I Don't want the World to See Me

Well, it's been an 'eventful' day...ugh.

--Didn't get the job (Coleen did, which I am glad that one of us got it). So now I get to try for her position, which will open up.
--Since I will be working 20 hours once we are in the new building, I qualify for medical/dental/vision insurance and for retirement. I already had a headache, so an attempt to make sense of it just made it worse.
--Got a DVR hooked up from DISH. Hmm. Supposed to work on both TVs, but the guy never set up the remote for the second TV, so I have no idea how to access it. (He came while I was gone), so need to make a phone call at some point.
--I got the last parking place at the little restaurant I go for lunch, overlooking a very nasty car crash. Got to watch them tow the car and everything /sarcasm.

I think that is it *yawn*

So, here are some pics I took last week outside the car window:

Yes, it's blurry, but I think it is pretty. I was surprised that none of my pics really blurred, so I did this as a test:


I love this road. It really does curve around and there is a fairly steep drop off and a lovely view...I tried getting a pic of just around the curve, but a phonepoll for in my way.

A couple days ago, I picked some blackberries from a bush that Dad had found a ways from our house. Didn't take me long to get a nice bucket full.

This was a bit before Jeff left. He 'arranged' the strawberries on top...for whatever reason ;)

Well, Jeff is on his way back to Japan now. He left at about a quarter to 5. I think it is going to take him like 16 hours to get home.

So, here is a brother picspam taken earlier today!

Mom and Jeff:

Last night, Ki decided to wrestle with a pair of jeans I had sitting out:


( kitty pic spam this-a-way )

Been looking forward to getting this book. It is a sequel to one I had read a few weeks ago and really enjoyed.
Got it from paperbackswap (shock, shock) and the person who sended it had made buisness cards!! Has her name, the pbs website and a small note. It is awesome!

Book pictured with card:


Other news...I got called in to work an extra 5 hours today/yesterday. Cut into my sleeping time lol, but yay money :D

Got a new case for my camera. I should have gotten the one that was a size bigger because it had an extra zipper pouch so I could fit an extra memory card and batteries....could still with this one, but it makes it too tight a fit. Oh, well. Just need to keep the batteries that are in the camera charged.

Here's a pic:

I helped Michelle clean her bedroom, laundry, and mail out...15? packages for paperbackswap.com *dances*

Then, on and off, we have been watching episodes of Dante's Cove and Slings and Arrows--which is pretty addicting. I went from hadly watching the first episode, to completely putting my laptop down for the last ones. We finished all of season 1 od S&A, and are almost down with season 2 of Dante's Cove.

I was just thinking about what to use for my daily pic, saw the TV, and thought 'what the hell?'
So, here is a snapshot of Dante's Cove:

Kevin and Toby are having an argument after Kevin was caught 'making nice' with another guy. Actually, it wasn't all Kevin's fault. Pity there wasn't a smutty scene when I got out my camera. ;)

Took this pic last week out of Jeff's car window as we neared Seattle. Really hard to get a good pic that doesn't have poles/powerlines, etc in the way

Here is Ki waiting for her food. I always put the container down on a papertowel since she tends to make a mess of things, and she always promptly sits in the middle of the papertowel so I have to give her a little push out of the way so I can set her food down lol.

After heading to Pikes Place Market around noon, Michelle, Gin, and I watched Shrek 1, 2, part of 3, then went to watch Shrek the Musical. Michelle is still humming the main song from it ;)


The play was amazing...and all the scenery and stuffs. Dunno how to even begin to describe it, lol. Seattle is the first city to get to see it before it moves on to Broadway.

I might try to do another post with a better description of my weekend once I am back home. Mind has been kinda scattered...plus I need to make sure I get enough sleep before brother comes to get me tomorrow.
