LA Traffic from Westside to Downtown LA

As I take my daily drive from the Westside to Downtown LA, I'm faced with the FACT that this is how traffic will be in LA (see photo).

With my recent change of employment, my drive has changed. I (subconsciously ) would like to believe that driving to Downtown LA from the Westside is better than driving to Santa Monica

From my house in LA to Santa Monica, it used to take me about 20 minutes (sidestreet) to 45 minutes (freeway). I won't forget to mention that I lived 5.5 miles from Santa Monica. It's approximately 13 miles from the Westside to Downtown. It usually takes me about 25 - 40 minutes.

How could this be? Well, just take a look at the picture.

blogger beta

i've decided to blog again... blogging takes time and dedication. TIME is something i don't have considering my busy work schedule. i'm thankful i'm done with school. i'm contemplating on either getting my masters or another bachelors in a different field.

blogger beta is in its initial stage. i have to decide to either create a new blog or just wait till this one converts. i certainly do not want to cut and post all my post.

2006 happy new year!

2006... a brand new year. it is now the middle of january and it seemed like time just went by. i can still remember the new year where the hubby and i (with spenser the lab) were all sitting in the living room watching the countdown.

this year, the hubby and i are planning a trip to europe. i wanted to travel a little bit because we've decided that after being married for two years, it would be time to add a baby to our family unit.

the hubby agreed! we've talked about it for awhile now and it seemed like we're ready. the question now is when....

another goal i have this year is to lose weight. i've gained a considerable amount of weight. it seemed like a lifetime ago that i was in the gym 2-3 times a week sweating it out to make sure that i can wear all my size 4/5 clothes....
