I don't have anything really new to post. I need to do a short post on everything that has happened with me since I last regularly posted on here. Not sure when it will happen, if ever. LOL. Anyways, Ryan and I are doing well. I'm heading to Fresno tomorrow because Disney is going to be at the Fashion Fair mall. I'm going to go and look for a disney balloon that they will have spread all over the mall....or so they say. I'll let you know how it goes.
How is everyone else doing?

Posts from myspace.....a few things going on!
Something's going down!
Okay, so, for the past few nights (except this last weekend, because I wasn't here to know if it happened) I have had a mouse, or possibly a rat, or possibly more than one of these things climbing into my dryer vent from the outside of my house. ISN"T THAT SWEET?! So, I have been TOTALLY losing sleep because of this, because it just happens that the damn vent is right outside my bedroom window, which also happens to be where my bed is! ERRRRRRR!!!! So, I hear this damn annoying noise at night. Wakes me up around 12:30 in the morning. I'm sooooo annoyed if you couldn't already tell?! So, I decided that I was going to go and get some fencing and rat/mouse poison.
Welp, before I left work yesterday, I mentioned this whole "issue" to one of my coworkers. He told me that there might be too much lint trapped in the vent keeping a flap door open?! What the hell is that?! I never noticed a door?! So, I go to OSH....get the poison, no fence, because it was so damn expensive! I then talk to a neighbor about the whole issue, who then helps me a bit. Sure enough, after reaching my hand up in the vent (fearful that something might bite me, however, I bite harder) I feel A TON OF LINT! Oh my word! So, I dig the crap out of it, so I can get the flapping door to shut. There was plenty more there, but I was getting tired and it just was not easy. So, I stopped, and was hopeful that I would actually get some sleep tonight.
Welp, I would like to say that I did get a full nights rest, but I don't think I can. I can't honestly say that I didn't hear anything, because I think I did, I just don't really remember. I think I was so damn tired from losing so much sleep, that when I did hear the noise I said f-it and rolled over and passed back out. I will be looking to see if some poison food is gone when I get home. I'm sure there is some missing. I'm also going to do a load of laundry to make sure I get anyone out of the dryer hose, and then, I'm going to duct tape it shut. That might help it a bit. I'm not wanting to kill anything, I just want it away from my house. Go bug one of my neighbors!
I'll keep you posted on what's happening. Worse case will be that I get my dad's pellet gun, stay up all night, and start hunting!
Weight Loss...
Well, for anyone who might care. I have lost now, a total of 15.6 pounds! WOO HOO!!!!
Lazy...
Okay, so I'll admit it, I'm lazy. That's right, I'm lazy! I don't care. Now, you may be asking, well, where is this coming from. I'll tell you. The other day, I was coming home from work, and had decided that I didn't think I had enough time to make some dinner before running out again, so I went to Taco Bell. Well, the one I normally, go to, that has a drive thru, is under construction, so I went to the other one here in Santa Cruz. Guess what, they DON"T have a drive thru! As a matter of fact, most fast food places here in Santa Cruz don't have a drive thru! Its CRAZY! It's NUTS! I don't know what is wrong with these people! I know one of the McDonald's doesn't, and I believe the other one doesn't as well. One of the Taco Bell's doesn't either. The only things that I have noticed so far that does, is one Taco Bell and one Jack in the Box. In Capitola (the town right next door) Carl's Jr. is in the mall, so no drive thru, McD's doesn't have one, KFC doesn't have one and I don't think Burger King does either?!
Now I ask you, what has gone wrong here?! Does it look really bad on me, that I'm too lazy, or in a rush and I don't want to bother getting out of my car to get my order? Or, are they not catering to the American public who want to have things done in an easier way?! Who's at fault here?! ERRRR! It's frustrating I tell you! Maybe I have just gotten to used to being catered to?! Who knows?!
Duct taped bumper
Okay, so yeah. You read the title correctly. My bumper, on my car, is duct taped together. How sad is that?! So, you may be wondering, why is it?! Well, if you look at an earlier post you will see that I hit a cat with my car. Sure enough, the cat is in fact dead (saw it on the side of the road, later that same day), and the force of the cat broke my bumper. No, this is not some unusally LARGE cat or anything, it was an average size cat! My dad saw my car, and was like, "What the hell did you do?!" and I had no idea what he was talking about until I looked. Sure enough, it (the cat) broke my front bumper in 3 places, and bent my liscense plate back, really nice like! Damn cat! Now, I get to go and get the whole thing replaced. Been told it might cost around 3-4 hundred bucks! OH JOY! However, I have also been told, that because the animal was committing suicide, that I won't have to pay a deductable! I REALLY hope that is true! I'll keep you updated.....later.....

