ARgh. What an icky feeling.
The first day you wake up feeling like a Mack truck or something of that caliber ran you over a couple times in your sleep, when you were laying low and had no control of this evil wrong doing.
Ok, so you probably get my drift..I feel kind of like ass or something like that, because I'm coming down with a cold. Working in a hospital and a building with circulating recycled air probably doesn't help the fact either. And those damn germs we are brainwashed to believe will eat us alive if we don't sanitize everything we come into contact with. They didn't eat people 20-30-40 years ago...why would they start now? We make sanitizer, the germs get stronger and probably will learn to eat us!!
So, I'm eating my vitamins and have increased my dosage a bit for the sake of giving my immune system a few extra Oomph's of power. Go team vitamins! I'm currently chowing down 3.5 cups of chopped up fruit..which should also help, but is part of my daily food intake, so who knows.
I got my taxes all mailed off. The government should be giving me some $$$, but not nearly as much as in the past where I was able to pay for a trip one year and laser hair removal another. This year, maybe I can buy...hrm...something that costs significantly less...GRrr. I certainly will not be buying a mountain as David Bowie recently has... I wonder how much that costs?!?!
Yes, I'm very random today..and that is the brilliance of today and I'll use being sick and being at work as my excuse!! I should have called in sick...but whatever. I can mask the symptoms and possibly kill them.... *sends in the invaders* KILL KILL KILL the bad guys in me!!! :P
Ok, I should go do the purchasing I must do for work. Woohoo fun times.

Lack of Motivation
Blah blah blah blah blah.
Yup. That's my current mood.
I dislike this mood greatly and would like it to leave.
No motivation what so ever.
Maybe I need some espresso!
Maybe not.
Maybe I need a 6 hour hug?!?!
Maybe I need to...ummm no idea.
Why the heck does it take me over 2 hours to eat my lunch? My lunch would take the average person about 10 mins to eat...goodness.
I don't feel like writing anything of any intelligence today. You'll have to excuse me.

cookie love
Oh Goodness. I am officially addicted to cookies. It all started with Second Cup having some super yummy gingerbread ones dipped in milk chocolate in winter..MmmMmMmmm. Then they had gingerbread people half dipped in chocolate...good, but not quite as much.
Now, I eat at Subway every other week and they have incredible cookies..so those are always nice. At work, there always seems to be cookies (I'm not talking about prepackaged crap cookies either...I like fresh baked ones). AND...I seem to make a couple cookies each day (not by the batch as I don't enjoy them if they aren't fresh) getting creative with them.
CCOOOOKKIIEESS!!!!!!! AhHHhh sooo good.
Ok, this is probably my lamest and weirdest post EVER.
I bet GIR would totally get it.

Friends with exs not benefits
Sometimes I feel I am completely misunderstood by the majority of the world. I know a lot of people say this and claim this, etc. It's just that I am an extremely free spirited person. I don't have the same morals, ideas and such as society has formed. With the nonsense society has formed, it has created a lot of tension for me vs everyone.
In my world, I'm friends for the most part, with my exs. They are not my exs anymore, they are my friends. They are friendships that can only be friendships and nothing more and we figured that out through trial and error of dating. No hard feelings. Why don't people understand this? Is it that hard of a concept to wrap your head around?
I understand for some people it is extremely difficult to just be friends with an ex sometimes, because there are such intense feelings and it does suck that the other doesn't feel that way anymore. But, why lose the underlying friendship that was developed. Of course there are some people you just can't stay friends with after a relationship and that's life. Just like sometimes you have friends that you can't stay friends with. And, there are people in general you can't be friends with either. That's life.
But, to those who do not believe people who've been in a relationship can remain only friends with an ex, that is unfortunate. You could be missing out on some great opportunities of friendships. Now it is completely up to you if that is how you choose to feel about the topic. But, please do not judge other people and their abilities to remain friends with people they've dated in the past. Other people do not have the same views and abilities to remain friends as you do. So please don't be close minded or critical of those with the ability. Don't try to trap their free spirited nature or open mindedness on this issue.
Ok time to eat my lunch.

El Salvador and such
I just realized it's been forever and a day since I've written here.
So, to let everyone know what I've been up too....if anyone even cares...
First off. I finally did end up in El Savador!! It was awesome.
One week of sun, warmth, extremely healthy eating and various activities.
The resort was in Salinitas. But, hardly spent much time there, except to eat, the occasional sun bathing and sleeping. We (my best friend) and me went to San Salvador for one night and stayed in a fancy 5-star hotel there...sooo nice! During the day we were taken around the capital and such. I got a couple great tops and some kickass crafts. But, also got to take in some absolutely beauty of the country side (90-120 min drive to the town we stayed in) and the city.
One day was spent on a very long day-trip to Guatemala, mainly to see the city of Antigua (not to be confused with the island). It is a fascinatingly beautiful city! The only not so great part about Antigua is that, they are used to tourists as it has been a tourist spot quite some many of years now. And, the market people have no problem trying to push everything on you to get you to spend your money. Whereas in El Salvador tourism is still pretty new and they are in that "be super nice and helpful" to everyone phase, which is a lot more appealing.
Another day was spent at another beach where we met some absolutely adorable El Salvadorian kids who were a delight.
Finally another day was spent in plans to go surfing. We (some friends I made at the resort and me) went to a surf town for the day. Unfortunately the waves were crashing about 5 feet from shore and there were serious rocks under where they crashed and the water was about waist deep. In other words, very dangerous to bother surfing on, with a pretty intense undertow. The boys tried to surf these waves and were getting worked...surf board to the head, being rammed into the rocks, etc. I didn't bother even attempting to ride this nonsense. I personally didn't need to break myself on the last day of my vacation. It was more fun trying to figure out if I was supposed to cook my own meal that I bought at a hostel (long story, you'll have to inquire to hear the funny details...which reminds me I need to get the photo from Nick).
All in all, what an awesome trip! I would definitely go back to do another week there and go on the other trips i couldn't get to this time. I want to go to Honduras, see the Mayan ruins, do the coffee tour and play on the canopies!! Hopefully that can happen the next round. We'll see.
You can bet I took tons of photos...which are slowly but surely making their way up on http://amberfette.deviantart.com/ Everything there is for sale (but not from their site, as I think the artist..me in this case...deserves the full profits, not 1/10th of them) through me directly.
I have also been fairly regularly writing for http://www.shebytches.com this week I actually wrote a longer rant, which is good for me to get something out in longer form. Usually I have so many ideas of things I want to write about, but can get it out in 2-3 sentences which isn't good. Yet, when I'm writing on my own in my written journal, I can seem to rant and rave for pages; but it is not stuff I'm ready to put online yet. One day I will let myself free some of that stuff online, but now just isn't quite the time for me to feel that vulnerable. Soon, I hope to be able to do that though, because that is where my best writing is. This writing does include people from my life, so I hope they can handle it too. My mom will likely get some fame...luckily she doesn't read my stuff!!! (Or at least as far as I know.) LoL.
Well, I'm off to continue plotting my next adventure!
