Moonlit Jazz

It’s more like a day of recovery. I don’t want to drive the almost hour drive to Dublin and work eight hours on dispos and yadda yadda yadda. Know what I mean? Being sick is utterly draining…

Right now I’m listening to Nick Lachey. If I don’t hurry, in about five or less songs it’s going to change to Britney Spears. Yes, I got Britney’s new album and I have yet to purchase Christina Aguilera’s CD. I’m messed up, eh? Pink’s CD is cool. I like her, even though for the longest time I hated her songs. Mostly the ones from the first album. Her second one rocked and this latest one has promise. As for Mr. Lachey, he sounds lovely as usual. R&B and I’ll probably listen to his CD more than I’ve listened to his wife’s, even though her current one is better than her last one. Her last CD sucked! 😛

Oh, I’ve put pictures up from Mike’s Party and Last Day. It’s not a very fancy page, but the pictures are there. I’m trying to catch up with my pictures!

As autumn winds down to winter…

I just took that picture. Who says that we don’t get the colors of autumn in California? Ha!

The sun peeks through the autumn leaves…

And another one just because. Oh, I think I’ve gotten to the last Nick song on the list! Time to end the post. 😉

Listening to “You’re the Only Place” by Nick Lachey

A’s acquire OF Kielty from Toronto
I’m a little sad that Ted Lilly is gone. I thought he did a fantastic job after Mulder’s injury. And he’s such a babyface! 😉 Oh well, I wish him luck in Toronto. As for Kielty, I know nothing about him. Sounds like he’ll be an asset for the outfield, as well as payroll. Always the bottom line…

The news I’m dreading is this one:
Long, Hernandez would go to Padres
The trade would be Ramon Hernandez and Terence Long for outfielder Mark Kotsay. The A’s are looking over Kotsay’s medical records first.

I love Ramon Hernandez and I’m SAD that he’s probably going to be traded. He’s been THE catcher and I’m going to miss him. Alas.

But the deal’s not done yet!

SO YEAH, I’M STILL SICK…

I didn’t got into work today, this time on a sick day. I woke up at 0830 hrs and felt like crap. So I let the dogs out and called work and let them know that I was sick. Then I let the dogs back in and went back to bed and slept for another three hours.

I spent the day playing on the computer and reading. I finished FAKING IT by Jennifer Crusie. Very cool book. I’m going to have to pick up her others.

PLUGS

Krisann (my most faithful reader), Meesh (she’s got a groovy new layout)

I’m sad Steph has gone bye bye and Nicole has gone on hiatus. Steph, I’ll miss your blog! And Nicole, I just discovered you! 🙁 Alas, alas…

First, Monday things…

I should not have gone to work on Monday. I was miserable! But I stuck to it and made it to the end of the night. Hopefully I didn’t get anyone sick. 😛

Nothing to to report on that end. Oh, the holiday schedules were up. No surprise, I got all the holidays off. I checked anyway, just in case. You never know sometimes…

And today…

It’s definitely a good thing that I took today off. I was not feeling good at all! I cleaned up, put sheets and towels in the washer, and just relaxed. But I felt so awful!

Finally, it was time to go back to Salida. I really do feel sorry for all those people who have to commute everyday on the congested freeways. How utterly disheartening!

It’s so good to be home. My bed calls to me, but I want to keep writing. Oh, and listening to some music…

Pictures…

If you’d like to see a few pictures from Saturday night plus pictures of the doggies, click on the picture below…

Listening to “Hell Yeah” by Montgomery Gentry

It’s been 21 months since Kevin Smith passed away… I mention it only because today I bought two packs of the Xena Quotable cards and one of the cards had an Ares picture on it. I still miss him…

So, I woke up without a hang over. Miracles! But I’m still sick. I’ve been sniffling and sneezing since Friday and it hasn’t really gotten any better. Drinking last night helped me a little, I think. Today my throat doesn’t hurt as much, but I am still congested. Yuck.

