Hey!
So I get the keys to the house tomorrow
I'm going to get some people in to look at the wood floors Friday about re-finishing, then off to Albequerque for a wedding. I'd like to get the floors re-finished before I move in...seems easier that way.
I look forward to some good New Mexican food smothered in green chile sauce
P.S., my mood is...

so by now the deed is done. congratulations home owner! are you at home hiding under your mattress now that you having this awesomely crushing weight hanging over you? i knowi was when we bought this place...is this your 1st house? alledgedly there is nothing liek you 1st house...
ah, is this the wedding that your ex will be at? no wonder you were ranting about her. with a visit so close at hand i am sure she is top of mindshare. just remember, weddings, anger & booze don't mix well. (and yes, i do speak from experience.) hopefully everyone wil be well behaved, but weddings can be a toss up.
yes, my twin, i can totally relate to your rant about your ex feeling guilty instead of just treating people right int the 1st place. the consumer spend much time apologizing to me & my response, is, "just don't do it. sorry only goes so far."
nm is supposed to be really cool. i drove thru once, almost, hitting a heard of elk, but can't say that i've actually spent time there.
ew, i certainly don't want to play kissie face with any girl that has a face full of goo. myself, i mostly wear
only when corporate occassions demand it. (back in the day, i used to make more tip $ when ihad a face full of .)
i am down fro having a drink, but do i have to choose between beer & whiskey?! cuz i likes 'em both. mmmmmmmmmm beer & whiskey

actually my neighbors have always been friendly, but very much on the square side. when we 1st moved in we were coming from el cerrito, where none of our neighbors spoke to us until we were packing the moving truck to leave. & we lived there for 4 years! the 1st day we were here these people we talking to us, making us dinner & offering us their help. coming from a city where no one talked to each other, it was a little overwhelming at 1st, but now i like this college town friendliness.
good for you for not rocking back & forth in a dark room for 2 days after signing your life away.
but hiking & drinking for a few hours do fall into the decompression realm.
bummer about your friends moving to europe.
the upside is that you will have someone to stay with the next time you go. are they planning on going somewhere that you would actually want to visit? can they legally work in the EU? it can be tough for americans to get work visas over there given the high rate of unemployed europeans.
ah closure...that can be a tricky 1. what does it mean anyway?
sometimes you think you have it & you don't or you think you never got it & you really did. or 1 person got it, but not the other. since you say that she is an expert at passive aggresiveness, she'll probably never want to give it to you just so it will always stick in your craw. after being together so long i am sure that you know how to push each others buttons. i know we do...
i think the best one can hope for is to resolve it for one's self. something i am working on too...those years happened & there were good times that i don't want to forget despite all the negative crap that went along with it. god i'm deep. HA!
yes, let's have drink when you are back from nm. could be in the big e or the big c, just as long as you don't openly mock my current vehicle: a shit kickin' 73 ford f250. (the consumer has the real car cuz he needs it for work. see how nice i am? i pay for the damn thing & i still let him use it! oh sorry, that was an un expected rant...) thank god i don't have to choose btw whiskey & beer. truth be told i have been siding in favor of whiskey lately to cut down on the calories, but don't let beer know: he get's sooooooooooo jealous.

OK, so the snow is getting pretty sparse up in the mountains. Although the best snow of the year was only 3 weeks ago...the warm weather hit pretty hard over the last two weeks.
But despite the poor snow, a day on the mountain with a couple of friends did my a whole world of good for my mood

well, simple is best & i am trying to keep it as simlpe as possible!
yes, i hope it sells quickly too...as soon as it sells then our dealings will be on a strictly voluntary basis which will ease things a bit. i'll also be living somewhere else once it does sell, so he'll no longer have a key that works. YEAH!
i would attempt write something clever, but i am just too tired. must sleep soon

I'm glad to hear you had a good time and didn't hit your head on any rocks.
I have a test on Thursday, so this week is a bad one for hanging out. I'm such a loser. And next Tuesday I have a rotation at a Dr.s office in Philomath. Maybe next Thursday? I really wanna talk to you and see your pictures. Dammit! Things never work out, do they?

there is still snow around?! is it real or man made? it's nice to live in a place where you can choose to drive to the snow instead of being forced to slog thru it daily.
in the "cocked" department with any luck they'll be a little from column a & a little from column b nothing like being pie eye in the outdoors. i loves it...
seriously, those east coasters used to say things to me like, "i picture you on your redwood deck feeding the deer." it's like they all have the same west coast fantasy going in their heads.

Is there still snow up there? It's been so warm I woulda thought it all melted by now....or at least turned to slush.
I hope there's enough up there for you to have fun.

hilarious! it's funny cuz it's true...i've always been an enforcer of the "you must be clean before any hanky panky" rule & hold myself to the same standard. though i do bend on when the showering must happen, since in the right size shower it can be fun to tackle the project together.
yes, as your reverse parallel universe twin, i can totally understand about the emotional roller coaster...i am on 1 myself. i'm taking it like an alchoholic: 1 day @ a time...i keep thinking that if i completely hated him this would be easier, but i am sure that's not the case. hating him wouldn't get rid of the feeling of failure & knowing that i am the 1 that is walking away. hating myself for being a quiter... but when i think back on our relationship i have been talking to him about all of our "issues" for a long time & if i stay with this then i will be settling.
a still? are you brewin' moonshine on yer new land?

