walking in a winter wonderland.

Today was my first day off from both jobs. Why, well World Market said I will now be on call. Aka, if I see a call from them I will not be answering. haha jk But that was way awesome and exciting for me.
Today was also the first day of snow in Portland. It was no bueno. I had some errands to run and was not able to because of it. I tried and ended up just coming back because the roads were too slippery. Hopefully its all gone so I can go out tomorrow.
Anywho, here is a picture of my snow boots and the snow. Please rain rain make it go away!

All I Want for Christmas is....

my little kitty, Simon Lovey. She came with the name Lovey, otherwise it would be gone. She has some big paws to fill but I think she'll have no problem. So far she's been an amazing kitty, so amazing that I couldn't give her back while I was fostering her.

Oh and there was a christmas miracle today. Yesterday I left my super cute ceramic mug on top of my car and didn't realize it until I got home and couldn't find it. Today when I was at work I saw it sitting on the curb, in one piece, just a little dirty. A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!
What a great christmas, if only I had tamales. Tamale lady I'm hunting you down on my next day off.

Fill up my drink cup....

I've been working at OHS for a little over a month now. I just became a foster parent to a beautiful blue kitty la la. Her name is Lovey and its not just a name, shes way lovable and friendly. I brought her back to life from her URI. Now she is frolicking around, running through blinds, and sleeping on my bed. Shes my new friend, see for yourself.

you can live any way you want....

So it has been my plan for a LONG time to send notes to a couple of my old teachers. However I kept thinking it would come off as being creepy. Well I finally to wrote one. There are only 3, so one out of three is a big step. heh
I ended up looking up my teacher's email address through the school district's website. He was my 7th grade math teacher that moved me to the advanced pre-algebra class. It was a small gesture but meant a lot to me and my little 7th grade self esteem. Middle school was a rough time for a lot of people but I remember it was really tough for me for a number of reasons. So a little thing like someone telling me that I was smart was HUGE.
Next I need to write a letter to my english teacher from high school. Mr. Van Gerpen! He ruled and for some reason thought I ruled and announced it to every class. If I ever ran into him I would run up to him and give him a hug.
After that letter, an email to Dr. Green. He was like my guardian angel in college. He always had new classes that I needed to take, new professors for me to meet, and new lectures for me to attend. He always told me about things to do and I did them of course but then realized later that it really helped me in the long run. He always had my best interest in mind and when I went to talk to him about classes or life he would stop and listen.
These three people had admirable attributes that I wish to attain. Until then I will just let them know so they know that what they do every day is not going unnoticed.

I didn't mean to hurt you.....

I am thinking about next halloween. I had an idea to bring back one of my favorite nickolodeon shows, Legends of the Hidden Temple. So talked to the anissarage and they are down, I'm leaning toward the red jaguars or green monkeys. SWEET! Plus I'm always looking for a reason to wear khaki shorts.

On a totally different note, I gave Lemmy her booster shot. She was not happy. But I didn't mean to hurt her......oh well, its not the first time an animal has given me a dirty look and it won't be the last.

I know you wanna beat my lover.....

So its been a pretty eventful time here in Portland. I have gotten 2 jobs, made some friends, lost some friends, still hitting the bars, and still taking names. This last week we had some visitors. It was the opposite of the sour patch kids commercial, at first it was sweet and then it was sour. We're still laughing about it, even though I'm sure there are others that do not find it comical.
In other news the dude at the grocery store thought Eizelle and I were twins. We laughed and that didn't help our denying because he said our laughs were the same too. haha Well you can decide for yourself:

This is the picture that I think I look the most like Eizelle. heh Maybe we should have taken a picture today, to see if we looked more twinish today versus every other day.

going bear hunting usa...

So I think I might be getting bites in the job market. And the one I really want is through volunteering. The other is from my love of candy. I'm thinking I might be able to take both if I play my cards right. I need to save up for some vacationing......canada and europe here I come!

Oh and heres a picture of Eizelle and I jumping. Yelp party, they said free booze and food, we said YES PLEASE.