THE PARTY LAST NIGHT…

I took pictures! I drank a bit (as evidenced by last night’s post during my inebriated state), nibbled on carrots, and mingled. I knew some of the folks attending, but mostly just hung out. The DJ played and sometime before midnight (but after my post last night), the cops came:

(doorbell rings madly, birthday girl has the DJ turn down the music as she heads to the door)

Birthday girl: Hello. I couldn’t hear the doorbell.

Officer: I’m not surprised.

(Officer asks to turn down the music a bit, then leaves.)

Yeah, I thought it was funny that she said she couldn’t hear the doorbell. 😉

And yes, before that, the fire alarm went off. We’re guessing because of the smoke machine. I was outside, so I didn’t hear it until they turned the music down. By then ADT had tried to call and ended up calling my in-laws all the way in Maryland. They in turn tried to call back here. It was all straightened out after a bit. No big deal. 😛

AND TODAY…

By the time we came out of our room, the rest of the house looked almost as it did pre-party. We went out and did not come back until sometime after sundown and the house had that fresh Pine Sol smell.

We headed out to Fremont, then Milpitas, visiting our old haunts. We had lunch at Erik’s Deli, then walked around at the Great Mall. I bought some stuff at Bath and Body Works. We got some CDs at Media Play. On the way back, we stopped at Fry’s. I love Fry’s. We didn’t buy anything there. How odd. Our last stop was the hobby shop here in Livermore. I got two packs of Xena Quotables.

I hope I feel better tomorrow. I hate sniffling!

And friendly plugs out to:

Krisann – You are always so encouraging. I’m so lucky to have such a lovely friend! 😀

Nicole – soulDecision is one of my favorite groups! It’s probably because I met Trevor (and he’s a CUTIE!). Oh, and they’re friends with Ryan Gosling, another one of my favorite guys. 😉 Even though he is almost a decade younger than me. Ye gods!… But yeah, soulDecision. I hope their CD comes out SOON! I miss them…

And I’m just a little tipsy. I’ve had a couple of 7 UP/vodka drinks and something called Hypnotiq. I feel nice. I can’t believe I can actually type! 😀

Outside it’s cold, but it feels good when you’re just a little tipsy. Nice and utterly refreshing… So far the alarm has gone off because of the smoke machine operated by the DJ. ADT had to be called, but all is good… And what are we listening to?

Listening to “Gin and Juice” Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre

“The Boast”

[from tvtome.com’s JAG episode guide]

NOTE: Barry Zito is an actual Major League Baseball player with the Oakland Athletics.

William Gregory Lee plays the Marine who gets beaned. Awww! I can’t wait to see Zito and Greg on tv together. Woohoo! 😀

In all fairness, I think the person who wrote this doesn’t speak English as a first language. And my other clue was the reference to Days of Our Lives. Jensen is not on that soap anymore. 😉

I just want to say that Jensen Ackles fans are much more expressive than Ryan Gosling fans. Most of Ryan’s fans say “Oh my god, he’s so hot!!!” They don’t say much else. But Jensen’s fans declare so much more, especially his French fans. They like him a lot!

I do this b-cause it´fun, and i know that “THE SEXY BOY” (Jensen Ackles) is not gonna get this. but when i get fameous I will rock his worl hehehe.

Maybe Me and him could do a very hot movie some day.

I have a bothering friend she is very evil and she makes up things who isn´t true.

i realy have a fun life you can visit me some time if you want 2 😀

And there is also a boy but i don’t want him b-cause he talks 2 much, so my friend helps me 2 get away from him (he is a pervers miniac).

I have 2 go now, because I have 2 do my homework (I am nott a nerd!!!) see yaaa “I THE DAYS OF OUR LIFES” BIG HUG, chao

P.S. If you wonder why i write all this is because i’m bored.

Shoot, and I must be bored to post it. 😛
