Back in the Jungle again!

I realized the other day that I used to write in a journal everyday, just basic information about the day.  I have this fear that if I write what I really think then when I die the people that Love me might be a bit offended as my thoughts are not always nice.  I of course am one of those people that do not say what I think, I am a bottler...I bottle my feelings until I explode one day and that is not a good moment.  So I am back to ramble on!

Sonnet 29

Sonnet 29
When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself, and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd, Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least: Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Haply I think on thee,--and then my state (Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings'.

Welcome back to No Where

Ah a forgotten place.....a secret message lost and found again.........a scent of someone you love suddenly in the air alone.....

My Crazi Sis

Hmm what do you say!

Just kiddin' I love my lil sis, we are just two very different people and that is not our fault.....I guess I blame mom and dad for having us 6 years apart....that is like two different time zones....never on the same wave......what were you thinking?

Woodland United Soccer

Jessie in action! She has had an excellent season this year! Also a very tough one playing up a level against girls that are older and bigger, so she has had her work cut out for her! Way to Go Jess!!

Our Beautiful Yard

It is that time of year when all the flowers are starting to bloom and I have no idea what is going to be blooming in our new yard! I guess it will be a great surprise and I just hope that I don't kill anything that is meant to be there.....

Woodland High School Prom Nite

Shane and his date Heather getting ready to leave! How cute are they?? They had dinner at the Black Angus and then off to the Portland Art Museum where the prom was being held. They had a great time with all their friends!

New Kitties!

Introducing Theo and Otis our new Flame Point Himalayans, they are the fluffiest whitest kittens I have ever seen! We got them from a lady in Camas, so we got to see the parents. The dad was chocolate brown and the mom was white! They are the sweetest little guys ever, we are so excited to have them in our family.

Ice Skating

Cute Picture of Jess and Kenna Ice skating at Kenna's birthday party! The girls love to skate! I don't seem to be able to get the hang of it, I love to roller skate but thats on four wheels!! Plus the ice skating is cold!

Tolo 2007

My handsom son going to his first prom with a Senior girl! This is Tolo where the girl asks the guy to the prom. It was the first time that I had to rent a tux for him and that was interesting. They rented a Hummer Limo and went to dinner at "Joe's Crab Shack"! He said that he had a lot of fun dancing and everything! Not very many Freshman were invited to attend Tolo!

Game Time

Rhonda and I having a drinking scrabble nite! Course I kicked her ass by 40 points! Didn't realize how good I was at this game.....maybe the hard lemonade had something to do with it, makes your mind think in ways it never could before!

Oysters!

Once the tide went out late at night we were able to go out the back door and down the stairs to a beach full of oysters!!! There were so many of them, I had no idea. I had never collected oysters before so it was pretty fun. We had our little bags, flashlites and rubber boats ready to harvest! We brought a bunch home for everyone, I don't like them but I have to say that I did eat a raw one and it was nasty! Why eat something that you don't chew and tastes like crap and sea salt?? Yes I understand that it has a wonderful side effect, but is it worth it??? The shells are beautiful!

Views of my vacation!!

Hoods Canal in the early morning! The fog rolled in and made it feel so eerie and quiet.....I loved it. The canal is lined with the neatest houses, they are tall and covered with windows top to bottom overlooking the canal. There are birds and ducks fishing that I have never seen before. I even got to see a seal floating along, just relaxing, diving and dipping. I felt the same way it was so peaceful. Course I forgot my good camara!

New Throw for my Bed!

Believe it or not my Mother sent me this and I have been enjoying him at work everyday as my new screen saver!

Can anyone say Vacation!

Well it is now 2:30 and I have made it to the point of complete boredom here at work! Not quite sure how much more of this quiet I can take. I know I am supposed to appreciate the quiet while I have it, but come on.....going on 5 hours of it and I am going to go crazy! You can only look up so much on the internet,looking out my office window feels like sadness, no wonder they say that so many people experience depression in the winter around here because of all the rain and fog. It is dark, wet and cold. Kind of hard to get happy about anything. And I should be, I get to go away for the weekend with a friend. We decided we needed a vacation a get away from it all. She has a house in Hood Canal on the water and thought it would be relaxing to go for the weekend and just read drink and relax! I have never been so I looked it up online (during my hours of bore) and it looks really beautiful there. I think that it is more of a summer town, with all of its whale watching, clam digging and hiking.....but who cares! I am going to take pictures so when I get back I will post them here for all or none of you that read this.
I am ready to leave, I am packed, I have DVR'd my favorite shows, made sure my husband is up to date on all the action, the mom duties for the weekend (which I did get the attitude, the you mean I am going to have to do your mom stuff too?? Why is it that I have one of the most amazing husbands there ever could be and yet when you go to leave them they feel like they are being abandoned, like they can 't possibly do it without you, like they NEVER get to have any fun like you do???) I promise not to feel guilty that I am leaving!
I have teenagers for petes sake, they can take care of themselves on most occasions.

I know that I am rambling along here but remember that I am at work and no one to talk to except myself and my computer. I have read the most amazing blogs today that make me feel like I am completely inadequate writer, or expression of my soul. There are some extremely talented people on here. I feel like the trailer trash of blogging!

Winter Wonderland

Well it is January 19th 2007 and we actually have snow! Well it is melting away today, but we had snow!!! We got 7 inches and the kids have been out of school for 4 days now! The yard is beautiful and so peaceful, I forgot how much I missed having it snow! Course it sucks not being able to drive anywhere because the town is so lame about plowing or laying sand. The kids were so excited about the snow, they have been outside playing in it everyday.....making forts, snowballs and sledding down our street. Very funny! I got to miss a couple days of work and that was really great! I finished painting my bedroom and colored my hair finally!!! Funny how much you get accomplished when you can't leave your house.

Searching for a friend!

I am looking for an old friend from High School. She graduated 1988 from South Albany High School her name was then Michelle Phillips and I miss her. I of course lost contact with her and don't have anything else but her senior picture and a name. If anyone reads this and knows her will you please let me know! Thanks!!
