HapPy NeW YeaR!!Lots of happiness in my world right now! The Professor and I are still going strong. He rocks my world - seriously, upside down rockin'! In so many ways we are different, but we are the same in others. We're still learning about each other and about the kind of relationship we both agreed to embark on; one built on traditional roles - he's Tarzan, I'm Jane :) Oh of course it

My favorite time of year is right around the corner! I can't wait for the crisp coolness of autumn and its wonderful fresh scents that fill my senses as summer fades in the background and winter gets ready to make its appearance. This is the time when my soul renews itself and gears up for another year.Rawrrr!Currently things in my corner of the Uni-verse are going well. After almost an entire

The end of summer is fast approaching and a lot has happened since my last post. Remember my last post about the guy that has an 8 year old daughter? I shall call him the Professor. Well, we're still seeing each other; things are moving along nicely. We still haven't met one another's daughters, which I expect will happen sometime soon. However, this Saturday I will be meeting his bestfriend

A few things have happened since my last post. I have been back at the gym for awhile now and I’ve even lost some weight :-) I am no longer seeing the man that I wrote about in my last post. Things fell apart. We parted as friends, but really, it was more like a friendly parting. At times I find myself feeling wistful, but I realize that I need to move on and stop dwelling on the

Well for the past couple of months or so, I have been dating. Yes, for those out there that know me, you can stop the pretense act of fainting (dweebs!). I'm dating because I have decided to take action and go after what I want - a long term committed relationship. Someone that I can share my life with wholly and completely. You know how it goes; all those wonderful things that make being a

The day after Christmas my daughter (Mari), mom, and me went to my daughter's and her partner's home so that Mari could feed their dogs and cats. Their front door lock was broken so Mari had to climb over the fence to get to the back door. This was no easy feat. And me, well I didn't even try because I had a big sore on my leg and there was no way I was going to climb over a fence. After

There are a lot of times that I have these deep thoughts that seem to sear me straight to the heart. I look back on my life and I can't help but think it is true; as I get older, what was once important to me is now nothing but a shadow. It's the simple things in my life that make me smile and give me contentment. I still experience heartache because I'm a mom, daughter, sister, aunt, and

Hi there - I thought I'd share a recent picture of my nephew, Johnny.

How are things with everyone? Good I hope. Good news - my sabbatical is less than three weeks away! I'm so looking forward to not having to go to work for two months (with pay)!I've been busy with my nephew Johnny and with my new furry kid Toula. Last weekend mom, my brother, his wife, Johnny, and I went to the State Fair. We had a really good time. Toula is such a wonderful little sweetie;

I was in Salinas this weekend meeting my nephew Johnny for the first time. I'm smitten; I'm in deep smit. I'm not sure he is a Teddy Wong to me any more. I'm still pondering a nickname for the little guy ;-)Introducing my Nephew John Masaru-xo

My brother and his wife had their first baby. Little John Masaru was born June 16th coming into this world early (due date: July 2nd) at 6 lbs and 20 inches. He has been named after Jennifer's dad and our dad. I've already nicknamed him Teddy Wong. Love handles is what my family specializes in the most. I haven't met my new nephew yet, but even before he was born I already knew he would be

Not much goin' on over here except the kid and I went and saw the Broadway version of The Phantom of the Opera here in Sac Town! I couldn't get over how brilliant the costumes were; so bright and colorful. And the sets were out of this world; the designs were so very lavish and clever. The cast was phenomenal!Before we went to the opera, we went out to Zocalo's for dinner, which was delicious.

My kid and her friend Brook were over tonight for dinner. I fixed fried chicken and some steaks, steamed rice and corn. I finished reading A Field of Darkness by Cornelia Read. It is her first published novel; a mystery. I would recommend the book if you enjoy reading mystery. It was a little slow at first, but picks up. I have to head into work this Sunday (yay).Yeah right.Even thought my

If B Donka Donk means a female with a kickin' booty, mine would be called a B Donka BOnK! Ha.Yeah I need to really start getting into healthy habits again. I've been away too long from that road and it's showin' big time. Although there are some things that I have accepted about my bod - like for instance when I take off my bra, I give my toes a thrill (if ya know what I mean). But I must

Jodi had her baby yesterday! David came into the world weighing in at 8lbs, 7oz and 20 inches long :-)Busier than heck at work, but enjoyed myself at our team building event; went on a river cruise and had dinner afterwards. Eyes are healing.So far no jury duty; just on call.I'm doing some research on picking a place to visit during my sabbatical. Mom and I are planning on going somewhere

Tonight I went out to dinner with my cousins Jane, Sance, and Jodi. Jodi is pregnant and we're all waiting for her to have the baby - she's like takin' forever. I mean the babes was due 4/23. Sance flies back home on 4/30 and she's thinkin' the baby will be born after she leaves. Well here's what I'm thinkin'....We ate Chinese food so maybe that will induce labor. Ha. Hey it's possible.

I love purses or handbags as they are more commonly known today. My favortite kind have always been over-sized purses. I have been known to spend up to $400 for one purse. I love to shop for purses at Nordstroms.However, as I get older I find that my taste in purses are not as expensive, although I will not buy a cheap purse. I just bought a purse for about $70 and it's a small one. I

Last Friday I went to a specialist of the cornea that my opthamologist referred me to and it would seem that my eyes need a break from wearing contact lens for about 2 months (maybe more). The ulcer on my right eye is healing, but my corneas have some wear and tear on them from wearing contact lenses too much.So now I am wearing my glasses full time and I can't wear makeup until my ulcer heals

I went to the eye doctor today and she referred me to a specialist because the ulcer on my eye isn't healing fast enough so she wants a second opinion. So tomorrow I have an appointment to see an eye specialist (cornea). I am a little nervous about the whole thing, not knowing what the diagnosis will be.House Update: I did not get the last house I put a bid on; too many bids and with my

...or so the saying goes. I bid on my third house today. Cosmetically it needs a lot of work and a couple of other fix-it stuff, but I can do it. I have family that is willing to help me :-) But I am thinking do I really want this house? I am a little nervous about it. With my budget the only houses that I can afford are those that need fixing so I have to stop being so darned picky;

Lost the house that I bidded on, but will be going out tomorrow during my lunch hour to look at a couple more. This house hunting stuff is becoming a pain. That is the 2nd house that I bidded on. My cousin said don't get discouraged; your house is out there. But where it is?Been feeling blue today about G - I know why. I did something dumb. I sent my friends an e-mail letting them all know

Looked at a few houses today and found one that I liked so I'll be submitting an offer. I hope I get the house. It's just perfect for me and my kitties.I had a nice visit with mom. We talked about all kinds of things today. I really enjoyed my visit.I'm really tired today because I didn't sleep that well last night. Spatz has this bad habit of waking me up at around 5:30 in the morning ;o)

It is going to be about 80 degrees today and I will be headed to the local park to attend my cousin's baby shower. I'm looking forward to it. I will be taking Fatbird with me :-)Yesterday I went to see Laura and we had a good session. I felt lots better afterwawrds. Then I went to Nia and got my hair cut. I feel great!The house hunting is still underway, but I must tell you it's a tad
