    So I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, just about life, love, timing… it all gets so complicated and confusing. So this week my Sappy Sunday is about relationships and their timing. Last night at work I was talking to one of my tables about relationships, such a fun cocktail waitress I know… Anyway, he was telling me the girl he was dating was 26 and liked to play games. She liked to flirt with other guys around him and he was telling me how annoying it was because he was all about her and not into games. I told him I agreed, when you’re actually into someone, (Very different than just wanting to hook up with them)… you don’t play games. You care more about the person and their value than to play immature games. Playing games = not ready to be in that relationship. I told him yeah that’s weird and sucks, but maybe it’s just bad timing?

    His friend chimed in and laughed, “Bad timing? There’s no such thing. Bad timing = bad person.” It made me think… Do you guys believe in the whole two people in the right place at the right time thing? Or do you believe you could meet your soul mate today, one not be ready, spend time apart, and pick up where you left off? I’ve never thought about bad timing meaning simply the person is bad for you forever?

    To me once you start dating someone else tho, the old relationship never is the same. You lose interest and become excited about your new relationship. With both my exes in the past, when we broke up, I had the intentions of walking away but maybe going back at a later date. Looking back now? I’d never everrrrrrrrrr be with either of my exes again. Too much bad happened, too much drama, we all dated new people, old problems would re-surface bla bla no thanks. So maybe bad timing ruins all hopes of a relationship with that person in the future? But then here I go again thinking the opposite, well maybe if what I had with those guys was real, (Key word IF), maybe it could be possible to reunite later? If both parties were willing to conquer all the problems together?

    My question to you all I guess is, how long do you wait to be on the same page with someone when dating? At what point do you walk away? Is there such thing as perfect timing or can you work together to create perfect timing? How many games does one endure until its time to let the other “not ready” party go?

    I’m not gonna lie, I have had my fair share of loser boyfriends, but what I don’t understand is how some girls never seem to outgrow this phase? Sure it’s hard to walk away (Been there, done that ten times trust me…) but once you do let go, you’re one step closer to being happy and finding exactly what you deserve. I know soooo many cute girls and how come so many of them have fool boyfriends? I am finally to the point where unless I am with someone equally invested in my happiness, I am 100% not interested. I am getting too old, and have too much self respect to sit and nag at some fool to give me what I know I deserve, how come not every girl feels this way? Before we go any further, yes this applies to guys as well, dating lame girls that is, I however am writing it from my view. Please save the girls are a mess too comments, trust me I know.

    I think a lot of girls think they need a boyfriend, but realistically um… you don’t. What is even crazier is these guys the girls think they need, do nothing nice for them. I’m convinced most girls are totally in love with the idea of love and not the actual guy. I also think it has a lot to do with a loss of control. When guys back off and stop caring about the relationship, girls enter panic mode and try harder. No. Stop. Girls, most of the time when you pick up your lame-0 guy’s slack, he just ends up caring less. He sees how desperate you are to make it work and will abuse his control over you. Best thing to do? Back off. Your guy should want to be with you and want to put in equal work.

    Seriously life is crazyyyy right now, so sorry for the lack of posts! I think right now is hands down the hardest transition I have ever been through, correction, it is. I could lie and tell you all living in Las Vegas is a total blast but reality is it definitely has its ups and downs. So many people ask me why I ever moved out of San Diego to somewhere so crazy like Vegas and I really don’t have a reason other than I think everyone should push themselves outside their comfort zone at least once in this lifetime, and since I never have, this was my time! I was born and raised in San Diego and I was sick of seeing the same people at the same places, I wanted to get lost in a city and create a new life there. Now that I am lost in a new city, and well in over my head, all of me wants to move home because it’s terrifying, but I gotta keep going!

    I never had any desire to really leave SD until recently, I mean why would I? San Diego has it all. My best friends, my family, I had a secure job, a cozy home, a Pomeranian I love more than anything, I must have been crazy to pack up all my crap and move to Sin City? This move could be one of the biggest mistakes ever, but I trust that I will grow immensely from this and I’ll always know that San Diego and all those amazing things I left behind are just a 5 hour drive away. Coming home when I am home sick really has helped this transition. I come home, see everything is still the same and can venture back off to Vegas knowing I’m not missing anything new.

    I of course have been having a blast out here as well, soooo much to do! Saturday night I worked an event for a jewelry company called Ideal, a Canadian diamond company. 20 girls and I hit up TAO Nightclub and had so much fun.

    I ran into my new boss, Jason Strauss, who had a table with Brittny Gastineau and E! News host Giuliana Rancic, so it was fun seeing them in real life! Brittny Gastineau was celebrating the launch of her new jewelry line, Tres Glam,  at Lavo the following night, featuring a performance by Macy Gray. The best part of Vegas is there are always fun people around to meet and see!

    Ohhhh yum best new breakfast snack everrrr, get excited because Jamba Juice now has oatmeal! About a month ago I discovered Jamba Juice’s oatmeal and it’s for sure one of my new favorite breakfast items. I know it has existed for a while but I just learned of it so shhhh. So fast, pretty healthy and soooo yummy!

