The beginning of 2009

Oh my goodness so its already 12 days into the new year. Things have really changed this year. Well I have a job now, which is nothing too exciting because I sit in this all day glued to the phones:

I mean I am happy to at least have a job in this economy but seriously I can only stand this for so long and I am not recieving benefits so I don't know if I can afford to do this. Oh there is this lovely lady that sits behind me named Janet, she is a 54 year old woman and she is so much fun and whimiscal and vivacious, she's not at work today so its really quiet but when shes here I just cannot stop talking to her, she is just so much fun...

I went to a town meeting last week which was pretty cool discussing with people what we need to do to shoreline, the awful suburb that I come from, and it made me really excited and made me realize how interested I am in planning and policy. So, I am thinking about getting my masters in urban planning, which I wanted to do last year but one of my favorite, professors crowder crushed my little heart when he told me that most planners are corrupt. So i guess I will try not to be corrupted by corporate greed and the such. So I need to start looking at school that specialize in what I would want to focus on, I am thinking more community development, equality and health policy... but I am sure that will change.

It is really weird being back in seattle, I am a little reluctant to call my old high school friends, but I guess I should do that... I like the fact that I can go to concerts really easily and have all these new restaurants that I get to try and explore, Bellingham restaurants have gotten a little tired.

Went to bellingham this past weekend and stayed at emily's. It was nice being back in bellingham and seeing everyone, it feels like home, however I know once everyone leaves I know it wont feel as cozy, but I just really think its so pretty and I love the downtown.

Oh my goodness, joey and mesa are moving back!! YES.

Retro Jo Jo

Okay so I know its bad quality, but I found this photo while organizing all of my stuff, and I thought you would all enjoy joey in his overalls with one strap unhooked, he was so fashionable!!

Last Night was B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Okay last night was banana's for realsies. Saron invited us over to her brothers place for a panty/slumber party. We made dinner had wine, went out for ice cream then the bar time began! I mean the night was just nuts and I just feel like posting picture and let them do the talking...

Oh emily you and your man sandwich...


I am a little tired this morning...

Slush and Shopping

I got up super early this morning to head to the Blackbird sale this morning with Saron. Well super early being 7 but still, it was dark outside and no one should have to get up when it is dark outside. Thank goodness I don't live in Alaska anymore with all the darkness in the winter I would be an alchy... So yeah Saron and I got to blackbird and saw adorable leo, but there really wasn't anything good there. wah wah... But man I love Ballard.

Saron and I continued our shopping adventure into downtown, we had a lot of fun down there, we went to the new free people store which had some good things and we ran into some crazy lady that started harassing saron. poor saron... and then we spied on joey's man friend at his kitchen store. mwhaha, I felt like such a creep-o but it was fun. But yeah we kept shopping and eventually got lunch at the taste india (good choice sar bear) it was delicious and who doesn't like free appetizers and dessert? not me! I was pooped and napped for like 3 hours after that.

Any who-ha, I got a new web cam! See my hot picture from it?! I acknowledge its an awful photo thanks...

Saw Frost/Nixon, it was really good, it didn't seem very long either which is a major plus for me. Afterwards I went to oaxaca, and got a tamale finally, I can't say I liked it very much compared to the other stuff, but it was still really good. Ballard twice in one day is the best thing ever. I want to find someone who wants to share an apartment and live over there, its just too cute, and there are really cute people too which doesn't hurt.

Back to the Burbs...

My sweet deal of living in Bellingham with jo jo has ended, so I am back living in Shoreline, which is not something that I really wanted to happen, but here I am. It's weird being back to the Seattle area, I like the city itself, it will just be difficult getting readjusted and making new friends. I miss Bellingham a lot, while I like the downtown and being able to walk everywhere, I think I miss the people there the most though.

So I am in the process of decorating and cleaning out the room that I will be staying in. I took a picture of me in the process and will post the final product when I complete! See what I am dealing with:
It is a tiny little room, that has an awful pink paint color and bad bad furniture. For the time being I plan on painting and putting up pictures and the such, I can't quite afford new furniture, but I plan on moving sometime soon so it wouldn't make too much sense to buy any new furniture anyways.

I delayed my moving home for a few days by heading over to Lewiston with Joey and Mesa and his parents which was nice, it was a scary drive but I am glad I went, it was very snowy there, apparently it was the most snow they had had since '85. Ummm here is a squinty eyed picture of the threes of us:The snow is so bright, I cannot wait until it melts! Missing the joey and the mesa already.
