here's a thought, if you're taken, don't pretend your not period. Its not fair to the single women out there looking for someone they are interested in - especially when they finally found someone that might be a potential someone and they're taken. Flirt all you want but be upfront with the taken status and if you're married, where a damn ring.
And I won't pretend I don't have a clue about electronic gadgets or computers :)

the lyrics just come to me, the music is in my head - now how do I get the music out. This came to me after I sent an email to the guy that I'm interested in..I can't read him and honestly I have no reason to go anywhere near his desk during the day unless he needs computer help, although he did check to see where I was when he left..I just can't read him and someone told me today they thought he had a girlfriend, so I sent an email why the hell not that said "I'll just ask..are you single or taken?" Maybe he's single and he'll take the next step, ask me out, one could only hope. Cross your fingers for me that he's single because I feel like a giddy teenager that can't concentrate while she's working and he's in the office.
single or taken
don't play with me
baby
tell me what's on your mind
hold on tight
there's more to the story
than what you see
single or taken
don't play with me
baby
i'll put it on the line
i'll just ask
single or taken
don't play with me
baby
listening to Tommy Lee, Evanscense and Red Hot Chili Peppers

I like this guy and there was some flirting going on the other night, him leaning against me and me leaning against him, him talking in my ear, me leaning close to him to hear him, etc...but now what - was he really interested or was it just the atmosphere (we were all at a concert)? He works at one of my client's sites and honestly when I first met him, yeah, I thought he was cute and interesting but I dismissed the thought because he is so much younger than me and then the other night I thought, hell why not, if I'm attracted who cares how old he is and I know I'm definetly attracted to younger guys but now what? He did offer to help me figure out my ipod and my music is here at my house - so maybe that's the next step, invite him over to help with the ipod. And you're probably thinking to yourself - this is the person who helps with radio's complicated ins/outs why does she need help and yes, I could just read the instructions and figure it out but when a cute guy offers to help, I'll feign innocent because I like him and can't stop thinking about the other night, the vibe I was getting. Seriously, how do I know and what next? Sometimes I feel like a teenager all over again - does he like me?

just when I thought I was done with sales tax for everyone, got another fax for October pre-payments..ugh..its not even the end of the month yet
I'm trying a new schedule - don't know if this is going to work because I'm still a night owl and I really hate commute traffic, so up at 7:30 every morning, work from 8 to 12 at the home office and then to client's sites for another 6-7 hours, then back home to work a few more hours - yes, that's my life and I just realized that something like 13-15 hour days, no wonder I'm tired by midnight..will see how long this last..
music to check out (sometimes I feel like maybe I live in the wrong country, I seem to like alot of bands out of the UK)

just a hint of a tease against tight fabric, a slight touch to entice the senses, a momentary distraction to start the day, men and their tight jeans, oh my.
Yes, I am a girl, I do notice this things. The details are better left for another place and yet, I love the way i intertwined the words and since every other thought has left my head, why not blog about it here.
I've started a new routine or so I hope I have, I'm still really tired but maybe it will get easier with time, I still like sleeping in but ever since I've moved, I have trouble sleeping past 8 or so - I think its the sun streaming in the window that is waking me up and its ohhhhhhhh so quiet here which makes for easier to sleep through the night, so I've started getting up at 7:30 and beginning my day, I still work til 9 or 10pm but maybe soon with the new employee, I'll have some time to get things done and won't be rushing to get everyone done right now.
I did hire the second person for many reasons, she was better qualified and fit my personality better. The first woman seemed to like me offsite but as soon as she walked in my house - she was quite pretentious - I don't need that in my life. I need an open, honest, hard working person. New employee starts 10/30 and while I'm thrilled at finally getting some help, I'm scared too because the business is growing and I'm responsible for another person's wages and maybe its time to start advertising this little business
oh yes, Mimlay thank you so much for that ad copy - worked like a charm :)
ok, back to work, blogging break over, more sales tax to finish, 941s, its never the quarter end that's a push, its the month afterwards when everything is due.

