... I am back to work at my map job. After my 2 year lay off they asked me to come back in March. I definitely went back and forth on if I wanted to or not. I kind of felt like I was moving backwards instead of forward & map making isn't exactly what I want to be doing with my life. But it also provides the money so that I can move in the direction I want to go! Plus I'm super spoiled with my flexible schedule there and they are big supporters of travel! "It's good for you to grow and learn about other people and places!" (that's what they say) So getting time off for all my adventures is usually not a problem! Right now I'm working on Annotation but I'm switching over to US Topo once I finish this forest. All that means is that I have to go to dippy meetings now because US Topo just plain sucks! My cubical is the size of my Element. I really need to decorate it one of these days!
... I am trying to decide what to do with all this vintage soda I bought! Ha!
I don't really drink a lot of soda. The bottles were cool and some of the names were funny.
... I am patiently waiting for Bloodlines to come out in August!!!! But I have The Paris Wife, Awakened, The Succubus series (5 books), Fallen, Unearthly, The Waves, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, and the list goes on ...to keep me busy til then! I love to read!
... I just bought my summer paint by number!!! It's a 3 pack of dolphins, horses and a dog!
... I am planning a trip to Australia, Cambodia and Laos in December!! Crossing my fingers that it all works out because you never know what's going to happen between now and then! I haven't been able to travel anywhere in the fall or winter for the past 5 years due to working for the Sundance Film Festival. I'm 87% sure I won't be working there this year due to my map job. At least I have trained my successor well and I know she'll do a fabulous job in my place ,better actually! Plus I'll still get to see whatever movies I want anyway!
... I love my Tuesday Pole Pal dinner nights with FOXXY (rachel), SHOCXY (shelly), RIXXY (rina), MOXXY (sara), NOELLE AND SYLVIA! (obviously i'm roxxy!) Sometimes others join us but that's the core group!, and pretty soon, we'll all be turned into mermaids on the June 25th top model photo shoot at the Salt Flats!!!!!!!!!! I'm pretty sure they're doing if for me because I really want a group mermaid shot! They are too good to me! Love them!!! (I had to put their names in caps because some of them feel special when I mention them in my blog!)
... I recently went food truck chasing with Moxxy and Foxxy! We had the best grilled cheese sandwiches ever!!!
Foxxy, Moxxy, and a stranger!
Yumo!
They gave me a fake tattoo because I'm Roxxy! Ha, it lasted 2 weeks. I kind of miss it!

But.... when it gets warm the tape kind of gets sticky and it's peeling off parts of the bag! I'm not sure it if will make it the whole summer.
... I love spoiling my nieces Olivia and baby Rose! We love going to Orange Leaf frozen yogurt, watching iCarly, and Marlia (A Mermaids Tale)!! Olivia always says, "We're having a wild time aren't we?" or "'I can come pick you up from dance class!" Too cute! I'd spoil the other nieces and nephews if they lived here! but they don't! too bad for them!
Olivia is crazy!
Baby Rose is cute but don't be fooled, the kid cries all the time!

Baby Rose is cute but don't be fooled, the kid cries all the time!... The simplest things inspire me! Love this picture. Can't wait to go to this magical cloud forest in Costa Rica someday!
... I am making good progress on my goals that I want to accomplish during my 30th year! I only have 3: One is to build up enough strength for my signature pole move! It's a bit crazy. I haven't seen anyone else actually do it so far & I just hope it doesn't rip my shoulders off, ahahahaha! Guess we'll find out! I'm about 13% there. My second is still kind of a secret for now but I promise it won't disappoint! At least Savvy and Britt will be happy once it's done since I've been working on it for the past 5 years and recently started over! And the last is... I'm getting my breast reduction!!!! Hopefully in July. I had my consult this week and I'm just waiting for my claim to the insurance company to process!

... I am always wishing and dreaming...."Wherever you are right now is important. I like the idea of wherever you are, love where you're at because it starts there. You have to start by saying: "Yes, I love me where I am with all my addictions and limitations, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's where I am going to be tomorrow. It just means that I like me where I am now. You can't go on until you make that statement. If I had a single wish in the world and a magic wand, I would wave it over everybody and have you say, and have you believe, "I like me wherever I am right now, right this minute. I'm great!" ~ Leo F Buscaglia
