Okay. I'm starting this post at 1:27 am. I can't sleep. I was tired when Lisa left. (She came over for dinner.) And now I can't sleep. I was laying in bed for over 2 hours! I finally got up and moved to the living room--the doctor recommended approach--and now I'm sitting on my couch trying to get sleepy.
Today I cleaned my apartment and spent a couple hours with my friend Amanda and her two kids. We walked to the park where little Audrey played, and then the four of us walked to the coffee shop where Amanda and I each had a drink. It was a wonderful afternoon.
Then I came home and my other friend Lisa came over. We had a fabulous dinner and watched a little Grey's.
Other plans for this weekend: HARRY POTTER! Some friends and I are going to see the new movie tomorrow afternoon. And I'm so excited!! One of the others and I are going to camp out a couple hours before the movie starts so our group can get good seats. The youngest person in our group will be 10, and the oldest is in his early to mid 60s. Quite an age span, huh? I think it's AWESOME!!
I would have been in the theatre for the midnight showing, but I couldn't get the next day off of work. So I'm going tomorrow instead, which is just fine with me!
Now, it will be almost the same thing. I'll see the movie on little to no sleep. :o(
It is now 2 am and though I am not much more tired than I was at the start of this post I should probably sign off for the night.

Sorry my life is so boring.

The beginning of Summer
The summer has started and brought some changes with it.
There has been a volume increase at work, and that means overtime. I'm not working the long hours I was in the fall, but I do go in early a few times a week if it's needed.
Since my shows have ended for the season, I have quite a bit of free time. I've spent some of that time reading. And what have I been reading? Well, I've discovered Harry Potter. It took me 3 1/2 weeks to read the entire series of books; and I'm buying tickets for the opening weekend of the new movie! So incredibly EXCITED!! The books are amazing. (I know several of you are rolling your eyes, right now, but trust me they are!) However, they do get better the further into the series you get.
My apartment has been sweltering. It seems to have little, if any insulation. I have heat, so I can turn that on in the winter, but no air conditioning. I have ceiling fans that I run almost constantly, and I open the windows when I am home, but it still is unbearable some days.
Sorry this post is so short. I'm planning to write another one this week.
Hope you all are doing well!!

Welcome!
So what's been going on with me? Well, everything and nothing, as usual.
I've spent some time catching up with old friends and making new ones, which has been great. I got to see a musical version of Emma at the Old Globe about a month ago. It was wonderful. My friend Lisa, who scored us the tickets, doesn't even like musicals and she liked it. Then I won, for the first time in my life, movie tickets on the radio. I'd been looking forward to seeing the movie for weeks, and I was so excited to win that I screamed in the guy's ear. What movie? Jane Eyre. No, you didn't read that wrong; I did say Jane Eyre. And although they missed a few points of the story I would have loved to see, the movie was great.
I volunteer at my church when I get the opportunity. And at the beginning of May, I will once again be teaching a cooking class at my church. This class will be with our Family Group and the kids and I will be making pizza!
I've been doing less baking. (It's difficult buying quality ingredients when you are on a budget. Anyone willing to donate to my baking therapy, let me know.) :o) Anyway, I'm going to have to figure something out because not baking is torture for me. For Christmas I made Peppermint Snowballs and a very delicious fruitcake. (If I do say so myself.) For my birthday, I made amazing cookies: a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cookie with chocolate chips and pecans.
I'd like to get back into developing my own recipes, particularly recipes for special diets. This has long been an area of interest for me, but I would love to spend more time exploring it.
I finally moved into my own place at the end of last year. It's a tiny little place: one bedroom, one bath, but it's all mine--no roommates. It's very cozy and I love it. It's just east of central San Diego, close to the freeways and yet very quiet.
I've got a wonderful neighbor, Rodney, who is in his 50s or 60s. and just so sweet. We exchange treats whenever we bake, and he even turned on my heat for me right after I moved in.
I am still working in the mortgage industry. Our company suffered a pretty significant round of layoffs in January, but I'm still there, and I'm very thankful for my job.
In lesser news, I'm addicted to BrickBreaker on BlackBerry. I've made it to level 12 of 34. I am determined to make it all the way through...someday. I also just finished a book by Kathy Reichs, one of the producers of Bones. The book was highly entertaining and a great read. I read it straight through in two days.
As you can see, my life isn't too terribly exciting. But if anything interesting does happen, you will find it here.
