I sat down I my computer just to check something real quick on facebook...half an hour later and apparently its a great time to post an update ( Read more... )

So while quite a few things have happened in the last several months, my life is pretty quiet right now ( Read more... )

I've got three trips to CA planned within the next month or so. Consequently, for the first time since I started working, I'm spending more money than I am getting paid at a time when I really should be scrimping and saving ( Read more... )

I really should take time to post more, since I always enjoy going back and rereading the entries. My days have been filled with the job, the horse, the boyfriend, or the bike. So I've been keeping pretty busy. I haven't been shooting in a while, but my .22 is not working atm (I guess putting 15k rounds through it in just a couple months is a bit ( Read more... )

Last few weeks have been crazy. I passed my LEED test! And now I get to put LEED AP at then end of my signature. It'll have to sustain me until I can take the PE (that's Professional Engineer to the non-engineers out there) in a couple years.

I finished housesitting at my parents, and now ( I say now...even though I'm back in Renton just for the ( Read more... )

So I've always used livejournal as a way of organizing my thoughts when I have lots of things to do. But compared to my old lists, the ones I have nowadays are a lot different. And quite frankly, not all that intimidating.

To Do Tomorrow:
-Go over to the parent's house early to let the horses out
-Come back, pick up Nicola and head to the mall to get ( Read more... )

Yes, yes, I know I've been a bit AWOL from livejournal lately. Real world, yo, 'tis a bitch. Work is going well enough, I'm desperately learning all I can as quickly as I can to make myself an asset to the company. I'm taking my LEED AP test in May, and my company is paying for it so I'm taking that as the fact that they at least want me around for ( Read more... )

Twas my first day at work today! Well...my first time as a full-time mechanical engineer anyways since I had interned here for the past two summers.

I went in later than I normally would because I didn't want to arrive before my boss. And yet I did. So I spent a few minutes walking around the engineers stations and chatting with my coworkers. Most ( Read more... )

I've been talking to Landon a lot in the last week. Like... a lot.

His first call was last Sunday: 2.5 hours long. Next call was Thursday: 1.5 hours long. Then Friday: 3 hours long. And then tonight (Sunday): 2 hours long.

I'm not really the chatty sort and don't particularly like to talk on the phone...so this was really unusual for me. He wants me ( Read more... )

So...yeah. I'm back in Seattle permanently now. It was a long 21 hour drive from SLO to here, but I made it in one piece. The unfortunate part is that of course I get back here in the worst winter storm Seattle has seen in years. Suck. Hurray for hauling gallons upon gallons of hot water from the house to the barn to unfreeze the horse's water ( Read more... )
