My new place.

So its official. I'm now a downtown girl.



Looking back last year I posted about moving... I seemed like I was excited to move, shortly after I moved, I realized I was not. It wasn't the worst living situation I've ever been in, but I moved with intentions to stay for more than 12months. I did NOT want to re-pack my stuff a year later to do this ALLLLLL over again.



So let this be my promise. I vow to stay at this new gorgeous 70's style downtown pad, for longer than 12 months. ( Unless that is, Mr. Wonderful comes to sweep me off my feet and take me to that place we call neverland, and I can live happily ever after with a huge diamond sparkling on my hand.) Ha.



Here are some photos.

The living room ( I have no curtains yet, this is the property managements photo)

The super retro kitchen. I adore it. Mine is lime green though.

Im pretty excited about moving this time. Down town is right in the middle of it all, all the hustle and bustle. I figure, if theres going to be any time to live in the middle of it all... Now is the time.

A very popular thing in downtown are bikes. You can pretty much ride your bike anywhere, bike lock ups are a regular thing with businesses and such. So... I just had to...

And Here is my new Ride... Roxy. She's a beaut. I just need a basket, and a bell.

Other than that, here is my new update. Im happy... and continue to try to stay organized and un-stressed thru another move.

Happy Thursday!

My new place.

Ladies & Bathroom Etiquette

So recently, my business relocated. We now share a building with a technical college. You know, one of those fast track schools where they train Medical Assistants, Respiratory Health Assistants and rent a cops? Or maybe the are corrections guys... Who knows. They wear knock- off CHP uniforms, and scrubs. But their uniforms are besides the point. These women and girls alike have atrocious bathroom behavior. Beyond having to put in a 3 digit code on a mechanical keypad to even gain access to this mess...

Let me introduce you to the ladies of the restroom.

"The Ripper" -

Have you ever been sitting in your stall just minding your own business when you hear a lady "rip one"? I mean, comeon' now ladies... That's kinda gross, but whoever you are out there that have no shame when it comes to flatulence, You shall now be dubbed "The Ripper"

"The User"-

For these ladies, they must have grown up without a love for nature. You know who I'm talking about... the person who uses an exorbitant amount of toilet paper. You will hear the roll spin and then spin some more... Oh wait and shes not done, it keeps SPINNING. What in the world are they wiping? Do they have a vagina of a woolly mammoth? Put down the roll Ma'am. 4 Squares should suffice.

"The Social Butterfly" -

No, don't confuse this term with the girls who are the life of the party, These are the girls that take the party to the toilet. They text, make important phone calls... like calling the sitter, or just a quick "happy birthday" to their ex. That's when the smart girls in the stall next door, flush the toilet twice. Or, this is when you have permission to turn into the "ripper".

And last but not least...

"The Cootie Queen"-

Yes, you guessed it. The ones that flush and rush. No soap, no water... just a soiled disgusting palm on the door handle. Um, WTF? Is your immune system made of steel? Or do you just like infecting the rest of the world with your gosh-awful diseases? Give me a break, And little nursing assistant students... We see your drab blue scrubs, and your white basic shoes... WE KNOW ITS YOU.

Ahhhh, I feel so much better now that I got that off my chest, and I think I gotta pee ;)

It's not my luckiest day...

But i wore green.

And I plan on having a couple green beers.

Have a safe night my friends.

I dont think your beautiful... I think you're beyond it.

Welcome Parker Anthony Gonzales

Im a very proud auntie.

A short sweet rant

Rant starts now.


I Miss the smell of plain brown #2 Pencils.
I Miss how life was so easy as a child.
I miss being carefree...
Now with all these bills... These responsibilities... I just want to scream sometimes, or just run away.

I Miss how I felt when I first started my job. SO HAPPY. Like I had a second family.
Now I come to work and wonder if I'm the one being whispered about...
I don't want to feel like the bad guy anymore.

So here is my resolution...

I AM the good guy. I will be the one that is nice, and courteous always and will continue to be.
I need to change my attitude... I am becoming those people that drive me insane, the ones that are bitter and impatient.

Friends are hard to find, but when you find them... check again to make sure if they are really your friends... when you know they really are, then hold them close.

I have a few good friends. Im grateful. VERY grateful for them, and will never take them for granted.

And who said anything about this keeping your enemies closer?? Heck-no Techno. Enemies... get the hell away from me.


Also, there is one more thing I want to rant about...
I'm super sick of waking up and feeling like an old lady. ACHING everywhere. I want things to go back to before November. I'm trying so hard to not let it get to me everyday but I will admit, It kinda is. I just HURT. I feel like if I ignore it, and pretend the pain isn't bothering me, that maybe I will just forget it, or it will just go away... Not the case.
I hope they find a cure for arthritis. I hate the thought that anyone has to feel this way.

Rant over.

Fun Stuff Man!

So I have some pretty exciting stuff happening in the "Life of Kristie" Like...
