I officially know a Major Leaguer!!!

Ok so after not knowing his fate, or my best friend Summer's fate, it is official! Erick Threets is now a member of the SF Giants (only my favorite team!)

He was in the minors for about 7 years and this year would mark the end of his contract, so we heard rumors he might be traded, which would mean one of my best friends would have to move to some faraway yucky place.

Thankfully, that didn't happen. He was called into the office yesterday before the final Exhibition Game and told he was signed. I am so glad, what a huge accomplishment! I am very proud to say I know him personally and he is a great guy, and a hard throwing lefty.

I am excited for Summer and Erick as they embark on the new chapter in their life..... they are expecting a little one in 5 or 6 months as well : )

Wedding Bells are ringing... loudly in my ears, for everyone close to me

Justine, Devon, Daniela, Emily L, Meagan, Shannon, Summer

Not to mention those of my friends ALREADY married for a year or more Gina, Kaitlin, Kristin

These are all people who have gotten married or engaged in the past year or so. Craziness!

I feel as though I am going to be the last one out of everyone to get married, and I don't know why but my clock just seems to be ticking loudly in my ear. I think about when it will happen, and if I will be 30 by the time I walk down the aisle (GOD I hope not!)

Am I the only one feeling this way?

Ranting and Raving- Topic: Money, or lack of Money....

Ok so today folks, I am bitter. (sorry if anyone at my work happens to read this!)

I want to know why, why, why, do I only make $32,000 a year? How is someone supposed to live on that amount of money? I'll tell you how- by having well-off parent swho are able to pay your car payment and car insurance while you pay all of your wages to transportation and rent.

I have to wait a full year for a raise that is not going to amount to anything with the way inflation has increased dramatically. We get anywhere from 3-5 % which is nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just needed to vent, and for the record, I know I should be making way more because I have a degree, have a lot of varied work experience, and because I am dependable!

Things that make me happy

My screwy start to my day today

Ok so why is it that I always forget something?
Today started by waking up to my alarm, then falling back asleep only to hear the annoying alarm again.
I decided I was quite groggy and I should make some coffee. I couldn't find filters anywhere, so I used a paper towel. I made my coffee just how I like it, complete in a travel mug, and what do I do? I go off and leave it very conveniently on the counter along with my cell phone!!!

BUT WAIT.... it gets a little better.

I start to park my car on the street near BART and I scrape my wheel very badly on the curb, only to find out I can't park there because of street cleaning.

Work passes by with no other incidents, but I get home to find my cloth bag chewed up by D and my phone has teeth marks in it, which he got off the table and munched on! You would think it was Monday or something!

New Apartment, new dog, what more do I need? A new bf? No mine is perfect for me!

Thank you Kaitlin for getting me started on my very own blog!

As you all know, Tony and I moved into a smaller than small 480 sq ft studio back in December, but since then we have moved literally across the hall into a one bedroom as of the middle of Feb. It's so much more comfortable, not having to eat, sleep, shower and pee in the same room for the most part.

Also, in January, I got a 2nd doggy for Snapple to play with. His name is Dustin(he came with that name, I know it's dumb!). He is a mix between a Shepherd, and god knows what else.
