Tahoe World

Wednesday, June 17, 2009

At 10:15pm last night I get a frantic message from my sister. The kind of message that would indicate that someone has passed away. However, I was very asleep and didn't get it until this morning. Luckily nobody passed away....

Apparently, my cousin J eloped with some girl he met in NY. Congrats on that!!! My Aunt is quite beside herself because she knows NOTHING about this woman's family. She found out that the brides brother lived in Lake Tahoe and appealed to my sister to 'find some dirt'.

Well, my sister has actually dated the brother in question and it wasn't pretty. It was down right UGLY. After laughing a good bit and consulting on this dilemma, I thought to myself "What are the odds?"

It is Tahoe though. Everybody knows everybody and then usually ends up sleeping with them. I have to add this to My List of Things I Love/Find Amusing About California: #5 Tahoe. Also, on this list is #81: The lady at Lucky's that called my cracker ass mija.

I am a little confused though. I've been here three days and I already have a suntan. I have spent a total of 20 minutes outside. How is this possible?

Note to Self: I have to figure out how to post links to my page.

What to do....?

We made it to Sunnyvale!!!! There is no sun here, I guess it's been hiding. The living room is disaster and I'm convinced that the entire kitchen needs to be re-organized. And then there is the bathtub...

My honey has lived in this apartment for almost two years. He has never scrubbed the tub. It's just plain gross. He scores quite high on the cleanliness scale. I will have to thank his mother for that. I will over look this one (hopefully not many more) "boy grossness".

I'm pleased that i have had some interest in my doula services here. It looks like my job transfer will work out (hopefully part time) and I can be doula-ing a couple births a month. I was shocked that doulas in this area charge so much. I know this will work in my favor, because right now I'm just looking for experience.

Back from ______ ?

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

I am reminded of a character on Northern Exposure. Chris (sexy DJ played by John Corbett) insisted that he "lost" two years of his life. Oddly, I feel very similar. I know I did stuff the last nine months, but I'm not sure I have much to show for it. And now I'm closing the chapter on my life here in the Northwest.

As of 11:00am Friday June 12, 2009, I will be leaving Bellingham and finding my way to the San Francisco area. I'm shocked that life has moved so quickly, with nothing more than a whisper and a smile.

I'm excited to renew my life in California. All doors are open. I'm even lucky enough to almost (90% sure) have a job.

The best part is every night I get to sleep next to my honey. I'd never thought I'd be ready. But I am. Very ready.

This is what I love about life. Everyday a new adventure and endless possibilities. I truly hope this trandlates to an overflow of creative juices and many many postings.

PS- I love that the people next to me at the coffee house are on a date. Probably, the first. More to smile about.

Sneaky

Yes, I am at work.
Yes, I should be working.
Yes, I used the fax machine for personal use.
Yes, I checked Digg while waiting for comfirmation.
Yes, it was worth it.
Why?

I despise the FDA and support any means that promote policy based on science not fear.

Harder than Finding a Job

Tuesday, March 24, 2009

Just called on an apartment at Spring Creek Apartments in Bellingham,WA. They are charging $500/per pet non-refundable deposit. This is in addition to the $450 security deposit. Monthly rent is $655. You've got to be kidding me, who can afford this?

The website that searched from wouldn't let me bitch, so I'm doing that here.

It's Coming....

Thursday, February 26, 2009

Found the new template for my little blog. I'm going to put off cleaning and update it. Yay!! I hope this renews my interest in blogging. I also felt the need for this forum to go in a different direction. I'm not sure what yet. Maybe. it will be a surprise.

Pick Up Stick

Tuesday, February 03, 2009

The long grey days of the Pacific Northwest march on, all of my senses are anticipating "that change" signaling that summer is on its way. In the meantime, I have rediscovered a longtime passion of crafting. Mostly knitting and crocheting. The weather combined with a ridiculous amount of yarn inherited from my grandmother has me searching for suitable projects. Jackpot was discovered with the "scrap" patterns and the shabby chic look of the finished projects fit well with the very casual dress code of WA. Socks and Birki's are alive and well here people. Currently, have started an scrap afgan and shawl. The shawl has been a challange so far. Its a pretty simple crochet pattern, but my tension is all off and I'm taking a break from a irksome craft hour. Oddly enough, I'm not stressing about my lack of progress. And come to think of it the cluster-stress-on-the-verge-of-being-a-migrane-headache that I've had for the past week is almost gone and thurned into a dull throb behind my right eye. I'm also thinking about changing the format of my blog. I might do that while on vacation in Austin. Hmmmm.....

