Life's new challenge

As a follow up to my post last week, I am a no longer an Intuit-tee. On Friday, I left my cube, my coworkers and 6 years worth of memories behind me as I drove away from our Mountain View campus. I began working at Intuit at the ripe age of 22. I was a baby! I had an amazing farewell lunch with many of my close colleagues and dear friends. Thereafter, I headed home feeling really sad and weird. Don't get me wrong, I am super excited about my future however leaving something I've become so familiar with was unexpectedly difficult. I got home around 2pm on Friday with lots of nervous energy... and what do I do best when I have lots of energy? REMODEL! I redid our bedroom and felt a little better. I had a hair appointment at 7pm so I relaxed a little then headed to Umbrella Salon. As I sat on the chair with Kien behind me, I said lets CHOP IT OFF. Kien looked at me funny and asked if I was near that time of the month. I said, JUST DO IT. So he did.

Here is my new do at dinner with my sister and daddy last night:


The rest of my weekend was not so good. I got sick and had to stay home on ST. PATTYS! How tragic. my sister was in town from LA too. I finally felt better Monday and hung out with Jo and the rest of the fam. TODAY is Persian new year. So there are much more family events coming up today. I start my new job at REAL network in their Rhapsody Music Division next week. Check out their website. Rhapsody is amazing. I am soooooooooooooooo excited that its killing me. The job is in San Fran so I will be caltraining it back & forth but I just got a Verizon wireless PC card so as long as I'm connected, I'm happy. I bet I'll blog a lot more too!

I am headed down to LA with Jouvan on Wednesday for some fun in the LA Sun. I'll be there for the remainder of the week. We plan on doing some MAJOR girly stuff including fabulous dinners, Massages, Spas, shopping... you catch my drift? I'm super siked for this trip since it will be my last hoorah before I start a new career.

I will post more about the Laali Sister weekend soon.


Happy Persian New Year to all my Persian homies. LaaliOut.

THE HAWAII WARRIORS SUCK and I HATE THE TEAM, THE COACH and THE FANS!!

Image
Talk about lucky sons of bitches, if you didn't get a chance to see the Spartan's nearly dominate the Hawaii Rainbow pansies, then you missed one heck of a game. ( picture slideshow courtesy of the SJ Mercury News ) The game began at 5pm and the weather was crap... rain was pouring and the fans were a few... that was until the sun came out and the fans began arriving, reaching to 20,000+ packing the Spartan stadium. ESPN packed the house in the press-box, scouts were hovering around the media stations, trying to find a good seat and stadium workers ran around the stands wiping down seats so people's rears could remain dry. The Hawaii Rainbow Pansies were the talk of football and everyone was expecting SJSU to lose and to lose big. The spread for the game had Hawaii favored by 20+ points. Since this was the only Division 1 football game to be aired on Friday night, everyone on ESPN was ranting about hawaii and their lame ass QB Brennan. Football Analysts were sure that San...

thug night...pack up your eggs baby!

Image
I updated this story.. so if you read it. Reread it. I missed some very important points. ******************************************************************************** What seemed like a normal Tuesday night .. turned out to be quite interesting. First off, I got home lastnight from work before Neil. I was working from home when Neil got home and said let's take the dogs for a walk and grab coffe and go to the grocery store.. Good Ole Zanatto's. We got the dogs dressed and heade d out. After grabbing coffee and groceries, we start heading back home. The walk home is about 3 blocks but we pass many bars and many thugs on our route home. lastnights thug count was out of control. We were walking towards blockbuster/farenheight on San Fernando when we walk past a group of teenagers... about 10 of them. They seemed nice... One of the boys calls Rocco over. Keep in mind i have 2 dogs on leashes with one hand and I'm juggling 2 coffees in my other hand while Neil is lugging 2 ...

Football Widow 2010

Its Football Friday at the Parry House again. For those that don't know, my hubbie is the defensive coordinator for the Sobrato High School Football Team. They are so far 2-1 (Ugh that loss still hurts) and they are ready to play again tonight against Independence High school in San Jose. Here's their entire upcoming schedule The game should be good and if the boys come out to play, they should get the BIG W! Let's go BullDogs! A common terminology used by woman married to men that coach football is that during football season you are a football widow. It is NO JOKE. I thought that football was time consuming when Neil played back at SJSU but NOW, its CRAZY!! Coaching is a very time consuming job, especially if you are super into it like my husband is. Practice M-F afternoon/evening, games friday nights and football planning half the day on a SUNDAY!! With 2 boys at home with me, its super hard because Neil is so tied up with football!! I love love love football season ...
