Tuesday I found out that my brother didn't make his promotion in the U.S. Air Force. He's been in for 24 yrs and September 1 is his last day.
he knew it was coming, but I think he was hoping to continue on in the Air Force. But for now he's finishing up his bachelor's degree while looking for work in Europe (he and his wife want to live & raise their daughters there). So he's state side until he finishes up his degree.
Since time is “running out” on how long my brother and his family are going to be in the States, I came up with a pretty good family vacation idea and then my dad was like "Lizet is good with spending other people's money." I try to do get us to something as a family and my idea gets crapped on before it's even heard. well forget I even said anything.
So what was my idea? I thought that next summer the 6 of us out here (my sister, her kids, me and my parents) could go to Florida for a couple of weeks. His house has a pretty decent backyard & pool...we could "camp" back there, go to the beach...do SOMETHING as a family because the last time we did that, Marta & Daniela were like 18 months old and now they're 5 years old.
Part of me wants to suggest it to my brother and sister (my mom was already for the idea) and see what they say and my dad could stay here for all I care.
My other idea was a 12 day family Hawaiian cruise (my sister said she was saving her money to go to Hawaii with Marlin & Jasmine), but that would have been way more expensive. Plus the only Hawaiian cruises were September of this year, April & December of next year and then April 2012, and the kids would be in school during those times.

bad habits
I have a bad habit of circling dates in/on a calendar but making no note WHY.
Like August 28. What's going on that day? There’s a baseball game I’d like to go to, but if I already have plans that day, then obviously, I can’t go.
Oh wait! That would have been the date of an end of summer party at my church but plans have changed, so barring anything else needed to be held that day, baseball is on!
I can’t possibly be the only one with a bad habit like that.

So you want to be a Notary Public
On August 18, 2010 I will be attending a seminar on becoming a Notary Public. That same day, I will take a 2 hour test (and hopefully pass) so that I can be one step closer to being a Notary Public. If you live in California and would like more information, click here:
Yup, I registered and paid for the seminar that’s to take place on the date mentioned above. After the seminar, I take the test. After the test, I get the results...15 days to a month later! Passing is a 70.
Either I’ll obsess about those 15 days to 30 days or I’ll be so busy with school stuff that I’ll forget until someone asks me or I get the pass (or fail, though I hope not) letter in the mail. The end of September I should know one way or the other. Should I not pass, I can test again. I hope I doesn’t come to that though.

Several Things
- I want to get back into photography. I’d prefer to be able to develop my own film...and that it’s black & white photography, but really, any kind of photography will do. This means I need to get a decent (aka cheap) camera. I am a beginner after all.
- I want to get into bike riding. I have my eye on a few beach cruiser bikes, so now it’s a matter of actually going and buying the right one. My parents keep saying to look at the Salvation Army or thrift store, but honestly, I want something I know no one has used because there’s no telling what kind of condition it’s in.
- I want to travel. There’s so many places I want to go and not only is there no one who can really go with me, but I can’t decide where I want to go to first.
- And *gasp* I’m actually thinking about going back to working towards being a flight attendant (thanks in part to a tweet done by Meredith). Oh I’m still going to get my Paralegal certificate/degree and I’m still going to do the Notary Public thing too. Gosh, I’m turning into my dad with all this stuff I’m doing/want to do!

