While you were Sleeping

While you were sleeping, Skyler woke up at 2 am in the morning. While you were sleeping Skyler got in line at best buy at 2:40am. While you were sleeping, Skyler watched the rain fall all around him. While you were sleeping Skyler's feet got cold, but his body was warm. While you were sleeping, Skyler listened to Keith and the Girl. While you were sleeping, Best Buy opened at 4:45 in the morning. While you were sleeping, Skyler bought a new digital camera and a memory stick. While you were sleeping, Skyler got out of Best buy at 4:56am. While you were sleeping, Skyler drove home and started his day after schooling at 6am.

Gobble Gobble!!!

Holla!
Well, here I am, in sunny San Diego, Cali. It's actually the same weather here as it is up in Petaluma, RP, and Santa Rosa. It's nice...we got here at about 1:30...the flight went pretty well. I am actually regretting not having brought my camera. There have already been tons of opportunities to take some great pictures. So we waited for about an hour and a half at the airport cuz we got there nice and early. We got on the plane and stuff...and the flight attendants were hilarious! At first when we were all boarding he kept saying things like "the seats are all blue and tan, they'll all get to San Diego at the same time, and they're all equally uncomfortable, so sit down!" It was sooooo funny! So we are all seated and preparing for take-off, right, and one of the flight attendants SINGS us the safety speech. Now, if I had my camera I coulda taken some sweet video of the peanuts...even though I would have gotten in trouble. Then as we're climbing in the air and we're inclined, they say, "Here come the peanuts!!" And they threw them down on the floor so they slid to the end of the plane!!! And of course, lol, I was on the aisle, so I got the action. It was so freakin' awesome. Usually exciting things don't happen on the airlines, but Southwest continues to impress me. Anyhoo, then, at the end, since it was Thanksgiving, we even got chocolate!!! Woohoo...so then we got our sweet rental car, a brand new Pontiac G6 and stuff, and now here we are! At the Dana Hotel on the Marina. Definately picture-worthy, damn me. LoL...we got to have some Thanksgiving dinner too...well sorta...we had a Turkey dish at this restaurant. I'm actually sad, though, that we weren't at home! I like my grandma's cooking better!!! Well, duh, and now seeing Skyler's lovely spread makes me even more jealous! Oh well. I hope everyone had a really awesome Thanksgiving...and good luck at the mall tomorrow when everyone and their sister and aunt is going to be there too! We are headed to some mall around here to party with all the really expensive stores...it'll be awesome. Definately I'll update tomorrow. The internet is $3.95 for twenty-four hours here, so starting at about 5:50pm, I'll have the 'net until 5:50pm tomorrow too!!! Yay. Talk to you all LATER. Have fun digesting your stuffing.
Love, kisses, hugs, and gobbles from San Diego,
Monique

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Birthday Skyler

For those who didn't know, I turned twenty years old today. No longer a teenager. Wow, have a really outgrown that already. Man, it seems like I'm growing up too fast. I would have to admit I'm a little scared; but then again, I'm excited for the future. Down with the first 20, on to the next 20. Just typing 20 looks old. Sorry, I'm still trying to get over it. Seems funny, but when I first started to use the internet, I spend a lot of time in chat rooms. Back when AOL was cool and like version 2.0. I think I was around 13 years old. Back then, anyone over 16 seems old. And I use to think 19 year olds were crazy. But now I'm 20. As weird as that sounds, thats how my mind comprehends how old I am. Thinking from my 13 year old brain, I'm old. I must admit, I like feeling a bit old. I feel like I get respect for going through life now. I would never say I'm perfect of any sort, but I do feel like I know something now. I feel like I'm old enough to really understand things, you know?

When I was younger, I was always trying to figure things out all the time. I was just trying to be too smart for my age at times. Here is a good example. I think when I was in the 3rd grade, I remember my parents making popcorn at night before watching a movie. Laying in bed, I tried to figure out the percentage on nights popcorn was consumed. I had no way of even going about figuring that out with the math I had, but I still tried. I hope that example shows what I'm talking about. I always seemed to be trying to figure things out that I didn't have the knowledge to understand. Anyway, it seems like now I can really start to understand things. Religion is one of those things I'm starting to understand now. Well, that's hard to understand even now. I'm not talking about the spiratual part of it, I'm talking about the politcal part of it. you know, all the different sects. Okay, I'm getting a bit off here so let me return to myself.

So, now what? Now the big questions start to come up. What do I want to do with my life? What's important to me? What should be important to me? Yeah, all that stuff.... Okay, time to get ready for dinner. Have a great November 21 everyone!

