You Saved Me

It feels like a life time ago, but I can't stress enough how me moving to Western Washington to be with my bear saved me a world of disappointment and strife. Not to say that living at home would do this to me, but I don't see it any other way. As it was back then, the same goes for our future. I was a scared little kid leaving the comforts of home. I'm now embarking on a similar adventure to the south, this time I have my bear and I'm not alone. I'm pretty confident in my skills that I'll be alright down there. I'm tired of being ruled by fear of the "not knowing". That being said, my bear has saved me time and time again and it's my turn to save him from this depressing state.

11/26/11

It was so good to see my friend again after a 4 or 5 month stint. Even though I may have offended her, she still remains a good friend regardless. Watched an okay game where the Huskies shutdown the Cougs. It was a great night for beer shots and food with friends.

Imagination Gone Wild

All I have to say is that people come up with the craziest things in their spare time. As mentioned on the House of Diva, people have given new meaning to just hanging around. Last night at the football game, new Penn State jokes were invented. Who knew that so much talent swirls around like the water in a toilet bowl after flushing. There is always new ways to become entertained no matter what the situation. If you use your brain anything is possible.

WHY?

This is the one question we use to ask all the important questions. This weeks question is: "Why does the weekend and our days off go by so damn fast?" Ponder this one ladies and gentlemen. Who am I kidding, no one reads this thing, lmao.

Thanksgiving & Black Friday '11

One more week before t-day and I'm so excited. I love to eat thanksgiving foods. The only thing I really miss about eating dinner with my family is watching football and picking a fight with my brother. Oh, and the huge family poker games we used to play, way to teach the children how to gamble at the ripe ages of 7. Then I get to go watch the mad dash as people shop for their loved ones as cheaply as possible. Nothing says I love you kids than half price. We have turned into a spectator sport, but it's more controlled chaos now days then the trampling episodes of the past. Oh well, organized is still fun to watch. You can see in people's faces the excitement of finding the good deals slowly dissipate as the morning drags on. After the 11th store, they are absolutely exhausted and cranky. No more smiles on their faces as they push and pull their loaded carts around a very crowded store. When they are still bargain hunting, we are back home warm and sleeping until 1pm. Will I ever shop black Friday again, NOPE. I just like to watch lol.

Are You Ready?

Happy Friday!!

Growing Up Is Hard To Do

I never realized that being an adult would cause this many headaches and childish behavior. Silent treatments, arguing over "toys", talking gossip (can never escape that not matter what age), and my personal favorite throwing huge tantrums when you don't get your way and the pouting afterwards. I already knew about the hardships adult life has like paying bills, getting a good job, hoping and praying that you have enough education to bump you to the next level. Take all of this and mix in human emotion and you pretty much have me. I am one of the lucky ones though, I found love at an early age. I worked my butt off to excel in what ever I do, but failed at going any further due to "hurt feeling" and "jealousy". To be an adult is to learn from past mistakes and try real hard not to repeat them. Live life as a gift and not a chore.

11/14/11

Lets just say that Monday was your typical Monday full of the usual stuff. Finish payroll, clean up messes, and jot down all the messages from the phone that you knew you wouldn't get to that day. All adds up to a very busy day for yours truly. Just another day in paradise right?

Reliving Childhood

I've been watching The Wonder Years via netflix the past couple of days. It's like watching them through my 10 year old little eyes all over again. The same feelings are there and it feels as if it was just yesterday. I remember majority of the scenes and what was to come next. Oh how a young brain soaks up the most obscured things. I always believed that there was a little of all the characters in all of us. But what did I know, I was 10.

It's Friday

Another Friday is here and I'm so looking forward to not doing anything at all. It's going to be a stormy weekend and staying indoors is the perfect way to spend it.

You Can't Make Me

It's that time again to bitch, whine, and groan about going to work. Although, it hasn't been all that bad lately not that it ever was so horrible to begin with. I'm coming to my 4th year with the lodge and I'm happy with where I am right now. I definitely would take my job with me to Cali but that doesn't seem logical at this point. Oh how I wish we could just have money and blah blah blah. I am and will always be someone with a job no matter what it is. That's just fact and a realization that will never change. Not saying if I won the lottery or a big jackpot that I wouldn't take some time off and enjoy the serenity of not having to deal with a time clock, but eventually I would tire of it all and get a jobby job. Any how, it is that time once again to get my butt into gear and head out the door.

Gotta Love It

Getting better from being sick and enjoying the weekend. It started out with a casino run with my Diva and a few others from work however 8:30 was our limit lol. Yesterday, I took my bear and the winnings and hit the other casino and was there until 8 and didn't win anything. Oh well, that's the way the universe works, it gives and takes. Today, the bear suggested that we go window shopping for Christmas and I have to deliver my Christmas demands or I mean list to the parents. I love shopping for others, and a little for myself. Just wish the weekends were a little longer, but even then they would have to end sometime.

11/2/11

I can't believe it's Thursday already, but this is about yesterday which was pretty uneventful in my eyes, but being sick makes everything go by in a blur. I had a weeks worth of stuff to catch up on and believe it or not, thanks to the useless one, I'm not completely behind. Today is going to be a long day but I don't mind one bit. I'm feeling better and to be able to function like I have is just amazing to me, but I didn't have a choice really. Weekend is almost here and I can wallow in my own misery.

Disney Trip 2011 / Getting Sick Sucks

Here is a twofer, we got back from Cali on Saturday and lets just say we had an amazing time. The bear says that this is the last trip he takes during Halloween though, because he wants his mansion back to the original state. When we left Washington, it was 40 degrees and pissing down rain. In 2 hours, we landed in Cali where it was 80 degrees and sunny. This starts the second part of the blog, because I started to feel sick on Tuesday, the day of the Halloween party. The Halloween party was fantastic, who would have guessed that we would ever trick or treat around Disneyland? Not me, not in a million years, but it happened. We rode the rides a whole bunch of times, except for one of my favorites Pirates due to it being refurbished. I wasn't going to let that stop me from having fun, it just felt empty in a way. As mentioned before, I started to feel crappy on Tuesday with each day getting a little worse, but with all the walking we were doing, I powered through. Saturday coming back, the bear and I both were feeling the sickness creeping up on us now that the trip was over. I can't speak for the bear, but mine was kicking my ass and I was so damn cold. The bear took my temp and it was 102. WTF? Here it is Wednesday, over a week, and I'm now starting to feel a little better. I hope this thing doesn't last much longer, and thank god I'm looking into getting a real doctor today.
