Well no more fun & games. I start the new job tomorrow. I am excited, though. I am glad to finally have a job, and get out of the house, and be successful at something. Laurel may have to drive me if it snows too much, but hopefully the snow will be minimal enough that I can drive myself. I am hoping ( Read more... )

 Today it started snowing. It is my day off. I am sick, so I took a bath. During my bath, while groggy on dayquil (yes dayquil makes me groggy, ugh) and in a half-warm-bath-dayquil-grog state of consciousness, I began to think how it sucked it was snowing and how I wanted it to stop. Suddenly... I had this intense sensation of realization sweep ( Read more... )

 Fuck you, Spokane. I knew it snowed here but damn, really?! After taking Laurel to work and getting up South Hill just fine, I got stuck in the snow and couldn't get to work. So I turned around and went home. I was like, 3 miles from home but it took until 9am. I had dropped her off at around 7:20-ish ( Read more... )

 We were caught unprepared for this blizzard. The reason why, is because we didn't know that my HHR would be terrible in the snow. Laurel's jetta did just fine. I have semi-new (definitely not old and worn) tires, that are siped. But man, you take it up a hill and you'll be stuck in the middle with your tires spinning.

So I am home today. I had to ( Read more... )

We were in limp mode, my step-dad said over the phone, and to try and get it to a a Chevy dealer. Well according to my Yellowpages app on the iPhone, this was in Carson. That ( Read more... )

It is still snowing here in Dayton.

No Virginia City today. I hope this melts soon!

Today Stacy and I went to my mom's and had a nice Sunday night dinner. Stacy made her meatballs and everyone loved them (of course). My mom liked her other Christmas present (the one that arrived at my place after Christmas), which were custom coaster sets I made with pictures of her little dogs on them ( Read more... )

Christmas was different this year. First, the snow prevented us from visiting my Dad's side of the family in Samammish last weekend on the 21st, so we could not exchange presents. The snow also prevented a lot of people's presents from arriving via USPS and UPS (I ordered mostly online). Then, this is the first year since I was really little that I ( Read more... )

I forgot to add that they fixed the boiler yesterday a few hours after I posted that it had broken, so we now have heat again, thankfully. I don't know what we'd do without it.. freeze to death maybe ( Read more... )
