Ramblings

Life has been crazy busy and boring all at the same time. I feel like I have been running around busy but when I try to post something on my blog, I realize how boring my life really is. We went to a fun Superbowl party in Malibu to a friends house. It turned into an all day affair. We got there around 2pm and went home at 12am. The game was fun to watch, even though none of us at the party were really cheering on a particular team. We just wanted a good game and that is what we got. During half-time (and most of the third quarter) we walked on the beach and took pictures of the sunset. I made some really yummy salsa (it's not spicy at all but I think you can call it salsa), and it was a hit with the other guests. Thanks Lucy Bowns for the recipe. Alden went to Arizona this week to help his older brother move and give him some emotional support. He needed someone like Alden to pick up his spirits.

While I may complain about the details of my job and dealing with a lazy director, I am so happy that I have a job right now. Health care is one place where they cannot get rid of a bunch of employees. People still get sick and still go to the hospital and still need rehab. And for that reason, I get my butt out of bed five (sometimes six) days a week and go to work, when I would like to stay under the warm covers and sleep longer.

It is finally raining some here in CA and it cracks me up to hear the people complaining about the rain and the "cold" weather. We need the rain badly for the crops and to lessen the fire danger. Some of the people know not to complain about cold weather to me because I just call up my dad and see how much snow they have and how cold it was when he went out to do the chores that day. It shuts them up fast.

I got my taxes done already and I found out that it was a good thing too. If you don't have your CA state taxes filed by February 10th, the state is not sending your refund. The state is in such bad debt and they can't balance the budget, that they are giving out IOU's for the tax returns. So while you still get your federal refund, the state is keeping more of your money.

Until next time...
