Weekend Recap

Hey, I am getting better. It's only Tuesday and I am already publishing my weekend recap. I headed home to Vegas on Wednesday after work. I was exhausted from Cabo and really needed a vacation (haha, cough, cough). After a seven hour drive!, I safely arrived home to the city of sin. We headed out to 80's night at the Suncoast. I was stoked. What I thought would be a great night turned out to be crazy. The security officers at the Suncoast thought I was using a fake id, which happens from time to time since it is a California id. I explained to them that I was 24 and they still flipped out on me. 10 security guards escorted me downstairs where they preceded to put me in handcuffs. I began laughing because I knew there was nothing I could get in trouble for, but I think this pissed them off even more. They took my mug shot, dragged me outside in front of everyone, and decided they would 86 me from the Suncoast and all Coast casinos. Just great! I was being a smart ass by this time because the situation was so comical to me and my friend Sara. I told the guy he should brush up his id skills, bitched to them about not being able to eat Christmas dinner at the excellent buffet they have, and ranted and raved about how horrible it was to not be able to return to this 5-star establishment. This did not make them happy but it sure gave me and Sara a great laugh. So if you plan on heading to any Coast casinos in Vegas, I will not be able to accompany you. Thank the lord for these great situations that make my life so worth living.

My dad got a great kick out of the whole story. He told me I should head down to the Suncoast and press charges for kidnapping. Haha. It was the highlight of our Thanksgiving dinner the next day. We had a wonderful dinner and really enjoyed our family time together. My sister and I headed to our annual Roadrunner tradition of having all the friends meet up at the bar and hang out. It was so so fun. Here is the only picture I took, which came out really dark....

Friday the funniest thing happened. I seriously crack myself up at times. I woke up and bitched and complained about going to this wedding I had to attend. I was upset since it was the first wedding I would be attending solo, one since I did not have a bf and two because I was not invited with a guest. I finally dragged myself out of bed with my sister and her friend James and preceded to get ready for the wedding. I drove to the church, got there and looked around and noticed there were no other cars. I pulled out the invitation and realized the wedding was the next day. I drove home laughing for like an hour and got to the house and continued to laugh with them for a while. I am so so dumb sometimes. We went to my mom's for Thanksgiving dinner that night and finally watched the Divinci Code. Good movie but the book is so so much better.

Saturday I relaxed, got ready for the wedding (in a better mood that day) and went to the wedding. I was glad it was a day later than expected. The bride looked gorgeous and I enjoyed myself. Everyone else at the wedding was either with a date, in a relationship or married so it was a little awkward at times.

During one slow song, I got up and headed to the bar for a drink. I sat down around the time the song was ending and the next song that came on was....You are no one till somebody loves you. Great, just great. Everyone looked at me and we all starting laughing. It was too funny!!

After the wedding, I met my sister at the Red Rock Hotel and Casino for some fun party time and to catch up with friends from high school. I enjoyed myself and had a great time at Buffalo Wild Wings later. Gosh I love that joint.

After a seven and a half hour trip home, I was exhausted. Today, all this traveling and partying finally caught up with me. I am so so sick. I could barely get out of bed this morning but had to drag my ass to work because I am so behind from all this vacation. Argh. I hate being sick.

We took some really cute family pics for our Christmas cards. This one is my favorites of my siblings and me...

We also took some that should not be sent to family....

Hope the beginning of your holidays were wonderful!!!!

BTW-How do you like my new darker hair. I dyed it dark for the winter. Everyone seems to love it better so I say, run with it!!

The Apology Letter

So the Cabo jerk found my myspace page and wrote me an apology letter. Nice thought. At least the kid has a conscience. He explained he couldn't stop thinking about it and felt really bad. He needed to apologize. Great. Too bad you already hurt my feelings. Anyways, I am moving along. That chapter is closed in my life. And I keep on, keeping on.....

Something entertaining I thought you might enjoy. This guy might be on to something. Visit the following link and have fun laughing at this neat idea. Man I wish all guys would have a website like this. It would make it so much easier to decide if I should date them or not.

SETTLE FOR BRIAN

Hope you all had a good turkey day. I will update you on my vacay home to Vegas tonight. Until then...

