Labor Day Weekend

The end of the longest weekend ever has arrived, and with vigilance.

What a long yet glorifying weekend.

I always enjoy spending time in seaside on the beach with the opportunity to visit the ocean at the top of a hat. I love walking on the beach without a care in the world with the best boyfriend ever.

And a trip to Portland to see Hanson doesn't hurt either! With the almighty Heather Hodges! MMMBOP.

All I have to say is Thank goodness with Lonnie and Arnie for letting me stay! I was tuckered out.

Seaside & Baby!

One person cannot have all this fun in one weekend without being alarmed! Leaving early from work on Thursday to putter around Astoria with the aunt and uncle was wonderful. I had amazing apple crisp which truly left me wanting more-like I need it... There were two moments while shopping I found note worthy including; a) me staring at this greased man in the book store, judging him because he didn't look like a reader. Soon after feeling like a bad person for judging him. Then noticing he was looking in the section with books on fornication. Good Judgment after all. b) Walking into a shoe store being asked where I was from-replying and then having the lady say "I know where that is, my mother was murdered there."

I Wish

I wish...

• life was less expensive.
• I could save a bunch of money by switching to marriage (on account it may improve my ability to receive financial assistance)
• my boyfriend didn't feel the need to move 3 hours away to 'find himself'
  
• I could get everything I wanted
• Money grew on trees
• Tide to go pens were everywhere (I seem to use mine quite frequently when one hand)
• college wasn't so expensive
• colin was rich to buy me everything I even thought I might want
• baby Taya was in my hot little hand
• Amanda would lose the attitude and be appreciative and get A JOB.
• I was done with college
• I could go explore Australia or Europe!
• I had perfect vision
• Nick Carter was in my bedroom, right now.
• the world was sustainable
• gas was free

Dear Colin,

Next time I try and convince you to keep a puppy and name in Piper (which is the best name ever) please don't trail off and eventually inform me that me being allergic to animals and having asthma is my own fault. You are right colin, it is my fault that I have to worry everyday if I have an inhaler, and that after even holding a pet I might have to use a nebulizer, or the fact that I have to wash my hands promptly after to insure that the hives don't spread further than they already have. Yes, this is all my fault. And sorry for the inconvenience it put on you to make the effort to drive the ten minutes to my house after you get off work. I know that had to be 'ruff' for you (yes the pun what intended), and yes I know it is all my fault thanks for trying to get that point across.. Sincerely, Your REALLY REALLY pissed off girlfriend.

DLTA Rotary Conference

Just got home from Victoria BC and have decided that:

• I am happy to be part of Rotary! What a great group of people doing such a great thing!


• I want to attend UVIC (University of Victoria)


• I want to be Canadian


• I still do not like alcohol


• I plan on start using words like about (aboat) out (oUt) not (nOt) and eh!


• I want to travel with the rotary friendship program


• I still love tea


• I love the empress


• I dislike ferry rides


• Italian restaurants are so much better in Canada


• Merchies is the breakfast place to be


• Canadians are Hot stuff (especially the young rotary members)

Overall I believe all of our fellow rotary members had a grand time! =)))

Pacific Science Center

One thing I can mark of my list of things to do before the hear is done!

Heather and I semi-successfully went to the pacific science center and the Harry Potter exhibit.

I left the house at about twelve! Can you say excited! However, ol' blue decided to give me a hard time two miles away from my exit and all the way up until I got parked behind Ihop. Stupid truck!

On the way from Olympia to Seattle we did manage to get lost and end up in the UW district, but luckily we found our way back to I-5 and on our way to Harry.

Even though we were late for our tickets they still let us in thank goodness, which was good
news because we were is such a hurry we did manage to hit a parked car...woops!

When we got the the entrance (very hard to find by the way) a kind lady gave us a free listening thign so we could play special facts about the things we were seeing (like Daniel Ratcliff was allergic to the stuff his glasses were made out of so they had to solve that problem).

Then we exercised our minds at the science center, looking at reptiles, naked mole rats, playing in tide pools, taking shadow photos, sitting in an enlarged chair, we did so much while completely avoiding the butterflies (upon heathers request which I gladly agreed).

We cut our visit a tad bit short because sometimes (and by that I mean all the time) food just comes first!

We went to the Bahama Breeze and had a to die for meal! With the best Pina Colada I have ever had! It was amazing!Overall I say great trip! Well worth it! Can't wait til my next visit, and of course until the final movie comes out of dear ol' Harry Potter.

Resolution Update

As I shared with you before I have many goals to get done during this new year, and we are now half way through January, how am I doing you may be wondering?
