About me

I am a 29 year old female. One who half-heartedly believes in Chinese Astrology (I'm a sheep) and half-heartedly thinks I'm an idiot for doing so.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and have so for the past 5 years. Before that...well, for now, let's just say its in the past. I love living here: the weather's perfect 330 days of out of the year, the options for food, going out, even jobs are amazing, and there is no end to the amount of irritation I cause my family for living "outside the real world" (apparently, California doesn't count as the "real world").

I am happy most of the time...usually when I'm not thinking about my job or what I'm going to do with the rest of my life, but I have a wonderful husband and good friends and almost enough money.

I love to travel and eat, especially dessert...oh! to be able to have coconut cake EVERYDAY would be heaven! I do my best to be healthy: I'm a "pescaterian" (a vegetarian who eats fish), I exercise when I can, I don't smoke and I try not to drink TOO much. :)

For the most part, I think I'm just bored with my life. I think I spend too much of my time day dreaming about how I'd like things to be rather than just making them that way. I think to myself "I should take a creative writing class", "I should learn Spanish", "I should read more 'serious' books" and "I wish my job was more fulfilling".

But isn't that why so few of us are happy? Because we spend all of our time thinking the grass is greener rather than just enjoying what we already have? already can do? Or having the guts to take action when, in fact, the grass IS greener?

I guess that is the hope for my blog...to be able to record all the good things so that I can focus on those instead of all the not-so-perfect things. And to take action, show myself that I CAN do.

Well, here's to turning a new leaf and focusing on the positives! In fact, here is a SHORT list of all the fabulous things in my life.

- I have a job (just think of all those people out there who just got laid off!)
- I have a wonderful husband
- I have smart, caring, fun friends who love me
- I have my health

I'm sure more will come to me. :) As for now, I guess I should get back to work.
