my oldest friend brenda

My turn!

1st let me say how glad I am that you have a more stable like now. You always seemed to be at your best back then when you were single, yet you seem to attract a new guy within months once you were single.

I'm so glad you met Will, have a career and are happy. By the way how is your Thyroid situation these days?

Okay about my life.......

What is your daughters name? YAZMEEN ALICIA
What is your home like? SMALL, BUILT IN THE LATE 1950'S. 4 BEDROOMS, 2 BATH NEAR LOS GATOS, CA
When did you start your own business? WE STARTED IN 8/04, BUT BECAME INCORPORATED IN 1/05. WE HAVE 3 PART TIME EMPLOYEES IN ADDITION TO OURSELVES. WE STARTED A PART TIME BUSINESS IN 1997 PREPARING ACCOUNTINGS TO BE PRESENTED TO THE COURTS IN VARIOUS COUNTIES ACCORDING TO THE CALIFORNIA PROBATE CODE BOOK FOR VARIOUS TRUSTEES, CONSERVATORS & GUARDIANS. WHEN I QUIT MY JOB, IT BECAME MY FULL TIME JOB, WHEN MIRCEA QUIT HIS JOB SOME 3 YEARS AFTER ME.... WE STARTED DRAGOMIR FIDUCIARY SERVICES, INC. SINCE HE DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANY PAPERWORK, I AM THE CEO, PRESIDENT & SECRETARY. MIRCEA IS THE CFO, VP & TREASURER. MAKES BOARD MEETINGS GO A LOT FASTER.
How is your mother? MY MOTHER IS DOING FINE. SHE HAD A CAREER CRISIS BACK IN 1994 & 1995 AND ENDED UP MOVING TO MISSOURI (SINCE HER BROTHER TOLD HER THEY HAD JOBS THERE) BUT MOM DIDN'T WANT TO WORK ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE AT FORD AND LIVED THERE WORKING AT A BANK UNTIL HER PARENTS HEALTH BECAME A FAMILY CRISIS. SO SINCE SHE WAS THE ONLY SIBLING WITHOUT A HUSBAND OR CHILDREN AT HOME, SHE QUIT HER JOB TO MOVE TO WISCONSIN TO TAKE CARE OF HER PARENTS. BEFORE SHE LEFT MISSOURI SHE KEPT A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT THAT FORTUNATELY FOUND THE BREAST CANCER BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE. SHE HAD SURGERY AND RADIATION THERAPY, THE CANCER HAS NOT RETURNED TO THIS DAY. SHE MOVED TO WICONSIN SHORTLY AFTER COMPLETING HER RADIATION THERAPY AND HAS BEEN THERE EVERY SINCE. MY GRANDFATHER DIED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND MY MOM JUST CONVINCED MY GRANDMOTHER TO MOVE TO AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY WITH HER IN 2005. BOTH ARE VERY HAPPY.
Do you keep in touch with anyone from the old neighborhood? (Stacey) I ONLY KEEP IN TOUCH WITH MY FRIEND LENA THAT STACY AND I MET AT INDEPENDENCE. I HAVEN'T TALKED TO ANYONE FROM THE APARTMENT COMPLEX IN A VERY LONG TIME. STACY AND I SORT OF LOST TOUCH SINCE SHE HAS BEEN LIVING UP NORTH TOWARD SACRAMENTO IN LITTLE TOWNS FOR YEARS NOW. SHE KEEPS MOVING, CHANGING HER PHONE NUMBER, ETC. I CAN'T KEEP UP. I REFUSE TO CONTACT HER MOM JUST TO GET HER ADDRESS FOR THE 4TH TIME. SHE KNOWS WHERE I AM, SHE'S BEEN TO MY HOUSE SEVERAL TIMES.
What has been happening in your life since 1994? SINCE 1994..... GRADUATED WITH AN AA IN LIBERAL ARTS FROM A JR. COLLEGE, DECIDED NOT TO GO TO UNIVERSITY. WORKED AT A PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY AS A RECEPTIONIST/SECRETARY FOR SEVERAL YEARS GOT PROMOTED TO PROPERTY MANAGER ASSISTANT BUT BEFORE I COULD START GOT PROMOTED TO EXECUTIVE ASSIST. TO THE SR. VP (HIS ASST. WENT OUT SICK AND NEVER CAME BACK) DID THAT FOR A YEAR OR SO AND GO TRANSFERED TO EXECUTIVE ASSIST. TO THE VP OF OPERATIONS. DID THAT FOR A WHILE THEN WHEN BOTH VPS WERE GONE I ENDED UP ASSISTING A PROPERTY MANAGER WHO DIDN'T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE, THE OFFICE MANAGER WAS SUBTLY HARRASING SEVERAL PEOPLE AND THINGS WERE NOT GOING WELL, I ENDED UP HAVING A BREAKDOWN AND QUITING (TURNS OUT THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE VP OF OPERATIONS TOO). EITHER WAY I GOT A JOB AS EXECUTIVE ASSIST TO THE MANAGING PARTNER AT A CPA FIRM SUPPORTING HIM AND SEVERAL MANAGERS. I DID THAT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND ENDED UP QUITING FROM THERE WHEN I WAS PREGNANT.
PERSONALLY, MIRCEA AND I WERE LIVING IN A 1 BEDROOM APARTMENT WHEN I LAST TALKED TO YOU, WE THEN BOUGHT A CONDO AND LIVED THERE FOR 5 OR SO YEARS, THEN SOLD IT AND BOUGHT THE HOUSE WE LIVE IN NOW.
WE HAVE OWNED AND SOLD SEVERAL VEHICLES DURING THIS TIME AND I AM CURRENTLY A VAN DRIVING MOM. HE DRIVES AN SUV.

I HAD A COMPLICATED PREGNANCY THAT ENDED WITH A PARTIAL HISTORECTOMY ON THE DELIVERY TABLE. UNFORTUNATLEY, THIS ONLY CHILD IS ONLY GOING TO HAVE ONE CHILD.

MAY YOU HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN YOU WANT.

P.S. My brother-in-law has lived in Colorado for years now. Always near Denver never near Boulder.

Your friend, Bren
