Blue
Things like this make me happy, even when I have a not so happy day. Thanks John! :o)
Missing Rain
Wow, tonight was so peaceful. I really do miss Sonoma State at times. I was just reminded so much of my freshman year. I stood outside for a long time on the porch just enjoying the rain. I had a glass of Shinn wine (thanks John, no lable yet, not even available in the stores) and BD. If you know what that is... please email me at breathedreamfly@hotmail.com, I'm interested in your story, even if it's just a yes, I know, I would love to hear it. I was so close to frolicing in the rain, but I was wearing the pretty wool sweater Nikki bought me.
On another note, I have been seriously looking into taking a trip of some sort. I need to take some PTO before 2005. If you are interested in going abroad or even domestic, or just have a destination idea PLEASE let me know. I'm getting that travel itch.

Living
Huge question in life is what DOES matter? What do you LET yourself bother you? I'm a firm believer no one can make you feel less than you are if YOU don't let them. Period. Simple as that.
Words are a powerful thing. I know I am over the top at times, but I think I surround myself with those that can take it without getting an internal urge to scream and scratch and hit and bite.

Singin in the Rain
I love this weather! I love the rain, and the warm coats, and the hot coffee. My first year up at Sonoma was like this... way colder, but a lot like this. I have learned not to mind the rain. It is a better rain up there though I do have to say. I think it's because it is cleaner and people know how to drive in it. Also, the roads are better made for rain up there. It always seems to flood down here.
I loved rain at camp too... but not the rain that canceled program. Just the rain you could hear tapping on the windows and the rain that made the gorgeous skys. Man... now that I think about it... city rain kinda sucks, but I like it because it brings back enough warm and fuzzy memories.

Stood Up?
Well tonight was... interesting? So Heidi and I make plans to meet for dinner after her short meeting with the Keystoners. It started at 6pm and she was supposed to come back over to the office and we were going together. Well at 6:40pm, I finally turn everything off and clock out or I would have been locked in the office all night. I decide to sit in the parking lot and then got ADD. Then I go to Ralphs, walk around, almost bought a logic puzzle, but bough that new 7up Plus. (not my favorite) So that got dull and I moved to my car and sat in that parking lot for a while... time is crawling by. Got ADD again, and went to the parking lot by Outback and sat in my car once again. I called Heidi a few times, but I never got through. I didn't want to keep calling if she was in the meeting, but man, it was taking forever... so, I text her, twice. Nothing... so at like 8pm, I'm starting to feel like a total loser. So I finally leave a message on her cell saying how I might look pathetic if I keep waiting for her, so I'm going home.
Then it finally hits me... what if her phone died? Well, fortunately... if you want to say that... I dropped one of my work cell phones (yes I have 3, I'm THAT popular) under her seat and forgot it in her car. It was worth a shot, so I gave it a call. Unsuccessful. :o( But not less than 3 minutes later she called me back from it! Wah-la! It's magic... You'll have to read her side of the story tomorrow for the conclusion... I'm making her write it! We are such dorks!
Still up
Well I am still up and I'm not tired, probably has something to do with that 2.5 hour nap I took after dinner. It's not that I not tired, I feel really sick to my stomach too. But it just rained, and that gave me some peace. Maybe I should get one of those rainmaker thingys for my room. Anyone have one? Worth it?

Birfday
Thanks everyone for all your birthday wishes and happy thoughts. I think the best part of birthdays is just hearing from everyone on the same day. Oddly enough, those that live the furthest away were the ones to call me the most. :o) Love you everyone and thanks again. *HUGS*

Fortune Cookie
Went out to lunch at a Chinese resturant today with a huge group for Jennifer's last day. She and her hubby are expecting. I get this fortune...
"The rainbow's treasures will soon belong to you."
What crap, I already know what's in the pot of gold. I put in my years. I got all my rainbow treasures. Why couldn't I get one that said someone will magically come and clean my room and wash my car?

