Ok, so the response to the tree was incredible. I was shocked that everyone seems to like it. So, I bought my tree at Target last year after Christmas. I think they carried it at Toys 'R Us too. It is 33.5 inches tall, it has pink, irridesecent, and snow-flakey "leaves" with a pink base. It came with 6 heart ornaments and a collectible Barbie ornament in light blue. I saw a couple on eBay yesterday, but it doesn't look like they are being sold in stores anymore. There was also a Disney … [Read more...]
Christmas at my desk!

Because we are going to be selling my house, I can't have a Christmas Tree at home. Apparently, unpacking your Christmas things to have to repack them quickly is not the smartest thing to do in the world. Go figure. So Carey at work suggested that I put a tree up at my desk. What a wonderful idea that was. I brought in my pink Barbie tree, put on some blue beaded garland, added some gifts, and there you have it! It's Gwen's Christmas Tree! I just adore it. It puts me in a good mood every … [Read more...]

As far as days go, Friday was the best day. I felt like crap, couldn't speak well, but I felt more relaxed. Maybe it was because Stephens mom had gone back to Bakersfield. Who knows. We started the day with breakfast at the Carnation Cafe on Main Street. I had Pecan Pancakes. Boy howdy were they good. We then went over to California Adventure. You know, I really like that park. When I'm feeling well. First we went to get fast passes for Tower of Terror. I thought that would be best. … [Read more...]

Apparently Stephen was too excited to sleep (doesn't account for the snoring, but whatever). He said he was up all night because he was too excited. We got ready, and were ready to leave the hotel at about 10 to 8. The park opened at 8. There was a bus outside the hotel waiting to take people to the park. I wanted breakfast. I thought Stephen was going to throw a hissey fit because we weren't going to be at the park the minute it opened. I wanted my free breakfast. He was pissed, but ate … [Read more...]

I left for DisneyLand on Wednesday. I decided to take a vacation day so that I could leisurely drive to Bakersfield and pick up Stephen at 6pm. It had been my hope that Stephen would have the day off. Hmph. He didn't. That sucked. But, as it turned out, it was fine. As soon as I got on the road, I hit traffic. I want to know how that happens! I get on the road at 1:00pm, and there is traffic. I'm thinking to myself, "Where did all these people come from?". When I finally make it to … [Read more...]

My birthday is always a hard time for me. I don't know why. Actually, I think it is because it is around Thanksgiving. Try having a birthday party on Thanksgiving weekend. It isn't fun. Honestly, I was trying to get out of having a gno party thing. I figured if I was away at DisneyLand for the gno on the 24 and planned shopping on the 1st that we really wouldn't have to deal with it. The event would just pass. Boy howdy, was I surprised when I showed up a bit late to girls night tonight. … [Read more...]

Last Wednesday the fitness center at San Jose State got 6 new eliptical trainers. They are by StairMaster. They are one of the machines that also does arms. I HATE THIS MACHINE. I hate it. It is the hardest, unmotivating machine that the fitness center was trying. Apparently, when I first got my membership, the fitness center was trying out different eliptical trainers to decide which ones to purchase. I liked two. The Precor EFX and the Life Fitness 95Xi. I would alternate between the … [Read more...]
