</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am always amazed at nature's color pallet. This bird for example, look how bright and gorgeous the colors are and they are complementary to each other.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wonder if it ever thinks to itself if only the feathers on my face were yellow, I would be much prettier. Or this blue ugh!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Maybe it is just humans who are not ever happy with what we were given; never satisfied with our true beauty. I know I am not. I am constantly wishing my hair were thicker, darker or longer. Wishing that I could be just a few inches taller, definitely thinner and maybe had thicker lips. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Focusing on what we want and can't have (unless you have loads of money) makes one depressed and left constantly wanting. It will be hard but from now on I will try to look at myself as nature intended. Beautiful in my own colors. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(Granted this will happen after I dye my hair)</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A while back I was making some Sunny-sides up and the whites ran just so. I looked at it and the eggs seemed to be looking at me. I wondered could this be the next wanna be super heros mask? Not the cool heros but the ones who just can't seem to get it right, you know the c-list hero's.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What would his (yes a he because a girls costume would be so much better) story be, why would he choose a mask of sunny-sides up? Maybe he is a defender of hen houses or chickens or chicks? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Or he just couldn't find anything better and that is why he is on the c-list.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

We thought we wouldn't get in but once the doors opened the line moved fast. It was so worth not having to pay $24 a piece.</div><br />

Yep I am older, slightly more wrinkled and possibly wiser (ok maybe not). This "big event" happened over a month ago and yes I have neglected to tell you how amazing it was.<br />
<br />
Well it started off with the decision to wear my favorite red dress, if I have to age then I better look good doing it. Then a walk up to my local polling place to vote for all the many candidates and propositions California had to offer. Yeah sharing my day of birth with election day has never been my favorite thing. Then off to work, why write about it, granted they sang the B-day song and ate pumpkin tart, YUM!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><br />
</div>After work I met some friends at <a href="http://www.pho84.com/">Pho84</a> for delicious Vietnamese food and opening of presents and then we quickly ran up to the church so I could babysit baby Cal while his parents and the others played Volleyball. (With my Klutzy nature it is best I stay on the sidelines)<br />
<br />
Thank Goodness for an awesome roomie or else there would not be a photo from the days events.<br />

