Maui...here we come!

For a while now, I've been telling people that I need a vacation. More than anything, I'm in need of a vacation from work. I think I've complained about it before. My coworkers now are a bit on the dry side. I have only 1 buddy who can make me laugh out loud. He's someone who I can talk to about anything and everything. Yet there's another person who I just want to strangle. I've never disliked anyone before in a work environment. Sure, there's people that are annoying and that irritate you on occasion. But I've never said I really disliked like someone before. Unfortunately, he's someone I have to share an office with. He's just the most rigid, opinionated, stuffy, boring blow-hard that I've ever met. I'm at a point now that I no longer want talk to this person. I'm sure he knows I don't like him. And I don't really care anymore. There was a time when I just wanted to pack all of my things and move to the office across the hall. I'm sure I'll want to do this again. But now, I'm coping. I've come to terms with the fact that I don't need to talk to this person. If I want to have a conversation with someone normal and sane, I can leave the room and find people else where. I'm fine with that now. So, going back to taking a vacation. I was at work one day and I thought, the hell with it let's plan a vacation now. We were thinking of taking a vacation sometime in September or after the new year. But f*#$ it! Now that there's a new addition coming in the near future, we should do that before we're bogged down with new responsibilities. So, yes!! I've booked a trip to Maui and we're going in mid-June. I'm really excited!
Ahhhh...relaxing, laying out, and sipping my virgin Pina Colada....

So...tired...

I am sooooo tired. Lately, I've been plotting and dreaming about when I can take my next nap. I plan out my day so that I can find someplace to nap. I drove to my Mom's after work today so I can nap. I'm thinking about tomorrow. During my lunch break, I'm going to drive to the beach to.....guess what? Nap.

What the???

Have you ever known of anyone who acts too overly sweet and lovey-dovey towards someone and says things like, "Oh, you're sooooo wonderful" and "I'm sooooo glad that your my friend" and "You're soooooo caring" and so forth and so on that it seems completely and utterly fake? I'm sorry, but, ugghhh, that makes me sick. I almost threw up on myself. As a matter of fact, I think I did! HAHA People, keep it real. Just keep it real, please.

A Day in the Snow

So we headed off to the mountains on Saturday morning. It's amazing how you can drive just an hour away and the weather can change so drastically. I love California. One minute it's raining, another minute it's sunny and warm, and then another minute it's snowing. We drove to Snow Valley to do some sledding. Being very much a novice in both skiing and snowboarding, I thought it would be more fun for all of us to just go out and play in the snow and not have to worry about broken bones and torn ligaments.

We were very lucky that it wasn't too crowded. We were even more lucky to see snow coming down. I've been to the mountains a few times but I've never seen the real stuff coming down before. It made us all giddy!



And then it was off to do some extreme sledding.




I tried to make a snow angel and we even got into a snowball fight.



It was a good day! Thanks for coming with me!
