I've had this journal "friends only" for quite some time. I guess I just kinda forgot to let other people know. If you would like to be added, just drop me a line and I'll be happy to add you. You can either comment or email me. All my contact info on the user info is correct. Alrighty, have a swell day :)

Nothing new as of late.

I'm in need of a hair cut. Sergio mentioned the other day that it was getting really long. I hardly notice, but it has really sprouted. I love long hair so I'm not exactly rushing to do anything about it.

They were gonna give me a lap top at work. Then they just up and changed their minds. I'm getting really sick of their wishy washyness. They had given me a cell phone, but I gave it back because I'm kinda over it.

This weekend will be whatever. Sergio has his military thing and I have my final Friday night. We'll do a dinner date when he gets home on Saturday. Other than that, I'll probably clean and shop.

Right now I'd just love to go do my own thing. Unfortunately I have a math test I need to do. I am really having a difficult time getting motivated for my class. I really need to get my butt in gear.

Alright alright. I'm going...

I'm not sure what to write. I know it's been awhile, but I feel like right now isn't a great stage in my life.

I mean, I don't feel like I have any friends. It seems like Sergio and my relationship has had its ups and downs lately. We've been put through a massive amount of stress with his school. I am a little disappointed in his behavior. He uses his school as an excuse to not to things around the house. It's like his get out of helping free card. He makes it seem like what I do is nothing. I'm feeling extremely taken for granted right now.

When it comes down to it, I love him. That's all that really matters. I just don't know where in the hell he thinks he can talk to me the way he does. I'm not sure what to feel...

I'm not too thrilled about this weekend. I promised a friend that Sergio and I would house sit for them. She doesn't want her dogs to be alone. Also, one has diabetes and needs shots. She's gonna pay me, but I can't stay at my own house and it seems like I've already got a ton to do.

Tomorrow we are going to have dinner at Sergio's parents house since we'll be in the area. Other than that, I need to work on homework. I also am going to attempt to make some time to work out. I doubt it'll happen though.

Tonight I was horrible for dinner. I went out and had a burger and fries. It just seems like I've botched the last few things I've made. I'm a little spatula shy. I'll have to get some motivation to try again.

I have been having a rather mundane weekend. Nothing really wild and crazy to mention. I've been getting plenty of sleep, so there was no catching up neccessary. I felt a little tired today, but that is because I wake up so early that it seems like the day drags sometimes.

Tomorrow it's back to work. Sergio starts paramedic school tomorrow too. It was nice to have a day off. I'm not really ready to go back just yet.

I'm going to Vegas and Hawaii in less than a month! Yay!!!

Tonight is our date night. We picked a place in Tustin that sounded good. I think it's Italian, but I'm not sure. I'm gonna check it out right now. Other than that I'm just cleaning and such until Sergio gets home from the air force base.

I don't know how it is only Tuesday. These week has been so jam packed and it's only starting. I have sooo much to do. I have to admit that I'm having a hard time getting everything complete. I don't exactly have the best help in the world.

On Thursday I'm going to a sales dinner at Bucca di Beppos. Sergio isn't too thrilled because he has to be home alone. On Friday there is a bbq for the clients at my bosses house. He's invited to that. Tomorrow I need to go to his paramedic school orientation. BUSY BUSY BUSY. When can I stop and smell the roses?

Your Subconscious Self

danielle, your subconscious mind is most preoccupied with issues around your sex life

On a conscious level, you might already be aware that something is troubling you, or eating up a lot of time when it comes to your sex life. But it's also possible that thoughts and feelings about your sexual encounters have been preoccupying your subconscious mind — leaving you with nothing more than a general sense that things just don't feel 100% right in your life though you can't quite figure out why.

You may wish your sex life were more satisfying, or you may worry that you're not good enough in bed. Perhaps you have conflicts about your sex life or you feel preoccupied with sex. Or maybe you're so frustrated with your situation that you avoid the topic all together.

Whichever feelings hold true, your test results indicate that right now, your subconscious mind is working overtime to resolve the issues confronting you in this area of your life — even if you don't feel aware of it.

However, you can learn easy ways to tap into your subconscious mind and discover the source of the issues that are preoccupying you.