I'm hiring again and I originally got 45 emails which I weeded down to 8 with a little help and then sent out email questions and got 4 responses out of the 8, 2 which were not qualifed or barely out of school with no pratical knowledge of accounting and I interviewed 2 which I like both of them and they are coming tommorrow for 2nd interviews, an accounting test and general this is my house and this is where you'd be working and to pass the kitty test.
The first one I really like - she's very flexible and has the experience and likes trying to new things, all good for me. The second one - definetly wants 20 hours per week and wants to work from 9am to 2pm - which is ok if I actually woke up before 9am - I don't and I don't know if her ideal hours would work with my life and I don't think she's an out of the box thinker - I guess a second interview, we will see. She loves bookkeeping - good quality.
I've gotten alot of funny emails, weird emails, weird resumes but the latest one, here you can laugh with me: My name is Ryan xxxxxx, blah blah blah, I have recently started my own business in which I do bookkeeping services for small and medium size businesses in the East Bay. I primarily work from home, however coming in a few hours a week is not a problem. I can handle any task from producing balance sheets, profit and loss reports, general ledgers, bank reconciliation as well as payroll services. I charge a nominal fee of $500 a month which benefits my companies with a cheap alternative to keeping their books as well as provide myself with the luxury of being able to work from home besides the fact that he is my competitor, I really don't think he should be telling potential clients that 500 dollars is a cheap alternative that allows him the luxury of working from home, I wouldn't hire him.
Hopefully tommorrow I will know which one is the keeper and have a new employee because honestly I'd love to sleep again

honestly I thought this stupid dating service was over, while they want your feedback, they don't share feedback, so if you felt like you made a great connection with one person and they never call you back, IJL can't help you or won't help you or doesn't care if you're frustrated with the concept. And I really did think I'd had my 6 dates or 6 months or whatever came last because I wanted it to be over with period. 6 dates only 1 guy I'd consider ever dating again and he won't call back. 6 dates and only 1 guy I'd only normally take a second look at on the street.
and guess what - they called again, apparently my 6 month period doesn't expire until the end of October - damn
and guess what - they still don't know me at all, it must have been a complete fluke with date #6 because the new guy they wanted to introduce me too..
5'10, brown hair, blue eyes....so far so good
likes to listen to dance, techno and house...huh? not my thing at all - give me metal, goth and electronic anyday but not dance techno
likes to ride horses and go camping...ok with you on that one, love horses
and the punch line, he lives past Santa Clara - close to Santa Cruz...WTF?
If I wanted to date someone that lives 2-3 hours away, I could but I don't. Which reminds me, if I wanted to go to the beach, I would but I don't like driving that far away. And yes, I might be missing lots of opportunities because of that decision but I'm a homebody, I like being home and I don't want to drive 3 hours away to date someone and even if he is open to meeting someone that far away, he's not going to like it permanently and its not fair to even go there/go on a date because its not/won't go beyond that first date and THAT"S NOT THE POINT!!'
They were a little confused when I told them I wasn't interested in this new date. I wonder if everyone that's signed up with IJL has just given up on their opinions and just agrees to whatever in order to get it over with.
Honestly re-set me up with date #6, that way I get 2 dates with him and see if there really is a connection. I should ask, that would probably confuse them more :)

men..argghhhhhh. ok not all men but the men at home depot and my stupid ex-trainer, are they just idiots or what?
I asked the kitchen design guy for some help with my kitchen cabinets - I know that they are MillsPride brand and how do I know this, not because home depot was ever that helpful but because I went online to mills pride and compared my cabinets with the pics online - so I told him I need to add some extra cabinets and what were the steps - he said they couldn't do the installation because it was already existing kitchen, ok so how do I do it? he said he could come out and look at what I have - that's not what I asked. So I found another set of guys to help me, they told me the cabinets use a cam lock system - yes, I know that and I needed to know what size I wanted and they were all on the next isle - much more helpful, the first guy must have overheard me telling the second set of guys that he wasn't very helpful and then he came over to help me - I didn't need his help at that point - treat me like I'm stupid once, that's it - I don't want your help anymore. I'm not stupid. He really shouldn't treat women like that are incapable, seriously we're at home depot shopping, if we're there, we probably have somewhat of an idea of what were doing
my ex-trainer - so he called to followup and I told him that I changed my mind and decided to spend the 400.00 on something for the house instead of him and that I was going to try the whole losing weight on my own. Honestly, I've already lost 10 lbs since I've moved because I'm no longer just sitting at the computer, i'm working on the house too and being active. I was on my headset and driving, I didn't hang up the phone because I figured he would and it would disconnect the call...
he didn't hang up and I guess put it down and was talking to himself, what I heard and why I'll never ever call him again: "cross that one off the list. She'll never lose that fat on her own"
hmm, now I know what he really thinks about me and I will never call him again for anything
One thing gotta say about home depot, the women are hell alot more helpful that the men

