So I was texting back and forth with a friend and it was quite an entertaining event. Then all of a sudden we have gone silent. So it kind of bothers me as we just kind of stopped communicating - why ? Well like a friend posted in FB at least say hey got to go, chat later something don't just leave the other person hanging. Granted hers was worst as it was a phone conversation.
So here is the last few texts....maybe they were just too honest.
Mr. C: so no diamond for you?
Me: My view on marriage has changed in the past few years and I am not about a diamond ring. Remember I am sensitive and sentimental; I inherited a saphire ring that will work just fine by me.
Mr C: I was joking about the diamond.
Ten minutes later
Mr C: I believe anyone really concerned about the size of the diamon is pretty shallow at least to a certain degree.
ME: OK your previous comment made me want to say that I need to remember that the literal understanding I take from your questions is more often a joke and not a serious inquiry. However, I do agree with your diamond comment. Yeah I would love a beautiful rock but honestly I prefer honesty and integrity a lot more.
No response and it has been an hour which we usually end our texts with got to go talk later but nothing yet. Was my comment about my literal understanding of his question blah blah blah too harsh. Or is he letting me know he has neither honesty and integrity.
Seriously though I am realizing how often we miscommunicate and we increase the odds when we text rather than converse. Not to mention when we don't take the time to slow down and return phone calls.

Orale Pues Vamos a Tijuana!!!
Yesterday I went to TJ with the doctor. We headed down the 805 and then the 5 and as we approached the border crossing the doctor said "Last chance do you want to turn around?" I was no let's do it!!!
So we found this great place to eat where the doctor had been before. I was planning to have some fish tacos but I saw a chorizo and egg plate go by and I was down for the count. So we planned our outing and hit the town
However, as I went to the bathroom it was no bigger than a closet I was like yikes at least it is clean.
So off we went and we went to the Rodeo Drive of TJ and walked around this shopping center. As we drove around the turnabouts aka the glorietas in spanish we saw demonstrators for Pena Nieto for the Pri party which is called the green party (if I am wrong - please let me know). We went to a grocery store and purchased some pan dulce and some Nivea cream in a jar. As we tried to pay for our parking we could not find a pay station that took dollars and finally we did so we hit the road.
We then headed to the Mercado and that was awesome crazy parking. We walked around and I bought some Spiderman pinatas, some chicle (going to get some to chew while I type this).We also bought some fruit and that was yummilicious. I also had some corn that was roasted. I bought some cajeta.
Afterwards we headed to another supermarket where the doctor had to get some medicinal supplies aka Tequila and I continued my search for the Orange Fanta in a bottle. I of course figured in a grocery store use the bathroom it is going to be clean....WRONG. Let's just say the doctor smelled the smell out in the area of the store nearest to the bathroom. I sucked it up and used the facilities. On the way there we saw a car accident and while there was no damage the police had to come and the guy that was rearended with CA plates was so mad that the cops were coming.
We then headed to Adelita's hood. Now that was interesting we parked the truck and went to the store and bought a t-shirt for the doctor and I got an apron. It was very sad to see this part of town. Then we drove around and as we did this we almost saw a kid get hit. I totally covered my face with my hands thinking holy crap I am going to see a fatality.
We parked the truck walked around and then ended up at a little restaurant and watched a Sinaloan band play. Wait before this the doctor spinned the steering wheel for the churros we bought. The man said we were hired and could start right away. So don't be surprised if you see the me or the doctor making churros at a shopping center in TJ LOL. People were dancing. It was so much fun. We also watched a little bit of the first fight. As the sun was going down we decided it was time to head home.
We drove to the border crossing by the airport and our wait began. We had some churros while waiting and watching some big eared toddler in the car in front of us own that car. Eventually we made it to the crossing but the car in front of us got detained and the gate was closed while they were taken to the inspection.
As we finally went through the border and provided our documentation the inspector asked what we were bringing back. We told him why lie right? Then when the doctor itemized the number of tequila bottles being brought back he asked to see the size and then proceeded to tell us we were only allowed one bottle per person. We were over the limit and he told us why they were illegal...people get wasted on this stuff. I was feeling a tinge of guilt for being a transporter but also that the doctor may have to dump some of the tequila. We were allowed to bring it in and off we went to my home.
I can't wait to go to TJ or Ensenada again!!!

Count 1, 2, 3
So you know when someone says something to you and you are thinking ok I know I messed up but really do you have to say that?
Well that is how my morning started. Someone said something to me that I took personally and really the fact that I caught it was a good thing I think. However, I also thought why didn't anyone catch it before or did my predecessors know but kept quiet and now I am left with the mud on my hands.
Luckily I think the person at the other end of the line realized what they said and stopped from further criticism and provided a good solution.
However, once the words were out the damage had been done. Did the person apologize? No. Will they? Probably if I confront them with how it felt. Will I confront them? I am trying to get the courage but not sure that I will.
Interesting how a few words can affect an individual; which is why I think I have to learn once again watch what you say; and if I think I have offended someone or demoralized them I need to apologize quick!!I try I really do try to do and not too long I was denied the opportunity to explain something I said to apologize, clarify, and be forgiven see post Emotions - Energy in Motion.
Then if you have been the person who has been offended or demoralized be brave stand up and clarify things, yes that includes me (huge task for me) and if someone tries to clarify and apologize let them so you can both feel better.