Better Late than Never -- I suppose?

German authorities are preparing to clear hundreds bombs left from World War II that are strewn under Berlin's busiest airport.
I promise a "real" post later. Oh, had another interview today. At a job I actually want. Yay!!!

Finally!!

Finally. Thinking persons family planning.

It's amazing what our President has accomplished in only a week.

Can't wait to see what else Super Obama can do.

Ok, a little cheesed, my spell check just no-noed Obama's name. That needs to change.

Baby Calls 911 and Gets Dad Arrested

The best part of this story is, of course the comments. I am also wondering what size house this was. If memory serves me correct 500 plants are a hellauv lot. I sure there was something (the smell) that tipped the Mounties (awesome) off.

Still looking for a job. Everyday is up and down. Just trying to keep my sanity and pay what bills I can.

Baby, Baby....

Welcome to the world little baby girl!!!!

My best friend and her husband had their baby at 1:19am this morning.

9lbs. 9oz. 21in.

Pictures, lots of pictures, to come.

Missing Space

Friday, August 08, 2008

Still on vacation. The amount of business and organizing that I'm getting done is great. Baby hasn't shown up yet, so I extended my stay here. I've had fun and I'm looking forward to moving to Bellingham, WA next month. I miss the rocket scientist terribly, the memories have become a dull ache in my heart.

Listening to "Gravity" my John Mayer, thought I wanted to post the lyrics, but instead I'll share the song that ALWAYS makes me think of him. I think I'm in need of a little artistic outlet?

Easy Silence-Dixie Chicks

Accidents and accusations
Messages and misperceptions
Paralyze my mind
Busses, cars, and airplanes leaving
Burnin' fumes of gasoline and

Easy silence that you make for me
It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me
And the peaceful quiet you create for me
And the way you keep the world at bay for me
The way you keep the world at bay

Monkeys on the barricades
Are warning us to back away
They form commissions trying to find
The next one they can crucify
And anger plays on every station
Answers only make more questions
I need something to believe in
Breathe in sanctuary in the

Easy silence that you make for me
It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me

Children lose their youth too soon
Watching war made us immune
And I've got all the world to lose
But I just want to hold on to the

The Present

Wednesday, July 30, 2008

**Warning Rant Ahead**

I loathe feminine hygiene product commericals. I truly detest them. And since I figured out what the commericals were about (Yeah, I got a filmstrip at 9 and an attempt of the birds and the bees by my mother at 29) my feelings haven't changed.

Until yesterday.

The general pain in the ass- do i really have to sit through this- you've got to be kidding me- thoes damn wings don't do shit- feelings have turned to down right R-A-G-E.

How?

It wasn't demeaning enough that my period is the equivalent of windshield wiper fluid. Blue colored water--Who the F*CK thought of that? It's red people, like blood. In fact it IS blood. TAMPAX has a new marketing compagin that has turned my menses (with all of it's love hate moments) into a F*CKING PRESENT.

A "gift" from Mother Nature. Hahahaha. My beautiful reproductive cycle has been reduced to a box with goddam bow on it.

I let enough pop culture slop pass without comment, so I have a right to pissed about this. And so does every other woman.

Oh and if you are wondering, I'm NOT PMS-ing or on my "gift".

Stupid cultural desexualization.

Traveling through space and time

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

Ahhhhhhh......

I am currently in Hood River, OR and blissfully enjoying the first leg of my vacation. I'm staying at Hotel Emma and Nikoli and I never want to leave.

We ate out of the garden for dinner last night and they have NOT one but TWO hammocks. Sigh.

I can feel the stress melting out of my body.

Army of Angels

Wednesday, June 11, 2008

I usually don't talk about work on this blog. There are several reasons for this. Mostly, I LOVE MY JOB. It's a career actually. I enjoy it everyday and it has given me so many gifts. Secondly, I do a lot of energy work in my sessions. I've come to honor that this freaks people out. So, when I have client that specifically requests energy work. I'm about happy as a puppy with two peeters*

Being open to the spirit realm is hard work, but it's fun, you never know what will come up. Every treatment is a exciting trip into the unknown. It definitely feeds my war against boredom.

