So , you think....

I can live without dishwasher??? BINGO!!! You are absolutley right!!! My dishwasher broke last friday, after my friends " good bye" party. Sine then, I have been handwashing my dishes. MY POOR DELICATE HANDS get real housewife training now. OH, the joys of broken household appliances. ... I think that I will not get this GE profile performance fixed. IT will be its third time and repears exceed 300 dollars. Price for this built in dishwasher is 400 dollars. ( cheap stuff, but hey, it came with house- almost came with house, we updated it to stainless steal .....) . So , now I am doing everything by hand. .... Just trying to same some money...lol..

last night I was forced to post In LIFE as IT IS blog ( www.diana78.blogspot.com) because this PMS blog was not found..... weird. So if you want to know what the heck is going on, go there and read the latest entry about myPMS....


As you know I am married... lol yeah, and I have 2 kids and my husband just had enough and moved to china , so he does not have to listen to my blah, blah blah 24/7......( I love you honey...) So today he called and started bitching about how bad chinese food is.????? And trust me, he does it EVERY TIME HE CALLS( 4 times a week). I KNOW HONEY, you allready told me.... and my response to him - SO GO OUT THERE AND FIND SOM E' Better MSG free food??? Do something about it!!!! Don't just complain, take action and ask around. But knowing my husband... I do not think he will do that. He expects ME to go there and find him THAT IT!!!! Oh, sweety, I feel bad for him. Every time he goes to China he buys his favorite protein bars and shakes with him, he takes Total cereal and mixed nuts( from costco). He is total health food freak... BUT what bugs me is He can not find his way in china... He is Chinese and he asks directions from me- WHAT SHOULD I DO , HONEY??? ( to bad he can not read this blog in china, blogger is blocked by chinese covernment, weird , huh???).

I think that is it for today.... I am turning my TV to fox and watch- So you think you can dance?? What's up my firends?? Any exiting summer vacation plans??

Competition, competition competition..

Ok. I am little unhappy now. I spent 2 hours by the pool and got horrible sunburn and I used 50 spf sunblock. I HURT EVERYWHERE. I want my money back....


Anyway, what I want to write about today may make some of you disagree with me. It is about My California. It is about what I see here every day. Area where we live is close to everything and our house is built on last Developement in Laguna Niguel ( at least that what they are saying). Our community is not finished yet. There is still place for new homes. But do you want to know what is the price for new homes??? 4 years ago when I bought my house we payed 750 000 dollars for our house. If we'd sell our house we'd make around 1,5 million dollars. BUT new houses range from 1,3 million to 2,5 million dollars and THEY ARE NOT worth that amount of money. It is grazy over here. Ridiculos. But of course Laguna Niguel is very beautiful area , very clean and well organised. Close to freeway, toll road, close to few malls , grocery stores etc. I love it here.
Living here is kind of stressful I think. people who live here make GOOD money, they have interior designers, private shoppers , Gardners, mades, own 3-4 houses, apartments, ,condos ( not everybody , but lots of them do). Most of the familyes have more than 2 cars , if they have small kids and both parents work Live in nanny is necessity , well, lot of moms I know, are stay at home moms and they still have live in nanny/ baby sitter. I know lot of people here who are taking acting lessons and drive to LA area few times a week to show up in auditions in hopes of finding awsome HOLLYWOOD fame. I know parents whose kids got chosen to Santa Clause 3 movie and now they are not friends anymore, because one of the kids gets to be on big screen one minute longer. ( jelousy). Whatever.

People who have been in my house know that our house is NOT traditional in any means. lol All my fooms have different colors, furniture is miss and match and I do not shop in High End department stores. Nothing matches in my house. AND then I go to these awsome traditional looking clean, clutter free DO NOT SIT ON MY FURNITURE kind of homes and I feel overwhelmed. I am not sure why, but sometimes it just irks me that I do not have 3000 dollar couch in my house, or my coffe table is out of Ikea? Do I make any sence to you?? Yeah, I do want to decorate my house with Art deco and Salvador Dali and Picasso. But will it make me happy when I have it??? Will I enjoy it for me or will I enjoy it because people will go AWW, ond OWW and wow... you know??
I have been writing here and I forgot why I started writing this. Oh, I remembered. Life here is all about WHO is the Best. My husband blah, my kids, blah, my this blah my that blah... All I hear all day long is blah blah blah and I am so fucking sick of this all. Sometimes I just want to pack my bags and leave this place, and then I take a minute to think about it and I feel like I am a total moron. Why do I ever feel depressed? I live in Southern paradise. I have everything I ever wanted , even more. Husband, kids, house, best cars ( yeah, you may disagree there. lol). But I do get my dull and I want out of here moments. The other day I thought I should back my bags and move to hollywood, take couple of acting classes, get myself agent and start acting . lol I'l probably get a job as and dead fat russian stripper in CSI crime lab..... oh. wow. I get teary eyes even thinking about it.... Watch out Hollywood, Diana has few more glasses of cider and I am ready....;)

Everybody here looks good. THey do. And I love how people talk here I love California English. lol.. I had hard time getting New Jearsey and Memphis one, but CA one sound just Right......

