Bad Day

So today was a pretty crazy day. I started my day thinking that it was going to be a good day. That all changed when the earthquake hit. FYI, I am pretty scared of earthquakes!!!! Anyway, at about 11:45am this morning I was in my co-worker - Debbie's office looking at something on her computer when it hit. She screamed and flew under her desk and I ran to the doorway. My other co-worker- Nicole was already under her desk and when the earthquake decided to keep going on I decided that I needed to get under a desk as well. Only problem is my desk is kind of far from where I was standing. So there I am.....I then drop to my knees and crawl over to Nicole's desk and squeeze in with her. Now I had expected it to stop shaking after a couple of seconds, but no, this thing went on for like a minute....seriously!!!! So then, after it stops, we go outside and I attempt to make some phone calls. My phone, and apparently everyone else's, was not working, so I could not get a hold of anyone. I found out that the earthquake was centered in Chino Hills, which made me nervous, but I eventually was able to call home and find out that everything was fine. The original report said that it was a 5.8. I did later find out that the magnitude was actually a 5.4 and the epicenter was actually in Diamond Bar, which explains why my office seemed to have more destruction than my house. Anyway, after we all got settled down from that, I get this phone call from my dad and he says "So have you heard that Kotchman has been traded?" What....no way!!!! "Yeah, check it out if you don't believe me." I then go to msn.com and find that Kotchman has indeed been traded to the Braves for Mark Texiera. Now for some of you this may seem unimportant, but I am a huge Angels fan and a huge Kotchman fan. This really annoys me. Sometimes I think that the Angels make really bad decisions. I would like to give them a piece of my mind. Maybe I will just boycott the them. UGH!!!!!! I HATE BAD DAYS!!!!!!

Happy 4th of July

I want to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July and thank the men and women who have fought for the freedoms that we sometimes take for granted. I am truly proud to be an American!!

Today I had a blast.....it started out with hanging out at the beach with the family:

Then, I went to the Angel game and saw an awesome fighter plane......it flew over at the close of the National Anthem:

Then my night ended with a "BANG" as the fireworks exploded into the air......and to make my night even better, the Angels won....what more could you ask for?

Overall, I had a fun day and again, am greatful that I am privilaged to live in this free country!
