I found this set of questions on a blog and decided to borrow it since I haven't posted in some time.
I'm actually not as tech/blog savvy as most of the bloggers I follow so I'm afraid my posts are actually just boring, plain text. I'll try to incorporate pics in the future but for now...
1. How many piercing's do you have?
Just the standard 2, (one in each ear obvs) its been that way since I was a baby but I hardly ever wear earrings
2. I love the sound of.....?
I ADORE the sound of my dog walking around our tile floor, she also sounds super cute on wood floors.
3. Favorite city?
wow I dunno San Francisco is pretty great
4. Colts, Saints, or could care less?
I guess this list is kind of old but I didn't care
5. Frozen yogurt or ice cream?
Ice cream (but I can't have any until Easter)
6. Favorite appetizer?
This is also hard to narrow down, I like calamari (when done right) and bruschetta
7. What item in your closet currently makes you the happiest?
My Bass tote bag b/c if I'm using it, that means I'm going away probably to visit BF
8.Favorite facial moisturizer?
hmm Cetaphil b/c its so simple and non-irritating, but I'm exploring more antiaging options now that I am *gasp* 28

Not so Hot
Some background on me: I'm 28 and have a decent job, but this is not where I saw myself when I graduated college. I expected bigger and better for myself.
Hence, I am taking graduate business courses. Business is not exactly my cup of tea but I'm doing it to make myself more marketable.
I started off working toward a Business Management Certificate which consists of 7 courses. So far I've taken 5 including Management, CIS, Marketing, Statistics and Econ. I wanted to try this out first and decide whether or not to pursue and MBA. The verdict, highly unlikely. I've done well enough so far but I'm just not into it.
Now, on to the not so hot part of the post:
This quarter I'm taking Finance. Yesterday we had a quiz and I didn't do so well. I often get discouraged and think that taking these courses will do me no good and I'll be stuck as an assistant forever. The BF usually makes me feel better and just tells me to be patient and what not. I know that in this economy and particularly in super competitive Los Angeles I am lucky to even have a job. My job is good and I do acknowledge that but like I said, I want bigger and better.
Therefore I will try to do much better on next week's midterm. Wish me luck blogosphere... thx!

Pledge to Read
In my random blog browsing I came accross this button that I have now added to my own blog. I wholeheartedly support this sentiment and would encourage others to do the same. I abvolutely LOVE to read!
Mostly I'm a fiction girl, but ocassionaly there is a non-fiction book that is good enough to keep my attention and also of course there are magazines & newspapers for keeping current. I used to work at a library and my favorite task would be processing new books into the collection in part because I love the smell of new books. On my first date with the BF he actually schockingly (to me at the time b/c I wouldn't expect any guy to and also to anyone who knows him)agreed to accompany me to a book signing. I love receiving and giving books as gifts, especially to babies/kids. Also, I love chatting with fellow book lovers about stuff we each have read getting and giving recommendations. So on that note I will recommend a book in case anyone ever reads this blog.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is a short, and I think highly relatable story. I think anyone from say middle school onward can appreciate the simplicity of this inspirational tale.
Since reading The Alchemist I have read several other works by this author and while I have enjoyed all, I do believe this is his best.

Just my luck
Annoyance: Angelenos are pretty spoiled when it comes to weather. This week has brought some crazy storms. For a long time now I had thought about buying rain boots but figured it would be a waste.
Well today I have class. I have taken only online classes this past year and it just figures that the quarter I decide to go on campus coincides with the worst storm in recent history. Fingers crossed that a tornado doesn't hit right when I'm walking from the car to class.
Actually rain isn't so bad. I consider it cuddle weather. My cuddle buddy (BF) is out of town :(

Hello e-World!
I LOVE BLOGS! I read blogs all the time and occassionaly comment on them but had always considered myself too private/reserved to actually write a blog myself.
Well I'm giving it a shot. I figure I'll post a little and see how it goes.
I want to be able to vent a little to people I don't know and who won't judge. Well some of you may judge but that's OK since we don't actually know each other. And if you don't like the blog, just don't read it, easy peasy. The internet is great isn't it?
I'll just randomly share what I find amusing and also what annoys me. LOTS of stuff annoys me.
But also lots of stuff makes me happy, I have a great-ish family & BF, an awesometastic pup, and I'm relatively healthy and need to remember that I have lots to be thankful for and pleased with in life, so not all my posts will be about annoyances, (let's hope). So.... hello blogosphere, I have officially joined.
