I forgot until today just how beautiful San Juan Island is. I came up here today for a onsite visit and interview for a job. It couldn't have come at a better time, b/c I needed to get out of my normal surroundings and regain who I am, and not what is expected of me. I had just a bit of time today from my ferry landing and when I was to be at the Rehab center... So I did what I do, I just drove. I forgot about the hidden coves, the being completely in treeland while driving. Everything is oh so green up here. I also went outside tonight to just relax and remembered to look at the stars, they are beautiful. They are still washed out a bit, but it could be b/c we just had a full moon and the slightly waning (??) moon was as bright as bright could be, or maybe still some city light. I couldn't see as many of them as I could in Kendalia, but still gorgeous... and also I wasn't listening to lion's roaring, but I was listening to a Cooper's Hawk that was quite boisterous as I was taking in my surroundings.
This place is quite different than TX.. granted they are a smaller rehab center, and it is winter, so they have about 9 animals currently. There is no one here on site at night. Though in the summer months there are 5 interns that live in the intern housing, but right now I have the place to myself. I would say I do have the urge to wonder into my old water hole, Herb's.. almost sad that I wasn't here for a Wednesday night, b/c of course they have Kareoke.. the place were my night life life really started. Awww... but tomorrow I am going to tool around so more and go visit all my fav old spots. Lime Kiln, Cattle Point, drive past the Friday Harbor Labs......
I sit here and let out a big sigh.. life is an everchanging journey. I am still not sure where it is taking me. I know where I have been and what I have done. Now it is time to reflect, set some things straight, and move on. /sigh

Heart in my hands
I lie in bed,
All cold & alone,
Unable to close my eyes.
My teeth are clinched,
My stomach aches,
But my eyes are dry as a bone.
I am filled with pain,
Anger reverberates in muscles,
Sadness occupies my brain.
My heart is in my hand,
My feelings on the floor,
All of me is disposable.
There is a reason I don't allow myself to feel the precursor,
Because this is always the aftermath,
My pain is overwhelming.
I fooled myself again,
Put it out on the line,
And I am the one being punished.
I cannot sleep,
I cannot eat,
I cannot even turn on the computer.
I call it done,
I will move on,
I have to.

White Jimmy and black pussy...CAT
Not a racial profile or comment… something my day was filled with.
I just want to say after the lovely, lovely day I have had it was just another piece of happiness.
My day started out a bit annoying, the phone ringing at quarter to 9, thinking it was some unholy telemarketer. When it actually turns out to be a call I wanted to get, the job possibility front, so I heard half the message and then went back to bed... albeit I couldn’t sleep. So I got up, did all my usual morning routines and headed out for errands. Normal everyday things… that are brightened by running into my good friend who is home on his mid-tour leave from Iraq!!! I was going to see him soon, but it was nice to see him unexpectedly. Although, I didn’t get to give him the jump on Tony, knock him backwards hug that I generally have for him when I get to see him. I guess I will have to save that for tomorrow when I see him.
I became scared b/c it was 11:30 am and it seemed like my day had completely peaked. It was/is in fact the best day I have had in an incredibly long time. Amazing, I was fearful though that this meant that my day could and would take a turn for the worst. But, I wasn’t going to let it. The weather was beautiful today. It was about 65 degrees in our sunny little town, which was 10 degrees warmer than it was in the Quah. With some sunlight left, trust me, being on this side of the hills the sun disappears for us at 2:30 at the latest right now. So I decided to give Jimmy a bath, it has been something that has bugged me for a very long time. He hasn’t been cleaned in about a year, so now all my Texas dirt and bugs have been washed away, and cleaned off of my hands… shhhh… do you hear that?? I think I just heard all the “Don’t mess with Texas” dirt screaming! All the while I brought Onyx out on her harness and leash to play in the yard while I washed. Well I learned a few things, she may try to escape outside; she is freaked out by cars running and by the hose. She ran at one point and slipped on the garage matt that was wet and fell in the water, poor baby. I also washed my brother’s Evo 8, yeah can we say it was filthy too; and I got more muddy water on me from his Enkei rims, which really frustrated me b/c of how open they are and the amount of detailed scrubbing they need. After the fact I thought we should have done before and afters of my truck and his car.
Well that is about all I have for the day, now I need just get caught up on emails I didn’t get a chance to read yet, and have to look up the ferry schedule out of Anacortes!

