Letter

Today's post is supposed to be a letter to anyone I want... I will do this I promise! But tonight I'm just too tired and feel like a letter deserves more focus. So...the letter will come but a bit out of order

Day 18

A list of all the places you've lived.  

I think I'll start from current living place and go backwards...

Salinas

(Back here again after a 5 year hiatus...will be looking for a house to buy in the next couple of months!!)

Carlsbad

Loved C-bad.  I loved my location down there.  1 mile to the beach, the outlets, the coaster station, grocery shopping.  

Salinas

Cute little condo that was my first home purchase.  It was small but in a great area.  Before the condo I rented an apartment with a friend for 2  years. 

Chico

I moved a lot in Chico.  It's just what people did when I was there.  No one seemed to stay in the same place for more than one year.  I love Chico!

Salinas

This was growing up.  I lived in 2 houses from Kinder through High School.  The houses were about 3 blocks away from eachother.  

Seaside

This was pre-school age?  I barely barely remember living here.  I have vague memories but most are probably based on pictures.

Pacific Grove/Monterey

Infant ages.  I have zero recollection of living here. I know the street but that's about it.  I don't think we lived there for very long after I was born...but who knows?!?!

Grown ups and Tv

Day 17 

What do you want to be when you get older?

First of all...wow...I totally had a memory lapse yesterday and forgot to post.  I was mid-way through today, and while at work suddenly thought, "hmmm...I don't remember posting last night.  I must have though, it's just become habit." and then I checked...and OOPS!!!  I forgot!

So here I am now and will do both!  

I kind of already consider myself 'older'.  I'm doing what I wanted to do for the most part.  At one point, when I was a little girl, I really really really wanted to be a 'gas station girl' when I grew up.  Yup. I wanted to pump gas!  I had high expectations of myself obviously!  That....and I really liked the smell of gas!  

Then I wanted to be a vet.  I love animals.  I thought it sounded great to be around puppies and kittens and hey, even dogs and cats all day.  I imagined them all happy and fun.  My spiral downward from this dreamy goal had multiple steps.  It wasn't just one thing that made me thing otherwise.  First of all, I started volunteering at the animal shelter.  Thinking I was getting a start on my volunteer hours that were required for UC Davis vet school.  I decided to volunteer in the spay/neuter clinic.  I lasted 1 day.  I went in that day...watched a dog get spayed...and literally almost passed out.  They had me sit on the floor with my head between my knees.  Needless to say I then moved up to volunteer by giving puppies baths!  I could handle that.  After that realization I realized that I wasn't the greatest at math and science.  I actually really like both subject but at the time I really started to doubt my ability in these subjects.  (Could have had something to do with my Trig and Chemistry classes I was taking at MPC at the time).  And lastly, it was pointed out to me that most animals go to the vet when they are sick or hurt!  UHM...WHAT??!!?  The thought of people bringing me their animals that were sick, hit by cars, dying, etc...yeah....next!  

Then...I decided to go into special education.  Which is exactly what I do now.  I love it most of time although believe me there are definitely days that I'm ready to just give up!  My job can be frustrating and hard...but the payback of seeing these kids that are struggling make progress is worth it.  

So now that I'm 'grown up', what do I want to be when I grow up?  I want to be a good person.  I would like to have a family of my own.  I want to be a good aunt, sister, daughter, friend.  I want to be ME.  

Day 18

Name the TV show you've become addicted to.

Just one?  Uhm...I'm a tv junky.  I love my shows...and some are pure trash tv!  

Here are few of my faves that I can think of!

Ringer

Revenge

Biggest Loser

Greys Anatomy

Teen Mom

There are TONS more but it's getting late and I'm tired and I really just can't think.  But seriously...I love my trash tv!  :-)

Last day...?

Day 16

If the world were to end tomorrow, what would you do with your remaining time on earth?

Well...I'm going to assuming I find out at 12:01 in the morning and the world will end the following day...I mean come on...give me a day.  If I went with the current time I'd have 70 minutes!  So...I have 24 hours..what would I do?  I would want to spend as much time with my family members and close friends as I could.  A lot of my close friends are not physically close...at all...so that means I would be calling all of my besties and letting them know how much I love them and am grateful for them.  I would be snuggling Mikaela and Kesara and playing with Jared and Kendall.  I mean it's totally possible that I can hold 2 babies, play Wii with Jared and with American Girl dolls with Kendall at the same time right?!?!?!  I would make sure my sisters were by my side for 23.5 of those hours...the other 30 minutes would be bathroom breaks :-)  I'm practical like that!  

So yeah...I would be with family.  We wouldn't have to be doing anything special but just being together.  I would be on the phone a lot too.  

I guess this is partly why I moved back to Salinas...life is short and you never know when it's your last 24 hours.  Make the most of it while you can. 

Fancy

Day 15

Photo of someone you currently fancy. 

Well hate to disappoint...but I truly don't 'fancy' anyone at the moment.  Sorry.  I wish I could cook up some scandalous affair so I can 'fancy' someone...but I've been too busy with work and my move to even think along those lines!  So...boring blog day...sorry!  

Crushes

Day 14

Provide pictures of 5 celebrity crushes. 

Well...I don't really have celebrity crushes but I'll post pics of celebs that I think are hot!
