Think. Believe. Create.

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. With my lap top in hand, I drove to Hillcrest that is surprisingly only 5 minutes away. I gave my eyebrows a little pampering at Beauty by Dolly and had a double espresso and breakfast outside at Pappalecco. In between my delicious sips of coffee, I wrote, people watched, and enjoyed the view. 

I get a call from Christal, “Let’s go to the beach.” It wasn’t until then I suddenly had a hang over from the night before. Ugh. BUT nothing like a quick Advil, the smell of the salty air, sand digging between my toes, good company, and oh yeah…a special brownie. A dessert that would alter my thoughts like no other. It wasn’t until 2 hours later that I felt it and developed a keen sense of noticing “firsts”. 

As I sat down at the bench like table at PIzza Port in OB I noticed something I never noticed before. You see, we went with two of Christal’s friends. They’re not as alcoholic as we ere so they didn’t order the typical beer and pizza. Instead, they both ordered an Orange and Blue fountain drink. I thought to myself. I think that is the first time I saw those two drinks sitting next to each other at a table I’ve sat in before. Usually it’s an orange drink and a brown soda. Or just a blue drink all by itself. Never together. And not only was it a first for me but for the other three sitting at the table too. They will never forget the first time they saw those two drinks sitting at a table together. 

*Bleh maybe you had to be there.

Anyway, I kept noticing a lot of firsts:

+ I twisted my words and accidentally said “Night Right” instead of saying “I’m not sure what I’m doing tonight right now.” I really thought more words came out but didn’t. 
+ First time walking the streets of OB with Christal high
+ First hug with new friends

There were more but I forget. Reason for my rambling. Looking back, I had a lot of firsts:
+ First time quitting my first career job and starting a new one
+ First time moving out and paying for rent
+ First time cooking, cleaning, decorating, building new furniture, lighting the fireplace at the new apartment 
+ First time my heart got broken
+ First time traveling on my own
+ First time having my own room
+ First time getting a tattoo
+ First time going on dates 

And the list goes on…Come to think of it. This is my first time writing about my first times on Tumblr for the first time in 2011! 

Next on the agenda - List of 2012 Firsts!