I'm Back And Left My Liver In Cabo

I'm back. And everything hurts. My kidneys and liver hate me. I drank more than I thought I ever could. Cabo was gorgeous. It was nice spending time with my sister and friends and the boys took great care of us. They were amazing. Alex and Mike have a nice place in Cabo.

This was the view from the living room. Amazing...

This is what I woke up to every morning.....

We arrived on Wednesday and went straight to The Office, a bar right on the water. We got plastered and went swimming in the amazingly blue ocean. We went back to the house around 6pm to get ready for dinner and to hit the town. We went to Squid Row, which became one of our favorite places. We also went to Cabo Wabo a lot. Jello shots, alcohol and free drinks for ladies spelled out drunken fun.

Here is the aftermath...
We slept in for a little while and headed back to The Office for a day of adventure. We took a water taxi and went snorkeling off of Lover's Beach, a beach between the rocks. It was so so cool. I saw tons of cool fish and some eels. We then went parasailing. That was even more fun than I thought. I was so relaxing and beautiful.

We ate dinner at a bar on the water and headed home to get ready. We went out to Cabo Wabo and met this awesome group of guys. There were 27 of them in from Colorado for a vacation, minus their wives. Only a few were actually not married. We ended up hanging out with them for the rest of our time in Cabo. They were all so nice and fun. We danced, drank, sang, drank and partied till the wee hours of the night. We went surfing the next day, did a few drinking contests and my sister caused craziness. Great memories. The rest of the days all run together. I honestly did not even know what day it was. Here are more pics of the trip....

How beautiful is Cabo...

We won every drinking contest....
Part of our fun crew....

Here it goes for another random and interesting story in the life of Jen. So one of the guys, Dennis, told me he knew of the perfect guy for me. He introduced me to B, who was honestly awesome. He was tall, 6'4, dark hair, 25 years old, handsome, fun and really sweet. We ended up hanging out the whole time together. We even went to dinner together on Saturday night. We went on the booze cruise, and talked until 6am one morning about everything, from growing up to life to how we think of life and our futures. This guy really started getting me emotionally involved. He totally fucked with me. On Saturday night at Cabo Wabo, it was all thrown in my face. This random girl came up to Alex and said, "Did you know your friend is talking to a married man." Alex got really pissed, walked over to B and asked him straight out. B started stalling, making up excuses and ended up storming out of the bar. Dennis admitted to us he was MARRIED. What the hell? I asked him three times if he was since he was on vacation with a ton of work buddies that were all married and older. What a dog!!

This was so depressing to me. I swear I have the worst luck with men. Even in different countries. I understand we were in Cabo but I thought (obviously was blind) that me and him were really connecting. I must be blind. Why do I keep attracting these horrible men? Do you think it could be me? I am really starting to wonder.

Cabo...Here I Come

I leave for Cabo tomorrow morning. I have never been so excited about a trip in my life. I need this vacation so so bad. I will take way too many pictures and post them when I get back. Until then....

Raiders Game and A Little SF

I went up to San Francisco with my ex and his friends to watch the Raiders play the Broncos. I ended up having a really good time, a lot better than I originally thought. I landed on Saturday morning in Oakland and of course my bag was the last bag off the plane. I think they even held it for a few minutes to make me sweat. Oh well. Matt picked me up and we headed to Pier 39 to take a boat tour and sight see. San Francisco is so amazing. There is such a great mixture of people and things to do. We ate lunch at Sams in Tiburon, a little city near SF. My college roommate is from there, although we missed each other this trip. Tiburon is like Pleasantville, with little streets and everyone walking around, saying hi and wearing a smile.

we went out on Saturday night to Suite 8181. It was a blast, but I drank way too much. I think it was to calm the nerves of me being in SF with my ex and all his guy friends. My sister was supposed to come but she backed out at the last minute. Matt ended up having to throw me in a cab at the end of the night and take me home early. Pretty funny if you ask me. We woke up early the next day to get to the tailgate early. I was so incredibly hung over that I was considering death instead of dealing with the nausea and headache. After In-N-Out, I felt better but we ended up drinking beers in the sun all day at the tailgate. Ouch.