Had a client that blew me away last night. I have to admit the day didn't start out so great. My head was all muddled and I was cranky at my breakfast (stupid pancakes), but once the appointment time rolled around I was in a much better place (the nap helped).

I ALWAYS ask permission to work in someone energy field. Then I invite my spirit guides to join me. Then I my clients' spirit guides to join us also. The good ones only are allowed in my presence. When I asked for my clients spirit guides join us, an actual army of angels showed up. THE ARMY OF ANGELS. As in the army of divine creator of the universe. Um, yeah. I was shocked, my spirit guides were FREAKING OUT!!! It was sooo coool.

So, there was archangel Michael and the army hanging out. I asked them what they were here for and Michael says to me 'You have one of us on your table.' Again shocked and now a little excited. The meat of the story is something like this. The soul that was on my table used to be a fighter in the army and lost it's wings in the battle with evil. The divine creator then gave the soul a human form, the one that happened to be my client.

I can't even begin to tell you how awesome it was.

And I'm sure there are some of you out there that think I should have my head examined, but I could care less. I was in the presence of an archangel and an angel soul. I was so humbled and empowered by the experience of healing this person, I may have found faith.

PS- I wanted to post a picture of what I saw, but all of the correct pictures of Archangel Michael have him with his sword raised and he didn't while I was communicating with him. He looked like a roman warrior with his sword in right hand pointed down towards his feet. He was very tall too, maybe 6'6''

* Also, if you can tell me where this movie quote is from. I might send you a prize.

Wondering?

Hanging out with the Texas boyfriend and sharing pictures. Came across some very scandalous, very sexy photos that his mother would definetly would not want to see.

Conversation went like this:

Me-"I don't remember taking these, was I drunk?"
Him-"Um, no."
Me-"Huh."

I'm not sure which is worse. That I completely forgot about the pics or that there was not any alcohol involved in their staging. Man my mom would be so proud, good thing I've never wanted to run for a public office. Right now I think that Girl Scout Cookie mom is even out of the "picture"

Finally

Internet dream realized. Thank Goddess.

Indian Coke

Monday, June 02, 2008

Defintely the slow season, so I've been trying to fill my time with good deeds. Mostly, I've been helping my techie friend inventory his room full o' hardware. Up until a month ago we dated, then he decided that (with out breaking up with me) to date someone else. At that point I realized that he may have some bigger issues. Honestly, I do enjoy hanging out with him and all the other stuff is easier to deal with than when were dating. But I have a feeling something is up. Last night I got a booty text from him, wanting me to come over at 11pm and spend the night. Hmmmm.... I didn't even bring the text up and this morning he said that it would have been easier for him if I had spent the night and then done inventory this morning. Riiiiigggghhhttttt......

I suspect that he had a couple to drink, texted, then realized it to late and had to save face.

On a completely un-realted note, I found out that I can get a library card in Reno even though I live in Cali. Uber excited. I'm such a geek.

The Title Post--G makes this Indian tea with cloves and cardamon. It's super yummy, but has the equlivaent caffiene of about six shots of expresso. I keep forgetting and end up high as a kite, ready to run a marathon.

Yeah, and he just walked out into his living room (where I'm typing) in his boxer briefs. Something is definetly up.

Just in Time.....

Saturday, May 24, 2008

I finally figured out how to get internet at my house. My brain was going to explode if I had to go another day with out it. I called in a favor and offered an hour massage as a trade for the router and the set up. Best deal I've made in a long time. Happy days are here again!!!

Never thought....

...I would go to an "Adult Store" with my mother and my aunt. It was an experience for the records. Turns out that my cousin works at Susies Suprise in the Dallas area. I was in town unexpectedly and wanted to say "Hi". My aunt asked if I was sure I wanted to go, with a concerned look. Funny, I could have hung out and "explored" for at least an hour. However, with Mom and Auntie (both uber-conservatives) in tow our trip was limited to looking at the bachelor/bachelorette section. Their embarrasment was unavoidable and secretly thrilling. Like the time my grandparents and siblings accidently observed a cow being enseminated at a local dairy far. Part of me is surpised that I can even say the word sex with the level of secrecy my family puts up around it. Heheehehee....

WFT happened to my picture?
