Just thought everyone should know...

It was cold out today :( I walked out of work around 7pm and it was like 50! Total BS, I needed a jacket, which of course I hadn't brought, I barely know what one is anymore! Its going to be cold again tomorrow.

In other news...
I still have a job, which is awesome! I thought I might get fired because some a-hole organized retail crime ring stole like $3000 worth of merchandise from my store, but my boss is great and I still have a job!! Phew!

Also...
I'll be home the first weekend of Feb.

My first earthquake!

So I was in my first earthquake last week! I was at work during training and everything started to move, it was nuts! Cool though, and obviously I survived!

I saw dolphins yesterday!

In case anyone is unclear: I LOVE LIVING IN SAN DIEGO!!!!! Yesterday I rode my bike to the beach with one of my new roomies and we saw a pod of dolphins really close to shore! It was amazing!

I also moved (hence the new roomies) to Ocean Beach, which is where I was hoping to live when I moved to San Diego in the first place. So now, all is well! I've got a fantastic new place and so far the room mates all seem great! I just took a great new job managing a Guess store, which I absolutely love so far!

I got to go home for the holidays, which never happens with my retail schedule, so there's another bonus for me. I had a great trip home, got to see my family and my friends, got to go snowboarding 3 times and we had some record breaking snow (followed by record breaking flooding shortly after I skipped town and came back to the sun!)

My little sister, Stanah, came to California with me and stayed for a week in Orange County with me at the hotel while I trained for my new job. It was so great to share the experience with her and to take her on her first trip away from home. She'll be back!

WTF??!!!

I got in another car accident! Yesterday morning on my way to work, I was in another stupid car accident! I am fine, but my car is probably totaled!! My brand new beautiful car that I wanted for so long and finally got!! What the hell!??!!! I was driving on I-5 and some ass didn't check her blind spot and swerved right into me! It was pretty scary because there were a lot of cars at about 60-65mph but I escaped basically unharmed. My shoulder is bruised and my collarbone and shoulder blade were hurting last night, but today so far I am fine. Now I have to deal with getting a rental and getting my car fixed...yuck!!

Happy Halloween!

My first holiday in San Diego!! I had to work until 10pm on Halloween, thanks to the untiring efforts of a certain coworker to make my life miserable. (don't worry, she's just jealous!) But, you gotta do a lot more to keep me down!! So I did my Egyptian makeup on my last break at work and once we were done closing the store, I flew home! Kristen had my Captain Mo waiting for me and we got ready as quickly as possible...which isn't very quickly so we got a really late start!! We took the trolley to the Gaslamp Quarter, which is this cool part of downtown, dressed as an Egyptian and my roomie as a french maid. (Last minute costumes due to lack of time to prepare!) We didn't get there until about 12:30 but we made the most of it by getting really trashed really quick, dancing a but and then when the bars were kicking everyone out, we hit the streets and started mingling! The streets were packed with people in some great costumes! We hung out for a couple of hours talking to people and being pretty ridiculous. Don't worry, ladies, god's gift to all women was there! I will post pics as soon as Kristen gets home from work. All in all, a successful Halloween!

Sorry Beth, I fell behind...

I will do a better job of keeping my blog up to date with all the awesome things I do!! Its just that, unfortunately, I work a lot!! Right now I am looking for a different job closer to home because I have to drive really far. We'll see how that goes!!

Ever seen wildfires?? I have...

I drove to LA with Kristen (roomie) and Matt (her bf) to spend the day and check out the big city and all it has to offer. (Like pharmacies) We started our trip a little later than we had hoped, which can be attributed to 2 girls living together who will be "ready in 10 minutes" for about an hour. The drive there takes about 2 hours, and our first stop was to visit a friend of Matt's who sadly, has a medical condition which requires the herbal remedies to make her life livable. So we, being the good samaritans that we are, took her to the pharmacy to pick up her "medicine." Literally, we went to a pharmacy and she purchased ganja with her medical card!! California knows how to party!!! Then we went to Universal City and checked out some shops, had some dinner and walked around. On our way out of the parking garage, Matt noticed the Camp Pendleton fires!! We got out of the car and were watching the wildfires burn. It was crazy, I have never seen anything like it. It was night, so we could see pretty well. The fires were really bright and we could tell by the distance that they were devastating if they were so big and bright from as far away as we were. Hopefully everyone is okay. I have met quite a few people who lost their homes last year to the fires, it is really a threat around here! Don't worry, I live by the beach!
