The deadline looms
I think I am going to be MIA for most of the week. I have my first deadline for this term on Thursday and I still have a LOT of work to do. The birthday bash was super fun. I had a margarita that I fell in love with – but after 3, I still [...]
Mah Burpday…
D is playing hookey and I missed a package from the mailman! Doh! But it’s a beautiful day !! Thanks for the birthday texts guys And now off to lunch!
Go by Bike
August is Go By Bike month! (although I’m not sure whether this is local or not)…but go to the site. Take a look – especially if you are local, and give a try to going by bike!
Thank you for being a friend…
Golden Girls actress passes. I used to love this show. For some reason, I thought about Grannie when I watched it, but I think that’s just beacuse it “took place” in Florida and Grannie also had a fondness for interesting earrings. She had some of the funniest lines on television at the time… RIP
When it’s just not worth fighting about….
I’ve had some hiccups with friends recently. I’m either excluded from the important things, or some get on their high horses, hurt my feelings, and the blame the whole situation on me. Now, shit happens. I totally get that. But I’m more than a little tired of fighting with people. My mantra is “life’s too [...]
The worst news ever….
Avoid jalapenos.… damnit man! I need to make salsa!
Dr. Horrible…
is fucking hysterical! Please please please watch. Even D thinks it’s funny and he hates musicals.
this n that….
It’s been a rough week overall. I have very supportive friends that are helping me through being out of work, but then I found out that I’m not eligible for unemployment this quarter. If I file in September, then I am eligible, but right now I don’t have enough hours. It’s a screwy system that [...]
Portland International Beer Festival
Portland International Beer Festival Mmmmmmm…..beer. Scraping the pennie together and going. Why? Because I love beer and beer loves me.
And…….. another application
I’ve spent all morning applying for jobs. What irritates the snot out of me is when I have to submit my resume AND fill out a fucking application. It’s like pulling fucking teeth. I can’t remember phone numbers or addresses, and somehow I lost the “work history” file I compiled during my last job hunt. [...]
My ass hurts
But I just got home from my first Night Ride! There was movie stop (those are all the super dark photos), the disco stop (the blurry photos) and doughtnuts at the end. We chatted strangers up, my chain fell off, we passed people wearing outrageous costumes, and had a lot of fun. We are totally [...]
The update
Valentine has a mass in his bladder. This is unusual for cats, but common in dogs of his age (which is still not old, damnit). The problem is that we don’t know if it’s cancer or not. The test the Vet ran yesterday came back inconclusive. What’s next? There are several options. D and I [...]
Val….part II
He was pissing blood again so we just ran him up to the vet. They are keeping him for now, to try to figure out what the problem is (D came home early due to the “MoodyMeow got laid off n shit” stuff), and we hope to find out what’s going on. She called him [...]
I just got “laid off”
I’m numb. I will probably be out of touch for a few days so….. yeah.
Tickets
I bought Tickets for both Hellboy II and The Dark Knight. I’m joyful.
Yippee
My Budokan teacher, who had cancelled the class due to low attendance and not being able to afford the space, has gone outside. Meaning? I’m going to class in Laurelhurst Park. I’m very excited. I think that just made my day.
A year ago today…
I think. I’m really shitty with dates, but I think a year ago-ish, we arrived in Portland. We spent the 4th with my Mom in Frisco, that much I do remember. But we’ve been here a year, and a lot has changed. Too much has remained the same. And time marches on. Here is what [...]
Bamboo
It’s a grass. It flowers infrequently, has been used for everything from flooring to bike frames, and you can’t kill it. It’s beautiful but resilient, tough and able to withstand extreme circumstances. My favorite cohort at work bought me a little bamboo plant and brought it in this morning. Of course, on the way into [...]
Didn’t…and did
Didn’t.. Go to the blues fest. Had a little “moment” so D and I stayed home. Vacuum print out my stuff like I wanted to. Wash the car. I think I will need a pick-axe to get the sap off the windshield. Finish organizing the photos. Get paid for the last week I was gone. [...]
Too busy to remember – a ramble
It just dawned on me that we left Florida a year ago. We’ve missed a year of tropical storms, mosquitoes, palmetto bugs, opossums (sort of…they have them in OR too), shitty drivers, rising crime, and bazillion dollar electric bills from running the AC. And on many fronts, a year of silence. It’s partially my fault. [...]
