Argh..a Pirate's Life for me hehe

Aww another night on the boat lol ;-)! Still looking for that great place to work this fall/winter/spring and a place to park my shoes at night & call my own/our own.

C's trip went well and it's back to the normal grind today. Yay the weather is amazing today too here! Going to find the local Red Cross chapter and turn in my paperwork so I can get my stuff goin with this chapter. Have a quilt shop hop to look forward to this weekend. Too bad I will miss the oysterfest this weekend..that would be really great. Oysters are yummy.

Sending off the first QGN today and also printing off stuff for an internship I'm applying for. Wish me luck on that internship and on my interview next week with Aflac ;-). Hey it could be fun workin with other "cluckers" lol...besides good way to network. Also going to check out and see if PPC/Trader Joe's/Whole Foods are looking for anyone to hire. I think working for an organic food store would be amazing!!

Autumn is Here


Mom Nola loved the Sunflower Mystery Quilt..yay!!! C took it to her this past weekend in St.L. I am looking forward to picking him up tomorrow night and hearing about his visit.

Still looking for something geog related for work. Hopefully my interview with the "Duck" Co. goes well next week lol ;-). Insurance might be interesting. If nothing else it will make for another adventure and possibly some good networking with people in the local area. I'm hoping that I might also get chosen for an internship too.

Now if I could just find a place to rent ....hmmm. Somehow as soon as people find out I have a medium size black beast, aka my lab Magnolia, they loose interest lol. If only they knew that she is such a sweetheart!

In my travels this last weekend I stopped to take some pictures of the autumn foliage on the pass. What do you think? Isn't it pretty?!

Not the Right place


So I went to TBH in Olympia for Yom Kippur and well...I had a nice nap in the car to the sound of the rain lol. I did go into the temple for about 20 minutes before services were supposed to begin but I must say after being there that long and only 1 out of about 40 people said hi to me I decided to leave. The place just didn't feel "right" and away I went toward my mom's house. It rained and rained and rained the whole wayyyyy there :-)...nice but not necessarily to drive across the state in during the dark and over a mountain pass.

So next time when I'm wanting another adventure I'm going to check out the other temple in Olympia and hopefully it will be a better fit ;-).

Slosh slosh...jump...wading through the puddles


Well today was an adventure. I had hoped for rain so that C didn't have to mow the lawn and could go to dinner with me....well that idea was short lived when I found out this afternoon he had to go to an ems meeting tonight and couldn't meet me. Oh well.

It has been pouring rain all day over here and for me that basically means since I came over the summit in the Cascades around noon. I love the rain and I really like being here in Union (especially now after 5 drinking my cocoa watching the rain instead of driving in it) but not so much if I can't see C. Somehow it just isn't the same.

Well...time to head to my cousins and relax.

3 Weeks To My Double Chai


It's interesting how I used to go to a TBH in Cali and and am not thinking of going to another TBH...especially since the Rabbi's name is Seth lol. What are the chances of that happening? I'm hoping that I will get to spend this birthday with C as I haven't gotten to spend the last few with him.

I started a new blog for our adventures you can check it out.

L'Shanah Tova :-)
