Yesterday was one of the better days I've had in a while. I'm Umatilla OR working across the river in and around Paterson WA if that means anything to anyone, which it probably won't, but still thats where I am. So the work is beyond easy. We have very few shovel tests to do so we spend most of our time driving around dealing with logistics that ( Read more... )

So I have a friend who's getting married Sept 12th and she's having some trouble finding someone to officiate the ceremony. She's not really religious but doesn't want a justice of the peace unless she has to. So far her Lutherans and the Unitarians in town are busy on her date and she's not super comfortable with anyone else because she's not ( Read more... )

oh my goodness!! I got work!! Woohoo! Because of my trip to New Orleans I missed out on the start of a fairly big project in eastern oregon so I didn't expect to be put on it this week or really at all so this morning I get a very surprising phone call to tell me one of the other kids had to drop out and was I available to come on this session?

Is watching an 8 yr old all weekend. It could be a loooooong two days. His mom lets him eat all kinds of junk food and it goes against my personal judgement to let him have a slurpee before a baseball game. Water is better. I guess I should lighten up or something. But there's going to be a lot of spongebob and avatar and pokemon for the next 24 ( Read more... )

New Orleans was amazing! I really loved it despite its lack of any rule following, the dirt and the smell. If I ignored the smell it was better. BUT really I did love it and I had a great trip. It was really great to see my friend L who's living down there. Her boyfriend (who I've never met before) is really great and a good guy. I like that the ( Read more... )

K is applying for grad school this fall so I'm thinking me and her will live in Seattle together until she goes to school and then I'll move to Portland because I don't plan on applying until the fall she'll be starting school. That gives me a year in seattle and a year in portland and then I'm off for grad school. By the time she gets a job, pays ( Read more... )

It seems like whenever I make a plan and a decision it doesn't go right and then I change my mind so it feels like I'm constantly just changing my mind and not doing anything which sits poorly with decisive, action oriented me ( Read more... )

Oh dear. My take charge app was denied by the state and now I owe Planned Parenthood an absurd amount of money. Add that to the credit cards, the school loans, the car payments, the car insurance and everything else that people pay for in this world on a monthly basis and I'm starting to get stressed out. And really this wouldn't even be a problem ( Read more... )