essential oils? airplane fuel? that's soooo oregon. & all completely legal, as i am sure is the rest of your behavior. i apologize if i offended your family, friends, or any pets you might have.
ah yes, very satisfying when former co-workers/bosses realize how great you were. i worked for my last company for 5 years & in that time we were bought & sold 3 times. the last 2 were official mergers, so they were nightmares! it's always great when you have a high stress job that is made worse by constantly having to prove yourself to a new management team of east coast ivy league snobs.
in theater, the rivalry between chicago & nyc is legendary & after this last merger i understand why. to an old school new yorker, every other part of the country is inferior & insignifigant. so if you are from somewhere else, you will never be able to prove yourself. especially if you are on the west coast, since we spend all our time drinking wine in our hot tubs.
in my defense, i didn't really "forget" it just took me 2 days to remember this 14 year old 1 time incident...& i initially remembered him, but not the actual act. my memory lapse is not due to volume, since compared to most of my girlfirends & sister i am WAY behind in the #'s game, but more of signifigance & maybe a little trauma. now i am remembering everything about him & what a dick he was. no wonder i deleted him from my r.a.m.!

OK, I'm feeling moderately better, I just got thrown into a sad funk and woke up feeling horrible. I drove out to the coast and watched the seals playing in the water for a while, that made me feel a little better. Still but not it such a bad way.

tanx yer reel smart but seriously, as silly as it may seem i do need to be reminded periodicaly that he is abusive & wrong. as with most abusers/bullies he is also sometimes wonderful & as i am packing up our things i am finding stuff that reminds me of the good & that's hard.
but the little scene @ jerry's yesterday helped to remind me of why i started all this in the 1st place. (i wish i had a picture of the paint guy's face. his reaction was priceless.) i was actually so angry that if i was i guy i would have knocked the consumer of resources "the fuck out." but instead i shut my mouth & walked away like big girl.
i'll take your word on the tweeker. kudoos to you for trying to make totally fresh start, but poo-poos to her for getting in the middle. that's not the kind of 3some most people are looking for. (sorry i gotta make jokes or i'll go crazy...)

ohmygodwhatever!!!!!!!!!!!!! are we twins from a reverse paralell universe? ha!
let's get mr. agro & ms. p.a. together so they can have a lovely manic life together. he was 1 of my favorite people, i mean i picked him for crying out loud!!! of course when we were dating he was angel & NEVER acted like like an angry idiot.
but now the bad outweighs the good & i know i need some space from it. taking that trip really helped me to see that i am happier not being affixed to or living with him. i wish i could blame his behavior on drugs: that would be a an easier fix than this behavior he learned from his family.
it's all so typical...well at least i know i'm "normal"

i LOVE david sedaris! i caught him on his last tour & really enjoyed it. do you come to eugene alot to see shows? if so we should get together sometime when you're down here.
yes, i know it's HUGE shock that i had a great time in jamaica. not! but given my current situation (laid off, breaking up & selling my house) i was worried that most of my time would be spent brooding, lamenting, & other wise being a wet blanket. there was some of that, but it was overshadowed by the good things.

i know: i keep going back & forth between feeling like i've lost my mind & finally come to my senses. (i'm either really smart or really dumb...) maybe a little of both.
kudos for being the bigger person & calling your ex. if i had access to that fine scotch i'm sure i'ld be hitting it too... it's always good to try to cut thru the drama before it happens. of course some people tend to thrive on it. myself i am working on letting go of all that bullshit. i do not want to be bitter & nasty like my sister who lives with her 3 cats & 2 dogs instead of attempting human contact.
actually dinner & drinks was very pleasant. it wasn't like a romantic date: more like 2 friends getting together. the emotionally disturbing part came after when he said "see i'm a nice guy & i haven't changed my behavior at all." and "can't you put up with a little yelling?" yelling?! he left out spitting, throwing things, breaking things, kicking doors in, scaring ths shit out of the dogs, & acting like a maniac in general. this drove home for me that he is not pickin' up what i've been layin' down. i could put up with it, but i am CLEARLY NOT GOING TO ANY MORE. yeah for me!!!
he's already dating again, which mostly makes me feel sorry for whoever he's going out with cuz he hasn't worked on his anger problem enough.
hope the pics all turn out.

i can totally relate: he is also very much like a child & can be sweet as pie. there is always good & bad in relationships/people. the question is if there is enough good to balance out the other crap.

i was in el cerrito 98-02, right near the bart tracks, about a mile from the mallard. did you ever have a drink there? (my girl robin made meanest mudslide this side of the pacos. mmmm mudslides) i liked the bay area, but don't ever really miss it & i've been here for 3 years. but i have had the luxury of traveling for work. we'll see if i go crazy now that that job has ended...do you miss cali?
no, i'm not really into baseball or any sports really. i like going to live games & i'll watch 1 on tv if someone has it on, but i can't classify myself as a true fan. i used to love going to cubs games cuz the fans are so hilarious. don't tell the rest of the s. siders...

i am all too familiar with germany & how annoying the germans can be with all the world domination. ha! my "brother" that i have known since 4th grade is german & i am also great friends with his mother. we often joke that his mom was deported by the neat & tidy police, since she is not. (1 time the house was ransacked by thieves & my bro asked "mom, have you been cleanning up again?") actually she & i have talked about taking a trip to germany forever & now that i am footloose & fancy free we may make it a reality next spring. i will of course, need to dust off my german, but i used to be conversational so hopefully i haven't lost it completely. of course, they all speak perfect english & will be correcting my grammar non-stop, but hey, that's part of their charm, right?
have a great time @ the wedding getting smothered in green chile sauce
