I am SO glad that I am finished with graveyard shifts, at least for this week. The person I'm working for is still out with the flu so anything is possible for next week...

Came home and crashed for a few hours then ended up at Fab Hot Dogs in Reseda for some lunch with a friend. I had the "LA Street Dog" with chili cheese fries and a Coke, AWESOME!

Afterward we went over to Westfield Topanga, formerly Topanga Plaza, and boy have they added to and fixed that place up. I had an great time looking around and in the process, I bought the following (sort of):

• Audi A5 Cabriolet in Sprint Blue
• About $1000 in clothes at Neiman Marcus
  love the Royal Underground Spring Collection
• over at Cartier
  a $9750 watch
  a $2800 ring
• finally $40 in underwear and socks at Target which I left the store with.

Normally I get ignored when I go to such places but today I must have been oozing money because the staff in all the stores I went to couldn't have been more helpful or nicer -- I'll take it as a good omen on my recent decisions. Shopping for your "dreams" can be an amazing way of programming the universe when using the Law of Attraction (LoA).

Had dinner in West Los Angeles at Pho 99. Everyone seems to think this place is amazing and it was good but I thought the rice noodles in my Pho Ga were a bit rubbery, personally I prefer Pho Show in Culver City or Absolutely PHO Bulous on La Cienega by the Beverly Center.

Well tomorrow is going to be an early and LONG day, so I'm going to bed -- nighty night.

What an excellent day!

Not that I had that much planned for the day, but I managed to get everything done. I went to breakfast with a friend then checked out a new bank since my old one has decided that using the bank is not good enough, I must pay for the privilege (gotta love the corporate greed -- over $8.50/month).

It was a beautiful day, first one on my day off in quite a while that was sunny and warm enough to lay out for some Sol worship. Then I went to the gym and had an excellent workout, it felt SO good.

Had dinner at this Japanese Teriyaki place called Sarku Japan in the newly redone Fox Hills Mall, oops Westfield Culver City.

Overall things have been great today, yesterday REALLY charged my batteries and I have set a few more things in motion for after the 15^th of April. I really am happier than I have been in SO long. I have light at the end of the tunnel and "the world is my oyster" or so they say.

It's been a few days and things have been hectic. I have just been a bit negligent and there is no real reason. Just being lazy.

One thing about breaking a resolution, they only stay permanently broke if you want them to. It can always be reinstated and followed through on. So here we go with the second attempt.

Hey, I had to quit smoking three times before it stuck and I still have a craving every once in a while. Occasionally, I will get hit with a craving and see some hot guy smoking and I'm thinking I should french kiss him just to suck the smoke out of his lungs. Kinky and funny, but a touch strange...

Going to bed and getting ready for Grammy weekend...

5 Personal 12 Week Goals

I'm currently reading Body for Life which asks the following question:

What are the five most important, specific accomplishments you need to make, within the next 12 weeks, for you to be pleased with the progress of your body and life?

My answers in the form of affirmative statements are:

• Within 12 weeks, I will lose 25 pounds.
• Within 12 weeks, I will leave my current job at A*****.
• Within 12 weeks, I will fix Harry Honda.
• Within 12 weeks, I will go on at least six dates.
• Within 12 weeks, I will finish writing "10 Secrets to the Secret".

We finally have some dry weather and it is cold as a witches tit at night, but NO RAIN for a few days then only a day possibly on Tuesday and maybe some more next Saturday.

Good day, went REALLY fast and I did a quick computer job while I was at work. COOL!!!!

Going to run home and crash immediately, I have to be back @ 07:00 tomorrow morning. Good thing that I get off at 19:00 tonight and not 23:30 as I used to.

My new affirmation for the day has been: "Money is attracted to me like a lover, it cannot stay away from me." Cool and has had me in a great mood all day.

I never did get a chance to eat my salad I brought for dinner, oops, guess I'll just have top eat it tomorrow, but I get off work @ 15:30 so I might save it for Sunday instead... We'll see.

Night!
