Hmm I guess I'm pretty popular
Santa Cruz, CA is dope on so many levels. There's ALWAYS something going on every night of the week, in several different places at once, if you're looking for a good time and/or good music. And the people? Laid back, chill, friendly, and generous. Or at least this is my perspective, but I'm a rosy-glasses wear-er
. In Santa Cruz, it's my experience that you can go into a restaurant or whatnot a few times, be friendly toward the staff, and they'll remember you and do sweet things to secure your patronage, like give you a drink or dish on the house, or come and give you a warm welcome-hug, or basically treat you like an old friend the next time you show up. Makes you feel special and popular, and you don't even have to spend a whole lot of money to get the Royal Treatment. Well, at least that has been MY experience.
I kickboxed, and in Yoga I had a hard time staying in some of the standing lunges, I'll spare you the Sanskrit, but of course it was relaxing as always and this marks the 4th day this week I've had evening Yoga--and what, just Monday I took 2 Yoga classes? Anyway, I brought a bottle of Rombauer 2005 Carneros Merlot (good shit, trust me) to the Cypress BUT......I forgot my wallet AND cell phone at home yesterday
It's OK, Peezey told me when I paid him back $20 that he lent me (Saturday I stupidly forgot to get cash when we went out), "I appreciate it, but you don't have to. I just want to let you know that whenever we go out, you don't have to worry because I'll pick up dinner and buy you drinks, whatever." 
I thanked him but I certainly refuse to take advantage of the situation. It depends on how quick he is: my ex boyfriend from high school, L, always picks up dinner when we go out (we hang out occasionally, not often, he lives on the Peninsula [i.e.Redwood City for you non-Calis) because he's sweet and he insists, and I guess he also makes a helluva lot more money than I do, but I always TRY and he beats me to it! Anyway I felt like a dirtbag without my wallet, but hell, at least I brought a $32 bottle of wine with me Uh, that I got for free AHEM!
We both had salads and he told me some interesting stuff! First off, he said I looked "beautiful" tonight, which was sweet (I had on a fly, colorful outfit and my new crochet colorful hat and scarf, damn I need to get a camera so bad!). Then he said he joined a gym that day and went running on the treadmill for the first time in a long time--influenced by me! Then he told me he canceled his New Year's plans to go to Mexico with his older brother and friends, because he didn't feel like doing what they did--lots of coke and strip clubs. I laughed!
SO he axed me what I was up to and I have no idea, I was thinking of going to the event I attached here because I know Rastatronics and Little John (both really nice guys, John especially and yes, he is short) but it costs $55 and I doubt there are any hotel rooms available in SF at this time......but we'll see. Additionally, I axed him if he'd be willing to go to the 12:15pm Friday (today) Yoga class with me and meet Kelly, the yoga teacher who inspired me to go on the retreat at Mt. Madonna, and he said YES!!!! 
Well, Peezey definitely is sprung on me. And I certainly like him, so we'll see where this goes.......
Peezey sure must have been validated that I am "the bomb" as he told me last week, because I was networking like a MUTHAFUCKA!!!! First off, the staff at Cypress waived our corkage fee (if y'all don't know, a restaurant charges about $10-20 or so for each bottle you bring in on your own, to drink--I've brought in bottle before and they said "since you come in here a lot, it's only $5 for you" but I guess this time they spared me the 5 bones!). Next, I saw about 5 people I knew, including that one friend of Nick's whom I taught a Yoga lesson to at 1am a few weeks ago and who paid me $1.25 in quarters as my first paying customer, Yi-ah!!! And of course, I knew the DJ Rudi B, who was there to spin Reggae, and P and I danced and drank the rest of the wine after our salads, then walked over to Cafe Mare to see the other DJ I was going to meet, Damien. There was a bouncer at the door checking IDs and remember I left my wallet at home? The bouncer acted like he wasn't going to let me in until I said, "Well, I know the owner, Jon Pierre," and he said, "Really? Oh well go right in." CHA-CHING! I ran into Nick's boss, whom I introduced to P, and I was chatting with Damien who kept spinning, and then Damien mixed some Dancehall to Melle Mel, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's The Message (CLASSIC! Here: ) and MAN!!! I will dance to that song ANYWHERE, at ANYTIME! SO although there was a dancefloor, no one was dancing, but I just jumped right up and pretended I knew how to break dance, basically dancing quickly and using my strength and flexibility to try to appear as fly as possible. WELL! It worked, I looked up and there was some gangsta boy given me props and dancing next to me, and then a group of girls were holla-ing Big Ups and then they started dancing with me!!! So I kicked off the dance floor before I said bye to Damien (it was getting late), who gave me a couple CDs to listen to, and P and I kicked rocks back to my car. The hug goodbye was HOT and I made it home at midnight and now I'm kind of tired but READY for tonight---
Peezey got us another hotel room for the Winter Solstice Celebration in San Francisco with a bunch of local SC DJs and party kids--pretty much the whole scene is going to be there, I'm stoked! SO today we're going to do Yoga together then he's driving us up to the City and we'll most likely have a delicious dinner at Cafe Gratitude, and then dancing, crashing, then he's taking me back in the morning so I can make it to work on time, 11:30 tomorrow. WHEW! Busy bunny! After work I'm driving straight to my hometown for my niece's 3rd birthday and going to spend Sunday with my best friend. YAY!
143.5 lbs this morning, but I was dehydrated from the wine so it might be a false reading--either way, the scale is headed in the right direction!

