Been in Seattle for nearly a month and a half. I have most of my wedding business squared away. I have a job, fingers crossed, squared away. I have a place to move to in September squared away. Now comes the hard part. I started writing this passage thinking that I was going to say something really distinct and profound about my life. But, at ( Read more... )

After 4 agonizing years in the rat race that's come to be my home, I am returning to god's country. Returning to good friends, family, and a city that I can't live well without. In tow, I bring another kitty and a freedom fiance, by the name of Antoine. We will bring our weary selves to the doorstep of a modest home set on a hill overlooking the ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I went with my cousin to a recording studio. She's applying for a music scholarship for college, and needed to send in some tapes. The guy runs this studio out of his basement, and, after watching me coach my cousin, asked me to sing a few lines. Always eager to play my pipes, I bust out with a little "They Can't Take That Away From ( Read more... )

I just thought up a really cheesy pick up line:

Know what my favorite letter of the alphabet is? "Q" because it's useless without "U."

Hahahaha!!! I crack myself up!

With much relief, I finally have a slow work day. It's been months, but I've finally caught up. I know it won't last long, but I'm going to enjoy it whilst I can. So... Now for the big news. There is a possiblity (knock on not wood) that I might be moving back to the great northwest. Antoine's interviewing for a fairly lucrative job in the ( Read more... )

Life can be such a lovely thing, and it can be the worst torture imaginable. It's been torture lately. Two weeks ago, tomorrow, my friend Jeb died. Friday night, Antoine and I met up with Brian and Sara. They're good friends of ours and were really really close to Jeb. After an evening of much celebration, because it was Sara's birthday, we ( Read more... )

Geez, work is really starting to make me a little nutty. I'm starting to go a little crazy. Ok... so that's a bit of an understatement. I'm very truly and badly in need of a vacation. I wish I had more vacation time, but the firm made me use what I'd accrued for the funeral. As if that was any kind of a vacation!

Whilst I was sitting at my desk today, about to lose my mind, I decided to take a break, and surf the internet. I stumbled upon one of those fun little quiz websites and I noticed a name generator for monster names. Turns out that I'm the "Undead Worm." Let me introduce myself. I enjoy fingernails, hiding in closets and terrifying priests. As ( Read more... )

I am angry and tired. Angry because I can't be superwoman. I can't go everywhere at once. There's so much to life and it makes me angry to miss it. I would feel the same if I were anywhere else. I'm also very tired. Everyone's calling me a party-pooper, but I don't care. They don't know what I'm going through or what I saw. If they knew, ( Read more... )

It has now been 48 hours since they pulled my grandpa N. off all life support systems. He's still going. Only just though. I don't know what he's holding on for. Maybe a miracle. Another chance. I've been thinking about eulogies. It's really pretty incredible to think about my grandfathers life. He loves life and appreciates all of the ( Read more... )
