Well today has been very productive. First, I started the morning getting on the bus and heading to the bank to get money to pay my bills, then I went to Moneytree to pay my first bill (lame). After that I went to Ross and Target to get gifts for Missy's son, EJ. Next Saturday they are having a birthday party for him, at the Flaming Geysers. So I got him some super cute outfits and a book. Then I went to Target to pay another bill and to get some sunscreen and other items.
After this, I went to the Northgate Mall and paid yet another bill and had some lunch at Taco Time. Then I went to the bus and headed downtown to go to the Pike Place Market. I wanted to go to the Pike Place Market because it was so nice out, I didnt want to waste a good day inside. At the Market, I got a gorgeous bouquet of flowers that was only $5 and I got some fresh fruit. Being so hot outside, I didnt stay long and got back on the bus and headed home. And here I am now..
But I noticed I hadnt updated since May, so I said shit, I better update this thing before I forget everything I have done.. So since May, I didnt get my old job back in Tukwila because of bullshit reasons. So I'm stuck in Captial Hill. My car broke down and I cant afford a new one. So I've been taking the bus, walking, or getting a Zipcar. In June, my step brother got married, so that was eventful. My sister visited from Libby the month of June and I got to hang out with her a lot. We went shopping and saw a movie. It was a lot of fun, her and I are getting closer the older she gets in age. I went to Wild Waves 2 weeks ago and got sun burnt. I went to Portland/Vancouver for the 4th of July. When Gary and I were down there we took the Max and went to the Saturday Market down there. It was super cool. Also we ate at this place called Voodoo Doughnuts. They make specialty doughnuts, that are kinda out of the ordinary. I had a doughnut with Nerds candy on it. Its was super good!! Gary has a maple bar with bacon.
Also I have been applying for new jobs outside Group Health. I got a call back for job working for the State. So I'm super excited. I have an interview on Monday morning.
That is all I can think of right now.. But I will leave you with pictures from my most recent adventures..
I was reading through old journals today. I feel like I can be super hard on people and then I remember why they are so important to me and why I love them.. But this passage is from an old journal entry from 2005, and it made me cry.. I sometimes forget why I love Gary soo much:
"Gary is the best. I cant even begin to say how much he rocks. We are becoming best friends, and having so much fun. He just seems to make everything better. I cant help but smile or laugh when he's around. He makes things so good. He just has this way of smoothing the wrinkles in life. He's so calm and forgiving. He's so greatful and compassionate. He's probably one of the most amazing and caring men in the universe. He totally changes my perspective on everything. I just love listening to him and watching him. He's so dedicated to everything he does."
So it makes me remember why this is the man I married. So I'm glad I went through some of my journals. I'm soo glad we met and I'm glad I documented our early days. So, Gary if you are reading this, I love you.
This morning I went into surgery to have my gallbladder removed. I was super scared but everything went fine. I had really bad nausea right after the surgery and was vomiting up bile. It took me hella long to get out of recovery. Gary said I was the longest one in there. But finally after like 3-4 hours I was released to the care of my hubby. So I've slept all day today and woke now to check my email and shit and now I have the next 10 days off..
So hopefully in a few days I can get out of the house and spend sometime doing things I like..and no work!!
We made it home last night from our week long vacation to California. Here's the recap:

I am leaving for California in 1 week!! How exciting! I havent been on a real vacation in like 8 years or something like that. Gary and I are leaving next Saturday and wont be back till March 8th. We are going to Anaheim and San Diego. We are celebrating his birthday and kind of our honeymoon. But we are going to Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, Universal Studios, San Diego Zoo, and Seaworld. I've only been to 2 of the places and Gary hasnt been to any of them, he hasnt even been to California, so this is going to be all new for him. I'm also going to be seeing my family while we are down there. I've been watching the weather and its sunny and in the 60's, sometimes 70's. So woohoo!!
Nothing else too exciting, Gary and I both got sick with some weird sinus, nasally thing, sucks. Work is same ole, same ole. I'm glad to have a week off. Well nothing much really..
Blah Blah blah, Christmas.. Christmas is absolutely too much work and hype. I know everyone gushes on about Christmas and the spirit, and yadda yadda. But I prefer a day of rest and relaxation. I think next year I'm going to skip the whole damn thing. Its too much work. I think I'm going to send Gary out to meet and greet the family and stay home and sleep and eat food. That's my plan for next year.