The game was fun but the Raiders suck, I mean lost. They are such a frustrating team to follow. They were rocking at the beginning of the game and pretty much handed it to the Broncos at the end with two fumbles near the Broncos 10 yard line. After a long car ride home to the OC, I finally got to bed around 2 am. I have been hurting all day and can't stop thinking about my bed. It seems like a viable option at this point instead of trying to accomplish anything I need to get done tonight. I leave for Cabo on Wednesday morning and somehow have to pack tonight since I am going to Knotts Berry Farm after work tomorrow. I am loving this busy life but it is exhausting. At least I will have some more interesting stories to tell. I will hopefully get some pics of the game on here tonight. For now, I am going to try and get some work done before I lay my head on my desk and take a quick cat nap.

Jackhammer

Work is killing me. Slowly. It is sucking out my soul. My boss fired another girl on Monday morning. She had to walk out in tears and clean out her desk with everyone watching. Is that normal office procedure? I thought bosses normally fire someone on Friday afternoon so most of the poeple are gone and they don't go on a crazy rampage. I feel so bad for the girl that got fired. Our boss told her a lot of things that weren't true, and she seemed so upset about the whole thing. She is also in the middle of planning a wedding. Life can be so cruel.

Of Life and Men

I am an over analyzer. It is my nature, but it bugs the living shit outta me. I wish at times I could just quit over thinking EVERYTHING and just live my life. I wish I could be one of those people that can just shrug everything off and not worry about it. This over thinking causes a fair share of anxiety, as well as these problems constructed in my head that never actually take place. It has been taking place a lot lately since there is so much on my brain about my future and my life. I think this is normal for a 20-something, but for them to just analyze everything might actually make them go insane. It has been most recently around the idea of the men I have been choosing to date.

Cute boy and I have been hanging out. He is nice and pretty intelligent, but he seems to be meatheadish in more ways than one. And he is another flake. I am beginning to wonder why I attract flakes. This has caused a massive amount of me analyzing the people who I am attracting lately, and I can't figure it out. 'A' ended up being a huge flake, but I recently found out he is back together with his ex. That makes me happy since it was obviously not me, but the fact that he was still head over heels for her. I was able to move along quickly. There is no excuse for cute boy. Again I was stood up over a Raider game during Monday night football. That is two times, and for crying out loud the Raiders have only played in two Monday Night Football games. We were supposed to watch the game together at either his friends or the local sports bar, but I received no phone call or anything yesterday. I received a text message after half time asking me if I got off work yet. Yes, mother f*cker, I told you I would be home by 5:45 and you could pick me up then. It is now 7:30 pm. He then told me he was helping his roommate since he is not doing so good after a recent breakup. That is fine, but next time, LET ME KNOW WHEN PLANS FALL THROUGH. Have men really lost their manners this much? All it would have taken was a phone call, but he did not have enough respect for me to do that. This is where I move on quickly. I am already over, just still pissed off that again I picked a flakey one.

The sad thing is I have now been single for eight months. Eight whole months. I gave myself tons of time to mourn the old relationship, fix some things with myself and really establish a friend base. I am finally happy, and really happy. Not fake happy, where you put on a smile and try to fool people. I am happy. The only thing that bugs is this bullshit OC dating scene. Guys have no manners, honestly don't get it and are so stuck up and rude that I wonder if I will ever meet a quality guy here. No, I am not giving up, but I have honestly considered moving. I know I am still young but I would love to settle kind of young cause I want to have some babies while I am fairly young.

In other news, I had a great weekend. My friend Carlos was in town and we honestly had a blast together. On Friday night, we went out with friends in Huntington. On Saturday morning, we got up and went surfing. Carlos has never surfed before and it was rough!! The waves were like a washing machine because of the wind, but he is a soldier and did not give up. Saturday day was spent on the couch watching college football and napping since we were exhausted. Carlos went on a date Saturday night with one of my friends and I joined a group of friends for a girl's night out at Woodys in Newport. It was a blast. On Sunday, Carlos and I went hiking with my friend JC. It was the most beautiful sunset EVER. I think that might be the only thing I like about winter/fall.

It's About Damn Time!! Britney Getting Divorced!!

BREAKING NEWS

Britney Spears filed for divorce Tuesday from rapper-dancer Kevin Federline, officials said.

