Moving into a new place is stressful


My life seems to have been lethargic lately. It has been constantly going, but I feel like I have gotten nothing done. Although that is 100% false. I'm in the state of I have done nothing because everything is still uncompleted. Started, but not quite yet finished....
We moved from our first apartment back to renting a room. It was great having our first apartment. Although it came with lots of baggage. Having your own place is great until you realize that you're having to buy all kinds of utensils and gadgets you didn't realize you needed.
As she reaches for the can of corn...she realizes that their is NO CAN OPENER.
 Having your own place is tough if  you don't come prepared.We moved in with the notion that every thing was going to be great. Then after 6 month it seemed as if 40% of the items in our new apartment were useful while the rest sorta just took up room.
We had way too much stuff in our apartment. At least too much stuff if it meant moving an entire apartment into a 10by10 room. We had to get a storage. It was expensive to get a storage shed. I did some research and if you're looking for a cheap storage place in Rohnert Park choose Self Storage. 
Pros: Affordable, buy one get 2months free, simple storage facility
Cons:They close at 6pm! Other than that unless you want some fancy airconditioned place try this place out :)
By the way if you do let me know because I could use the referrals! You get a bonus by referring someone!


Yeah great storage place to put some extra baggage away.
Speaking of baggage, I have my own that I'd like to get rid of. Mentally, that is. Moving into our room vs our old apartments has its perks. 
1. Start Over
2. Less Rent
3. Close bus-stop (here anyways)
4. Bigger Kitchen (love that)
5. Yard
6. etc, etc

But their is the one issue of: privacy. Not that privacy is some huge concept I should be looking forward to since I've moved twenty times throughout my childhood. It's the opposite for me. Generally I am not a "private" person. I've forced myself to just stay quiet and keep to myself much more than before. It's very frustrating. I'm holding things in because, although bad at it, I do try to stay astray from situations that will cause problems. Living with a new family is still so new to me. New smells, new habits, new food, new structure, and new lifestyles...well it's trickier than I thought. 
Not bad, just tricky.

I've changed though and I'm not sure I like it. I am more to myself because I'm scared of saying the wrong thing or being involved in what shouldn't be my issue. I just don't feel normal. Maybe it's the whole mom thing or being stressed out. But why? Why am I stressed out? Yeah, yeah you could try and comfort me, but I already realize that comfort isn't what I need. 
I need to be satisfied with myself, and I am not.
 We are all different and all have different goals. 
Do not read this and compare yourself to me though, just because I'm not in your situation doesn't mean that my troubles don't matter : to me that is. Writing about them makes me feel better in a way. It makes me touch and sense my issues without having to speak them and start breaking down crying not realizing why I'm upset. I'm female and we do that. Guys: it's better to just say "you're right and I'm sorry" in a sincere way (even fake if it has to be). If you don't we will get more upset and just make the entire environment unpleasant for everyone.  
         Anyways, I just finished organizing our room. It really needs a dresser (that deserves a rant, but I'll spare you). We seem to manage fitting everything nicely. That made me happy this week :) 
I wonder what the day will bring tomorrow? We will find out later. For now I'll go back to reading Breaking Dawn.

Farmer's Markets


 I recall when I was younger my family and I would go nearly every Wednesday in search of family time, and of course Willie Bird turkey legs!  

WillieRemember when there was only one farmer's market?
The "original" Wednesday night market in Santa Rosa on 4th street.
It's nice to know that things haven't changed much in that farmer's market. What has changed is that it is no long a solo market. Farmer's Markets have expanded to surrounding cities. Not in the hopes of taking the Santa Rosa one down, but rather to appreciate the fact that farmer's markets are here to stay!
Farmer's Markets are saving us from driving far just to have some fun.
This particalur posting is pertaining to a farmer's market which is in it's 2nd year now and by my third person perspective is the best farmer's market so far :)
Rohnert Park for a couple years was fairly dull with not a lot of community events where hundreds of people actually wanted to attend.

Robotchick BIO





My name is

Robotchick


 I am turning 22 on September 2. My daughter is turning 2 at the end of August. My husband is 22 and our 2 year anniversary will be this year on October 22nd.

This is a very big year for us. I am in one of the most stressful yet fulfilling times that I will have during the course of my life. I live in Rohnert Park, but Santa Rosa was my hometown until I was 15. Rohnert Park is a quite place to live in, but occasionally dull.  The season is nice right now because I'm able to take my daughter to pick blackberries and apples! 

As far as Education, my main goal is to get a Master's in Marketing. Specifically at the Standard Graduate School of Business. 
SG school is my number 1 choice. I have such a passion for marketing. I wasn't aware how much potential and strive I had for marketing until last semester. I decided on a whim to not attend an enrolled class and instead crash the marketing course. I ended up loving the material and realized that this was the area of business that interested me the most. I love the idea of molding your words and products in a way that will appeal to someone. The main reason I am interested in getting into marketing is so that I can help small businesses improve. I would like to be a Ninja marketer that will swiftly take down the corporate world by helping small businesses succeed!
I am working four days a week at Petaluma Coffee Company. 
We are a wholesale coffee and tea company. We roast all of our own coffee in small batches making the freshness and taste incomparable. The only downside to working here is that I don't own a car so I have to take the bus which takes about 2 hours of my time if I do a round trip. Other than that the environment is very laid back. If you make coffee at home I would love to bring you a sample sometime.

Why am I in Accounting? I ask myself that sometimes too because I really don't need it for my major. I am stubborn when it comes to what I learn. I have this strange outlook that I will choose what it best for me as far as what will be useful to me in the future. Accounting just happens to be one of those things. I like looking at a balance sheet and knowing what an asset and liability is. I want to be a Marketer so therefore knowing the language of business will only give me an advantage. I look forward to doing well in this class. Occasionally I might seem to be dozing off, but that's only because I work four days a week, have a 2 year old and a husband. Plus, to top it all off I'm taking 19.5 units.
 I'm pretty stubborn, but I am a confident girl and now that everything will work out eventually.
