Good Times

I am going to a 40th birthday party this Friday for a friend of my cousin Dene's. She is having a Bon Jovi Tribute Band play at the party and that seems pretty exciting. There is a nice looking bass player in the band and I am hoping that he will be there and you never know something might come out of it. The last time I saw them play I was with my ex Victor so I couldn't flirt with any one, but little did I know that he was flirting with girls at the same time we were going out.

Well I just got introduced to the lady that our main boss hired as an office assistant. Rehana has just come to the point that it is really happening and that Ophie is never coming back. I guess it must be hard for her because she feels like she is replacing Ophie. She also is worried that she won't be able to live up to expectations of the office. I told her that wouldn't be the case because she has done a great job since she got promoted in January to be Arlene's assistant and she hasn't had any problems. Well our office will never be the same without Ophie and it will be along time until we can move on and work like nothing has ever changed.

Well, I haven't said much to about my friend Mary. What can I say about her. She is an amazing lady and friend and I consider her like another friend. I am very lucky to have her as a friend. There are days I wouldn't know what to do if she wasn't in my life. Above is a picture of her and I at a Dodger Game.

Well I should really get going now. Until next time...

What A Weekend

This past weekend was a rough one for all of us that were touched by the beautiful lady that we all knew Ophie. It is so hard to believe that she is gone and will never be with us again. I had a big pair of shoes to fill with planning parties and so forth. I have my first party to do tomorrow and wednesday, so I hope it works out. I am pretty sure it will, I just hope that everyone else is okay with the food. At least it isn't the Pizza Cookery like we usually get for lunch whenever the company buys lunch for us.

Our main boss asked me about asking one lady that she met at the funeral. I honestly don't think it will work because of a couple of reasons. I was talking to our receptionist and she seems to think that it wouldn't work out either, but you know what I guess she will just have to learn the hard way won't she. I don't know, she might be good and it will work out, but I honestly don't think it will, so we will just have to wait and see.

All I know if it weren't for the great friends that I have, then I wouldn't be able to get through all of this as easily as I am right now. It will take some time, but eventually our office will be like it has never changed. Well I gotta go now. I gots lots to do for meetings tomorrow. Until next time...

Bad Week

What can I say about this week. It has been a hard week for all of us in the office. We all lost a true friend and co-worker due to a heart attack on Sunday. Ophie Cruz was a wonderful woman and we are never going to be able to replace her. I have know her family since before I started working for my company and now it is hard not to see her in her office with a big smile on her face and being able to go to her if I need a mother type advise. Don't get me wrong, I have an open door policy with my mom, but there were things I really couldn't discuss with her that easily and Ophie was someone that I could.

Besides that whole thing happening this week, we have had a pretty non exciting week. We are all just kind of not doing or saying much because we are in a little bit of shock. We have meetings starting Tuesday-Thursday of next week, so that will give us a chance to get our minds back on work stuff. We are going to have breakfast on Tuesday and then the company is buying everyone lunch on Wednesday in memory of Ophie. What can I say. I am going to have to fill some pretty big shoes when it comes to the party thing because now I am in charge of all of that stuff. I am hoping I can keep up to the expectations of the office. Well it is the end of the day, so I better go now. Until next time...

Busy Week

What can I say about this picture. This picture was 8 years in the making last year. I am just glad that all is now resolved and everyone knows the truth.

This week has been a rough one for me, but at least it is almost over. The new Harry Potter book comes out tonight. I can't wait. I have been waiting for the new one to come out for almost 2 years now. Now if I can only not have any car problems and I would be a lot happier.

Well I know this entry is short, but I must end it for this week. Until next time.

What A Week

What can I say. It has been one of those weeks and I am really glad it is over now. I sometimes feel like I take on too much in my life and never live the fullest.

I am going to a yoga class tomorrow for the first time since I took that one with my sister when she was here. I am going to really enjoy it and I look forward to doing it.

I am house sitting right now for the weekend and then I am going to be home for two nights and then away for another one. I get about a month break at home and then I am away for almost 3 weeks and then home again for one night and then away for another 3 weeks. It is all good because I have a couple of credit cards that I have maxed out so I can pay them off with these jobs that I am doing. Also, I can get some very needed car repairs like brakes, air conditioning service, and tires. It all costs money, but what can I do when I drive my car everyday.

Now it is time to go and get my nails done. I will write in again maybe on Sunday when I am done with this job since I don't have access to the internet at the location I am at now. Until next time...

I can't believe that it is happening again. Yesterday the Olympic committee announced that they have chosen London to host the 2012 Olympics. Well this morning I woke up to the news that London had 4 explosions and now they are saying it is a terriost attack. This is the first big attack since 9/11 but it just shows us that they are still out there and we have to just watch our backs.

I thought I would show a picture of my baby kitty Meechi. The one on the right is when we found him in our front yard with his eyes closed. The one next to it is about two months ago. He keeps me going every day because he gives me this cute little kitten eyes and I absolutely love them. He also does this baby kitty thing and how can I resist him crawling up on me in the middle of the night doing this.

He is going to be upset with me tonight through Sunday because I won't be there since I have a house sitting job. I am thinking about taking him to the house for the day on Saturday. In fact, I took him to that house almost a month after we got him because my parents were going to be out all day and I couldn't bring him with me. He was the entertainment for the party and the kids at the party loved him.

It has been a pretty busy day today and now I can actually relax a little bit because I have the report done that I needed to get done today. I just have to make one more copy and a couple of cover pages and I will be done with many thanks to Wah (sp?). What would I have done with her because I have almost quit a couple of times before she started to help me. I have been so busy that I haven't been able to write in this blog and I really enjoy doing this kind of stuff. I used to keep a diary when I was younger and now that I have a blog I can do it a heck of a lot easier.

I think the next thing I need to do is meet a guy that I can go out with and have a nice time. I think I just have to be patient and the right guy will come in time. When I least expect it also.

Well I should get back to work now, so I will see you next time I have a chance to do a blog entry.

It has been awhile since I have written in this blog. I have been really busy with work and other things going on in my life. Work finally gave me some help last week after I had a breakdown and lost it here at work. I have to show her how to do a couple of things, but at least I can take my lunch and do errands during the day instead of working straight through like I have been the last couple of months or so.

I had a very busy 4th of July weekend, but had a lot of fun over the weekend. I have a new house sitting client next week and I am pretty excited about that one. She has two beautiful cats and they really like me so that is a good sign. In fact one of them is really shy around people she doesn't know and before I left for the night, she was in my lap purring and Kim the owner, said she hasn't done that with her yet.

I think the best news I got was last night. I got into a minor fender bender back in March and I had to pay $400 towards the repairs. Well we got a check yesterday in the mail for $400 for reimbursement of the deductible which means they found it not to be my fault which is just awesome. I couldn't believe how lucky I was and now that won't be points against my record especially since I had one that was all my fault for sure I little less than a year before this one. I was a little worried that they were going to cancel my policy, well I don't think they can since they found this one not to be my fault.

Well I should get going now. I will update you as soon as I can. Until next time.
