Today is the day. It has been a long put off event here in our home, but the time has come for that oh so fun tradition...deep cleaning before the family comes. Needless to say, my mother would never bother about a house that's a bit cluttered, but a dirty one will certainly raise some eyebrows. Needless to say, this woman's house is immaculate ( Read more... )

Saturday night Ian and I headed out to the Casino to see Comedy on the Coast. I had been reading the paper earlier and low and behold, who's picture did I see but Tyler Boah's! So we figured it would be fun and off we went. He was so funny! It's always great to see an old friend succeeding at what they love to do. The next guy was kindof a ( Read more... )

Wow. For those of you who haven't heard about the storm in the NW, check it out cuz it's crazy! Newport is already rediculous, and the "storm" isn't supposed to START until 4 pm and peak between 7 and midnight. You can barely see the ocean from my deck through the rain and the wind. We're actually heading off to the store to stock up on dry ( Read more... )

Day one of the Detox. Feeling good. Although I hate that I can't have any of certain things. Whenever I restrict my diet I always want what I've restricted even more. But, the scramble this morning was mighty delicious and that definitely helps!

I have the biggest zit. Seriously, it's the biggest one I've ever had in my entire life. While it's painful and about the size of a quarter, it's actually pretty impressive. It kinda looks like I'm attempting to grow a second chin. I tried popping it. OUCH! I think it's actually about 5 zits all right next to each other. The only real ( Read more... )

My downstairs neighbor is a jerk. They always have their music blaring, although thankfully usually not late at night, but this morning I asked him to turn it down as Ian hasn't been sleeping or feeling well and I wanted him to be able to rest. Besides, it's a little hard to concentrate on anything while I have bass vibrating loudly through my ( Read more... )

Weird, I'm back at Cottage Grove. I wish I was going back tonight, but there's a chance they could call me in tomorrow so I'm going to stay until 8 am tomorrow and take off the if they haven't called. That way I'll still have a good free day to get work done if they don't call, and I can teach if they do. I just miss Ian. Plus there's supposed ( Read more... )

The two things that made my day better than yesterday. I got an e-mail from the lincoln county district office saying they will endorse me substitute teaching (which means after the paperwork I should be able to start subbing by winter term), and I got my GRE scores back. Guess what I got on the analytical writing section...a 6! Which is the ( Read more... )

I'm just about to take off to Eugene so I can take the GRE tomorrow! Wish me luck!

ps. Kir, I'd love to see you...hint, hint. Answer your phone! Love you!
