Happy Birthday Baby Blog!

It was three years ago today that I started my blog. Much has changed.

I'm in an awesome relationship.

I have a job that doesn't suck ass.

I'm getting ready to sell my condo.

But some things stay the same.

I'm still stealing Wifi.

Well, that's about it....

Here are some blogs that will show you just how much my life has changed. Enjoy.

First blog entry.

First year anniversary. Celebrating in Chi-town.

My second year anniversary
. Watching TV. I'm a party.

My third year anniversary. Writing about my blog in my blog, outside the It's a Grind in Long Beach. I'm just like one of those club kids.

Happy Birthday Blog. I love you.

Watch me do comedy



Hey you should come out and see me do stand up tomorrow. It will be my first time EVER doing stand up comedy where I don't hate my day job. This could be a kinder, gentler Leana....but probably not.

I'm Lurking

I'm sitting in my car outside the It's a Grind in Lakewood 'borrowing' some Internet access. Now I know how the pioneers must have felt. I'm really roughin' it.

But I'm not going to go and get Internet access. Come to find out, I'm too cheap. So I'll either keep loitering outside coffee shops or try to get some time on line during work. Or perhaps I'll take this as a mini-vacation from the Internet. Perhaps I'll take up a hobby. Perhaps I'll read a book.

More than likely, I'll just nap more.

Off the grid

It seems that my neighbor has stopped paying the bill for his Internet access...which means that Leana is without her (*cough cough*) wifi.

What that means to you, dear blog, is that I won't be writing as much- for awhile.

I started the new job on Monday. I LOVE IT. It's awesome. I get my own office and I'm not treated like a 5 year-old or a criminal. And my boss actually seems to respect my opinion. And he doesn't call me fat or tell me I'm not allowed to get pregnant or take a vacation.

Re-freshing.

Spring Break is Over

Vacation's over. It's back to the salt mines tomorrow.

I'm starting my new job. I'm nervous...I'm excited....I'm nervous.


Wish me luck!

Shower Me This Batman

I spent the last three days of my vacation overseeing the renovation of my bathroom. It had to be done. The old shower and tub was gross when I moved in, and the last four years haven't been good to it. This is the reason I bought this digital camera!

The 1970s called. They wanted their shower back.


After each shower I'd have at least a foot of standing water. Even my beau didn't want to bathe in my old bath water.

No turning back now...


I never thought it would be done!



But it all came together. Check it out!Check out the new floor!

Blog Request

Boyfriend asked me to blog about us getting flashed on the freeway this weekend. Not butt.. but boob...girl boob. For real!

I'll do that later. Now, I just wanted to show some photos of our fabulous trip to San Diego!

Here was our hotel:


Here was the view from our hotel room window:


Here was the Mariachi we saw on our stroll through Seaport Village. I think he expected a couple bucks for his photo. I laughed.

Here's a photo of a firetruck that came barrelling towards us as we walked around Seaport Village. It was going about 1/2 a mile an hour. I feared for my life.

We drove down on Sunday and got back today. Needless to say it was beyond awesome. Somehow I manage to love this man more and more every day.

Seriously, just when I think, "That's it, there's no possible way I can love him any more than this," he goes and says something, or does something, or looks at me in this certain way and I say to myself, "well, shit... I love him even more."


I think I shall love him even more tomorrow.

One Week Down!

The first week of my vacation is over. I feel a bit sad about it. It went by so quickly. I do have one week left and I hope that I'll be relaxed and ready to start my new job on the 10th.

Here's a wrap up of the week that was:


Monday: Traveled back with Boyfriend and his son from Northern California. United airlines had us trapped on the plane for TWO hours claiming they were missing some sort of bolt that held the plane together. Lies, all lies. Ethan did an excellent job keeping his four year old son from going nuts sitting still for that long. I don't know if I could have done it.


Tuesday: Went to Six Flags and almost died.


Wednesday: Met with a real estate agent about selling the bachelorette pad. It will require me to do some maintenance and packing of knick-knacks but I hope it will be a smooth and profitable venture. (Note to God: Please, please, please.)


Thursday: Went window shopping for a new bathtub and shower. My old one looks like the original from the Bates Motel f you know what I mean. FYI, replacing a tub and shower is pricy. Who knew?


Friday: Played golf for the first time in my life. Come to find out, I'm competitive- also found out- I suck at golf.


Saturday: Walked with my Team in Training group. It was already freakin' ridiculously hot at 7 in the morning.
Wrote in blog about my week.

Now you are up to date!