I ended up taking the day off today, I wasn't feeling all that great - its a girl thing and I went to sleep at 4am anyways, so I needed some sleep - it was a good day to take off and find those elusive lavendar flowers for the cupcakes and then I remembered harvest house - so nice to be living back where I can find things I need within a 10 min drive. And its weird, no one emailed me back today or called to wake me up, no calls from clients or any emails back on requested info..its like everyone knew I took the day off and here I was feeling guilty because I took the day off.
Anyways, I told someone I was making lavendar cupcakes and needed to find lavendar flowers, she asked me what the lavendar flowers were for - at the time I was like "duh for the lavendar cupcakes" now in retrospect I think she was thinking the cupcakes were going to be purple or something which is funny now and probably had never heard of using lavendar in food or maybe had never heard of lavendar as a plant..hmm, interesting concept.
as I was researching Friday, the 13th for symbols of good luck - I have never had bad luck on Friday the 13th, its always been a good day for me then again, I'm not that superstitious either, a black cat crossing my path is a good thing, I couldn't find anything about it but came across this site about numerology which says "The numbers 11, 22, and 33 are said to be master numbers which are not reduced to a single digit. People whose names correspond to these numbers are said to be highly developed spiritually. The number 33 is that of avatar" and then you can analysis your name, my name reduces down to 11
Looked again this time a google search under wiccan + 13, that makes more sense and came across some interesting sites and this is for Zy too - more links:
I have this thing with 3s and 5s, there has to be 5 cats, no less and it can't be 60 or 40, it has to be 65 or 45, it doesn't feel right to me unless it ends in a 5 although 30 is ok and feels right and maybe that's something to do with the 3 and it really never made sense to me until recently....
..and I lost my train of thought because of this damn fly that has been following me from room to room..
oh yes, the 3s and 5s...the 3s are maiden, mother and crone and 5s are earth, fire, wind, air and the spirt and what's with the 3s, that I never really understood, everytime I go somewhere and I'm totally the only person there in the store, no matter what - at least 3 more people come in right behind me - got me on that one, I'd like to be the only one in the store sometimes...
one more thing, I'm allergic to chocolate don't feel sad for me, I don't miss it but I do like carob and today found carob chips and carob powder, now all those recipes that call for chocolate - I can subsitute carob powder and still have a yummy treat that isn't plain vanilla..yummm
lots still to come..lots in my head and its coming out in waves :)

i've been craving cupcakes, I don't know why and I don't usually eat sweets but I want to make something unusual, not those everyday cupcakes and ran across this site CupCakeBlog where she has the most delicious looking lavendar cupcake recipe and then a whole section on herbs and flower cupcakes, I'm in heaven. The thai tea filling looks absolutely delicious and I have given up on trying that sugar creations ideas although I think cupcakes might be easier...so if you're close by, you might want to stop by for a cupcake or two

i'm back, its not that I don't have anything to say because now that I'm typing, its pouring out but what got me to finally blog again - its the cupcakes *silly grin*
did you notice how dark it was out tonight, its like the moon was gone.
I feel like I've been in a fog this last 6 weeks or so. I moved and yeah, I have my very very own house and yet owning a house, so much work, I keep looking out at the backyard thinking I need to do something about it, I need to get the garbage out, get someone to do a dump run and tommorrow is another day that comes and goes and its still not done. I need to finish one project at a time otherwise there will be half finished stuff all over my new house. Last week, I pulled out the old heater, tore out the bad sheet rock/wall and replaced and ran out of mud to finish and it was too late to go to the store and then my week started over again. Yesterday I was soooooo tired that I just took the day off, laid down to play with the cats on the floor and woke up 3 hours later.
I'm trying to hire someone again because I've got too much work and I want time to play too but that's another story.
The cat keeps coming to tell me its time for bed, I think she's right, its time for bed..more to come soon
