I Want Your Vertigo Shtick

I’m sitting in my recliner, watching a bunch of Lady Gaga music videos on Fuse. There doesn’t seem to be much else on that appeals to me. I had recorded the last hour or so of Happy Feet on the DVR but it apparently only wanted to record a random chunk of 10 minutes towards the beginning of the movie (I didn’t change the channel so it technically should’ve recorded the whole thing through the end). That pissed me off.

It’s father’s day and I’m so thankful and lucky to have the dad I have. He’s amazing. My cousin brought tears to my eyes last night, though, mentioning our grandfather who passed away in October two years ago. I miss him a LOT.

Lately I’ve been really wanting to take advantage of the work out room next to the pool in my apartment complex. At least, I’d love to walk on the treadmill or something for an hour a day to get started. I want to get rid of this stomach and smooth things out.

You know what I hate? When watching TV or doing anything else and it inspires a craving. Watching a random reality show, they were picking from a large platter of nachos and GOD I wanted them immediately. It’s easy to trigger a craving in me when I’m hungry, too. The closest thing I could do related to nachos is heat up some refried beans and maybe make a quesadilla with cheddar cheese and some leftover Taco Bell sauce. I’m not sure if I want to go through the effort though lol.

Tomorrow I’ll be going to my company’s picnic for our region’s associates. It’s about two hours away and I’m eager to enjoy all the free food (gosh, I’m sound like such a glutton!) and see my BFF and hopefully some of my old coworkers. The husband’s coming with – hopefully he enjoys himself at least a little bit.

Let's Cause Trouble, Shall We?

There’s a difference between carrying on and not caring what people think, and just being outright rude, offensive and destructive.

Right now, Angelinos are currently rioting at some level since the Lakers won the Finals. They’re breaking out in fights, causing fires, and whatever else they can do to embarrass Los Angeles as a whole. It’s not surprising, either, and that’s sad! Fans will riot, win or lose, if the Lakers are in the finals. I don’t see it with any other sport we have a team for; then again we don’t have a team that is especially talented and consistently gets into the finals of any championship other than the Lakers.

It doesn’t help that most folks are drunk off their asses and with even the most sane people, that’ll decrease any filter and control one might have. I know I can get pretty darn obnoxious when I drink too much. I’m not sure how rude or offensive I get, but I know others who do. My husband, for instance.

You know when people talk about who’s a “happy drunk”, “sad drunk” or “angry drunk”? The husband is definitely an angry drunk and even if I’m drunk, I’ll end up having to calm or quiet him down to keep him from doing something stupid and getting beat up. Anybody who’s been out drinking with him knows. Luckily, if we’re out drinking together, he lets me drink and he doesn’t end up drinking enough to get that way. It takes quite a bit, actually. I guess that’s the positive thing about having a high alcohol tolerance :P

I don’t enjoy being around people who don’t care about being rude and offensive for the sake of it; the kind of behavior that causes fights and too much negative attention directed in their direction. It’s unnecessary and if it’s somebody I know, it’s embarrassing and highly uncomfortable.

On a positive note, I enjoyed a nice sushi dinner with the husband and had my first jalapeno popper. It wasn’t too spicy and very delicious! Work was also better today.

PS: Family Guy is hilarious! *lol*

GTFO My Back, Please

I had one of those work days where I just wanted to work and I was made to feel inept for most of the day. It sucked. I may not be perfect all of the time, but I’m capable and if you give me a fricken minute, I’ll have everything going as you wish. It didn’t help that I’m hormonal lately.

After telling the husband about my day, he said I wouldn’t make it as an air traffic controller since they’re so big on ragging on people for no good reason. Whatever.

I allow myself to get ragged on a lot. I make dumb comments and can be naive and shit, but I don’t like it happening all the fricken time by anyone and everyone around me! I need a little positive reinforcement once in a while. That’s not to say I’ll break down crying or start telling people off when I get overloaded. The most I may do is give off the “I’m not happy” feeling and be short with responses. I shouldn’t forget to mention that I don’t stay in bad moods for very long! Just leave me alone for a few minutes, let me do my thing and all will be forgotten.

I don’t consider myself as somebody who hold grudges. I’ve held a few, and only recently in life. It’s such a time and energy waster! I’ve definitely learned that and even more so now, I don’t understand why people hold grudges or get so angry over things that don’t seem major (at least to me). Some may consider me sensitive sometimes, but it might be a mismatch of how I’m viewed versus how I view myself.

Overall, I think of myself as a fairly resilient person who doesn’t let a lot get to her often. However, I don’t like being made a fool of or being made fun of – because, really, who does? I protect myself by preempting any strikes by making fun of myself and deliberately making myself the butt of jokes or allowing certain people to make those jabs at me. It still hurts sometimes, though.

I don’t think I’ll be changing things – generally I’m happy how I am. There’s always improvement to be made and that’s what the rest of my life is for ;)

So These Are Your Work Friends!

I finally met some of my husband’s coworkers. Mostly, they were the younger crowd since the event we attended was for the younger crowd of the union he belongs to through work. It was a barbecue to have coworkers and their families meet and mingle. It was held at the house of one of the union guys and, well, I should say his place was a compound. It was about 45 minutes out from where we live, in the boonies and up in the mountains, but he had 3 horses, a two story house, a detached garage, a LONG ass driveway, a mini-orchard with lemon & orange trees and plenty of room for an add-on for his mother-in-law and a barn that he said he’s working on getting soon. *uhh* It was pretty amazing. Not to mention, the “man cave” that took up the lower level of his house. The sports memorabilia he has in there is beyond wow, even if he is a Giants/49ers fan ;)

After meeting a bunch of his coworkers, we left and joined a couple at a microbrewery right on the beach in Pacific Beach (PB for short). It actually didn’t take us long to find parking, surprisingly, AND we didn’t have to pay for it either! We partook in the all-you-can-eat crab legs while watching the Lakers kick some Boston ass.

Truth be told, I’m not a basketball fan. Other than the amusement I get out of the injuries sustained from overly-rough fouls and such, I’m just not that interested. I’d rather watch baseball. Speaking of which, the Dodgers kicked Cincinati ass, as well! 12 to nothing! Too bad San Diego won as well so we’re still half a game down from first place :/

The husband drank quite a bit of beer, and while he got loud and kind of obnoxious during the end of the Laker game, he was behaving. I had a lot of fun finally socializing out here in SD and meeting new people. I hope I’ll be able to hang out with some of them in the near future :)

Although, I will need to get some new friends of my own, as well! Hmm… Time for bed, now… I have work in the morning. I need to make some money after dinner tonight *wha*