How’s this for timing?!
I need to make an appointment to go to the dentist so I log into one of my e-mail accounts to get my dentist’s number and there’s an e-mail from the dentist office. They were reminding me it’s time for a cleaning and left the number to make an appointment. However what isn’t in the e-mail is the address so I look them up to get the address and I’m looking around the site, clicking on different links and click on employment. I usually do that with different websites I go to so I can see what jobs they’re hiring for. Well my dental office is hiring for receptionist. I had applied to this position once before but for some reason I didn’t hear back from them. I pulled up my resume to make sure everything is in place and sent it off.
On the Notary Public front...I found a date that’s the earliest can test. August 18th is a seminar and testing from 830 am to 530 pm with the usual breaks for a snack and lunch. I checked the area of where it’s going to be held, and there’s quite a few places I can choose from and they aren’t overly expensive either.
My high school reunion is quickly approaching on July 31st and found the “dress code” for the event. cocktail attire. I don’t know if what I recently purchased is cocktail attire, but I can’t buy anymore clothes.
My 28th birthday is in 1 month 3 weeks and 5 days. Of course there’s a ton that I want to do. I mean, I change my mind like every freaking week! First I want to have a bowling party, then I want to go to Disneyland, then I want to go to a concert on Florida to see my friend Marissa, my brother, sister in law and the girls, I want to go to San Francisco...those are what I can remember. Oh and I want to go to to a baseball game (2 if I can swing it financially)! Now my mom has said she’d pay for half of my ticket to Florida (if I or my brother pay the other half), but since I can’t find any concerts I want to go to around my birthday, I’m thinking I rather go to San Francisco or to some (more) baseball games.
Hollywood Video by me is having a closing/going out of business sale. 30-80% of a lot of the DVDs and games...and they’re also selling the fixtures. I went in hoping they’d have The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as well as Prince Caspian, but no such luck. I bet they went months/weeks ago! But I managed to get Watchmen for $4.99 (originally $14.99) and The International for $4.99 (also originally $14.99). There were TONS of horror movies. I didn’t take the time to look through them, but I know my mom would spend a lot of time looking through them. Since they have no final closing date, I might go back and take a look at the tv shows they still have. I saw some 24 DVDs and I need to get seasons 1-6 and season 8. On a whole, there wasn’t much to choose from and probably won’t be the next time I decide to go...if they’re still open.
Today I attempted to give Miss Marple a bath. She has fleas and hasn’t had them since she was a kitten and she’s about 4 years old now. I went to the store to see if they have Frontline Plus, but I think I can only get that from my vet. So I did the next best thing - a bath. I was only concerned with her neck and stomach as that’s where she has them. I started with her neck and that was ok. then I put her on her back and did her stomach. again, that was ok. Now the hard part...rinsing her off! I wasn’t able to get a really good lather and I didn’t want to get all scratched up so I put her in the tub and turned on the water. Mean thing to do, but she lathered up and rinsed herself off and then I towel dried her and let her go to groom herself. After about 10 mins or so, I combed/brushed her out. I hope what I was able to shampoo helps with the fleas some. Oh and I got only 1 tiny cut/scratch as she was trying to get out of the tub. Not bad at all.

who to call friend
Its been sorted out, but I don’t know who to call friend anymore. I’m beginning to get what people on the verge feel like, because I feel like that right now.
The people I want to talk to are probably sleep or off doing their own thing and even if they weren’t, what guarantee is there that they’d be there for me?
This is what happens when I let someone get close? I don’t want that then.
There’s now a dialogue going on, but honestly, I just want it to be done with. I don’t think there’s being friends with this person again. They scared me. I never thought it was this person doing all that was done. I didn’t know they had that much of a problem because they never flat out told me. I’m sorry, I can’t read cryptic stuff. I can’t read between the lines to figure out that you’re talking about me
Its almost 4 am and I’m still awake. I should have been asleep 4 hours ago, but this is going on and I’m on the verge because I don’t know who my friends are anymore.

Clarity
I think that’s a song by John Mayer. But it’s also something that’s happening to me? I don’t know how to phrase that correctly, but it’s happening - or at least I think it is.
Things have been going on. Then they die out. Then it pops back up in different forms and makes me wonder and doubt what I came to realize before.
I'm (still) trying to weed out the trolls and drama llamas from my (internet) life without having to start over fresh.
Just when I think I've gotten rid of the people who I thought were causing problems, more pop up...or the same ones who were cleverly hidden reappear.
With all the stuff they're saying about me that's so bad, I don't get why they just don't remove me and be done with it instead of playing whatever game they're playing, but disguising it as "helping" me.
I just keep thinking about that saying, “you know what happens when you assume? You make an ass out of you and me.” But really, the person doing the assuming is the one with pie on their face, so to speak.
I’m going to keep on assuming and let you do what you have to do and I’ll go from there.
Maybe the title of this should have been assumptions.

