i write this entry with a heavy heart. jeff's dog zappa passed away last night. we think he passed away in his sleep so we're hoping the pain was minimal. he has been deteriorating this past week, which prompted a visit to the vet's on saturday. they said his kidneys and liver were failing - they attempted to inject fluid into his skin hoping that ( Read more... )

So...about not posting forever, sorry! I've been so swept up in motherhood and school that I've barely had time to breathe. Some days I forget to use the restroom until I'm in pain...that was maybe more than you wanted to know. Anyhoo....things are going pretty awesome for the most part. I've got all A's and one B (Statistics) that I'm pretty sure ( Read more... )

Today was my first day of the new term....

I woke up at 4 AM. One of the first things my loved ones will tell you about me is that I hate mornings. I don't just hate mornings, I turn into a monster. If you even look at me, I may stab you in the eye with my toothbrush or curse at you like a sailor. It was painful. Not to mention, the whole reason I ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my friend's wedding....you know, the one I was uninvited to and taken out of because of one mere mention of frustration with her. So, yeah...I was pretty depressed all week about it. I mean, I wanted to be there and I felt that I should have been there. Jeff was kind and took me to Coeur d' Alene for the day. We went for a long walk ( ( Read more... )

 After four excruciatingly hot hours in the car, we arrived in Kelowna around 3:30. We checked in our hotel right away, freshened up, and went straight to the Cactus Club Café - which is a chain of fancy bar restaurants where every employee is a hot chick with big boobies in a tight black dress that makes you want to run straight to the treadmill ( Read more... )

 We got home a few hours ago and let me tell you…it feels freaking amazing. The road trip was AMAZING, but being on the road for six days can sure wear a girl out. We headed out early last Saturday morning for Nelson, BC. I have never travelled out of the country, not even to Canada before - how sad is that? We decided to take the long route ( Read more... )

In case you haven't read my fifty thousand facebook updates....Jeff and I are beginning our road trip through BC tomorrow. We are hitting Nelson, Kelowna, Vancouver, and Victoria. We are both so excited, it's not even funny...we've been counting the days for months. We've been planning this trip for over a year. This is the first real vacation that ( Read more... )

 This entry is a little delayed....so, Portland was amazing. I felt like it went way too fast. I arrived in PDX on Saturday afternoon. My best friend's man picked me up from the airport and took me to a Chinese restaurant in China town. In North Idaho, our Chinese food sucks. I mean - the meat is all deep fried and unidentifiable. Nothing is fresh ( Read more... )
