| Oops! Did I say a couple weeks? Two weeks.. two years, who's counting?
I was telling a friend of mine about my MUDing days and gave him a few recommendations on what to try out, which reminded me about my whole Xanga deal I had. So here I am, stopping in for a little update and to make the commenting rounds.
Looks like I'm not the only one who's lapsed in making daily entires 
The move went well, as far as I can remember. Blocked most of it out at this point, haha. Oh, and the only addition we've had to the family was a puppy, who happens to be quite large at this point. I finished my Master's program, and I have a new job in the recruitment office at CSUSM, so that's been exciting.
I'm still waiting for the day when I finally out-grow my video-game addiction, but I'm steadily losing hope. With the addition of the Wii in our house I've become a source of entertainment for my son, who also does his best to play along. Don't worry, I'm still beating him at most games.. for now.
That actually reminds me of a funny story. Shortly after we bought the system Aiden went into great detail describing and showing my mom how "mommy likes to play with her sticks" aka the Wii-mote. Unfortunately four year olds don't enunciate as efficiently as most of us, so it sounded like he was telling her, repeatedly, about how I like to play with a part of male anatomy.
What else has changed... Burning Crusade came out? Haha.
Oh, I know. Tyler has gone back to school to get into the IT field. We've taken a little hit in the income department for now, but I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, so glad that he's not a police officer anymore. It was way too stressful for both of us, probably more so for me than him. He's got a seasonal lifeguard position with the county parks department, so it's not a complete one-woman show when the bills come. Most importantly he's happier. The last few months since he made the decision have been the best in a long time.

| Not that I'm a staple of any internet circle, but I'll be out of the loop for a little while. Nothing bad...not at all, good in fact. We're moving.. finally..out of the city so to speak and up to San Marcos. This'll be our first house, we bought it... just very excited. I'll have to buy a digital camera to show it off, not that we're going to have any extra money...for a long time. Look up real estate prices in San Diego county for 2500 sq. ft. homes and you'll see why. It's ridiculous...really, but this is the world I live in.
This will mean a lot more room for us, a yard...which is going to be a nice luxury, especially for Aiden. And...maybe a little more room for additions to the family 
See you guys when I see you! (like.. a couple weeks)
EDIT: I will really have to get that camera, I forgot to mention I dyed my hair black...and cut it, and when I say cut, I mean CUT. | | |
| Ahhh...I just spent a ridiculous amount of money to have an argument with my best friend. Not just a disagreement, but one of those blown out of the water, "I'm never talking to you again" type of arguments...
See, I decided to call Kelly as a surprise - she's in France right now, and it's always a pain to make overseas calls, and a little pricey too - and I get her cell after a bit only to have a..gentleman pick up. I knew exactly who it was too, and he's just not a good guy for her at all. Without going into my half-a-lifetime of expirence and knowledge of this man, let me just tell you all; he's a dirt bag, no other way to spin it, he's just a really...un-good type of person. This man does drugs, treats people like shit, has gotten arrested before, but always gets bailed out. People would talk that he even hit his last couple love interests, or conquests.
I get him to put Kelly on and we proceed to chat for a little bit, avoiding the obvious question of why she's with a guy that she's been with before, who's treated her like shit, etc..etc... I cut to the chase, which then begins a two hour argument before she hung up on me.
I can't exactly do anything about it now though? I don't have the capability to up and jump on a plane to go talk with her in person. "Sorry family, I'm going to France!"
That's where I'm at...huge blow out with my best friend, and now we're out of milk...To hell with the milk, I'm going to mope and stare at my RSS headlines or MUD. | | |
| ...Anyone know if there's a law against killing siblings..? I think its okay, you know, I've got enough brothers... I can kill one that's younger and annoying and says dirty things... Or I could just break his other arm.
Schools out, but I had the opportunity to teach a distance education course with the college...and it's been an interesting experience. I feel sort of like..I'm doing half a job, but that's just how the whole system works. So, I check my box, grade papers, then turn the graded papers into the distance education office.
Actually, I feel a little guilty, because..I get to pack up my stuff, grab my laptop, coat Aiden in sunscreen, then head out to the beach and enjoy the waves and the June gloom...a guilty pleasure I'm allowed to indulge in...but if that induces jealousy..maybe the fact that it takes about thirty to fourty minutes to drive there through evil SoCal highways even though I can see the water from where I live.
Aiden's going to be an architech...very marvelous sand castle mounds he constructs when motivated..hmm...
That's it, see you in a month or sooners.. | | |
| Aiden's been sick for the last couple days. He has a fever now
and he can't keep the crap the doctor gave him down for more than five
minutes before throwing it up again. He just keeps telling me he
feels 'bad' and then I nearly start crying because...he's obviously
expecting me to do something, and all I do is make him drink pink crap
that he throws up later. So, mommy is going to go explain to the
doctor that the doctor needs to try again, or mommy is going to try
again with her choice of docotrs.
We go to the same doctor I saw while I was pregnant, and I just don't
really like him. Anyone who just comes out and says, "you're
getting to fat for just having one kid, Sandra" isn't going to be too
high on the people skills. Never had any trouble dropping all
that fatness though, actually, I didn't do anything, in a couple weeks
I was back to 119. If I'm going to be smaller than that, I'd better get
a referal to a plastic surgeon because I'll need to get what boobs I
have chopped off and a few ribs removed, maybe one kidney, hey you only
need one, right?
My mom recomended him, by the way. All makese sense too me.
