Not much to say..sorta

I wish I had something exciting to write about. I usually have funny stories or weird things happen to me. But lately, not so much. This doesn't feel normal to me! Ha! So now I am not sure if I am bored and just making things up in my head, but I feel like people have ulterior motives. People I hardly know so I guess this could be normal to think. Actually, I have always done this so it is not new to me. I never trust people at first. Sometimes I never will! I don't know what made me think of that. Anyways, I am working a few hours today which obviously I am not looking forward to but it is money for coming home for Christmas! Thanks to my brother who found me a good priced flight, I will be going home for a few days. I dread saying goodbye again but it won't be long till I am back there to live. Living on the beach though does not compare to the streets of the town I grew up in. Or am I supposed to say that the other way around? Hey it's early here. What I am trying to say is now that I have lived on the beach, I think I always have to! It will be cold in NE living on one but I don't care, it's always beautiful to me. Even without the palm trees.

Mr. Sun Sun Mr. Golden Sun...

The last few days have been so nice. Before these days the sun didn't shine for almost 2 weeks! I kept saying to myself "I did not move here for this crappy weather!" Some days I did not mind the rain though. I liked listening to it pound off of things outside the window, seeing it pour off of our huge living room window and make cool designs. It definitely got old and I am so glad the sun is back! The sunsets are back! So other than work, we like to just hang at our beach place. We watch the sailboats and surfers. Haven't seen the dolphins in awhile. Today was the Pats vs Chargers so it was fun being the only one in the complex rooting for NE!! Tony and I made a bet and whoever lost has to do the dishes for a week. Oh poor Tony. He is going to have such dry hands.

Beach Home!

We got a place on the beach!! It is amazing. I can hear the ocean from the living room as I type. I can see it too but it's just dark right now. It takes me about 30 seconds to get to the beach from here. When I go to work, I drive along the ocean almost my whole 15 minute ride. When I come home, I take the same route. It might take a few minutes longer both ways but that's ok. I just can't believe I am actually on the beach...it is perfect. Pics to come :)

Tomorrow

I don't even want to get too into this. I start my new job full time tomorrow and I am not exactly excited about it. I never minded getting up to go see the twins. I don't even want to talk about them. I have had a month off. I just want to like my new job like how I liked(loved) my old one. I also got to take care of my nephew every other Friday and on the Fridays out here that I know I would be with him totally bum me out. I wish I wanted a child cause I would be a good stay at home Mom!!!!! That's not even where this post was supposed to go. Well it is bedtime soon seeing that I have to be UP FOR WORK! haha! 10 1/2 hours......the countdown is on.....

Seagull poop

They, whoever they are, says when a bird shits on you it is goodluck. Does it matter if it's a seagull? I have been shit on by one before, years ago. It landed on my lip. I thought it was just someone running by me and their wet bathing suit had splashed on me. NOPE. It was shit. On my lip. Did I say that yet?? My friend almost peeded herself when she looked at me and realized what I was telling her and I was very upset. Anyways, that's another story. The seagulls, plural I am assuming cause I got shit on 7 times, plus a splat on my bag and a few on the towel. I sat up and looked at it all. Thought "What am I gonna do??" Then the smell hit me. I almost vomited!!! Duh!! Go in the water! No matter how cold it is!!! Get all that trash and shit off my body!!! They eat trash and gross leftovers from gross people. HA! And from not gross people also but the visual I had in my mind was gross people. Not like it matters at all! The water was actually not that bad. YAY! I cleansed myself from seagull shit and went back to my towel(yes there was some poop drying up on it but I had just got there! I was not leaving yet!) Nothing too exciting happened after that. I was pissed I didn't take a picture.

Change

I am the type of person that does not deal well with change, and I have gone through A LOT of it the last month. I must say that I think I have been doing a pretty good job dealing with it all!! I started my new job today caring for a 2 month old and an almost 2 yr old. It makes me miss the twins so much! Sometimes I think, I just want to be with them! But I can't be so I have to get over it. That's what sucks about what I do. Anyways the family is super nice and laid back, exactly what I need. I know it will take time for us to all get use to eachother, I just want to be at that point already! I am happy and thankful that I found something to pay for my not new life, I guess I would say my different life out here.

Scenery

Body surfers
Hurley surf contest

The home of the people that started Airwalk


Uuumm HUGE



Wetsuit Tony




Of course I have been stressed out lately while searching for a job but I am trying to enjoy the beauty of my new surroundings. For example, the other day I went to Old Navy. As I walked out of the store I stopped and looked around. Palm trees, mountains and the sun shining off me and making me feel good. I thought about how when I step out of the Old Navy in Burlington. Certainly nothing like this. I need to relax and enjoy where I am and what I am doing. Easier said than done but it can be done. The beach is beautiful and peaceful. The ones we have been to kinda remind me of east coast beaches. Then I look behind me and see huge houses and those palm trees again and I think not so much! I also got to see Tony surf! I never have before so that was cool! When we drove up north to catch a surf contest(drove around forevaaa and couldn't find parking :( so bummed) the beaches were awesome! Huge waves, big, long beaches, just beautiful. The color started to change to more of a turquoise color. We stopped at a place in Newport beach called The Wedge. People there body surf! Ya they just use their bodies and surf HUGE waves! No thanks, but very cool to watch! I am happy I get to be here and see new places and things. It will be good for me. Then I can go home. HAHA :)
