One of the few things I love about living in San Diego, that you won't get in the UK.. Going to see the Editors tonight!! It's at the House of Blues, so it's a smaller venu. Lets just hope this time I won't embaress myself. The last time I had seen them, Russell Leetch had pointed out that he "remembered" me. Is this a good thing or bad thing?

In other news, I broke down yesterday- and had shared a slice of cheesecake, from the Cheesecake Factory..as I was under stress..which is something I rarely ever, ever do! This why I am posting so early on (going to head out for a run)

A friend of mine went "Single White Female" on me yesterday. As in, calling every 3 min in the full hour I was out.. knocking on my windows and peeking through my blinds. I then turned to say via phone call after I had found out by my groundsman "WTF!?! Are you trying to sell me the Holy Bible?!"

I was working out, my phone was switched off, I got all your texts and missed calls etc etc. See Live Journal friends, we had made plans to get tea, I had texted her to confirm and she never got back to me.. SO I made plans for myself. And she just popped round mine anyway without saying if we are still meeting up let alone to tell me she was on her way over. I mean what if I was having crazy loud phone sex with my man?

My groundsman had nearly called security on her. Yeah, crazy! But am over being thoughtful and nice all the time as it has gotten me nowhere.

Now I must work off that cheesecake slice!

Watch me!

I've been going to yoga 7 days a week and thus far have walked/jogged 50 miles in one week.. lost 6 pounds in one week..

I'm so very proud of myself!

Did this all on my own; with no aid; just my legs :)

Think part of my motivation was on meeting a woman off the street who was 350 Pounds and is now 190 Pounds.. She told me her story, showed me her old photo of herself at 350.. And she just looks fantastic.

Keep pressing Mi Linda!

OH and if anyone wants to join me for bootcamp on Tuesday 5:30-6:30PM in Del Cerro (SDSU area); please get in touch!

LADIES!!! So, I bought these Always Infinity pads to try em out cuz they're supposed to be the shit and I don't care for them at all. I used like 2 of them, the rest is in the box wasting space in my house.

Carefree THONG panti-liners, something a friend thought I could use... I don't like pads, so I'm going to forbid it in my house. Someone out there I'm sure needs some wonderful pads for those wonderful friendly days. Here they are! Come and get em!!! 858.442.****

I'm Standing Warm Against the Cold

And I don't have intentions to end it just yet. ((No, I won't say what "it' is ))

But I will; one day... maybe...as I am unsure where "it" may land..

A collection of events does change the way you see the world and the way you see yourself. For I am left in a position that I never had thought of myself being in-- ever.

The one thing I have learned about myself, in this long adventure of self discovery is that I like to keep moving, as do most, and some people prefer to freefall into the unknown, or nothing at all..

As this new year has started, I'm feeling my skin shed, leaving all my burdens in the past. And I find myself feeling more open, feeling more liberated, and am more accepting (and loving) of who I am and I catch myself smiling a bit more, laughing a bit more... I'm also not as afraid to speak my mind or to say "No" as I had in the past..

I have gone slightly mad and have given a large amount of my possessions away. But it's an amazing feeling.. it was something much needed doing..

Living in the NOW generation is something I want no part of ; where people want the latest now, they want their happiness now, they want the quick fix.. People need to realize to get that happy ending; you have to go out and work for it, make it happen. Whatever your "IT" may be. But with most , it will never register and they will never grow up.

I really should get some sleep, I've been on UK bodyclock for a week now. Ugh..

Two goals from last year, accomplished this year..((so far))

No idea why people need to list what they have gotten for Christmas as gifts...

I mean really?? We're not eight anymore..

Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate should not be a show and tell; but it should be time spent with loved ones...Not about how much money you spent, what you were given or how much was given..

Hope everyone spent their day the way they felt fit right.

Love you all ..

We are on the move! It's been an awesome 2 years in the Scripps Ranch condo. But change is needed...

