning of the universe is?

Ahhhh chooooo



I had a great weekend. Went bowling on Saturday night. Chris beat me in both games (of course)...Game 1....Chris 98, me 95...Game 2...Chris 187, me 119. I had fun, even though I lost both times - lol. We took a drive to Guadalupe on a road I had never been on before and went down to the sand dunes. The waves were really rough, and there weren't any surfers there, but there were quite a few fishermen. Then we went to Pismo Beach and Shell Beach on Sunday. The weather was beautiful, all was nice and sunny, but a touch on the cold side. We went out to breakfast and then walked along the pier on Pismo Beach and watched the surfers, and a few seals that were swimming in the waves. A sea otter was swimming right below us and was busy trying to get his lunch open. You could hear the sound of him slamming the shell on the rock on his stomach. Pretty clever animals, those otters. It was so cute.

Took a drive to Shell Beach, too, and stopped along the road to watch the ocean for a bit. The water makes such a loud noise as the waves crash onto the shore. It is so easy to see why people in earlier times thought that the ocean was the end of the earth. It looks like it goes on forever.

Later, we went to Boomers and played some Skee Ball and then went mini golfing. I hadn't been mini golfing in about 2 years. This was my 2nd time ever playing (the 1st time I went, oh my gosh...I did horrible - lol). I actually got a hole in one on one hole. I was amazed. Chris was amazed. The people behind us were amazed - lol. I had a lot of fun, even though I lost. Losing seems to be something I am good at - hehe. After that, we went and got ice cream at Cold Stone. I had this concoction called Birthday Cake something Remix - it was soooo yummy!!! You can check out Cold Stone at http://www.coldstonecreamery.com/secondary/creation.asp. It was very sweet, but ...wow. lol

Yeah, it was a great weekend. But as it was getting later last nite, I knew I was coming down with something. I didn't end up leaving Santa Maria til after 10 pm. I was really tired and starting to get all stuffed up. By the time I got home, I was completely stuffed up, to the point where I could not even breathe through my nose (I was sneezing all the way home). I could not sleep last nite because of the itch in my throat and I was coughing, so I stayed home today and slept most of the day. I am still all stuffy and achey (I think my brother gave me his cold! ugh!), but feeling better...finally! At least I have all this candy and stuff that Chris gave me for my birthday - mmm ....caramel!! Gotta love the caramel! So, here I am....sucking on throat drops and drinking juice, coughing and blowing my nose. But, at least I had a good weekend. Kinda makes it all seem better :)

As you see, I am not good at mini golf - but I did get a hole in one on the 11th hole - hehehehe
