I went back to Ashland last weekend for the first time in almost two years. It was a very quick visit due to my schedule and I wasn't even there for 48 hours, but it was better than nothing. I got to see Nancy, Liz, Stef, Meagan, Alex, Robbie, and Jacob. On Monday morning I had to say good-bye to Jessica because she is leaving for a 2 year job with the Peace Core. That was sad, but at least we had one last day of fun together. Then Jacob and I drove back to Seattle, stopping at Mommy's house for yummy food and a nice relaxing night. That is where I had to say good-bye to my little tiny poodle-face, and that was very very very sad.

Jacob left this morning. I wish that I hadn't had to work every day that he was here, but once again, it was better than nothing.

Anyways, here are some pictures. Enjoy.

-Without You

Dad, Karen and the Zachlet came up last weekend on a whim. I'm too tired to write about it, but that's okay because I can just post pictures and then I'll feel like I'm updating. Yay.

"Feeling it dying away all day, much worse than the straining against the leash, another gorgeous thing that should not have happened, gone again."

-The Beautiful

Scotty came over yesterday and we watched movies and ate junk food and talked and it was really nice to have a lazy day with my bro-wo. We started out by watching Newsies and followed it up with Brokeback Mountain. It took us awhile to decide between Brokeback Mountain and Fight Club, a debate that I'm sure many have been faced with before, right?


That was such a pathetic excuse for an update, but hey, it's better than nothing. Hmph.

"Didn't you mean to ever say good-bye to me? Did you mean to just - quit me?"

-Alexander's Bridge

I said there would be more pictures, and I meant it. Here are the pictures that Liz took from her and Jessica's trip up here. Enjoy.


These next two pictures are from work yesterday. Tom was a little stressed, and I was on the verge of a breakdown. Work has been a little "off" lately. I won't go into why because it's all just a wee bit too ridiculous to write about, but yeah, due to the "off-ness" of work paired with the fact that I'm hormonal lead me to almost cross that line to insanity. But instead of having a breakdown, I took an "I Love Seattle" tank top and changed it to say "I Love Mariah Carey."

I'd explain why, but the truth is, I really don't know. Welcome to my life.

"Look up at the sky. Ask yourself, 'Has the sheep eaten the flower or not?' And you'll see how everything changes."

This weekend was so great. Liz and Jessica came up to spend the weekend in Seattle. I hadn't seen Jessica in a long time, and I hadn't seen Liz in almost 2 years!!! We attempted to go out a couple of times because we felt like we were supposed to, but we ended up spending most of the weekend sitting and talking about all sorts of things. Amber-face even came up on Sunday, so the four of us got to spend a day together. Good times.

There will be more pictures later, but here is a picture from the little park downtown with the man-made waterfall, and then there are some pictures from the dance party that I had in the kitchen with Liz. Enjoy.

"I like songs about drifters, books about the same, they both seem to make me feel a little less insane..."

-Modest Mouse

I was in Milwaukie for a few days. I don't usually get three days off in a row, so I figured I should use them to my advantage. I spent alot of time with Mommy-face. We even went to Barnes & Noble and found her book on the shelf! It was very exciting. I got to see my Amber too. We went to a little park by the Columbia River and sat and talked for a long time. It was nice.