That song rocks my world, intelligent and introspective, makes me grateful to be "privileged" and live in a safe, wonderful place like SC County
On Peezey:I know, right?

I am so jealous of your Yoga Schedule. That is amazing! I need to find a yoga studio around here. The gyms class is a bit lackluster and I HATE how crowded it is.
Way to go on the weight loss! 143 pounds is fabulous!!!!! I can only hope I have the same determination and success as you!

Hey Erin babe!
I hope you can find a Yoga studio. I love my teachers, I regularly see about 3 of them, and I totally look up to, learn from, and admire their energy, WOW! Amazing ladies, absolutely awe-inspiring--and their BODIES! 
To die for! I want to be an instructor so bad someday!!!!
Thanks!
I made fitness my hobby a few years back--first to look good, then I became addicted to feeling good from it all. Unfortunately, it took lots of time away from other things I used to do like art I need to get back into that, too!Curvie Girlie

Hey Lena, I just like people and love learning whatever I can from them, even if the people are kinda wack 
It's important to get familiar with The Wackness as well as the awesomeness, out there.
I'm a shmoozer

OK so Peezey backed out of Yoga today, but says he's going for a swim. I'm not the least disappointed, and I'm sure I can drag his ass to a Yoga class some other time--good for him for swimming! 
I like to swim but I hate chlorine--the scent doesn't get out of my hair until after three washings! I'll be heading up to the A.Y.I. (Ashtanga Yoga Institute) in a bit, here.
OH! My studio is closed next week until Friday the 2nd
WHAT THE FUCK AM I GOING TO DO?!?!?!? *hyperventilating* Nah just kidding, I'll manage--I'll just do Yoga on my own!

Yoga was great even though I realized I'm actually quite tired; been coming home at midnight lately, and I didn't drink enough water before going to bed so the wine sucked the life out of me. Hydrating is an annoying task, at times
I am eating so much today! Being tired really does that to me, and I'm just exhausted from this whole week--partying, networking, kickboxing, Yoga-ing, doing laundry.....I've seriously been entertained, amused, active, and in a great mood all week but MAN OH MAN I need some better sleep. Maybe I'll snooze in the car on the way to the City. P's driving me, how sweet Ugh and it'll be dancing all night and up early tomorrow to work 
Fuck, dudes. At least I can sleep all I want Saturday night. I think I won't go out, although there's some underground party with the same crowd going off at a secret location. I have no interest in anything but SLEEP tomorrow night! 
Hell, at least I'm super happy and having tons of fun Life is awesome lately!
I decided since I can't seem to be diligent about tracking calories (start to in the am, forget and fell off) lately I'll start anew on Dec 26 in anniversary for 12-26-06, when, thanks in part to this forum, I managed to lose 20 lbs in four months--because I was damn diligent and tracking ALL CALORIES (AND I got enough sleep, AND I was running A LOT and kickboxing A LOT and weight training a lot, too!). It really works for me. Also, I'm going to make sure my party life drops off a bit so I can get better sleep--more sleep = less appetite for me, and better willpower--that's just the way I am. Nonetheless, the anniversary of my Day 1 from 2 years ago when I was successful brings back fond memories. The coolest thing? I'm 12 pounds lighter NOW then I was BACK THEN
IF I do manage 5 pounds a month (let's say mu weight is 145 on 12-26-08, heh it MIGHT go up--no promises!) then I should be 135 by Feb 26th. This would be fucking amazing. We all know that as you get leaner, it gets more difficult to lose AND the willpower........can also waiver. The body is like "No no! I NEED some fat, bitch!" and plateaus happen. I'm aware of all this, but I'm also pretty determined to stay under 145 lbs for all of 2009. Where was I last year?
2008: January-May I was 158 lbs to 147 lbs; June-Dec I was 147 lbs to 142.5, with a random 141.0 thrown in there once, and saw most frequently 144.0 lbs.
Not bad! That means I maintained a 22.55 BMI for the last half of 2008. Good for me I'm actually really proud.
OK but yes, I definitely want to be in the 130s and there's LOTS of motivation and determination floating around New Year's. I'm excited about resolutions For some reason I jive with the "starting fresh" mentality.

HA! JZ, you are a wise one. "It's as sure as Curvie Girlie is going to have a boss weekend" may as well be a reassurance phrase

you should be proud of you. just look at yourself, your body and your frame of mind lately you're enjoying life and that is what ultimately matters. however having goals of losing weight is something you need to keep yourself under control when it comes to eating which is the right way to be in my opinion. btw you do need sleep. it is great to party but some relaxation is always a good thing hehe.
