Ohio Trip-day three

Went to Rock and Roll hall of fame today. It was very nice. It is amazing to see things that are in the museum that were in making during our time and being with bret is just amazing .. How cool that after all these years we can spend so much time together and really have a great time

Ohio Trip-day two

I fell asleep typing about this trip and blogging about it took me to a whole different place. I had a tough time sleeping as there is a cat here and I am allergic to cats. I been using my inhalers and taking medications etc. Tonight I feels it was someone else's life -- Bret has been incredibly nice and is been driving me every where allowing me to go anywhere I want to. We also passed Firestone High School and my old house in Wichita Place.. Again it feels like nothing .. It should feel like something but it does not.. again making me think of all that happened here, all the things that were shaped here all that mattered here. All that changed here

Ohio Trip - day one

I have taken some photos but my camera is downstairs and that is where Bret is sleeping. I will post some pictures soon. Wow.. it has been a long day. Started at 3:15 am this morning ( west coast time ) - Forgot my cell phone and had to return home to get it. Made it to the airport and had no problem getting on the plain -had a layover in Vegas and managed to play WHEEL OF FORTUNE where I won $50 but I netted $20 Joanna picked me up even though she has been so busy preparing for her vacation and has been so busy. Joanna and I have been since 10th grade where we were in choir together and we were both trees at a play. We have always had a lot o fun. She has a heart of gold. One of the things I remember about her is that she would come over after school and wait for her mom to pick her up. I also remember her extremly yellow beetle which would totally be a classic if it was still around and of course our obession with Friendly's restaurant We had to stop by of course. The finny thing About Akron is that I don't recognize a lot of it. l lived in this town (well really City) for about, 10 Years.it Seems a lot longer because so many things happened. I Came to Akron as a Kid who really did not understand the language or the Culture-wanted so bad this to belong to be be-part of Something and (never did-I was never really included. People made fun. Of me because looked so weird and I
so odd. I was ugly and fat and did not get things. In a way was so innocent and expected things to happen like in the movies. expected People to see who was and how cool was. People that I thought liked me made fun of me and laughed at me behind my back. (was always the last one to get Picked. the last Choice.I left because my dad got a job in DC and We thought it would be better but by the time) I left was much smarter and wiser. I had a College degree from Kent state. I still had a lot of growing upto do but my innocent was Gone. I have thought a lot about those days. People Who haunted me and made my life so hard-

First there is Grocerry Shopping involved.

So.. I have officially started my Shahla Eats Healty Summer Project. I am going to attempt to make the 27 healthy fast receipes that were in Eating Well Magazine. I am stealing this idea from Julie/Julie movie/book. Yes not very orginial and not as complicated or elobrate but one hast to begin from somewhere. So.. today after my two back to back spin class, I went grocerry shopping for my first attempt. NOTE TO SELF: WINCO is so big and I have to be better at organizing so it does not take me three hours for five items

more to come

My FB quote of the day

It is another yucky day in Brentwood. It is cold and I cant walk. I dont have a car, so I cant drive any where. Feel a bit stuck. Miss my friends a lot.. I miss my city walks and its energy. I miss being able to go shopping whenever I want to .. I miss my long walks on Castro street.. how many times did I climb those hills ( and btw it never gets easier.. it always felt like a work out ) I miss stopping by and seeing Jaime. I miss my Monday Night Dinners with Ka. I miss my Friday Night Movies with Jeff. How many movies did we see? I cant even count .. I miss our last minute movie and dinner ( how many times Jaime and I planned a last minute get togethers ) NOW? Yes the house is awesome and it is a good sensation to pull into my garage. It is great to greet Rich and his sidekick Dandy.. So It is totally about how I look at things. So when I was looking at FB This is the quote I saw

"When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead"

so I decided that instead of being sad. I will be awesome--Thanks for that Ms. AB

boys of april ( pictures ) somehow cant combine!!

The boys of April

Tonight, we celebrated all the April boys birthdays. IT was Dan's, Rich's and Mark's birthdays.. all born within few days of each other. It was fun. We went to Tracy and ate at FAMOUS DAVE's

Famous Dave's www.famousdaves.com

I ate alot.. Had BBQ rib, baked beans and hot green beans. very tasty.. Ate all of it.. Had no problem finishing it all. It was one of those things that screaned suburbia...

oops... Somehow I cant combine the photos in here.. it is coming up !!!

my very hyper dog

Dandy is super hyper tonight.. wont stop running back and forth. When I tell Rich this, he tells me that unless Rich is playing with him. he keeps jumping, going up and down. following him around etc.

my quick visit into the city

well .. I could spend all day talking about how much I miss living in the city and how much I miss olive bread !!!!! and how much I miss my friends and how much ... but today after the rain turned out planned hike into a yummy brunch.. I figured that I may as well drive to SF -- I was in Walnut Creek anyway.. half way there.. so I drove to see one of my favorite people. and you know who you are.

GOD I missed blogging

I have been looking for different sites to be able to blog and nothing has been as great as blogspot. Timblr came close but I did not know it well enough and it was sad to have to leave all of this behind. Today i tried again just for sheer heck of it -- was able to log back on shiny happy shahla and it seems to have worked. I am very pleased. I am very happy. I think I likely lost all my readers but This is for me anyway. My life has been a bit dull anyway. I miss my friends and my routine.. being in Brentwood is ok. We have nice neighbors. but it is definitely not the city..

are you kidding me

is it really back? I been trying to log on her for ever .. and it keeps telling me that I dont have this log anymore.. this would be so sweet if it still works.. lets see