The Los Angeles County Superior Court filing cites “irreconcilable differences,” said court spokeswoman Kathy Roberts.

Her petition asks for legal and physical custody of their two sons, one-year-old Sean Preston and two-month-old Jayden James.

Spears gives the date of separation as Monday, the same day she showed off her post-pregnancy body during a surprise appearance on “Late Show with David Letterman.”

Spears, 24, married Federline, 28, in 2004. Rumors of marriage woes have dogged the couple almost from the start.

This was Spears' second marriage. She wed childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander in January 2004 in Las Vegas. That marriage lasted 55 hours.

Federline has two other children with former girlfriend Shar Jackson.

On Monday, a judge threw out Spears' libel suit against celebrity magazine Us Weekly. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lisa Hart Cole ruled that the pop star cannot be defamed by published rumors that she and Federline had made a sex tape and were worried about its release.

Weekend Recap on Wednesday

I know. Leave me alone. I am late.

Sorry I have been MIA. I could lie and say I was too lazy to write but I have not just been sitting on my ass folks. I have been so busy, but I am lovin it. Friday night I went to a costume party with cute boy I met. Cute boy turned out to be a blast. We hung out with his friends and I even helped his best friend make a K-Fed outfit. They were so much fun to hang out with, and cute boy seemed really into me. Yeah!! I am going to keep my excitement contained for now though. You never know.

Saturday I went to the wine tasting on the roof of the Staples Center. It was so so much fun. They had tons of different wines and such a great crowd. I also got a glass of OPUS ONE, which is my dad's favorite wine but always way too expensive to actually drink. Here is a pic from the event....


Saturday night, we decided to drive back into Newport and go to this huge costume party. Yes, that is where I met the dicks you see below. My friend Adrianna posted the funniest comment on my myspace page under that picture reading.....I don't know if you should hang out with these guys jen. They seem like big dicks. Classic. I got pretty trashed on Saturday night, had a really good time and called cute boy to pick me up at the end of the night.

Sunday morning was cure my hangover day. I decided to go hiking with my friend JC Sunday afternoon. We went to Lake Forest and went hiking on Holy Jim Falls. It was so so pretty and a really great escape from the craziness of life lately. I really needed it. JC was awesome and he is becoming a really dear friend to me. I love how random people you never expect to be friends with become those most dear to your heart. Here are some pics of me on the hike....yeah right, if blogger would let me post them.

Last night, aka Halloween, I went to a house party with my coworker E and then we headed over to Blue Beet for some 80s night dancing. I had the time of my life, and I was a third wheel. Funny huh? What a great weekend that filtered into an awesome Halloween.

Update:
I hate blogger sometimes. It never lets me post pictures, and it always takes an eternity to get the ones I actually do post up! Argh!!!

Rath of Hell

Normally I don't bitch about work. I just get up everyday, put on a happy face and go tackle the day. Today I was shot in the ass. I am furious about it. I try to keep quiet and just do my job, which I think I accomplish pretty well. That did not work today. Here goes the random shitty story....Last night I got the go-ahead from both my mother and my sister for the Cabo trip. My mom is helping get me a discount on the flight from Phoenix to Cabo, and my sister is officially going. Woo hoo! I was stoked. I was planning on putting in my vacation time towards the end of the day today. Around 11 am, we received an email from the boss about a company retreat coming up. It happened to fall on the Friday I was going to be gone. I kindly let my boss know, and asked if maybe we could reschedule it on a Monday or another Friday. Normally, a boss would be like sure, since there are only seven people at the company and we would like you to be there, we can do that. Not my boss. She blew her lid. Quietly. Well, maybe not. She huffed and puffed and just about blew our building over. I tried to go in and talk to her, but that just got me the icy attitude. Not good. I felt horrible. Cancel the trip? Not cancel the trip? Thoughts racing through my head (and they were not visions of sugarplums). My boss canceled the retreat via email. I felt bad but then I thought...why do I have to cancel my trip when I have earned this vacation? My co-worker was in the background thanking me because she could not do the afternoon part of it either. Now I feel like I am in the dog house. Should I sleep on the couch tonight? Should I move my desk into the hall? Have any of you ever worked for a crazy boss like this? Help.