The day actually started out fantastically, my dear friend Amber came into town for a short visit. I always love to see her, I loaned her my car so she could visit a few of her friends while I worked and we met up for a lovely lunch. She was so kind to top of my gas tank, little did I know that was a huge blessing.<br />
<br />
Later that evening another dear friend Traceylee arrived to spend the weekend at The Green. We went out to <a href="http://www.xyclorestaurant.com/Xyclorestaurant.com/Welcome.html">Xyclo</a> for a delicious Vietnamese dinner and then off to <a href="http://www.ici-icecream.com/">Ici</a> for scrumptious ice cream. We laughed the entire time, talked about all of our many plans for that weekend and I thought this day was quite a blissful one.<br />
<br />
In a few moments it changed from pure bliss to well not my favorite moment ever. As the three of us were walking up our well lit driveway, giggling and having an all round grand time little did we know a new phase of our lives was about to begin. Being the last of the group (A-Gril was already at the door, TL right behind her on the steps) I turned at the movement I saw out of the corner of my eye and smiled big at the man walking up the driveway with a gun pointed right at us. I thought at first it was a neighbor, hence the lame smile. My brain was not recognizing what was going on fast enough, that is when I asked him if he was serious. Yep now I know what my first reaction would be when a gun is pointed at me. As if he was going to rethink what he was doing and walk away. I guess I am snarky (or dumb) in every situation, not that I ever want to go through this again.<br />
<br />
He told us to get on the ground, not to look at him and hand over our purses. I guess we weren't doing it fast enough we he put the gun to my head. NEVER do I want that to happen again nor would I wish that feeling on anyone. We handed over our stuff and he told us to run towards our neighbors and not look back or else he would shoot.<br />
<br />
We pounded on our neighbors back door, poor guy he had yet to meet us and now he had 3 hysterical women in his living room. I called 911 going through all of the regular questions, what, where, how. Another one of my stellar moments came when the dispatcher started asking personal questions about myself. What is your race, hair color, description of the other two and my age...that is when I stumbled. Wah? I asked, Your age she replied. I had not yet come to terms with my recent birthday and now I had to mention out loud in our rather good looking neighbors house my age. Hurriedly I whispered...37, ugh seriously I had just be mugged at gun point and that is what I worried about.<br />
<br />
The Police Officer arrived rather quickly, 6 min to be exact, and another arrived shortly after he checked the gas station on the corner. They were both amazing and talked us down. Asking us which way he went and of course we didn't know they figured he ran down hill. We all had to give our own statements and while A-gril and TL were giving theirs the neighbor stayed and kept me company. Of course A-gril and TL said I was flirting...I was not, we don't know how to flirt in my family, I just needed someone to talk to and something else to think about.<br />
<br />
After I gave my statement we all went inside and bolted the door, called our banks, stopped credit cards, etc. and then the shakes and the realization started to sink in. There was no way we were going to sleep. I called my boss to let him know what had happened and that I had much to do on Friday, spoke with my friend <a href="http://www.mariellehayes.com/">Marielle</a>, because she is always up late, then watched as A-Gril and TL discussed the merits of real vs l.e.d candles (funny conversation to have after being mugged)<br />
<br />
We all went to bed, slept restlessly, awoke early only to call my boss again. That is when all of the phone calls started and my voice started to get raw. I swear telling my parents was the hardest. Then we were off to banks to get some money so that we could go the the <a href="http://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/home/dmv.htm">DMV</a> (blech). Funny thing you need an id to get money and money to get an id, granted TL did not find that amusing. The DMV took forever as expected and we are all waiting for our new DL.<br />
<br />
It was 3 before we were able to eat lunch, while the others went to get <a href="http://www.trueburgeroakland.com/">Trueburger</a> (because we deserved it) I waited for the locksmith. Oh he was interesting and I was so happy when Britta called, just because I needed to talk to her and not him. Thankfully the others returned and chatted it up with him (not that it was fun for them either). Later that night <a href="http://thebrunson2.blogspot.com/">Britta, Shay and Baby Cal</a> brought over soup and well needed company. Who knew how therapeutic it could be to have a simple dinner and good friends over.<br />
<br />
We have all had our ups and downs that past few weeks. Relayed the story at least a hundred times between the 3 of us. Relied on the Lord and good family/friends to get us through, laughed when needed, cried when needed, breathed deep when having to face going outside, forced our selves on long walks, forced ourselves to go out at night, flinched at the memory, been deeply grateful that what was lost could be replaced, changed our routines, worry incessantly about others and if they are safe or not.<br />
<br />
I have learned that I still hate guns, to travel light, everything is replaceable (some for a fee), I strongly dislike the word mugged (it makes the situation sound trivial), that I don't care what you would have done in the situation ("maced him", "taken him down because I know some moves", "used your gun") because what we did was absolutely the right thing and to finish my ice cream cone faster because I didn't get to that night.<br />
<br />
And there is my story about the day Oakland lived up to it's image. I am determined not to let that ruin my love and image of this little part of town. It may take awhile to regain trust in the general human population but I will, I am determined to do so.Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00534385404856033448noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515763386232487440.post-53311959324503856732010-11-16T19:52:00.000-08:002010-11-27T19:55:18.545-08:00Psst...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjME1b3juZt00t2NzigV_zTRxZXh-aXCeS0TUGP7cW5AsNvoMcBWd856iS8X3F7YzWeNt6B425A443T7F2cuM8DZOTnm5KEM5Qag06Lt2FuJjDM8Qhxk8WcjQNaBoZmQSNcedtOqmWjXRPY/s1600/IMG_2209.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjME1b3juZt00t2NzigV_zTRxZXh-aXCeS0TUGP7cW5AsNvoMcBWd856iS8X3F7YzWeNt6B425A443T7F2cuM8DZOTnm5KEM5Qag06Lt2FuJjDM8Qhxk8WcjQNaBoZmQSNcedtOqmWjXRPY/s400/IMG_2209.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Happy November!!!</span></b> </div>This is my favorite time of year.

