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!

Funny Movie

This is the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. I went to go see it yesterday thinking it was just going to be another somewhat funny movie that is really enjoyable, but not hysterical. Well...I was seriously wrong. This movie had me laughing out loud in more than one place. Now you may think "so what..I laugh out loud all the time" but I don't. Normally, even if I think a movie is funny, I don't really laugh out loud, but this movie was hysterical. Steve Carell is HILARIOUS!! Go see this movie....you won't be sorry!

Thunder, Lightning, and Rain...Oh Joy!

Thunder.....
Thunder is so great It makes for a great scary movie atmosphere. One thing that I hate about thunder, though, is that it sounds a bit like an earthquake, which by the way, I am deathly afraid of. However, when there is thunder, it makes a rainy day so much better.

Lightening....
Lighteneing is one of those things that I used to be very afraid of. The fact that you can still see it, even when your eyes are closed, is a little frightening. As I have gotten older, I have learned to really enjoy it. If it is a flash, I like to think that the world is taking a picture. If it is a bolt, well.....that is just awesome!!! By the way, did you know that when there is a lightening storm the safest place to be is in your car. Just thought I'd share that with you free of charge.

Rain.......
Rain is wonderful. I love the smell of rain, I love the sound of rain, I love being in the rain, I love watching the rain, etc. Rainy days are wonderful for sitting in front of a fire with a blanket, drinking hot chocolate, and watching a good movie. Unfortunately for me, most of the rainy days that I experience are at work or school and are not that enjoyable. Oh well.....one rainy day I am going to take a sick day and live my dream!!!!

Gas Prices....

This picture, I think, best describes the current gas prices. I can not even believe the cost of gas these days. It literally costs me over $40 to fill up my little tiny tank. And, I have to fill up like 3-4 times a month. That is approx. $120-160 a month. OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!

Huntington Beach

This week I have had the privilage of staying in Huntington Beach. I am dog sitting for some friends and am getting paid to kayak, soak up the sun, watch t.v on their huge flat screen, and basically just enjoy life. There is just something about being at the beach.......to be honest, I am not really a beach person, but when I am here I truly enjoy myself.

What a life!!!!

Spring Training

Okay......so I know I am so lame. I am writing about my Spring Training trip and I have been back for about a week and half. What a procrastinator I am. Anyway.........my trip was sooooooo fun. I went with my family......and yes my dad is wearing his Dodger blue. The Angels played the Dodgers and so he was rooting for them.




Also.....I was able to get some autographs........Torii Hunter, Jon Garland, and Mike Napoli. I am almost finished getting all of them.










Overall, my weekend was very fun. I got some sun, relaxed a lot, and enjoyed watching Angels baseball. Now I get to look forward to Opening Day!!!