    Jamba Juice has 3 delicious flavors of oatmeal to choose from… apple-cinnamon, blueberry-blackberry, or banana, all topped with a ehhh not so healthy brown sugar crumble. I eat it anyway, too good not to. My favorite is for sure the banana.

    Although the calorie and sugar count isn’t anything to write home about, it’s not too bad for an entire breakfast. Besides you can leave off the brown sugar if you want to reduce the sugar intake. Overall an easy, but healthy start to your morning for those of us who always seem to be in a rush :)

    So I am on day 3 of my 5 day liquid only cleanse and I am somehow ok!? Yesterday was rough but not as bad as I thought it would be. For someone who lovessss food, no really, LOVE… the most challenging part is mentally telling myself “You’re notttt hungry” and resisting all the snacks around me. You feel hungry on the liquid diet, however the mixture they give you fills you up enough. I do always feel hungry, but never starved. Definitely sucks always wanting to eat but I’m sticking to it! This isn’t something you should try if you cant stick to it, because after doing it for a day or two you’ll want to quit.

    After 3 days of lighter eating, and 3 days of the actual “liquid” cleanse, I already notice results. Obviously not eating will make anyone appear slimmer, but it mostly feels good knowing I’m cleaning out my entire body for a fresh start. It overall makes you want to eat better and just become a healthier person. I was a bit more tired yesterday, but after the first 48 hours you become super energized and way less hungry. I’m not gonna lie and say it’s easy but I do recommend everyone does try one once in their life and if I can do it, anyone can. I will also confess that I have been snacking on almonds. I think it actually helps to eat a tiny bit otherwise I feel like the mix has nothing to stick to inside. If you do eat, only eat natural, organic things and tiny tiny bits.

    The actual shakes themselves aren’t fun to drink and right now I have to drink 5 a day. 1 every 3 hours. You mix the packet with apple juice so it tastes better. You can drink all the organic juice you want while on the diet, or even have veggie soup, the broth helps because it’s warm and at least feels like you’re eating something. So far so good, counting down the days until it’s over but in the meantime, enjoying the results :)

    Another life lost to drugs or so that seems to be what insiders are saying.  The world was shocked yet again today when learning actress Brittany Murphy had passed away. The reason? Cardiac arrest aka possible drug use. Perez Hilton actually predicted Brittany Murphy’s death to a local radio DJ here in San Diego while talking about Michael Jackson’s death being the biggest story of the year 2009. Radio host AJ Machado asks Perez Hilton if there is a celebrity that he thinks is heading in the same path as Michael Jackson… his reply?

    Brittany Murphy.

    Murphy has been accused of having an eating disorder earlier in her career which some believed was tied to a cocaine habit. The Los Angeles City Fire Department confirmed that a 911 call was made at 8 a.m. from Murphy’s West Hollywood home, according to several reports. Murphy’s mom found her unconscious in the shower. She was pronounced dead upon arrival at Cedars Sinai Medical Center. What is weird about the whole thing is her husband does not want an autopsy performed. Interesting.

    It really is crazy how scary drugs are and how people fail to realize the damage they posses, I have no desire to even experiment with them. Hello, there is a reason they’re illegal, because they take over your entire being without you even knowing it or wanting them to. Maybe you’re one of the few who can handle doing drugs on occasion, but maybe you’re the person they will control forever, ultimately leaving you dead in your shower? For me it’s just not worth the risk.

    I guess it is hard realizing something of this nature while struggling with an addiction. Anyway…we all know how I feel about drugs so I’ll wrap this one up…

    Today’s sappy Sunday? The obvious… take someone else’s mistake and learn from it.

    “It’s said that a fool learns from their own mistakes, a wise man from the mistakes of others.”

    Take a second not only to appreciate what you have but to realize how fast life can be taken from you. If you are fighting with someone, headed down a path you might not want to be headed, involved with a bad crowd, know someone struggling with addiction… you have the ability to change it all or at least give it your best try to while you still can. A second chance is never promised.

    Also think about all the drama she endured with that husband of hers, all the petty fights… looking back, they were all so tiny in the overall perspective, pick and choose your battles. I see so many people wasting time fighting over the stupidest stuff. Even that NFL player who just died fighting with his fiance over wedding costs. She has to live with that guilt for the rest of her life. Love & forgive everyone, there is just absolutely no reason not to. One day we will all be gone, lets make the best of our time here together :)

    This week was really a crazy one. I had so many things go wrong but after complaining about it for so many days I realized things could have been 52 times worse. It seems even though bad things happened to me all week, someone was still looking out for me because I walked away safe. I had two situations that could have definitely ended with me seriously injured if they had gone just a bit different. It is wild to know that life is a constant test, after the initial shock of bad events I try my best to sit myself down and review the message. What is being taught to me? What can I learn from this? Almost always you will extract a positive from the negative.

    We must also always remember that there is tons of good happening to us as well, don’t forget how good you have it the majority of the time! Like everyone says, sometimes you gotta make it through the rain to appreciate the sun. If you are going through a similar situation, really try to see the good in the bad, I promise it’s there.

    So, even though this week was crappy, I learned my family & friends will come to the rescue and it was nice to know that no matter what happens I have that support. I am lucky to have it :)

    Thanks to everyone who helped me out this week I LOVE my Fam & Friends so much! Was a great weekend!
