Back to Reality
Hello kids, I'm back from my vacation in Palm Springs. This was the one we were originally going to take in April. The heat didn't get really bad until the day we left; we were really lucky. I had a FABOO time swimming, getting a massage, going in the 'mineral waters' at the spa, losing about $25 at the casino on slots (damn machines wouldn't give me ANYTHING) and going off my diet and eating too much. Oh well.
I'm back and going to Curves later and back to eating so I will lose weight.
Oh something huge and horrible - a rock or brick flew up at my car on the freeway and just shattered the passenger side of my windshield. THANK GOD I was alone, it didn't penetrate the windshield or hit my side because I would've freaked even more than I did. But the Glass Doctor (I swear that's their name) came to my apt. today and gave me a new windshield for $270. Not bad. So now I have a nice new CLEAR windshield. My other one was a bit beat up as the car is going on 11 years old. I love my car and hope to push it to 200,000 miles. I'm at 142,000 now.
Nothing much else new. I was about to go down for my massage in Palm Springs when I read on Twitter about Michael Jackson. Oddly, I don't feel much about his death. I actually feel kind of bad about that. I just wasn't a fan; although there's no denying he was incredibly gifted. I think he was a very mixed up, sad soul. I feel bad for his kids and family.
I am putting more resumes out; I'm definitely NOT working this summer. I get my last paycheck this Friday. Something's got to give at some point, I swear.
I really don't have much more to say. Seriously, back to reality. I did bills earlier, mailed them, went to the market and am glad it's only 86 degrees here. I'm going to make an appointment to get my eyebrows waxed. I'm telling you, it's really and truly exciting in my life!

glad you had a nice vacation. weird about that brick tho. lucky you weren't hurt.
I forgot you were going to Palm Springs... I was beginning to worry about you! tsk tsk... I'm such a freaking mother hen ~ anyway, I'm so glad you had a great time, god knows you deserve it. Yes freaky and damn scary about the brick - WTF?!? Makes one realize how vulnerable we are to god knows what out there.
I just had a flash. With your art history background, could you work in a museum? What if you were the education person and took (those screaming criminal maniacs) through the museum and taught them about art? Probably a bad idea ~
ha ha - word ver for today is oventic. New drug for hot flashes?
happy to hear you had a good time in palm springs. it ended too soon, huh? i was thinking of going back home to new orleans towards the end of the summer, but i'm not sure if that will pan out or not. that will be about the time i start my externship for school, and i don't want to have to do the trip over a short weekend.
good on ya for keeping up curves. i'm dieting right now, too. i've only been on it for 3 days, so i have yet to see results. why does it take so long for the body to adjust, dammit!! it would be nice if you could see results immediately.
thank God you weren't hurt when the rock/brick hit your windshield. sandy's right~~you never know what lurks out there, especially on the road.
about michael jackson~~i'm tired of hearing about him. he's all over the tv and radio. i liked some of his music, but i wasn't really a fan, either. i just wish they would lay him to rest and move on.
we've had a few cool days here, too. that is, if you consider 90 cool. ;)