THEY should have done their homework
Yesterday I finished Word Processing for the Law Office. It was 5 days long and there was something like 38 total assignments! There’s 25 students in the class so that’s umm...950 assignments that the instructor has to grade!
I logged into Blackboard and see there’s this announcement about grading:
Due to the large volume of Assignments for this course, your Instructor has been advised to make the following modification to the grading process:
Your overall grade for the Assignments portion of the course will be based solely on your submitting ALL of the Assignments made in the course. Your Instructor will select FOUR of your assignments at random to review and provide you feedback. You will not receive individual grades on these--or any--Assignment. Your Instructor will, of course, be checking the quality of your submissions and this will be reflected in your overall Assignment grade for the course.
Shouldn’t the people in charge have known there was going to be a large volume of work and either made the class longer or told the instructor “maybe you don’t need 9 assignment each unit!”
But I guess this new way of grading will be to our benefit. If everyone turned in decent work, we’ll get an overall decent grade on the assignment portion of the grade for the class. I made sure to comment (in the course evaluation) that I thought the class should be longer for the amount of assignments given...or there shouldn’t be so many assignments for a 5 day course.
Anyways, hoping for an A or B in the class. I don’t think I should get anything lower than that as I did everything that was required for this class - all 38 assignments, 6 discussion questions and the final (which I got 48/50 on)!
In other news...I don’t believe I’ve talked about my weekend...or least the Sunday part of my weekend! After church was over, I went with Lora and the Pastor back to their house for lunch and to wait for Staci to get ready so we could pick up her friend and go to the Angels Game. The game was set to start at 5:15 pm and we left the house at 3:30, picked up her friend by 4 pm and by 4:45 were exiting the freeway going to the Stadium. The line to get in was pretty long but went by fast. I was 3 people from being checked when a guy yelled “National Anthem” or something and everything stopped. I could hear bits and pieces of the singing, but what I LOVE THE MOST was the fly over by the C-17 (I think) from March Air Reserve Base (later in the game the pilots were introduced). We got in and the first inning had already started. Sad. We missed the first pitch, but better than missing the entire first inning like what happened when Lora and I went to a game a few years ago.
OMG the game! SO AWESOME! 11-0 shut out over the Royals! It was great! Staci and her friend missing most of the game, but I know they didn’t go to watch it. That made me mad because Lora paid for their tickets, and they maybe saw 1 inning the entire game! Most of the time they were walking around doing whatever...and on top of that, Staci wore a Dodger’s jacket to the game! *shurgs* whatever. Also sucks that since I bought the 4th ticket after the first 3, I couldn’t find a single seat in the same section as the first 3 tickets so Lora volunteered to sit in the single seat in the other section.
After the awesome game was the equally awesome Independence Day Fireworks show! I guess Lora had been trying to call us (I had reception but didn’t have reception?) to say that we should watch the show at the car (and be one of the first to leave lol) but I didn’t get her call. I think I got some okay pictures of the fireworks. I hate the delay with the cameras I have. I don’t know what gives either!
But overall, AWESOME 4th of July! We’re (pretty sure just Lora and I) going to go to a few more games this season. I have some dates picked and ticket prices are so cheap that I hope we’re able to go to all the games! They’re mostly weekend games as Lora works long hrs during the week and has to drive quite a ways to/from work.
Tuesday I went to the post office to pick up the clothes I ordered. They were delivered on Saturday but we were at the church until 8 pm and missed the mailman. When I got home, I promptly tried them on...or attempted to try them on. The tops fit but the leggings...HA! plus one size fits all is laughable! I was afraid of ripping them if I tried to pull them over my thighs! They were lycra spandex type leggings. Not the kind I’m comfortable wearing at all. Too much of a hassle to send them back, so I’m going to ask around for anyone who wants to buy them.
Now today...I start a new class - Legal Office Procedures. It’s 10 days long and there’s only 1 assignment. I shouldn’t complain because there could have been more. After the last 5 days I’m glad there isn’t more!
I need to go to the store and pick up a few things. I want to make apple butter (yummy!) and maybe pick up a cheesecake as my mom didn’t get any on Saturday. I’d make it, but I don’t have the money to get all that’s needed.
Next week I get paid. Sunday to be exact. And after my bills, I hope I have enough to get quarters for laundry. it’s piling up again. I should also be getting a check from working the Election back in June! That’ll be a nice bit of spending money!