<br />
Every Halloween I must watch "The Nightmare Before Christmas". It is a family favorite. We are big Tim Burton fans. It always get me in the mood for the holiday. I especially love the music. Granted I also watch it at Christmas, it is a 2 in 1 Holiday flick. That is why it is so awesome!<br />
<br />
I also have to watch "Arsenic and Old Lace". Why because of Cary Grant...duh, and it is a perfect "scary" comedy.<br />

I trip/ fall frequently usually resulting in a minor bruise or general achiness. Every once in a while it causes major wounds and scars that will last forever. Last night there was another incident where gravity or my body decided to give in completely. Granted this could also be blamed on my lack of thinking. <br />
<br />
I was given a T-shirt from a co-worker yesterday that I was going to wear to work today, as a kind of joke. Well this co-worker smokes so the shirt smelled just a bit. So I decided to take the lazy route and Febreeze it. As I stood in the kitchen practically soaking the shirt thru, I didn't think of the consequences of how the floor would be effected. As I started to walk out of the Kitchen I slipped on the now very wet floor. My whole body flung ungracefully into mid air crashing down head first into the door jam, slamming my shoulder and hand into the shelving system next to it. (yes it is giggle worthy)<br />
<br />
I lay there clutching my head, hoping and praying that it would not bleed, feeling the swelling form under my fingers. Poor A-gril had no idea what had happened, she sprung into action grabbing a bag of frozen peas and praying herself that there wouldn't be blood (she is very queasy).<br />
<br />
I moved to the couch and lay there with the peas while A-gril studied up on concussions and the like. She was terribly worried (as was I). Every once in a while she would blurt out "recite the Alphabet", "Are you feeling really angry right now". It was kind of amusing.<br />
<br />
Needless to say I didn't sleep well last night, but other then a sensitive head (the swelling has gone down a bit), bruises on my shoulder, palm and the usual general achiness, I think I am alright.<br />
<br />
Granted the Febreeze didn't work and I had to wash the shirt anyway...proof that this whole incident could have been avoided all together.<br />
<br />
So yes I now dub myself Queen Klutz.Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00534385404856033448noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2515763386232487440.post-8003995130847584452010-09-11T16:17:00.000-07:002010-09-11T16:17:43.077-07:00Japanese Tea Garden<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0wZ0xELc_pTwjJXhrWfFndaTyy78bAtKsqf0lMGV53lDz9Lvs-8TE_8UQBJkQehGOFDMMQfXxWdukfiIDskpuVGADMJT1NBve9NjN_IZ9iQTAkcxNvsIMn28r5RGmCcxodTiw4WuvZLtW/s1600/IMG_1474.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0wZ0xELc_pTwjJXhrWfFndaTyy78bAtKsqf0lMGV53lDz9Lvs-8TE_8UQBJkQehGOFDMMQfXxWdukfiIDskpuVGADMJT1NBve9NjN_IZ9iQTAkcxNvsIMn28r5RGmCcxodTiw4WuvZLtW/s400/IMG_1474.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Yes 7 Labor day weekends ago I loaded up a truck with my scant (ha!) belongings, gathered a couple of Rock Star Friends and Rock Star Sisters and headed West.<br />
My Brother had been attempting to convince me for years to move to the Bay Area and I would never take the bait.<br />
<br />
Then one very Hot April day, while sitting at <a href="http://www.coachella.com/">Coachella</a> he called asking if I could immediately send my resume to him. Well I couldn't because I was currently in the middle of nowhere. When I finally returned home we chatted and he convinced me to move (the best life changing conversation ever... Thank's Dave!)<br />
<br />
Anywho I admit in the beginning I was homesick for the place I didn't love for so many years, why I couldn't figure it out. It must of been the familiarity. I told myself I would stick it out for 2 years, I felt that was a respectable time frame to say I DID IT.<br />
<br />
Well as you can see the 2 years have come and gone and I am still here and LOVING it more then ever. Occasionally however I have to quell the itch to move onto some place else. I hear and see where other people live and to steal a phrase from <a href="http://www.nbc.com/30-rock/">30 Rock</a> "I want to go to there". Maybe one day I will. For now I have Fabulous Friends, a good job, and I live in one of the coolest neighborhoods in Oakland, why move?<br />
<br />
So what did I do to celebrate my 7th Labor Day weekend...So far nothing glamourous, I bought new tires (OUCH!), found out I am going to be an AUNT AGAIN!!! Enjoyed a lovely Picnic in the park with such lovely people, and for today well I bought a Fab new dress ( I know I know, when did I become such a shopper), sat on a bench in a lovely park and read a book, attempted to watch <a href="http://www.syfy.com/battlestar/">Battlestar Galactica </a>(I am still trying to see what the fuss is about), went for a walk and now dinner. Actually it has been a perfect Labor Day weekend!<br />
<br />

Can you say annoying. This group was so loud and obnoxious while we were eating our picnic. People started to leave. They were taking pictures for over 30 min...now take a pic of us doing this, now this, now this....They were happy to say the least.Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00534385404856033448noreply@blogger.com1