If you love, set it free. If it loves you, it will return.
Soo… I have a story for you… it starts about 10 yrs ago; late summer of ’98 actually. See I had a boyfriend at the time and we visited the Central States Fair in Rapid City, SD. Well, through a series of unfortunate events, I lost my class ring. Yes, that does mean I rode a ride that got me physically sick and didn’t realize that I washed the ring off of my hand. I noticed an hour or so later that my ring was gone!! We retraced our steps and never found. I told my mom about it the next morning of course I was extremely upset. A few hours later we get a call from someone saying they had found my ring and was wondering if I had a reward out for it. I was in shock and said yes…. Mom and I hadn’t discussed it but I just randomly said 50 dollars, b/c I knew that is how much it would cost for me to get my one time lost replacement. I guess this wasn’t good enough, b/c I never heard from this person again. Making me sad and getting my replacement ring from the company.
Shoot ahead to about 1 hour ago. I was on the phone with my mom, and she asked me if I still had that second class ring I got. I was a bit baffled by this question and replied I still have the replacement ring I got yes, and that I should send it in b/c the stone is showing some odd wear, after all, I do wear it every day! I am still baffled in where this all is going.
My mom says, “Well I have a story for you.” Okay, not knowing where this is going, my thought is she bought me new one thinking I had lost my second one. Anyway, back to the story. My mom gets a message on her home phone from the “new” assistant vice-principal of my high school asking if she is related to me and would like her to call him back. Well she does, and informs him that she is in fact my mother. He goes into his part of the story.
Last week he went home to visit family, in Marten, SD… is amazingly enough not to far from where my mother grew up. Where he saw his sister that had “a ring” from Sturgis Brown High School, she had acquired it from a friend who was looking for a pawn shop and the sister said she would buy it for 20 dollars. Once she gave it the look over, she then gave it to her brother who is the vice-principal of my high school. My mom swapped him my story for the one he had just told. He told my mom she could come pick it up anytime she wanted. So, my mom and dad make the trip out to the high school were they run into the office and of course the clerical recognizes my mom. Haha... that makes me laugh; the vp calling my mom asking if she was related to me, all he needed to do was ask ½ of the staff and they would have known that, and as if they don’t have my information on file still. Pls... my mom gets postcards about once a month for me about reunion shit and what not, and we are the only, only people in town with our surname.
So basically I am getting another ring… means that I have a replacement if I ever lose one and have one to wear when the other is in for repair. First off, the one being sent to me will be sent in to be sized, I already know that it is going to be too big since of course I lost it so easily and then maybe I will send in the other to have the stone replaced since it is pretty worn from being set croaked.

Wow, here we are 2007. This year is the huge year. Decide to go to my 10th school reunion. Probably not just b/c I didn't care for too many of the cliche people I went to school with, but then again I think of how much I have changed over 10 yrs. I am not the quiet nerdy girl. Hell give me a bottle of booze, to serve, and you have yourself a fun lovin bartender.
Tonight went off well at my house, we didn't play poker, that kinda made me sad, but we did bust out trivial pursuit and of course pool. I made 4 tasty "slut" shots for us "girls" haha.. I enjoyed every minute of it. We started to name them as we went. 1. close to standard red-headed slut (pomegranate not cranberry), which coincidentally I am back to being, I redyed my hair last week and love it right now. 2. a strawberry blonde slut. 3. Blue haired granny slut, this one was the most potent of the shots but to me I couldn't taste anything. 4. The drapes don't match the carpet slut.. Yeah some concoction of mango flavor, peach schnapps, and jaeger, it was hella tasty!!! We lost one girl after shot 3, though she was faded after 2 half shots, darn light weights. On 4, Heidi, god bless her, got oh so giggly!! It was great. I started to slur a bit but would have still kept going if I had someone who would match me in my shot status. She also cracked me up b/c she is "beer drinker" so all shots had to have a chaser b/c the shots were to sweet. I am soo pumped. I really should head for bed, I will clean up the oodles of beer bottles and food trays tomorrow. Right now my head on the pillow sounds good right about now, after all it is 4 am.
I am kinda scared when I come back and read this later today on exactly how comprehensive my writing is, but you know. it is all good. 2006 ta-ta, hello 2007.
Peace, Love, and Chicken grease.
