Long Overdue

Hello world!

I have decided to make it my goal that I post at least once a week and try to get some life back into my blog. Unfortunately at this point I don’t have my  computer set up so I’m posting on mobile. Therefore you will have to forgive me for any over looked spelling or punctuation errors.

So, what’s new with me? Not terribly much. I’m still working full time as a FYI manager but I have also picked up two shifts a week bartending. That helps give me some fun money.

My birthday is in less than two weeks. It’s hard to believe that I will be 31. Being old is overrated. 

Beyond that Mr and I are getting ready for winter. Enjoying the warm days while we have them and opening the house as much as possible but also preparing our indoor spaces. I haven’t been upstairs painting since last spring. I’m hunting for a cheap but functional desk for my art room as well. We will see how that turns out..

M and I went to a dinner party last night and had a great time with two other couples. A veritable feast of smoked ribs, coleslaw, rolls, cauliflower, baby red potatoes and delicious cider. 

2Towns cider actually. I had the outsider and it was fantastic. It doesn’t hurt that it’s from Corvallis either. 

Mike gave me a birthday present early. A new tablet! Hooray! My life hasn’t been the same since my last tablet bricked last spring. It’s crazy to believe it’s been that long. 

Beyond that I haven’t much to share! I guess we will see what turns up next week.

California

I’m home from California! My goodness, what a vacation. I got to see all the people I love. Go to amazing parties. AND to top it all off, I drove home a new car. Well, new to me. Newer than Ava (1987 300SDL MB.)

 

I have no pictures, because I don’t have a camera, and my ipod doesn’t like to charge ever since it’s swim in the ocean. Sorry! 😦

The new car which I’m currently referring to as “Pearl” is a 1994 325i BMW. My Father got a killer deal on it. And yeah, turns out I’m spoiled sometimes.

I will take some pictures just as soon as I recover my iPod from under the couch (there’s spiders down there so I’ve been putting it off) and get them up here.

I hope everyone’s having a great summer so far!

Bad Manners

I would just like to apologize for my random hiatus. I realize it’s bad manners and bad form for me because my blog is still “new” and I really don’t have archives for people to read.

But I needed it. Oh oh oh did I ever need it.

An incredible friend of mine, J, sent me a sick Motorola Xoom that I’ve been in love with since the moment I opened the box.

I also received my 120 film and adjusted it to fit my (new to me!) duaflex II kodak camera.

These have completely consumed my time. A friend of mine had a birthday party on Saturday which I attended. I spun my poi a little, played games, and drank more than I should have.

I also did that on Friday.

And on Thursday.

And probably a bunch before that too.

You see why I went on hiatus.

Shit got cray.

Yeah I said it.

So now that all of that is out of my system I’m feeling a bit more like myself. A bit more grounded. My head is in a better place.

I had a ridiculous week. I had become financially drained with car troubles and supporting another human. Another adult human. It definitely reminded me I’m in no position to have a baby ever. Not that I really needed reminding. Sorry, that’s pretty off topic.

I would talk about my love life, but I don’t have one anymore. So that’s out too.

Work is awesome. Woo! Ending on a good note.
