Random Happiness
I bought a ridiculous shirt and I am so excited! My friend brought this to my attention about a couple years ago but finally it went on reprint and I happened to snag the last shirt, I just hope that I didn't order to big. Hooray for Threadless!
Other news, some good friends of mine decided they did not want their television any more and happened to ask us if we wanted it. So now I have a flat much lighter TV. My gent is excited, I am excited at the fact that we don't wont have to move a heavy beast when we move again. So Salvation Army came and took my old TV away, it was bittersweet and relieving. I am trying my hardest to get rid of things I just don't need or haven't even touched in years. I want to simplify my life, now if I could only convince my gent. Anyways, I hooked up the TV and stereo, then discovered I have crazy channels I never knew of! I have the weather channel in 3 different formats, travel channel, and some kind of Chinese station! Yay! Now I have a radio or some way to have louder music! Oh how I missed listening to music while I am eating or while my gent is away.
My new way of eating is doing pretty good, I just need to find some more awesome yummy veggie recipes.
Speaking of eating I better go and masticate before I go to work and school.
One more side note. I have added a Audio section to my website and soon more photos! But I will blog more about that over there @ shotbyLiz.

Anxiety on the rise.
For the last 3 months, I believe have been incredibly challenging for me. I also have not been as happy as I once had been. I get how life has ups and downs to endure and understanding and getting through is what it's all about. I feel very apologetic to my friends as of late. I am constantly apologizing for things I can't control or just even my moods. I know people don't want to be around someone who is just down on their luck or even hear about it. Two things happen to me during this time, I want to be around people so I feel better and I want to be alone so I don't effect or drag someone down.I am down because of the necessary evil, that is money. I made some poor choices in my young adult life and now I feel as if things are pilling up. I really don't want to go into bankruptcy... I can't even afford someone to help me with that. It's truly amazing how having a job and steady income can help alleviate that, but in my case it will only help me just scrape by. I am afraid of a couple things right now and as hard as I been trying to take a stand to fix them, I feel frustrated and even more disconcerting then last week. I want to be able to sign this new lease with confidence that I am able to keep living in my place. I really REALLY don't want to work retail but right now it's looking more like I have to. Places like Rite Aid and JCPenney have ruined it for me. Perhaps if I didn't end up working for a big corporation I could handle it a little more or as my friend said, "Something a little more specialized". I think I could handle specialized kind of places like a book store or a flower store, because then even if I got paid just barely enough to exist then all my hard work won't be in vein to some where I strongly dislike, but rather a place that is pleasant and fun to work in such as the yoga studio.
I am kind of tired of working really hard and barely scraping by. Hopefully school will indeed help me out in getting out of this funk I have been stuck in for 3 years and get me on the track I have always strife for and that is financially sound and independent.

Getting Fresh
Hellllloooooo Amazon Fresh!
Me and my mister decided to try out Amazon Fresh for our grocery needs this week. Let me start out with a link to their site and tell you that they use Amazon's information but they are an independent grocer. What made us want to try this out is that we have been seeing trucks around for years. I thought it was going to be expensive but I would say that it is very comparable to Safeway, QFC, and Whole Foods. We always need to get groceries during the week and we usually wait until my Mister's weekend, by that time we don't really want to go do that because we want to relax or have fun, not shop for groceries. Another thing is, we tend to do frequent little shopping during the week, I believe that if we cut that back we will have a little more money in our pockets. My boss told me how she would recommend it for the produce because they seem to have good deal most of the time, so my Mister and I checked it out. Kind of leary of how all this was going to go down, we started to browse their items and discovered how it was kind of fun and convenient to just search online and add to your cart. What was also cool is you could choose the time you wanted them to come to your home. My Mister placed the order at 3am and we got our stuff at 7pm the same day. I guess if you order before 1pm you can get your order same day say like 3pm or 8. Well they arrived at 7:10, we quickly lunged towards the door when we heard the truck pull up. We were as excited at getting an awesome package in the mail. The driver was very courteous and told us his name was Darrel. He gave us fresh flowers as our gift for getting our first order with Amazon Fresh. We were very happy with the service and all the veggies looked good along with our eggs all in tact, I say we would definitely do this again. :) We will still frequent Joe's as well. But this was definitely a very cool experience in having your groceries delivered to the door.Saturday, January 1, 2011
New Year
2010 has come and gone. The year was very mixed.... lack of funding made it bad, but finding great friend made it great. What will this year have in store for me? I am hoping a vast improvement from the last 4 years. You might ask "Why this year Liz?", "What makes this year more promising?". Well for one, I am on my last quarter of my Associates and I am pretty damn proud of myself! I would like to go for my BA but I lack the funding for now, but anyways, I think I am awesome and someone will finally heed my call! Perhaps I should get my tarot read.. I have been thinking about it a lot as of late. I need all the advice I can get! Second, I look forward to having my parents finally coming out to WA to see me. Some other things fall into play, such as, conventions coming up. Not so sure why I am so excited this year, unlike the past, but man I am ready to just go and be a geek as things are turning into spring. Spring is by far one of my favorite seasons up here (along with Autumn).And thirdly, I have a part-time job to start the year off right. I get to do yoga whenever I am available to take advantage of the classes, so, hopefully I will have better health in 2011. Oh and finally! I tried to eat lucky food today. Usually I am not into that belief but why not give it a go and just see eh? ;)
So here is to hoping for a better chance of wealth and health!
Resolutions? Hmmm...
I would say, I want to read more and travel this year. I would like to read one book and month and just travel around and do some cool events, such as, cheesefest, teafest, and something with vikings. ;)
What about you dear reader? What is a resolution you have?