It's sad to say... but it's almost fun to floss... ok, hit me with the dork comments!

Indecision 2004
The two things you are not supposed to talk about at dinner parties... religion and politics. Well, I don't see soup and salad, so here goes the politics talk.
This morning I stopped at 7-11 to get a cup of coffee. Man, I think it might be my new starbucks. :o) We will have to see, but my coffee was super good. I know I will miss the iced drinks though. Anyway, tangent, sorry. I went to grab a cup, and this is what had to choose from...
I mean, dang, it's not even November and they want me to actually choose between these two? Seriously, my first reaction was to look for another cup that had nothing on it, but dammit, they were the only 20 oz cups to be seen. The next reaction was to see if the cup actually only had one candidate on it or if there was one with both. Dang, I know there are some of you who are going to kill me... i.e. Alex and Deanne who are going to move out of the country if Bush is elected, Robert who IS moving out of the country to join the peace corps because he needs to get away and thinks if Bush wins, well public health will go to crap, and then there's Whitney, Joanna, and Amanda who are think any breathing body is better than Bush. Then we have the Bush supporters... well I think, because they are a heck of a lot quieter than the Kill Bushers. I will actually leave them nameless at this moment. I don't want any finger pointing.
My point is... I bet you are all wondering which cup I ended up with... well I picked up the Kerry cup. Will I vote for the guy? No clue... carrying a cup around and voting are two totally different things. I didn't want the scrutiny of walking around with a Bush cup. Right now I don't have the need to pick a name out of a hat for president. That's what I feel like I'm doing. I don't want to have to vote for the lesser of the two evils, and I think that's a popular opinion too. Don't get me wrong, I want to vote, and I will vote. I just want to hear something supporting Kerry that doesn't have anything to do with Bush, and I want to hear something supporting Bush that doesn't have anything to do with the War. Is that too hard to ask?

Starring...
So a friend asked me this question and I thought it might be entertaining to answer. I know it's kind of dorky, but I'm answering it anyway and I challenge you all to do the same in my comment box!
"If Hollywood made a movie about you who would play you? What kind of genre would it be? What parts of your life would you include? Who in your life would you include in the movie and who would play them? How would it end?"
I would have to think that Jennifer Garner would play me. She can do the action adventure thing (Alias), the comedy thing (13 going on 30), and the sexy thing (Catch Me If You Can). She's got the girl next door look and doesn't come across dumb or slutty.
The genre would be... an adventure/comedy/romance? That's a hard one. Maybe something like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom or Romancing the Stone. Wait, both of those deal with dumb women scared of icky things. Man, how about... something like the Goonies! That would be tons of fun! A bunch a friends screwing around and getting rich in the end... ok, not really realistic since my parents aren't going to lose their house to some evil villain and I won't find a beaten mutated man locked to a chair. But hey, why not? How about this, it will be something you feel good when you walk away.
Parts of my life? I think it would be a total mix. I can split my life into sections, but oddly enough I don't think they all would blend well into a movie. So take back the mix thing. Let's include the last 3 years.
People... I would have one of those movies where there is a running plot, and every "extra" would be some sort of famous cameo! The whole time you watched the movie you would be waiting to see which famous person was going to be at the takeout window taking my order. As for people in my life... well, you all are way important to me, but Alex, you would be Matt Damon and there would have to be an appearance by Drew Barrymore and Julia Roberts. Oh, and my friend Beth, she would be Kim Cattrall because Beth's a ho and likes shoes.
The ending... hopefully it would surprise the hell out of everyone, but I know that's not too likely. I'm not a fan of change and decisions. I'm also a huge realist, so I know someone would give away the ending after opening night. No one would die and life would sorta keep going. Like how those movies end when you don't want them to and you just want to keep watching. Almost like you want them to be happy and follow them through kids and grandkids and death... well I hope you all want to be a part of my life that long, because I sure do want to stick around yours.