So I got off work like 2 hours ago and I've been sitting at home doing nothing.. It kinda sucks when you have like no friends... But whatever, work sucked, it was my last day in Tukwila, starting Monday I am back at Capital Hill again. There was too much drama in Tukwila and I need to get back on my feet, literally. Sitting all day takes a big toll on my body.. The last few weeks have been kind of lame. I've been really depressed and nothing seems to help. But thats the breaks
Monday is going to be 10 years since my mom has been dead. Who knew I would make it this far.. I sure the hell didnt think I would make it this far. I feel like little has been accomplished. I feel more bitter and angry than I ever had. I feel like I have a heart of stone, but I dont care. This is probably why I have lack of friends but hey i'm awkward and I'm not really down with too many social situations.
I need a hobby like I dont know drugs or something, lol. No shit I come home every night, watch Scrubs reruns, eat pizza rolls, and fuck around on the internet. What a fucking exciting life. Nothing amusing or amazing happens anymore.. I'm in a fucking loop. I'm broke and depressed. I feel like I should have accomplished more. But we all know I've lost my potential and luster. Sucks getting old.
My car is on the near brink of death. The passenger seat belt broke, I'm still driving it with pliers, and the back window is missing. But I find it utterly stupid to put any money in that worthless car. I wish someone would steal and torch it. Then I can get some stupid money and buy a different one.
This mean and irritated rant was brought to you by the letter "O" and the number "4"
I haven't posted in a long ass time.. Well whats new?? I'm someone's wife, I'm turning 24 in 3 days. The wierdest thing about being married is the whole last name thing and referring to your significant other as husband, but the whole last name thing is extra weird. You have the same last name your whole life and then it changes and its hard to adapt too.
But nothing else too new with life. My job is starting to suck... I applied for some different ones, so we will see what happens. If I get one of the jobs we wont have to move asap. We can wait a little bit. Other news is we are trying to have a baby. I know its kinda soon after the wedding but I'd like to have one soon, so if we want a 2nd child we'll have time. Its taking awhile though, due to being sick and what not.. But it will happen when it suppose to.
That's all I can think of at this point.. Just trying to recover from this cold thing.. But that is all..
Tell me who should I be to make you love me? Tell me what does it mean to be alone? Can't you see me standing staring out from the distance, Hear my cry if you'd only listen... Out of focus, into me and you
Kiss me fool, if you care If your words have any meaning. Playing it cool is so unfair Why this veil of secrecy? God forbid, your friends found out what we did Why can't someone like you be someone like me?
Tell me who should I be to make you love me? Tell me what does it mean to be alone? Can't you see me standing staring out from the distance, Hear my cry if you'd only listen... Out of focus, into me and you
Touch me fool, if your allowed. I'll be dancing in the corner It's so cruel to play it proud, take your hands and cover me. I'm aware that all in love is fair, but that's no reason to make me feel this way.
Tell me who should I be to make you love me? Tell me what does it mean to be alone? Can't you see me standing staring out from the distance, Hear my cry if you'd only listen... Out of focus, into me and you
And it hurts me so bad to deny it, oooh These feelings are out of control. Do you know what it's like to want something so bad... And then having to let it go? And it hurts me to know that this time in our lives... So soon will be in the past And you spend it pretending your playing it cool. Never knowing, Never knowing, Never knowing what, Never knowing what we should've been.
Tell me who should I be to make you love me? Tell me what does it mean to be alone? You've got me wondering if I'm good enough. Pretty enough, giving enough, special enough
Tell me who should I be to make you love me? Who should I be? Who should I be? Ooooh... To make you love me? Who should I be? Who should I be? Ooooh... To make you love me? Who should I be? Who should I be? Ooooh... To make you love me.........?
Name 5 of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick 5 people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used. Tag 5 people on your list.
(And in my case... In no particular order.)
1. Curling up with my kitty.
2. A gentle breeze in the winter
3. Getting into a really good book
4. A warm bubble bath
5. Hugging the one you love.
I tag: luxinvidious, missevilkat, u16_girl, plasticrapping, and somech1ck
