The Daily Douz

Wow, I skipped a year in celebrating my half-birthdays. LOL. What was I thinking?!

So today I am officially 28 AND A HALF. Check me out! Yeah I’m climbin that age ladder alright. You betcha!

I’m still working for the same company, doing SEO, been here over 3 years, actually closer to the 4 year mark, live in the basement of my house still, alone, have created about 9 websites total, 6 are mine, have learned in leaps and bounds in the world of SEO and am thankful for my challenging job.

My sisters and brother are all married and have at least 3 kids each. My oldest sister has 2 more than 3. In fact, she has a daughter in college now! My parents still live in California. Um, seeing babies makes me feel baby hungry. My brother and his wife and 3 boys live in the same city that I live in so I’m thankful to be able to spend time with their family often! And they have a baby boy, who makes me baby hungry. He’s got such a huge smile and he smiles with his eyes. And my 2nd oldest sister has 2 daughters and 1 baby boy who is as cute as can be! The memorable thing about him is that while he’s in the stroller and mommy is pushing it, he’ll just sit and stare at his mommy and just smile! It’s so adorable!

I still have a deep love for music and all things creative. I haven’t played the piano in over 2-3 months and I’m getting really rusty. My house is chaos from all the Provo zoning requirements they’re throwing at us. I still care for my little hamster Olly who hides out in his house about 97% of the time. I’d really love to get either a puppy or a kitty so I can cuddle with an animal. I long for that companionship from a little furry one.

And that’s about it for my random post. I think I’ll end it with: Happy Veteran’s Day! And thanks for reading my randomness. I just wanted to announce my HALF birthday. LOL.

Alright, so I went with the fam to San Francisco this past Christmas. And I still haven’t uploaded pictures yet. I ended up taking about 300 just in SF and of Alcatraz! They turned out pretty, some of them. It was really neat to go to Alcatraz, this old island that used to house some of the biggest criminals. The buildings all seem worn out and ragged but the best part of the island is that there is beautiful plant life growing all around the treacherous buildings! I was so amazed by how beautiful some of the plants and flowers were there. They were among ruins and rubble but yet they grew proud, right in the middle of the damage. Those photos ended up being my favorite ones from the trip, so I’ll post those on here for you to see. It was really great to be with family, all my nieces and nephews! I have so many now, and the numbers are still growing. I’m very fortunate to have such a great family. They know how to give and how to love unconditionally. I don’t acknowledge that enough.

Anyway, here are some photos from our trip. Hope you enjoy.

How would you like to talk with a loved one through this small hole?

so now that it’s september, i guess i should write something huh. well things have been really busy lately for me. i’ve had family in town and other relatives in town as well. so my time has been dispersed between many different things over the long holiday weekend. it was really fun though and good to take some time away from my busy daily life of school and work. school is getting more difficult by day and i’m starting to feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done. but i’ll manage somehow. i need to succeed. and with work, i’m just worried that my income will change drastically because my hours were cut back to allow for classes and homework. i’m monetarily nervous. and i seem to get headaches more often and they don’t go away as easy as they used to, with some advil. i’m working on my other site. my boss helped me today to get it up and going with wordpress, that was way nice of him! i was so excited to see it actually starting to look like a website! now i need to figure out my own ftp thingy so i can get a theme on there, etc. ugh, the technicalities of web design. anyway, i better head towards the bed or i won’t wake up tomorrow for my long workday. tata!