Happy Birthday Skyler - 105

I've been uploading more photos like crazy recently. I'm going to be backing up all my photos on my computer online, in case of a horrible accident. Doing all this work does two things, it backs-up all photos, and it gives everyone a chance to look at old photos! So, click on the photo pics below to view some older pictures. Hey, they might even be new looking to you. People have been asking me about Flickr, so if you have any questions, please e-mail me! With Flickr, everyone gets a free account. Its limited, but awesome for anyone starting out. You can also check out the Flickr Website. I look forward to seeing you pictures in the future... Have a great Saturday everyone.

The Squirrels ARE Evil!!!

BREAKING NEWS!!!

Okay, this is like the craziest thing ever, okay? So this one day I am walking to go meet Sky outside his sightsinging class. So I'm around the theather arts parking area and all of a sudden an acorn hits me, like missing my head by inches! And the weird thing was that it wasn't like dropped on me, it came at me with force! So I picked up the acorn to give to Skyler, thinking that it would be a good story to tell him when he got out of class. Well, yesterday (yes, Monday, November 14th), I was walking out of my chemistry class and another one pelts me, except HARDER, but this time hitting my shoulder strap of my backpack, again missing my head by inches! I flipped out, needless to say. So I dashed over to Skyler, who witnessed the whole thing...
Now people, wouldn't you say the
squirrels are out to get me? Sky is like, uh no. HOW CAN THEY NOT BE? They are pelting me with their nuts!!! *deep breath* Okay. So much for them protecting their nuts. Instead they are plotting against me, trying to shoot me with their miniature acorn bazookas. O0o0o0oh, I'm so scared. (Actually, it is pretty scary.) So warning to all people...WATCH OUT FOR SQUIRRELS. They may be cute, but they are merciless! Like Mr. Stedman used to say: "Maybe you're paranoid, or maybe they really are out to get you."


IN OTHER NEWS...

Well, it's been about a hundred years since I posted, so I thought I'd post and talk a little bit about what I have been up to.
New things:
**I got a twenty-five cent raise at work. OKAY. ONE YEAR. OF HARD LABOR. AND ALL I GET IS A QUARTER!? Does that makes sense? Do you suppose the sweet little Pakistani boys get excited when they get a penny raise? This is the U.S.!!! Gimme all your money Phillips Van Heusen!!!
**Skyler made goal! Yay! So awesome. And then he spent tons of money on a bunch of clothes from Abercrombie and Fitch...a chip of the old girlfriend block. Hehe.
**Skyler's car is healthy again! It's super! Now it doesn't decide to stop in the middle of the freeway. Also, I managed to get him a $4.99 oil change at PepBoys. Who's the good girlfriend now?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Anyway, pretty much nothing is happening. Actually, I changed my MySpace background a while ago, but I think it looks pretty freakin' sweet. Make sure you check out our pics (mine and Sky's flickr). We have lots of pics. Well, Sky does, not really me. Also, everyone should listen to Keith and the Girl...they have been really funny lately. K? (keithandthegirl.com or myspace.com/keithandthegirl) Hehe. Anyway, I think that's about all I can think of to talk about for now. I hope everyone has a fabulous week. And don't forget about the squirrels!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I sure did, and I'm here to talk to you about it. So, the biggest news, I made goal! No, not a soccer goal, but my weight goal. I weighed in at Weight Watchers on Friday, and after loosing 5 pounds over the week, I was 3 pounds under goal. That put me at around 164. As Monique would say, Party!. That was really the biggest accomplishment.

If I think about, it seems that all I have been doing is working on my diet. It really has become such a big part of my life. I'm glad to say that I really do like the way I think about food now. Now that I'm not trying to loose weight anymore, I don't plan on doing much different. I think I just plan to eat a bit more so I can sustain my weight. We'll find out how good I am at that this week.

Okay, I promised myself I would get to sleep at 10:30 tonight, so I have to cut this short. Look for more tomorrow. Maybe some pics and more talk. Have a great Tuesday everyone!

Templete Lost

Hey everyone,
For those who can't tell already, our templete was lost. So, that means our page looks a lot different. I guess Blogger updated there templetes or something, so now we have gone back to the default blue templete. But don't worry... Skyler is here! I'll be sure to make it look like its old self very soon. I just have to spend some time doing some HTML editing... Not a lot of fun, but its no problem. Its kind of fun cause we can start over and add new things. Anyway, I'll be adding pics from Thursday night to Flickr soon. And of course, writtings about this weekend once the weekend has past. Have a great weekend everyone, and stay safe!

SSDD

Hey everyone,

Man, it sure is cool to have a laptop to work on. Getting to school early andbeing able to do all the work I needed to do online while sitting in my warm car is just awesome. I can't wait for the Intel mac laptops in the next year or so. Hope everyone had a great Halloween! I did. Monique and I watched movies all day. Starting with American Pie, then Dreamcatcher, and finishing off with Scream. It was fun. Ate too much popcorn though :-P. Okay, we do have to get to class here soon, so I'll catch up with you another time. Have a great day.

Crazy boy
