I figured I haven't written in a while and what better time then New Years. I actually had to work on News Years eve... until 1 am... just like I worked 10 hours on Christmas day. Yeah I know it sucks, but time-and-a-half is a good motivation! It was so funny, I was at the Starbucks at Pioneer Courthouse Square and we were counting down with party ( Read more... )

Kevin came back from Hawaii and went again. This time for a few days in Las Vegas for a hydrography convention. He'll be back Thursday at 2 am. I'm parking the car for him on Wednesday night. Any volunteers to ride the max with me on the way home? I'll pay your way, errr I'll give you a ticket to validate I mean. Mmm, left over Halloween candy is ( Read more... )

I've been partying like a college student the past few days. It's been totally awesome! I really missed being social and I think going out with my work friends and my old high school friends is just one of the things I'm most thankful for in Portland! Sure I miss Kevin, he's in Hawaii right now, but this time was much easier then the first trip. I ( Read more... )

I'm here at Erin and Megan's house waiting for the party to come back so I can join them for Erin's bday. I'm feeling a little left out-- not that the unknown saxiphonist playing in the living room helps that at all. I just wanted to take this moment of calm and boredom to update a bit on my life. Kevin has been back from his job for a week now. Oh ( Read more... )

Kevin made it through the hurricane! yeah! Maybe he'll be home by christmas... that's kinda a joke but not really. My toe is still feeling gross. It looks gross too. But at least it's stopped hurting. It's still swollen and has been since the surgery, but I am rubbing antiobiotic cream in it twice a day ( Read more... )

Dude, have you guys ever seen the MSNBC "To Catch a Predator" and dude that show messes with your head. I am so bad some sexual predators have been arrested in california because of this show. Thank goodness for that show. It is kinda funny to see the interviewer work them over, because obviously they are trying to cover their tracks and then they ( Read more... )

Hey everyone! The move to Portland went fine. Kevin is in the Caribbean on a boat still. He left the day after he graduated and hasn't been back since. Please keep him in your prayers due to the fact that Hurricane Dean has grown to a Category 4 hurricane with winds over 150mph. I'm scared for him. But he called me yesterday via satellite phone and ( Read more... )

Well it's happened! I'm in Portland! yeahhhhh! It makes me super duper dippity happy! I'm still trying to get the apartment figured out-- there are like 10 things broken including a window the window cleaners broke out completely in my bedroom... nice. But hopefully by the end of the week, the repairs will be over with and I will be feeling a ( Read more... )

It made me reflect a lot on my own life and the choices I make... life is so short and sometimes I find difficulty in taking chances. With Michelle Oliver dying in September and my friend Amelia dying in college and now Micaela... it just makes me want to do something fantastic with my life. Almost to honor the people that have gone before me. ( Read more... )