OK. I am going to take care of my sunburn. It really hurts. ...... I love California, but I miss Estonia.:)

WHY???

These past 2 weeks have been very entertaining. Season finales, series finalies and all the other finalies. Today is Alias 2 hour series finaly. I LOVE Alias. But I am glad to see it go. 2 more hours and then I see what all the fuzz was all about anyway.

I have been really tired past few weeks. Not sure what is going on. I yawn all the time, got very weird skin rash and PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME TO HOME DEPOT nursery dep. I went there the other day , and few moments after I entered the 'blooming " area I had to leave it. I almost passed out. MY head got all dizzy and I started sneezing. To top that i got blurry vision and scratcy throat... THANKS god home depo is only abot mile away from us. Drive home was horrible since I was still sneezing and my eyes were watering. I am taking Claritin and it is helping a lot. :)

Oh people, please give me some good ideas what to get for my "family" in china. Everything is made in China anyway. I got See's candys and few CA books, but that is it. I need something original...

So girls...

I had my annual ob/gyn checkup today. I do it every year and I look forward to it. I remember when we lived in New Jearsey, there was ob/gyn group called Woman Caring for WOman. I loved going there for chekcups. All doctors were really nice and they laughed with you, cryed with you... My last day there--- I remember it... It was halloween, all doctors were dressed up, wearing costumes, my doctor was wearing Queen costume from snow white, she looked just like queen - beautiful but evil same time... oh, anyway... I miss them up there.

BUT I found really good doctor here. Her name is Mona and she is doing awsome job. And her memory is just incredible. I saw her last year ago and she asked some questions about our family and kids and my background .. I told her what was going on with Regina and with my mom and that my DH was working in China... SHE remembered everything. I was impressed..

About my health- she wants to do an ultrasound ( no I am not pregnant), but since my AF is veryirregular ( every 2-3 months) they just want to take a "closer " look. I also have to get some Ovarian cancer screening done because of family history. Not happy about it, but better safe than sorry. And They took my blood for testing. OH, how could I forget the most important test -Pap test. Now I am hoping for negative results.. ( I had false positive about 3 years ago and I hated all the other test they did..... yuck).

SO all of you out there who avoid going to see your doctor once a year. It's no big deal. Just do it. Take off your clothes, put on that funny looking robe and sit patiently until doctor enters and ask you to scoot forward...... JUST DO IT....

This girl is happy today...


After yesterdays mishap, I thought , there it comes- from here it can only go downhilll.... but oh boy was I wrong. Things are looking up again. NO, you silly people, my hair did not grow 2 inches owernight nor I had extensions put on... BUT those of you who remember my car accident year ago , on may 23d, know that I had HELL of a time calling Liberty mutual, and Farmers to get my rental money reinbursed ... Well, today it finally happened. 1454.95. I feel like it is my first payday ever. lol. I am soooo happy. Please people, keep sending those awsome checks. All I need is money. And yes, in my case, money buys happiness. Totally.. Good things come it threes... so
  1. I got my early Bday present
  2. I got My money back
  3. --- number 3 is open for business...... ;)
I think that is it for today. I need to get some serious house cleaning done. Tomorrow will be busy day cooking for my DH's Taiwanese business partners.

OH, I had to quit drinking wine. ( red/white) Past few months my body acme really started bothering me. And my dermatologist finally took his paper, pen and started asking questions about my drinking/eating habits. When we got to the part that I have glass of whine almost every evening with my meal- he stopped me right there and told me to quit drinking wine for a week or 2 . So now I have been wine free for 5 days and my back and chest are slowly clearing up. i think I am going to swich to vodka from now on. ... shot today, 2 tomorrow and AA meetings in near future.... See ya'

WTF???

You know what pissed me off today.. ? YOu don't want to know? Well, it is your bad luck. I will tell you anyway...

I went and got my hair cut. I told hairdresser- DO NOT TOUCH MY BANGS. AND first thing she did, she grabbed her scissors and my bangs and woooosh- they are 2 inches shorter. I almost grabbed her scissors and wanted to cut off her fake stupid curly hair... Seriosly, I was fucin' mad. I made clear for her in my " perfect" legal Estonian Immigrant english that FUCKING BITCH, LEAVE MY BROWN FRONT ALONE....... Yeah, I blame it on immigrants, and think that she was on strike.... and lucky me!!!!! F*U*C*K. It took me 3 months to grow my hair out and it took her one second to ruin my good looks, ( well, I still look good, BUT, it's her way good, not MY way good. Since she pissed me off, I bought myself new pair of shoes. Yes, she made me. Plus, shoes really fit right this time.... DANG.. on a good note--- I got my early Bday present from my dh. Sony sybershot digi camera - it is really small and it feels really weird . Lol. I am used to my big Canon SLR camera that I love, and now I have this matchbox size camera ... But I love it anyway. I wanted new camera so this is good. :) ALl I need is to loose 10 more pounds, so I can fit into size 8 clothes. :)
