I am going a little bit crazy here, let’s see why:
I have been traveling non stop for the last few weeks. First from Taiwan to Japan, then Japan to San Francisco, San Francisco to Las Vegas, Las Vegas to Los Angeles, Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Las Vegas to San Francisco, San Francisco to Houston, Houston to College Station, College Station to Houston, Houston to Dallas, Dallas to Crested Butte, Crested Butte to Colorado Springs, and finally Colorado Springs to Crested Butte. But wait I leave tomorrow for Las Vegas again, with my mom and our dog. Fun.
Don’t get me wrong, I love traveling, but this is a bit crazy. I also really enjoy Las Vegas when it’s a vacation, but this is an intervention. Me and my mom have to go see my saint of a sister.
And to top it off, my friends don’t love me . . . why won’t any one come visit me?! Just giving you all a hard time. You know what I really want to do, get a group of girls and go up to Vegas and see the Thunder from Down Under. hehe.

Driving to Las Vegas right now with my mom to go visit my sister for a couple of days. wishing I was living it up . . . but no, I am probably hanging out at my sister boyfriends apartment doing god knows what. I am going to pretend that I am actually staying at a casino on the strip, like the Bellagio, where I meet some nice high rollers who want to spoil me with gifts like a day at the spa and diamond earrings. Hell, I’ll take a shopping spree even . . . just something . . . please?!?!

It feels so good to be back in typical temperature conditions. It got up to 120 degrees in Vegas. That is just wacky!! It’s just not right to be in a place where it gets hot enough to be mistaken for Hell. Why in this world would a sane person live in an inferno like that? I don’t know if anyone has the answer to that.
Update on my sister: she is relocating to Fresno, CA. She can no longer stand the freak show that is called Las Vegas. Don’t blame her.
I have not done a great deal besides my little intervention in Vegas. I pretty much keep obsessing over things that I do not need to obsess over yet. For example: my future job. The fact I will be existing on my own income completely freaks me out, which I will be responsible for everything I do. This immediately does not seem right. Me in the real world. Yeow-za!

Here are some truly wonderful quotes that I adore:
“Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; love more, and all good things will be yours!” – Swedish Proverb
“I generally avoid temptation, unless I can’t resist it.” – Mae West
“Dreaming permits us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives.” – William Dement

I am soooooo happy. I have found someone to take care of my cats for me!! Can you believe it? Things really do turn out for the best in the end. And who do I have to thank for saving my life? Jimmy. Thank you so much. You are the greatest!! All I can say now is that life is good!
Update on my sister: she is not moving to Fresno because she could not get an apartment. Interesting.
I worked my butt off this morning cleaning this silly house, I know that if I did this everyday I would have a better body than Demi Moore does after all her plastic surgery.

I have been a bit busy and sluggish too write. First, I just got back from a brilliant trip to Las Vegas. My cousins are so cool! We went to the famed Studio 54. All I can say is wow. Girls dancing in cages and coming down from the ceilings in stars. I love Vegas so much. But the next time I go, my sister better be 21 or I will go with friends. My mom, cousin Jan, cousin Claire and I almost went to the Thunder from Down Under. I am so miserable that we did not go. Hot Australians in nothing but skimpy underwear…yummy!
Next, we drove from Vegas to Zion National Park then to the Grand Canyon. Wow! Words cannot describe the feelings you have when you see this remarkable location. From there we drove up through the Four Corners. I was in four states at once, not too shabby. Then we returned yesterday and I have to be the laziest person in the world.