come on now!
That was a mediocre success. The BBQ at the Church that is. There were 7 of us, not including my mom, sister and her 2 kids. I was just really let down by it all, but I stand by my decision to have it Saturday as opposed to Sunday. 2 main reasons being I WASN’T going to “cook” the food and set up by myself while everyone was in Church service and I wasn’t going to ask someone to help me do that so they’d end up missing service. Also, we’d be eating and carrying on while the Spanish church service was going on and I feel that’s rude to do that. The other reason being that I wanted to go to a baseball game Sunday evening since it’d been 2 years since I gone to one and if the BBQ was held Sunday, there’s NO WAY I’d be able to do all that stuff, clean up the property after and get to Anaheim by 430 (with the game starting at 515).
I had purchased hot dogs and hamburgers but they didn’t get used so they’ll be used at the Game Night on July 18th. Awesome! Now I don’t have to worry about what snacks to provide. Maybe get some cookies and some more drinks.
I learned a new card game called Phase 10. My mom tried teaching it to me, but I just wasn’t getting it. Staci explained it and after a few rounds I caught on. We played for nearly 2 hours before my sister decided it was time for her and the kids to leave and Lora and I finished cleaning up (my dad did some stuff that I had to undo because it just wasn’t right and I did some stuff in between rounds). We will definitely play that again! I’m also going to buy Bible Gestures and a couple other Bible trivia type games for future games nights at the church.
Hmm Sunday is the Angels baseball game! So freaking excited! Like I said above, it’s been about 2 years since I’ve gone to a game. Every year I say I want to buy season passes, or at least pre-purchase tickets to a few select games, but I never do it! I hope I’m able to next year! Get in on the good seats to avoid the nose bleed last minute purchased seats. Hoping for a good game. They’re playing against the Kansas City Royals, then after the game there’s going to be the Independence Day Fireworks show. Yay!
I talked to my dad about the 24 Hour Fitness thing he told me about a few days ago. At Costco he can buy a 3 year membership for $499 and in the long run that’s cheaper because with the plan I was looking at online, I’d pay $34.99/month, and in 1 year that’s almost $420! Part of me wants to go on and ask him to do that, but honestly, I can’t afford to pay him back for that. Even once I finish paying my credit card in October, I still wouldn’t be able to. Sucks. Looks like I may do the YMCA route after all.

watch me scream
With just weeks until my 10 year high school reunion, plans have been changed FOR A THIRD TIME! If it changes again, I know I’m going scream! But luckily this change lowers the price of the event (from $80 to $60 now to $30!) and changes the location & time (from Beverly Hills and 6-10 (original time was 8-2 am) to an Italian place in Downey and the time is 6-10 pm).
Cool that it’s close and the price is lowered, but it honestly doesn’t seem like much research and planning has gone into this. There have been 2 “planning” meetings that I’ve been invited to but didn’t get to go to, and I’m sure if I would have gone, I could have voiced my opinions, but it seems like all the popular people are having a say and no one else it. We’ll see how this event is and that will determine if I voice my desire to plan the 20 year.
In other news, yesterday I got a letter from Invisible Man. He’s been m.i.a for nearly a month and he’s still invisible to me, but at least I know he’s still interested. Going to write him back this weekend. Got a month of stuff to tell me about...and lots of questions about some stuff that’s gone on.
I started a new class yesterday. Word Processing for the Law Office. Each day there’s upwards of 8 assignments! Luckily they’re due on July 7th, but my gosh! it’s a lot of typing and creating documents.
My parents went to the movies today. They were going to see The Karate Kid, but of course, by the time they got there, the movie had already started...so they saw The A-Team. Man! I wanted to see that! Oh well.
Friday is going to be a BUSY day! I have work, then I have to do the shopping for Saturday’s BBQ at the church and I might have to do some cooking. I don’t to much mind, but it might end up being a pizza for dinner kind of night.
Think I’m going to have a bowl of cereal or some salad. I wanted to do some shrimp, but I waited too long.
