I'm up in Portland. Just like Oregon there is a big gray cloud over my head and blue skies all around it. I love it here. Not Portland, just Oregon.
I am sitting at a place called Staccato Gelato in the Sellwood area having a cup of coffee and a scoop of white chocolate almond raspberry gelato. Yummy. To think just yesterday I swore off...

We are open to go anywhere. If you think the wait will be too much at Nicholas', or just want to try some place new... anything is cool. Give me a call. There are tons of places in Sellwood even. We'll figure something out.

Oregon is the best.

My reality is a trip these days.
I love the new job.
I hate moving. Can I just throw it all away and start over?
4 days in P-town up and coming.
Old job stress.
Babies due.

I've don my own version before, but it involves melaluca, warm water, and hanging upside down over the bed and screaming in pain whilst doing something remeniscent of a 3 year old pee pee dance. I would much rather have a faucet

How are you holding up?? I just saw your post on Trixx blog, just wanted to stop by and tell you that my heart just SANK when I read what you said about your honey. I was really, really hoping that he'd somehow be spared a deployment, for both of your sakes.
Please know that you are always in my heart
Please know that you are always in my heart
Even though this article came out in December 07 and it's now August 08 this is what we are talking about in my home.
I am feeling a bit anxious today about my new job and money and blah blah blah.
I pretend to not really worry about what May 2009 will bring.

I'm here for you ........things will be ok
trixxx:
umm yes I am mostly this happy as of late. I share so much of my kids here because if people ant to get to know me , 14 hours of my day is devoted to them so it is hard to avoid. My mouth has been ok lately, just waiting for benefits to come through to start fixing them ...I have been so busy though and I know that sept is gonna be CRAZY with derby overload (getting ready for my debut bout in oct) and back to school and the programming starts again for the centre that I find myself getting so anxious about too much activity that I can't sleep at night...and I worry about losing it completely
but I am just trying to stay focused day to day , and breathe
I think you are very cool too!
I am not sure about a registry, I found my team on facebook through a search, maybe that would help you?
I would find it VERY difficult to go about the process of making myself so self sufficient "in case" ..urghh , it is totoally logical and responsible but just effin yucky all at once.

Drove up to P-town today and took my skills exam. It went great. I just love what I do, so it made the whole exam thing a bit less stressful.
Portland it a long drive though. It's about 2 1/2 hours away.

Congratz on doing well on the exam
Well I'm a bit stressed about money right now.
All these great things in my life have increased the need for cash.
Trip to Portland for testing tomorrow will cost like $100. I have already spent $700 on it.
Class next week $495 plus funds to live as I will be in Portland for 4 days, as least I have a place to stay.

WHAT LILLI SAID!
What do I think of passive aggressive people? I think you need a fucking handgun!
I think small businesses are a wonderful thing, but you shouldn't generalize. some are ok, some good, and some shit.
I can't function really drunk nor have I seen anyone who could.
I think bartenders usually put the same alc, in drinks for men & women, but put more in drinks for people they like and less (or spit) in the "don't likes." (Tip your bartender.)
Never batted for the same team and no longer play the game. (When they choose up sides I am the last not picked and no one wants me, so I take my bat, my balls, and my glove and go home.)
No to Savage Love,Tenacious-D, Idiocracy, and pot, BUT since I have glaucoma and my idiot optometrist prescribed the most expensive drops (probably to keep the perks coming) without trying the cheaper ones first, if I lived in Canada or some other Cannabis friendly area, I would be self medicating. It is the best thing since they took phospholine iodide off the market.

The hubby is home. It has been a long month without him. I am so happy. Our household is back to normal. The records are playing again. He always plays me Joni Mitchell "All I Want". I just like the way she sounds in my house.

I was just wondering if I should be worried about the trembling I was doing last night...
Ok so the planet is aligning itself just right for me.
I am currently making big changes. There is unfortunately still some drama that goes with change. I am trying not to focus on it though. It is hard when someone (the old boss) kind of lashes out when I say I want to make changes. ughh. I will be there for a bit more...

Have you ever had a weird experience quitting a job? yeah, like quitting a job that I really loved because I was told we'd be getting laid off in six weeks, only to find out that as soon as I left the situation resolved itself and everyone kept their jobs
Do you take things personally? Sometimes...but not as much as I used to
How many times have you moved in your life? way too many to remember!
What's for breakfast today? I made french toast with strawberries and nectarines, smothered in butter and brown sugar
Did you ever have to move while you were in school? Many, many times! My dad was career Navy, and never got over the urge to move every two years!
Do all your glasses match in your kitchen? I think at least two of them do
What is the last thing you had to drink? Non-alcoholic? Water Alcoholic beverage? Shot of Jose Cuervo with lemon and salt
Are you tired? all day, every day!
***************************************************************
Heya missy!
I didn't realize your man had been gone for a month as well. I knew he was out of town for work, just not that he was gone a month. Just wondering if that was the longest month in the whole entire world for you?! It sure seemed to be for me
Hope you have an awesome homecoming for him!

Good luck with the changes. A few years ago I changed jobs and my old boss lashed out at me too. I remember it hurt as I really thought we were friends. But then I realized part of the reason I wanted the change is that she was not a very good boss.
There is a Buddhist saying "Is it so?" So when people talk shit I remind myself of this saying.
Have you ever had a weird experience quitting a job? Yes, see above. I quite and my old boss was very hostile and did a lot of things that were very shameful. But at the end of the day I am happy.
Do you take things personally? Always. I really do care about what people think of me. I want to be well liked and accepted. I am working on not letting my ego take control of me.
How many times have you moved in your life? Hummm... I can count eleven moves
What's for breakfast today? Blueberry yogurt
Did you ever have to move while you were in school? Yes, I moved four times my senior year in high school... but never changed schools.
Do all your glasses match in your kitchen? Ha, no.
What is the last thing you had to drink? Coffee
Are you tired? I am feeling tired today

Congratulations on the job interview!
Do you struggle with change? Not really. In my current job they make major changes every six months. I have been with the company almost ten years and have had a dozen different bosses. I just go with the flow and do my best to adapt. But if I am not happy I make my own changes as well. Too much of my life I just grind and bared it... now I try and take my destiny into my own hands. I think we have more control over are lives then we perceive.
Would you move for a good job? It would have to be a really good job or if I had to do it to make ends meet
Do you live near family? Yes, my parents, brother and in laws all live within ten miles of me. My sister lives in San Diego about 100 south... so not too far
Is it hot where you are? It is comfortable. A little hotter then I like but I think most people would trade my coastal heat for tipple digits and high humility
.
Have you ever been in a natural disaster? I survived the Northridge earthquake of '94... as well as sharing a bathroom with some roommates that left what can be classified as natural disasters.
Have you ever seen someone die? Yes. Most recently with my wifes grandmother. She was surrounded by family and friends when they took her off oxygen. I was also a witness to a semi-truck hitting a cyclist, unfortunately the truck won.
Do you take vitamins? Everyday
Do you like salad? Everyday
What is your favorite salad dressing? Balsamic or Italian

In color or black and white? I believe I dream in color
What do you think about dreaming? Not much, I usually don't remember them so I don't really think about them.
Have you ever been lost? You obviously have never driven with me
Have you ever been found? Once.
Do you like sunrise or sunset best? Sunsets
Why? Cause I am usually awake for them, I don't like being awake for sunrises.
Do you have any siblings? Nope I am an only child.
Do you like chickens? I like chickens in my Tummy.
Do you eat chicken? I do eat chicken.
School here doesn't start till Sept 2nd, so I still have another week off. I am so not ready to go back to work