Lease is signed, keys are in hand, Official move in date will be the 29th of this month. We have already (Craig) started to settle into the new apartment ((with loads of guest parking space--lower floor unit)).. This is a temporary move, month-to-month, til' we are able to find a place of our own in San Diego or elsewhere.

The apartment is located in Mission Valley across from Fashist Valley Mall..

Of course many folks returning to San Diego as I look to leave again, pretty standard. Looking to return back to the UK to visit family and friends, then catch a cheap random flight and or flights in April, I haven't decided if I want to stay 2 weeks or 6 months.....I'll keep you posted!

****I have already posted this on Facebook- BUT since not all have an Facebook account.. I thought I would post why I've been silent on Livejournal..****

Myself and my battle scar are still in recovery, but am healing nicely and am able to walk (slowly) on my own... Those who did not know, I had gone into ER last month and an emergency surgery was ordered for the following morning.

My family was all there by my side, my close friend Lisa Silva was there to give me the ins soothing away any worry on the drugs that I was going to be given. I nod off with bright overhead lights and Baba O'Riley (the Who) playing in the background...waking up pissed off cos' the nurse stood beside me, chomping away at my ice chips, which I wasn't allowed to have...

An inflamed gallbladder the size of a grapefruit (gallbladders are suppose to be walnut sized) pushing onto my intestine (attaching it's self), rock hard shell of a growth covering part of my intestine and gallbladder .... What would have taken an hour to sort out, turned into 4 hours.. I was released on the 25th (Nov) then re-admitted that night for the pain medication I was put on didn't agree with me.. I had all the side effects listed at the same time.. I had stopped breathing that night at my parents home on the sofa and my father had called 911.. Was sorted by the men in the little red truck...then discharged from hospital once more..

That night I decided to bite the bullet & I haven't touched any pain medication since..

Only just few days ago, I am able to sit on my own and walk... There's still a bit of numbness round the incesion, but am getting there..One thing I am certain of is that I don't want any surgery, unless it's needed.. There are far too many risks, and

is it really worth it if things did go wrong??

Which is why I must take better care of myself, I'm not talking about just weight here. .. It's going to take a lot of time and patience-- that I thankfully have.. I know that I will never be a size 5 and be flawless, but who really is?? From here on out, I plan on making the healthier choice in foods, to try and keep active and try to maintain this each day..in addition...I really need to sleep when I'm tired, to drink more water, to not stress out as much as I do over the smallest things... to even say no at times, and not yes-- and to take more time out for myself..

After what I had gone through-- I'm just thankful that I have my family and I have my health back..That right there is what means the most to me--

No news is good news I suppose.

Still looking for a home to buy; I found one place, the square footage is sweet- BUT BUT; it's got to be gutted... Floors, counters, the vanity etc; it's a three bedroom townhome-- small back yard etc..

But man it's in Mira Mesa; Those who are local; know what Mira Mesa is all about-- But lets forget about that for a moment..The cool part is that it's close to the bus stop, cinema, shops, freeways, my parents etc..

I don't know... San Diego is always changing. I grew up in Mira Mesa and as little as 30 years time; it's like night and day. Part of me wants to stay close enough to my parents and another part wants to move to a new city.

I do know that when we do find our place, I'm opting to try our best to have a green home..

Health related news, my gallstones have been acting up; I have been reduced to eating like a rabbit for nearly a week. Last Thursday-Saturday I had some mean flare ups.. so til I am able to get surgery, It's fruit and lettuce for me. Yay!

Dear Husband,

I appreciate you getting out there, busting your balls to provide for our family. But please, please, please take a shower before sitting down on the sofa...

...

Does anyone know how to get the smell of ASS out from the sofa cusion? It's when he sits down I can smell the odor gust up into the air.. from the cushion.. I used Febreze... It didn't work... I placed the cushion outside to air out, that didn't work.. It's like an ass-fort on his end of the sofa!!!!

Total fail!! The Pumpkin Spice Latte isn't as enjoyable as it was last year.. Has it always been this sweet?

It's disgusting... Tastes like a pound of sugar and powdered pumpkin spice flavoring in hot water..
