Last night I got the last of the trim in the living room painted. And I got the last of my furniture out of my ma's garage. I had thought I was done, but apparently not. Tonight I have some more drawers and cupboards to contact paper. I swear this place has soooo much storage its almost silly. Closets and built in drawers and shelves and such every where- its cool but I fear it allows me to fill it all with shit. Oh well.

I have only been back to this job for 3 days now and its weird, I dont feel like I left. I dont know. I need to get some pics up on here from cali.

I was living up near Morrow Bay and San Luis Obisbo. NOTHING like the Sanfernando Valley I missed so much. And my dad has aged so much, and is in such poor health. Plus I was too far away from all my old friends to really re-connect with them. I dont know, it was nice there- just different than I had been expecting.

Other than when I went to the beach, it didnt really feel like California to me. I was out on a ranch about 30-45 min from a small town named Paso Robles. They had a Wal-mart... but not much else. Everything was ranchy. I felt like I was in Texas or something. I had to buy a cowboy hat to fit in better. Now I got all used to always haveing it on and now that I am back here in Mn everyone keeps looking at me funny. Not that I care- I look damn cute in a cowboy hat. My hair is short again and strawberry blonde so just the front pieces stick out under my hat and frame my face- I should take a pic, but alas, I have no digital cam anymore- its on my list.

My granny came out to see my progress on my place. She was impressed and told me I should have a show on hgtv. I just am very good at finding cheap solutions to ugly problems. But she looked in the fridge and freaked out. I have 3 bottles of beer, a half a bag of carrots and 4 tomatoes in there. Thats it. So this morning I stopped in before work for coffee and she had a bag of food ready for me. She doesnt get it.

Everyone keeps saying how good I am looking with all the weight loss, but then they cackle because I dont eat much- ummmm, ya, thats how ya do that sort of thing. Oh well. People are strange.. .. when your a stranger.... lallalal

I am feeling odd today. Cant really put my finger on it. Just in my own little world- even from myself. I feel like I just came off a weekend of chronic. Fear not, its been a month. I wont be going down that road again. Not good. Bad. And not to mention awefully expensive. But I did mention it... we have a lot of strange expressions dont we now. My eyes are sore. I make myself sick sometimes.