Opps! Been awhile!
Okay, so I haven't written it what seems to be like, ages. I apologize. I'm sure you all forgive me. Anyways, nothing much new going on here. Still working in Salinas, living in Santa Cruz. I have barely gotten things done in my place. I've been heading to Coalinga every weekend to visit Ryan. Oh, and in case you didn't know, Ryan and I gave each other our Christmas gifts early. We put satellite radio in each others cars. It is great! I'm still enjoying this relationship and living life. I'm currently looking for a new job, as mine has never been permanent, and so they could possibly let me go this coming April. Wish me luck!
Well, I better get back to work. I'm also on myspace now, so if you want, you can check me out there as well. www.myspace.com/adxdaffodil all my blogs (except one) have been public, so you don't have to join to be able to read. The one you can't read, was a letter to Ryan....I'm sure you understand!
Miss you all much......J

Point to Ponder
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves.
"One is Evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.
The other is God. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
"The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

I couldn't of said it better myself...
THE LAW IS THE LAW
So if the US government determines that it is against the law for the words "under God" to be on our money, then, so be it. And if government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are not to be used in or on a government installation, then, so be it. I say, "so be it," because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen. I say, "so be it," because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions. I would like to think that those people have the American public's best interests at heart. BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot post His Commandments in Government buildings, I don't believe the Government and its employees should participate in the Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life. I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just another day. I'd like the "US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays." After all, it's just another day. I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the "Christmas Break." After all it's just another day. I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter. It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be "politically correct." In fact....I think that our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshipping God...) because, after all, our government says that it should be just another day....What do you all think????
If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the "minority opinions" and begin, once again, to represent the "majority" of ALL of the American people.
SO BE IT...........

I WAS APPROVED!!!!!!!!
Okay, so as most of you know, I was in the process of buying a house here in Santa Cruz, well, I was approved for the open at 2pm on Saturday, October 15, 2005. Pretty much almost EXACTLY a year from when my parents and I were approved to buy a place here. I am soooo excited! Ryan and I spent the night there last night, and did a few improvements that we wanted to do. It is going to be slow, as I have Grand Chapter (OES State Convention) from Tuesday evening through Saturday evening. Then, I go home Saturday, sleep at home Sat & Sun night, then go to work on Monday, then Monday evening I need to check into a hotel in Sacramento as I am going to training (at the last minute) up there for work from Tuesday-Thursday. I think I might end up taking Friday off from work, as I will not be getting out of there until 5pm and then FINALLY heading out of the area, so I might just go down to Coalinga. Anyways, it is going to be a long process. I will start posting photo's of all the work we do. Okay, off for the night. Need to get some sleep, if I can, I'm still so excited, and I'm sure you can understand why!

Ryan's favorite shot I took, all 6 Thunderbirds in formation, flying right over us. It is a great shot, and I'm glad I got it. Had a blast at the Air Show with the love of my life......he can't wait to join the Air Force, and hopefully become a pilot. Please keep him in your thoughts as he applies, it has been a dream, and I hope he gets it, but alas, we both know, that God will do with him, what he sees fit.

A Riddle
Schwarzenegger has a big one.
Michael J. Fox has a small one.
Madonna doesn't have one.
The Pope has one but doesn't use his.
Clinton uses his all the time.
Mickey Mouse has an unusual one.
Liberace never used his on women.
Jerry Seinfeld is very, very proud of his.
Cher claims that she took on 3.
We never saw Lucy use Desi's.
What is it?
