Little Italy
I’ve lived in San Diego long enough that I should know my way around and yet I still discover hidden gems that I never knew existed. Today, I ventured out to Little Italy and went to church at Sant Joseph’s Cathedral. It was a good change of scenery compared to the usual Good Shepherd. The sermon really hit home as it was about how life is short and that we should cherish every...

Firsts
It was my day off. Technically I still worked in the morning from home with Price As Right Playing in the background and PJs still on. Like most days, I never really had anything planned. Should I stay in bed until my stomach starts grumbling to tell me to get some fuckin’ food or get up and just see what happens.
I chose the latter. Did my morning routine, took my keys and off I went....
Christmas
Christmas was a little different this year…but I did it! Nothing better than having the best friends and family to share it with.
Only thing…
How are Jackie and I going to split the Christmas tree and decorations when our lease is up next October?

and so it goes
never really grasped the concept of blogs. its a public diary to tell the world of your most random thoughts to your most deepest secrets. yet we all share these stories that can be read by total strangers. do we expose ourselves in hopes that we find other people who can relate or are we really that confident where we just say anything and not care about what anyone thinks? either way its a mind...

Greetings
It seems like I’ve been in Chicago/Vacation mode these past two weeks. I had the greatest time being in a new city with great people. Makes me want to venture off and explore my own. San Diego has a lot of things to offer and I can’t wait to show them off to my tourist friends and family! I’d like to thank the Fernando family for opening their homes and letting me experience one...
Eeek.

White Elephant II
I know, I’m really early with the “White Elephant” being on Christmas and all. But, I didn’t want to forget my brilliant idea that I would like to implement this Christmas.
It will still have the same concept and rules the regular White Elephant has but instead, nobody will open their presents. So, we base our picks on the presentation, boxes or how it’s wrapped. It...

Farewell 2009
What a year. I must say, it is the most depressing yet eye opening year ever.
From having a black president to starting my official full time job and letting go of my seven year run at Chili’s to JLB playing one awesome show at the SOMA to the many people that we loved who passed away. I was definitely not the same person I was one year ago.
Moving on is hard but I cannot wait to say good...
hmmmm

4 Months
It’s been four months since I last saw Kara.
It still shocks me everyday, knowing that I will never physically see her again. I’m glad I got to see her on my birthday! She was supposed to go to Vegas that weekend and I’m so happy she didn’t! Even if it was for a short time, it really meant a lot to me. I’d invite her to my family parties and if she had plans,...

La Paz Blvd.
Everything reminds me of Kara. Even the La Paz Blvd. sign when driving to Disneyland. She loved the La Paz burrito at Santanas!
I set up my Macbook Pro today and loaded all my emails from my Gmail account. I noticed that my very first email was Kara back in 2007. It’s amazing how much we e-mailed each other. She was my Tumblr! Looking back at old e-mails from her made me realize how much...

Kara Withdrawals
We’d say that to eachother if we haven’t seen each other in a while. You wouldnt take “we’re just too busy” as an excuse. I regret not going out with you when you asked because I was tired. I always thought…”Man, how does she go out on the WEEKDAYS?!” Lately, I’ve been doing it and man it’s so much fun! It’s like a mini-vacation...

As long as you don’t try to make sense out of what’s happening now, you should be able to move through your day with ease. But as soon as you attempt to explain the synchronicities or unravel the mysteries, you will be asking for trouble. It’s not that there are no answers; it’s just that this kind of detective work is currently a distraction from what you need to be doing....

(Well, actually, that wouldn’t really be your name — since you’re female, your name would be something like “Kaðlín Björnsdottir”. But this is the twenty-first century, and you want to be known for who you are, not for who your father was, right? Right.)

– Not sure if Kara took this quote from somewhere or if this was her words but I found it on her blog last August. It breaks my heart to know that she was cut short the many things she could have done in her life. She wanted to take care of people the same way she took such great care of her friends...
My friends are fun.
Michael
No, not the movie…but the infamous Michael Jackson! Man, I remember when I was little I would sit right next to the stereo and play my dad’s Michael Jackson CD over and over again. My dad and I had differences in music but we both loved Michael Jackson—who didn’t?
I loved the movie Free Willy just because of Michael’s song that played in the end. I think I that was...
Office Workout
My co-workers go the gym during their break while I eat, eat, eat for an hour. I’m too lazy to go to the gym everyday but I feel like I’m getting weak and fat just sitting on my ass for 8-9 hours a day. So, I came up with a brilliant idea and decided to create a work out of my own during office hours. You see—we have a downstairs bathroom and an upstairs bathroom. My office is easily accessible to...
Beer Pong
I love this game. If you know me, I’m very impatient and I like quick games that require a lot of intelligence but still require a little skill such as: speed, air hockey, and especially beer pong! It’s so fun, easy, and quick (that’s what she said)!!
I just hate cutting my participation in the middle of winning streak because I have work in the morning! Booooo! But as Kara...

Kara we miss you sooooooo much that words nor pictures could ever describe the impact you had on each and every one of our lives!!!
So long, farewell good friend
I couldn’t help it but I had to go through old photo albums and remember the times I spent with Kara. We’ve had our share of ups and downs but we always manage to pick things back up again. She had a big impact on my life and was with me through rough times. I could always confide in her no matter what she was doing. She would always drop whatever she was doing to hear me out.
We...

Turning the big 2-4 on Friday and you are all invited to join me at Disneyland/CA Adventure. I will be leaving around 12:00pm Friday afternoon. If you care to join the Mr. and I around that time, feel free to join us. If not, you can always meet us there. They close at 12 am. I was also hoping to watch UP while I was up there. So…Let me know if you’re interested.
Have a nice day.

Very proud of my good friends and boyfriend of Jack’s Last Bullet! You guys were awesome!
Technology
I hate how unreliable technology can be sometimes. Especially cell phones! No matter how high-tech of a phone you have, there’s always going to be a time when sixteen missed calls falls through the cracks or a somewhat important text message delays by a couple hours.
Note to self: don’t take your frustration out on the caller, instead take it out on your phone and chuck it against...
