No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Eleanor Roosevelt

i really love that quote and should take it to heart more often. it's so true, and once you realize it, you can change your perspective about whatever situation you're dealing with. hopefully, for the better. :)

i had such a great dinner last night. i went out to the city with teesta, kae, erik, and some of teesta's friends. we went to chapeau!, which was a really nice french bistro. we started with lots of wine and erik and i shared the prime rib. it was beyond fantastic!! they brought out a huge slab of meat, and cut it in front of everyone. hee hee!! it came with 4 sauces that were very yummy, and mashed potatoes and green beans. seriously, i'm always about mashed potatoes and green beans...which was the reason why i ordered it!! i was a very full and happy netties after such a wonderful meal. when my pants refuse to fit me this week, i'll know why...

after that, we went to some club. i did a lot of walking in sf without shoes. maybe not the greatest idea, but i had no idea we were walking across half the city or i might not have worn my silver heels. anyway, that was fun for a bit, but it was so hot inside, like the heater was turned on. there was some good music, but i was definately full of food and ready to hit the hay. i think this sort of verifies that i'm not a city girl. well, not full time at least!! i know i can go out and have a good time, but just not several times a week. i'm much more content with a bowl of popcorn and a dvd. :)

i am really pumped for the sunshine that has finally decided to make an appearance!! thank you!! hopefully the weather keeps up so next saturday when we go to the a's game for my birthday, we have a fantastic time!!

i scream, you scream, we all scream for free cone day!!

this was one of my favorite days in davis!! i never minded standing in line for free ice cream. it was always a treat to grab right before college life. if you're smart, you'd request a waffle cone (only costing you a dollar) and they'll put more free ice cream in it.

oh my goodness...what are you waiting for?? go grab some yumminess!! :)

One last kiss one only
Then I'll let you go
Hard for you I've fallen
But you can't break my fall
I'm broken don't break me
When I hit the ground

Some devil some angel
Has got me to the bones
You said always and forever
Now I believe you you baby
You said always and forever
Is such a long and lonely time

Too drunk and still drinking
It's just the way I feel
It's alright
Is what you told me
Cause what we had was so beautiful
Feel heavy like floating
At the bottom of the sea

You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Is such a long and lonely time

Some devil is stuck inside of me
Why can't I set it free
I wish, I wish I was dead and you were grieving
Just so that you could know
Some angel is stuck inside of me
But I cannot set you free

You said always and forever
Now I believe you baby
You said always and forever
Such a long and lonely time

Stuck inside of me (some devil, dave matthews)

you would think a weekend that included a bit of sunshine, manis and pedis, and lunch with the girls would be such a refreshing and relaxing change for me. it wasn't though, it was you. and i thank you for that.

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang (everlong lyrics, foo fighters)

howdy kids!! so are you loving the sunshine or what?? part of me misses the rain. as you can tell from a few posts ago...hee hee!! the sun does feel wonderful and is going to be great for the flowers i planted a few months ago. time to bloom!! not a whole lot is new with me. i'm just working and totally enjoying it. i love the people i work with, what i do, and the fact that i can wear whatever i want. can i get an amen?? :)

i was looking through frozenreality.co.uk and found this cute comic. :)


and last, but certainly not least hockey news!! jonathan cheechoo has been awared the maurice "rocket" richard trophy as top goal scorer in the nhl!! holy cow!! i find it midly amusing that i post about my favorite teams and players now and again. i feel like lately, cheech has taken over my blog. :) but i am so happy for him, and i'm super stoked that he won it. i have been watching him for a few years, and it's great to see how he's grown and learned so much in a short amount of time considering there was no season last year.

in related news, joe thornton won the art ross trophy as scoring champion. i bet i would have won that in high school for water polo since i either scored or had an assist on every goal we had. too bad nobody took stats on assists for the girls team. BOOOOOO!! hahahhaahhaha, i'm not bitter or anything. :) oh, and kiprusoff (former shark!!) got the william jennings trophy as best goaltender (fewest goals against). i kept telling everyone that sj does not want to play calgary in the playoffs!! kipp is a monster!! anyway, as you can tell, i'm an excited gal because hockey playoffs are here. WOOHOO!! now it's just time to score some tickets...

although the sharks didn't have a victory for their last regular season home game, i had a fun time!! as i was walking through the front doors with erik, we noticed a lot of guys in nice suits standing to the workers who were handing out hats for fan appreciation day. erik turned to me and said, "is that jamison??" i stood on my tippy-toes, and was so surprised to see the president and ceo of the sharkies standing there!! once we got in, i walked right towards him and he shook my hand with both of his hands. i told him that i was very impressed with what he's done with the sharks organization, and that i hope the sharks do well in the playoffs!! i think he was impressed, because not too many people around us knew who he was. hee hee. and, i had my cute sharkie-head on, so i was like sharks super fan. hahahahahahhah!!

