Happy new year!

Several people kindly reminded me these past few weeks that I have not been doing very well updated this here blog.

The last time I wrote...Halloweeen, I believe?

Well, I have a new job that I start on Tuesday!!! Still doing FA, but for a bit more money. Which is always nice. I also have a loverly new computer. I've uploaded Sims2 on it. The Canobi's just had some puppies. It's really cute.

Right now I'm watching a television show called "Wicked Wicked Games." I personally would have named it something along the lines of "Really Really Bad Show" It's a cheap stupid version of the O.C. The OC was cancelled! That's wickedly wickedly too bad. I blame myself, I should have watched it these past few seasons. Tatum O'Neil stars in "Wicked Wicked Games!" Poor girl. Didnt she do a popular movie once? Like in 1981? I dont remember. I was born that year. Although, I did watch I Love the 80's not too long ago. She DID do a movie. She was 14 and wanted to loose her virginity at summer camp. Matt Damon was in it. Yeeeeeea.

Now you can see why I dont update more often. Because that paragraph above? Yea, that's all that's going through my head lately. Sims2 is killing me. But I love it.

Oh, oh, the show is back on! I think the blondie should really consider getting that mole the size of her face removed. I cant look at anything else. It's huge. Ugh. I guess it takes away from the fact that she cant act. Wait, I can still tell she cant act too. I think there is a male nurse on this show. Hunh. I found a male nurse action figure at Powell's Book Store the other day. It made me chuckle. And crave a latte.

I'm going to take a shower.

More pictures!

Pictures from the Portland Spirit costume party.













I was a cowgirl! No I wasnt drunk in this picture!



















Jenifer was a sex kitten. Me. Ooooow. Heh.















Miss Jaime was a milkmaid. Milkmaid, indeed! I think Jenifer and I stood in the bar line for her. Which reminds me, I owe Jenifer money.... Jaime sure is cute, though!




















Matt! He's a surgeon. I still would rather have surgery done by him than any of the Grey's Anatomy folks. In case you're wondering. And I know you are.















I am drunk in this picture. Which is why my aim is so off. No, mom, I didnt drive that night.















We're pretty.















Even more pretty!















Ha! I love this picture.

And that's it! Happy Halloween!

Pictures 2

Here's pictures from Jenifer's bachelorette party! (a few months















Captain Jenifer!















I forgot the name of the restaurant we went to already. Good food! Interesting service...

















Then we got some drinks at Sausebox and did a little bit of story telling. If I remember correctly, I believe it was about a lesbian psychopath who tried to kill her boss. I could be wrong.
We finished the night out back at my place. We played games. Max is the cat. She sleeps with me sometimes. She also drools if she purrs too much. I think it's funny.

Friendly Reminder

People, never ever, under any sort of circumstances use public restrooms as an area for a private conversation for these reasons:

a) Hello, it's not private. Stalls are not soundproof. There may be someone in the stall waiting for you to leave. What do you think they're doing in there? They're listening to you. Thus the term "Public" restrooms.

b) There may be someone in a stall waiting for you to leave. In a great deal of pain caused by IBS.

c) Bathrooms are full of germs. People fart freely in public restrooms. You're inhaling fart fumes. Lots of them. And so is the person that is probably in a stall waiting for you to leave.
Thank you.

PS: If the girl who was talking to her friend in the restroom earlier today while I was waiting for them to leave happens to read this blog, this is what I have to say to you:

Just because you got a D on your first test is NOT an excuse to never study for a test again. You're only punishing yourself. Seeeriously. People!

Book Club

So it appears I will be hosting the next book club. Which is exciting because that means I get to choose the book we read. Here is the list of books that I have come across that I think sound interesting...

The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143037145/ref=pd_rvi_gw_1/002-4128499-8591232?ie=UTF8

This book was recommended to me by my loverly sister, Brenna. It's about a lady who gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The girl has downs, and her father (who happened to be the doctor who assisted his wife in child birth) gives the daughter away and tells the mother she died.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy
http://www.amazon.com/Road-Cormac-Mccarthy/dp/0307265439/sr=1-1/qid=1159482148/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-4128499-8591232?ie=UTF8&s=books

This books sounds dark and depressing. But it is almost October, Halloween's month, so I think it also sounds appropriate. And really interesting. It's about an un named man and his son who survive in a post-apocalyptic world where people turn to cannibals. Ooer.

The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
http://www.amazon.com/Other-Boleyn-Girl-Philippa-Gregory/dp/0743227441/sr=1-1/qid=1159482284/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-4128499-8591232?ie=UTF8&s=books

About the two Boleyn sister's who compete for Henry VIII's affection. This novel is also being made into a film starring Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0467200/

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
http://www.amazon.com/Glass-Castle-Memoir-Jeannette-Walls/dp/074324754X/sr=1-1/qid=1159482480/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-4128499-8591232?ie=UTF8&s=books

About a girl and her siblings who are raised by two essentric parents. And I guess are homeless for a while.

Please let me know what your opinion is in my comments. I'm torn between all these books.

Orientation Day

Oofta. Just.... oofta.

I wish I had something more interesting to say. But I dont. So I trudge on. And on and on. 'Til retirement.

God, that's depressing. How can I feel so old and be so young?

Late late late

I hate people.

I have a student and her mother coming in for an appointment that is supposed to be at 5:30. They called and left a message that they were in Canby and on their way, but they were going to be late. I've been sitting here for quite sometime. When they called in, they didnt want to talk to me, they just wanted to leave message. So I never got to speak with them.

When they get here, I have to send them home. BECAUSE I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THEM!!!! If they came on time, everything would be dandy. If they actually talked to me, I could tell them to not bother coming in and reschedule.

You know, for a country that is so clock obsessed, I sure deal with a lot of people who cant be on time for the life of them.

Monday, August 14, 2006

I found a "How to Feel Good" or "How to Be Happy" books at my house yesterday. I was reading through it, basically it says if you think negative thoughts, you'll be depressed/angry/confused/whatever. If you realize you have these bad thoughts, you can change the thought and be happy/non angry/assured/and stuff.

I tried that theory out today while I was at lunch.

The situation:

My car is running low on gas, I see that Costco's gas station has no line (which is almost unheard of!!), I drive up to the gas pump, and roll down my window, waiting for a gas attendant. The gas attendant look at my car, then walks up to a car next to me (which was there first). This was no car, however, it was a full sized Winibego type of motor home trailer campy thing. The gas attendant comments on the size to the owner. Here is where my negative thoughts begin:

"Ooooh, I really hope they dont start a conversation. I'm already late getting back to work. I really need to get back soon. Oh. My. God. Is the gas attendant man taking a tour of the bus? Is he? He's actually going inside? Oh God. This is....I cant... I'm so hot...It's so hot in my car...You know if I were in Washington, I could pump my own gas and be gone by now...What! What is he doing?!?...He's taking a CARD from THE WHAT?!?! I have such a little car! I could be filled up by now! WAIT, positive thoughts! There must be something positve...about anything. Wait a minute, didnt that author of How to Be Happy steal Pollyanna's idea???"

I was not able to come up with any positve thoughts. Especially after I paid $30 for gas. Sometimes, things just plain old suck.
