Rudeness.

I just about lost it today.

I seriously cannot stand my co-worker who talks over everyone and anyone! I think it is EXTREMELY rude!!  It's one of my biggest pet peeves!!! It's just so effin frustrating when you're trying to say something, and she'll just start talking over you like you weren't even saying anything at all!!  

Today I had it and I desperately wanted to say something to her but I didn't want to look like a douche in front of the general manager---who she also talks over!  GRRRR!!!!!!  I tried to get louder, but it just didn't matter, she continued talking louder and faster!  

I doubt that she's aware of this awful habit, but because of my position, I can't exactly say anything to her.  I just want to pour salt in my eyes than hear her voice for one more second today. 

Happy Birthday Liz!

Today is my best friend, Liz'a birthday.  

I was so lucky and blessed to live across from her for 30 years of our lives.  

I miss it.  It was like my home away from home, but yet, I could still see my home.  I miss being able to kick it with her all the time, and borrow each others movies, or go to Wal Mart together all the time.  

However, I'm grateful that we've had such a bond that even though we may not have seen each other for weeks or months, our friendship picks up right where it left off.  

I'm glad that I'll get to spend tonight with her and our other kinda/sorta best friend, Eidde.  He moved in next door when we were 9 and he was 5.  We took him in because, well because he wouldn't go away.  He'd follow us every where! He was kinda fun at first, but we thought he was too much of a baby.  Things haven't really changed much.... he still follows us around, and he's still a spoiled brat, but we love him too.  He completes our circle of friendship.  

I loved my childhood! It was everything I could have dreamt of, and more!  I owe it all to Liz............and Eidde, I guess. :) 

Yes, please!

 I wonder if I could walk down the aisle holding this? Everyone loves the smell of warm, fresh bread!

AWESOMENESS!!

Cousin Lela & Fam!

I really like this picture of some of my Australian/New Zealand relatives.  My seester, nephew, niece and I were lucky to spend the day with them, at Disneyland. My cousin Lela is to my left, in the black & white, while her daughter Anna is on my right and her son Timothy is next to my seester, on the end.  
It's always been a lil confusing that Lela's my cousin because of the age gap but it was so nice spending time with her family.  She and I had the opportunity to talk about a lot of my Dad's relatives back in the south Pacific.  She pulled out her iPad and showed me pics of her siblings, my cousins.  Out of 12 of her siblings, I've only met 3 of them.  It's been so wonderful getting to know more about them and most especially learn a little more about my paternal grandfather, Simione.  He died in 1963 and I never met my grandma Salote who passed in 1997.  She told me that Simione wasn't very tall, but very patient, kind and gentle and had a head full of white hair.  As for grandma Salote, she had a very strong personality and if you didn't listen, you'd get in a lot of trouble.  Have I mentioned that I was named after her? :) She lived to be 104 years old and didn't need any glasses or aid for her old age.  Such a feisty woman and I look forward to meeting her, and grandpa Simione, someday.
It's been such a beautiful blessing to know more and more about my Dad's family.  I hope to meet more of them someday soon!

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow!

Dude, tomorrow I'm going to Disneyland with my sister, Kalanster & Novee! I am friggin' stoked!!!  

Seriously, I LOOOOOOVE Disneyland!!!  We'll be meeting with more of my family that's in from Australia! I'm so dang elated!!  The only thing that would make it PERFECT would be if Levi was coming with us. He makes everything so much more fun!  Oh well....a Disneyland trip for later.

I'm just hoping that we do both parks (Disneyland & California Adventure) because I LOVE LOVE LOVE CarsLand!!!  I could ride Mater's Junkyard Jamboree about 100 times because it's just that fun!!!! AHHHHHH!!!! Just thinking about it all is making me SUPER EXCITED!!!  I hope we stay for the fireworks show, that's my favorite. Such sweet, sweet memories. ♥

Ok ok... I need to get back to work, or else someone's not going to Disneyland tomorrow.

Kid at heart!

A lil love realization.

How I know that my sweetheart loves me more than words can express....

-He didn't mention how many creme wafers & chocolates I consumed this weekend. (Damn "Shark Week")

-Nor did he mention how much TP I went through, in one day. 

-He tolerates my dang weeping, because someone can be SO emotional during that one special week.

-He forgives me for the absent minded things I say without thinking first. 

-He'll still be surprised when his Christmas gift arrives.

Man, I am luckier than I ever dreamed possible.  

Friggin' Facebook....

....sucked me in AGAIN!!! 

Why can't people communicate by OTHER means?!?  

What happened to regular ol' email? Or better yet---A PHONE!! 

I like hearing the inflection in a voice, the emotion behind a good story or just even a VOICE! 

GRRR....Stupid Facebook.