also, i talked with erik about luc robitaille and the sharks organization possibly mentioning that it was his last game. i'm sooooo happy that they took time before the game to honor him. i'm very proud of the sharks fans who gave him a standing o, followed by "luuuuuuuuuuc" chants. :) he's an amazing player, and even though he plays for a rival team, he's not a punk, so he's respected. after the game, i was almost brought to tears when the sharks players lined up and each took a moment to shake his hand. what a classy way to end an outstanding career.

i'm a little sad the sharkies lost...especially because they didn't score any points!! there's always a lot of energy in the building for fan appreciation day, but alas, there was no gary glitter to sing along to. i was also a little disappointed that i didn't get a cheech autograph last night. he was maybe the last guy to come out of the players parking lot, and i was pretty tired at that point. i was tired from work, it being a monday, and knowing i had to wake up early the next day for more work. he finally drove out, and all these little teenagers were screaming at him. and i'm not talking about regular screaming, i'm talking about haunted house, somebody's going to kill you type of scream. the high pitched crap that makes you want to rip someone's hair out. i'm pretty sure those dorks scared him off. and, it looked like his family was with him so i'm sure he just wanted to get home and hang out. drats. maybe another day!!

well, now it's playoff time, and i'm hoping the sharks get some rest and get pumped for nashville and whoever's after that!! go sharkies!!

3 is my lucky number (like you couldn't tell from my netters hockey jersey). i always thought that hat tricks were like my special little celebration. i was wrong. cheechoo likes em more than i do.

i want the count to help us with yesterday's win!!



one goal!! aaahahahahahaha!!


two goals!! aaahhahahahahaha!!


three goals!! hat trick celebration time!! aaahahahahahaha!!


maybe 3 is his lucky number. :)

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darlin' it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darlin' it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darlin' the smiles returning to their faces
Little darlin' it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darlin' I feel the ice is slowly meltin'
Little darlin' it seems like years since it's been clear
Here come the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Here come the sun, here comes the sun
It's all right, it's all right (here comes the sun, the beatles)

as most of you know, i loooove the rain!! the last few months in the bay area has had some record rain, and people are seriously freaked out about it!! i remembered like the first day i was home, it was pouring in sf, just pouring, and people were like, "omg, what do i do??" i sort of giggled and explained that i had been living in vancouver, and that i must have brought the rain with me. i sort of stopped saying it after a few days because people were getting pretty annoyed with the nonstop wetness.

all anyone ever talks about now is the rain. i get on bart, and someone turns and talks to me about how their shoes are ruined from the rain. didja think to check the weather report?? it's only been nonstop raining for the last few months, foolio. i get on a bus, and again, strangers talk to me about how they're going to build a ark like noah. there's even commercials on the radio for OSH about the rain. they're offering a sale for certain items on every day that it rains. good luck with that, OSH.

well, for all your complainers in the bay area, i want to finally quiet you. i was in vancouver for all of january and february. then, i was in the bay area in march. i want you to see how much rain i've had to deal with. and, i know the graphic says seattle, but seattle rain is also vancouver rain, so get over it. :)

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your hand.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer and when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow. (goodbye my lover, james blunt)

i am soooo in love with james blunt. i could repeat this song all day.

there was the most beautiful rainbow out during the sunrise this morning!! it was great because it was raining in the distance, and the sky was purple, pink, and orange. it looked like one giant yummy bowl of rainbow sherbet!! then in the distance, there was a rainbow that looked wider than usual. it was really stretched and made me smile and not pay attention to the road as i was driving. ekkkks!!

in other news, the sharkies clinched a playoff spot!! now it's a waiting game to see who they play. i'm going to at least one more sharks game this year. we'll see if i'm lucky enough to get playoff tickets. monday's game should be fun times since it's fan appreciation day. add another "BEAT LA" towel to my collection.

and i just read an article talking about how we, as americans, need to "brace ourselves" at the thought of paying $3.00 for gas this summer. looking outside of my office, there's a chevron across the street, and it's $3.00 already. crap. i didn't brace myself for that. am i going to mutate or something??

who is the happiest shark ever?? oh yeah, this guy...



i love how his celebrations are so much fun, yet not "ha-ha, in your face!!" it's great how fans can become more excited about goals just by watching him go nuts. horray for the sharks!!

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause Ill never be with you.

Yes, she caught my eye,
As I walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause Ill never be with you.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel, with a smile on her face,
When she thought that I should be with you.

But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you. (you're beautiful, james blunt)

do you ever hear songs like this and wonder who the lucky girl is?? i do, and i think it's so amazing that things like this happen and the other person has no idea. how awesome it would be to be someone's muse.

i am so sick right now. i didn't even want to paint my toenails today which is like one thing that makes me so very happy. my head feels like it's on fire since i have a fever, and the rest of me is freezing. my skin hurts so much, i don't like laying down. i must be the sickest girl ever.

the only cool thing right now is that i can hear the rain outside which sounds delightful. i'll just focus on that and try to fall asleep...

Gravedigger
when you dig my grave
could you make it shallow
so that I can feel the rain (gravedigger, dave matthews)

i am so happy that the rain follwed me from vancouver. it's been lots of fun to have so many days of rain in march!! here's a lame graphic from sfgate.com letting you know how much the bay has had.