First Angels Game of 2012 Season
Did you fall of your chair? Start to choke on your water? I know, I know I can't believe I am just going to my first game of the 2012 Angels season on June 2. What the hell is going on I might ask? Well, I enjoy San Diego and consider it home now and I have been out of town a lot on mini weekend getaways.
However, I am fortunate enough to be able to go out to dinner for my friend Sharlene's birthday along with Lisa and then go to the Angels game. As I prepare to head up the 5 to the OC, it is going to be a great drive with awesome weather. I am also reflecting in the days of just getting in my car and doing a quick drive up to the big A with different amazing individuals to see the Angels. Or sitting at Bishop Street in my purple couches with Perri watching the game or having her call me in the middle of a workday to say you need to be home by 6 because I got us tickets to the game tonight.
I know most people find baseball boring but to me it is so relaxing and fun. I also have some of the best memories from going to games with friends and just having a good time.
So I can't wait to head to OC and I am going to wear my Pujols jersey tonight and take my newest toy (my new Cannon camera)!!!
Oh and TX Andersons if you read this I hope you will be watching and may the best team win (GO ANGELS!!!!) I think of ya'll often, miss you tons and love ya'll even more!!!

Walking Walking Walking so I can RUN
OK so back in 2000 I was probably in the best shape of my life, swimming, tae kwon doe, kickboxing, working out with a trainer, and training for a marathon. I loved the going running part it was so relaxing and I felt great. Then I went back to school to finish my BA since I was capped out at my salary grade and needed to finish those last 17 units to graduate.
So naturally I stopped doing all those fun things. Then a couple of years I was just too tired and would get winded going up the stairs. I thought wow I really have gained some weight need to work on that...I would try but I was still too tired to do anything. I managed to lose some weight and my doctor congratulated me on my efforts and I was huh? I haven't done anything and I am super tired and winded when I go up and down the stairs. After a few blood tests I learned I was anemic and then a few months later it was severely anemic and told not to exhort myself. So much for getting into a workout routine.
Well now that is behind me and I have signed up for my first 5K in years. I am a little concerned about how long it may take me and can I finish it? I know I can but you know I have that fear of taking too long or passing out silly things I know.
So today I set as my first day to start doing quick walks in preparation to start running eventually. As I laid in bed early this morning I thought. My gosh how can I do this I have so much extra weight I am going to look foolish. I thought about postponing my walk but after an hour of laying in bed and arguing with myself, I pulled the covers off and put on some workout shorts and a tshirt and dusted off my New Balance running shoes. I downloaded an app to my phone to track my walk, distance, time and calories burned.
I set off for a walk for what my dream was a year ago; to be able to run to Qualcomm Stadium from my apartment. by the time I lived there a year. So I did one mile towards the Q and back to my place. It took me 25 minutes and that may seem like a long time for some, it does to me but I am more determined now to make my dream a reality and on July 31 be able to run/walk to the Q and back to my place.

Texts!
Texts are sometimes the pickup you need on a long workday after a second three day weekend. However, they can also make you sad if they are unanswered or you interpret it the meaning behind it the wrong way.
This has been a long day today back at work and I couldn't figure out why it seemed so long. Then I realized well it was my second three day weekend in a row and this one was just as great as the previous one but a lot more relaxing as I slept in my bed on Friday night rather than fly in an airplane across the country with a smelly feet companion on my row.
So I was sitting working on a spreadsheet and I hear my text notification go off and I was huhm wonder who that is. It was my friend Sharlene whom I have not seen in what seems like forever. Just seeing her name on my texts made me happy and then to think that I may see her this weekend made me even happier.
At the same time it also made me think of when I lived in Cypress/Rossmoor and my evenings where I had so many people I would bump into wherever I was or could just show up at their house go to dinner, or just hang out and talk or go for a walk. I love my friends in San Diego and they are amazing but as I slowly develop relationships that I know will last a lifetime - it takes time and sometimes like today you miss the familiarity of so many years.
Yes, I am only 2 hours away but life gets in the way. Some people have moved and others well I guess we have grown apart. A friend mentioned to me that sometimes we just grow apart because it is hard to not have that connection and closeness when we are miles apart so it is easier to deal with it by becoming distant. I know it sounds confusing but I totally get it.
Lately I have tried to keep myself from texting and tried to just dial that number and talk to the person. I think texting has kept us from really connecting from people. Just like e-mail (I see two thank you cards I should have mailed over 4 weeks ago sitting on my desk). People ask me why I send thank you cards and I say because it is the polite thing to do and it is nice to get a card so randomly.
OK I derailed myself from my last point, which is. Sometimes we text someone or someone texts us and we are so busy or we don't want to deal with answering the text that it goes unanswered or we just think what why would they say that totally misunderstanding the real message behind the text. I am so guilty of this. As I mentioned earlier I am really avoiding the texting game and assumptions. Why? Well there are some people in my life that I do forget to text back because I am so busy. There are texts that I receive that I think seriously I don't know where that came from and I am confused. Then there are the texts that I send and go unanswered for days.
So here is my challenge to you today, if there is someone whose text you have not answered pick up the phone and call them. If there is a text you don't understand pick up the phone and call them. If there is a text that has gone unanswered for days, pick up the phone and call them.
And to my friend that texted me today - thank you for making me smile and reminding me that maybe I need to pick up the phone and call someone.

