Salon Adora, a salon that is very close, carries aveda products, and seems like a fun place to work. This far I have not pursued it at all, but i plan to.
Last night Rhianon and I babysat. Rhianon hasn’t done that in a while so I let her change the diapers. This little girl was so cute! And so much fun, she was one of those happy babies. So easy to distract, and always smiling or laughing.
My mom comes out to California tomorrow, which will be fun. I am sure we will be out to some museums and on base to do some fun stuff! It will be great.
It’s rough when your sister wakes you up to do her hair, 2 hours before you get up. And then you cannot fall asleep again. So here I am writing, maybe I should gear my energy toward a book or something.

LISTENING TO NIRVANA
Today, I was goofing round with the soccer ball and managed to get it stuck in the bushes. Let me tell you, it wasn't the first time in 2 days I got it stuck in the same place. So I was nervous, it happens. This guy stepped outside and I knew he was watching me, I didn't even have to look at him to know that. It made me first want to leave, then next ask him what kind of a freak he was. But. My shy self decided not to say anything, maybe he would go away! So we accomplished that he made me nervous and that's how I landed the ball in the bushes. Hoping he wouldn't notice I tried to get it out. Then, he came over and offered to help. Then he made a funny.
"You play pro ball?" I thought, 'ha, you must not watch much soccer.' and said no. He replied, "Oh, college ball?" This time I was a little more flattered, and replied... "No, I used to play in high school." The proceeded to tell me how he came to losing his opportunities with football in his future because of decisions he had made. And stupid me, I was thinking ' you idiot, didn't you see it coming' but all I could think of to reply was, "Sucks when stuff like that happens." So I went on to playing and he withdrew to his porch again and I eventually left (taking the long way home of course so he wouldn't know where I lived.
Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to play longer w/o getting freaked out.
Good Night

USING PANERA'S CONNECTION
Wow! It's so good to be back. I just got home from babysitting Monday and it has been so nice to relax. Let me tell you, it is good birth control to babysit someone else's kids for a week straight. It was definitely fun and the kids were a blast, but it's so tiring.
Today I was playing around with the soccer ball and it turned into an hour an a half... Who knew? So, I kicked the ball so carelessly and it ended up in a huge bush 8 feet off the ground. The only way to get to it was to climb up on a dumpster shelter and crawl my way across the open roof. It was several pieces of 2 by 4 but I had to stand on the 2 inch part and there were like, 4 inches between each one. That wasn't the scary part. The scary part was that they were old and slightly mushy so I was trying to figure out the whole time whether I would rather fall in the dumpster or on the cement. However, I made it safely up, got the ball and then back down. Simply a scrape on my knee.
As for now I am tired, and my mom is coming on the 27th! That should be fun.

NAPOLEON DYNAMITE WS ON SNL!
I haven't posted in an entire 8 days! Wow, I'm sure you must feel denied by me. Now I'm back, it's so interesting how whenever people ask what I'm doing it's close to nothing. Every day is different because there is no set schedule and even better, most every day is so laid back. So, I have enjoyed my time here and I am amazed at how fast the days go by even though life isn't as uniform as it was a month and a half ago.
The other funny thing is I feel like I have been out of school for so long, but I remember all my girls there so well and miss them. I am very thrilled to touch base with them when I get home. Almost as thrilled as I am to see my great friends!
It's funny how you plan to get a job, or do this or that, or expect certain things and they turn out being totally different. I always knew never to expect or set myself up for disappointment (which is a whole other topic). Even tho I knew these things, I amazed at how fast time has flown by and this trip is much different than I expected. More in some cases than I expected.
The result of this trip has allowed me time to think and even simply notice things about who I am and what my desires are. Some things I never knew I wanted, other desires have been magnified. And some I just find don't matter and never should or will again.
What will always hold true is that Rhianon and I feel closer than we ever have and I love it. We may still be 7 years apart, but we are closer to the same point in our lives than we ever have been before... So it puts a different perspective on age for sure and almost throws it out the window all together... Until she hits 63 and I'm still 56.
The job I talked about a few weeks ago has remained a blessing and I start on Monday, I'm temporarily moving into a friends house on Sunday and I will be playing mom for a week. It should be fun, and challenging, and hard at times I'm sure, but there is nothing better than being able to hang out with kids, who have fun and are filled with a spirit that many people lose when they gain responsibilities.
until, a sooner than last, next time.
good night
