Hard at work
Posted on August 30, 2005 | Category: Uncategorized | 8 Comments
“Halle-effing-lujah,” I cried out today at work after Roth called me to say he got a job. Finally. He got a job! Woot, woot! He will be working as a quality assurance technician for a local food company. He starts later this week. Needless to say, we are both very relieved to both be gainfully [...]
All growns up?

I’ve been fairly remiss in posting these days, and not for any particularly good reason. No news to report on Roth’s job front other than he’s now being considered by two companies, both of which have told him they want him, but neither of which have actually offered him anything concrete. One job’s hours are [...]
Good, good stuff

It’s been more than a month now, living here in Seattle. Roth and I are really starting to feel settled in to our new lives, despite the fact that he hasn’t been able to secure a full-time job yet (a third interview this Friday, though – cross your fingers!). I still get completely turned around [...]
The end is nigh

Sadly, tonight we will be watching the final episode of “Six Feet Under.” I can hardly believe it’s over, that the show is really not coming back. But somehow I managed to live through the finale of “Sex and the City,” and now I get to look forward to one (possibly two?) more season of [...]
Weighing on my mind
Posted on August 19, 2005 | Category: Uncategorized | 3 Comments
I came to a realization this evening that I must get myself back into a gym, and pronto. I haven’t worked out since before the wedding, and all these life changes have prompted me to start eating with reckless abandon (most specifically, Tillamook ice cream, which we recently discovered — the chocolate mint fudge? Is [...]
And it was all yellow

A couple months ago, when Roth and I decided to make the move to Seattle, one of the first things I did was purchase two tickets to see Coldplay at the White River Amphitheater, just outside of the city in Auburn. Even before I knew where we were going to living, or where I would [...]
Everything’s not lost

OK, so our weekend so far? Not so bad.Sierra freely frolicked among the tall grasses at Marymoor dog park this morning. She loves being off leash among the wild. Makes her feel like an actual dog.There were gorgeous purple wildflowers …And glorious sun-ripened wildberries …And sunflower stalks, too.The best part was when Sierra got to [...]
I got friends in low places

Thanks y’all for your words of encouragement during this rough spot in my life. Two of my real-life friends commented, too, thus validating the fact that I do have flesh-and-blood friends, even if they live in far away places (or is it the other way around – I live in a far-away place, they’re still [...]
Like being low

Felt particularly low today. Perhaps it was the all-day overcast skies that pushed me into the blue. Or the fact that money is so scarce in these parts. Or that we have no friends here in Seattle. Or that I’m not sure if I like my job and have seriously thought about looking into other [...]
Bound and insured

It was a banner day on the work front. Apparently, I look like a Jessica, because two people at work have called me by that name so far, including the CEO, who looked quite embarrassed when I firmly corrected him on my actual name. And then the bulk of my day was spent being angry [...]