Missed Opportunity?
This past weekend I was fortunate to attend my nieces graduation from Boston University. It was such a short but great weekend. I took the red eye and it truly was a red eye. Arrived early and made it to the hotel and took a 2 hour nap at the most and was up for the day.
Spent the day with my family, had a great dinner and then bed for a good 8 hours of sleep. Sunday was graduation day. We enjoyed the festivities and then prepared to go home the next day. I soon fell asleep sometime around 11 pm and around 2:30 I woke up feeling congested and wanting to throw up. I waited as long as I could and around 4 am the bathroom and I became well acquainted. I thought of taking a later flight but sucked it up and headed to the airport feeling as though I had a bad hangover.
I figured its an early flight for the west coast people so we will sleep. Wrong!!! The lady one row behind me and across the aisleway talked the ear off of the kid from Harvard next to her. I felt I was sitting right next to her. After 4 hours of being in a conversation I then heard the man on his other side start giving him advice about college. So no sleep for me.
We had a layover in Phoenix and I was able to move up to the front of the plan (Southwest - Cattleboarding seating.
I sat in a row and eventually began talking to this man whose daughter Britany graduated from BU as well but the communications department. He was very very nice and we were having a good conversation about his daughter my niece and the Boston area. We started talking about San Diego and then Mr BYU sat between us. I was bummed as I really wanted to keep talking to the BU dad So we all chatted a few minutes but then we stopped.
When we arrived BU dad said it was nice flying with you take care I was like oh yes you too. We then unboarded and I was walking out when I realized he was right behind me. I thought you should talk to him give him your number but wasn't sure how to do this. So I went into the women's bathroom which was a huge mistake and quickly ran out. I then saw him going up an escalator and thought oh he is going to his car. After a few minutes I realized I needed to go up that escalator too and realized he was waiting for a shuttle. I seriously said a little prayer and asked that he would be taking the same shuttle company as me so I could somehow give him my number. So I was discouraged when a shuttle bus for a different parking company pulled up and as I reached the waiting area saw him still standing there. I froze and wasn't sure how to approach.
Then my shuttle van pulled up and went straight to him. I was like seriously?!!! So he opened the door for me and I was Hi, its so great to see you again!! He smiled and said yes, it's been so long. I was like ok now what do I say as I got in the van.
Our driver got in and then I realized from the conversationt that me must travel a lot and use that parking lot often.
We got to our lot and I was like ok where is your business card give him one of those. Tell him he's the nicest guy you have met in San Diego and it would be nice to see him again. Thought oh cheesy. Then I thought, ok tell him you are looking for a Production Manager or Cost Estimator and if he knows anyone to call you. Still not sure where my wallet was. So I failed I got out and congratulated him on his daughters graduation and to have a great week.
I thought of giving the driver my number to give to him but that seemed so cheesy.
So I start pulling out of the parking lot and get ready to pay and I think oh he's behind me again. Should I pay for his parking or should I just scribble my number on a paper and tell the cashier to give it to him. I paid and pulled out and looked at the kind of car and thought ok run back and do it but I decided against it.
So as I got on the freeway I realized he was on the freeway a few cars behind me .I switched to get on the 8 and he was doing the same. I was like wouldn't it be funny if he lived near me but seriously not going to happen. Then as I got on the 15 I noticed he was ahead of me and when I got off on my offramp he was a car ahead of me. We started driving into the direction of my place but he turned right on Ruffin into an industrial area. I thought oh he may not live by me but he works near me. I think he probably went to his office to check on some work stuff. I mean if my work was near my home and airport I would have done the same.
So I think this may have been a missed opportunity. I wish I had taken the courage pill and given my number right? What would I have lost? Nothing, instead I just keep thinking about him when I drive home and look for a Brown Liberty Jeep with 5WKS license plate (those are the only letters I remember of the plate) So please dont think I am a stalker, just a very insecure woman to give out her number to a complete nice stranger on a plane.