I feel like shit. I was doing so good on my diet and then wham! Today I went to the grocery store and bought one of those big slices of cake they sell. I guess it's good that I didn't eat dinner, but seriously... I really didn't need that cake. I'm feeling guilty now and really thirsty. Tomorrow I'm going to try and be better. I've gained a few pounds, but my legs have gotten trimmer. I've been working out for over an hour every night.

I have been surprisingly chipper this past week. I guess I shouldn't get too excited because we're only 2 days in. I thought that I might drag because of the moving and unpacking this weekend. I guess not... I've also been getting up early so I can make it into work around 7ish. So far I've been coming home early too, which is nice.

Our apartment is great. This is the first place we looked and I am so happy we found it. It is cheap and we can have our puppy. It's got everything we need. We finally have a dishwasher. I can't even believe how much I took those for granite before. Our oven is horrible, which sucks since I cook so much. I'll just have to get use to the temperature so I can adjust it. At least it doesn't have heat pockets like our last one. Things would cook so unevenly. This one just cooks cooler.

This place has a whole different vibe than our last place. There were no kids at our other place. It was a bunch of white trash widows and their 40 cats. Here we have much more *cultural diversity*, but I like it. There are even people here our age. I actually feel like I could meet another couple for us to mingle with.

We are in need of a few new things. The place is bigger so we have more space to fill. One thing I would love to get is a new couch. We have a really comfy old one, but it's ugly. We have covers on them, but those never look quite right. I have tucking them in all the time.

We found the place and moved less than 10 days. I am really proud of us. I never thought we would finish especially with me starting my new job. We never actually moved at the same time. It was one or the other. But we did it, and we worked our butts off.

I think I was just going through the motions. I hate moving so badly and I just wanted to get it done. I hope we don't have to move for a long time. I'm really hoping our next move is when we head to Ventura County and we can afford our townhouse. That'll be a few years at least.

I don't get to really see Sergio until Saturday. He starts his new shift on Sunday. I'll get to see him every night for dinner and we'll actually have Friday nights together again. That'll be perfect for us to have our date nights. This weekend we're just gonna do a lunch.

We are all settled in our new apartment. I am really loving it. There were a few things that didn't go as nicely as I had hoped, but for the most part we love it. It is warm here compared to Huntington Beach. I'm still happy though. We are near everything.

I don't feel like doing anything right now, but I know I have to get to paying my bills...

I am so thankful that I found the new job I am at. This place is so awesome. The people are great and I really love what I'm doing. I have totally moved up in the world. Now I even have an awesome title, Sales and Marketing Coordinator. I am making bank and I get commission. I really could not feel any luckier. I hope that everything works out. It seems I haven't been too lucky with my previous jobs. They seemed pretty good for the most part, and look what happened....

We got a new puppy and he is the funniest beast I've ever seen in my life. He makes me laugh so hard. The laughs are so genuine they come from deep in my belly and I can't stop myself no matter how hard I try.

We are moving on the 1st of August to Anaheim. We can't take him until we get into the new place. For right now he's hanging out at my dad's. I visit him about 3 times a day.

Tomorrow is one of Sergio's "one weekends a month." He'll be home at night and then we're gonna have our date night. He gets to pick the place and right now he's thinking pizza. We also have some movie rented, so it should be a pretty great night.

Is there anything good on tv tonight? I've been working out way too much lately, so tonight I'm going to take a break. I'm just gonna sit on the couch and watch a little tv!

Even though our vacation is only going to be for the weekend, I can hardly wait. I need to get away so badly. I normally don't like to go away because I hate living out of a suitcase. I am such a homebody. I would rather just be in familiar surroundings.

We are going to drive. San Diego is only a little less than 2 hours away, max. I don't think it'll be bad. We're going to leave early on Friday and we have Fast Track. It should be a snap to get there. He's gonna drive, I think.... My car isn't really good for long trips. I did just get new brakes though.

I wish we could stop in Mexico or hit up some other places, but the trip just isn't long enough. The fair will be in town. We're going to go there. We also have a few restaurants we plan on eating at. We're staying right in the Gas Lamp District. I know we'll spend one evening walking around there.

I'll hate putting my life on hold. I hate breaking my routine. We'll have to go grocery shopping on the way home. I'll feel all behind and off on Sunday.
