Jay and Meg’s wedding

I was so upset writing my blog about gay rights that I forgot to say what a great day Saturday was, it was jay and Megan’s wedding!

It was good to see Jay and Megan so happy they both deserve one another! It was so good to see some good friends that I don’t get out to see much like Jason, Scotty, Lucas, Matt, Shannon, Devin, and most of all DAN who I have not seen months. Basically we all just sat around and talked, drank, took shots, talked, drank, took shots,

talked, drank, and had an all around good time.

Some of us played some games: like get the beer cap in Barb’s tits.

It was an all around GOOD time! I wish events like this didn’t only happen once in a while!

Care Bares and Rainbow Bright

Friday night Nick and I cleaned the house and went to bed. I had to be at work at 6:45am. Saturday, Nick cut down all the trees that were along our driveway and pushed around 20 yards of 3/4 gravel. Our driveway is HUGE now and we could possibly fit 15-20 cars in it apposed to 3 or 4 cars.

Saturday when I got of work I came home and helped Nick by mowing the yards and weed whacking. That was an experience. I had the god damn weed whacker. Have you ever used on of these things? All it did was make my arms, face, and clothing GREEN and I have little cuts along my arms and now look like a drug addict. My favorite pair of sunglasses are scratc too! Well I guess whats important is that my yard is starting look a lot better!

Around 7:00pm Jay, Meg, Josh, his sister Johnny, her friend, and Melissa came over. It was nice out and the sun was still warm. Josh, Johnny and I left to go to the dollar store to get some glow stick and I think between the 3 of us we got about $20 worth. We also grabbed some silly string. When we got back we ambushed everybody on the back porch with glow in the dark Silly String. It was fun. Jay ran to his truck and got a “big boys” can of “silly string” called a fire extinguisher. Later that night we ended up cutting the ends of our glow stick and that turned into a glow stick fight! The next morning or yard was COVERED with white powder, colorful oil from the glow stick and silly string. It looked the Care Bares and Rainbow Bright went to war.

My weekend was great, I have GREAT friends!

I feel sad though because I never got to see Denise! I was going to go Friday but didn’t get out of work till almost 4:00pm. I didn’t was to go out to the bars because I would drink and it was Cinco de drinko day and cops were EVERY WARE!!

Denise, I will make it up to you FOR SURE when you move here! I’m super sorry!

Weekend in Review

Saturday morning I got a call from Nick’s mothers cell at 7:00am asking if I could go into work “RIGHT NOW” because the girl that was supposed to work the morning shift had just gotten into a car accident.  I had only had about 4.5 hours of sleep but I couldn’t exactly say tell her, “no”.  I got up took a shower, did my makeup in the car (I KNOW THIS IS DANGEROUS) and got to Talent by 8:00am.

The coffee stand already had about 3 cars driving around like vultures waiting for somebody to open so they could get their usuals .   I was an hour late when I got there  and EVERYBODY had to ask a million questions and then the following conversations started with EVERY SINGLE CAR THAT CAME THROUGH FOR THE NEXT HOUR: how come you are opening so late?  Because Katy was in a car accident but she is okay, I don’t know what happened because I didn’t ask. I don’t know if her new car is okay, no I’m not NEW here I work the evenings, my In laws own the coffee stand.  Yes that makes Nick’s my husband.  Yes I enjoy working here,  yes it is nice to get the tips, thank you for being so patient, now what can I get you?

I eneded up staying till about 3:00pm.  Nick came and brought me something to eat and come work the next few hours for me.  I needed go home and take a nap so I would not be tired and have to cancel dinner plans with our friends.  I would have to say that working the morning shift was nice because I had $60 in tips by the time I left.  People tip a lot better in the AM.

I got home and immediately got in bed.  I had been desperate for sleep from the minute I got the 7:00am phone call.   I woke up at 6:30pm, got ready and my sweet husband asked me if I wanted to go to Macey’s and Old Navy to buy some new cloths. DUMB QUESTION.  They are my 2 FAVORITE STORES.  I was stoked!  I bought a necklace and a pair of jeans from Macey’s but didn’t feel much like looking around for things I really needed like shirts and shoes.  I was still feeling sluggish.

Old Navy was not much better, I walked from the front to the back of the store about 2 or 3 times before a table of colored shirts coughs my eye.  I grabbed 3 that looked pretty and met nick at the register.    About the time we were done it was time to meet Jay and Meg at the Outback for some dinner.  I was starving and decited that I wanted prime rib.  It was pretty much amazing and dinner was a lot of fun.  We laughed the entire time.  After dinner we went to Barnes and Nobel to look at books and take a friend some of the leftovers so he wouldn’t starve.  We stuck around till he was off at 10:15pm.  At this time it was pouring rain (which canceled our prior plans to go to the Mt.) and were still looking for something to do.  We pretty much said fuck it and lets all go stand in the rain up at the Mt. around a huge fire regardless of the weather.

By the time we got up to the Mt and made our fire it was nearly midnight.  To our luck the rain had let up to just light mist that easily evaporated near the fire.  We had amazing conversations about life and about the paranormal.  Josh told us things that made the hairs on our neck stand up.  We decided to leave after we had all scared ourself and it was after 2:00am.  The drive back down with my husband was nice.  We discussed our night and what our favorite “scary stories” were and how our night was.

It’s nice to have friends that are adventurous and willing to take risks to be together.

Rambling about the weekend

My weekend was amazing.  I went to dinner with a good friend on Friday and drank way, way, way, too much.  CRYSTAL ROCKS!  Saturday I didn’t feel all that great so I didn’t really do a whole lot of anything.  Sunday was Easter and it was simply wonderful.  Lots of Vodka Cranberries, good laughs with the fam, watching the kidos doing Easter things, and participating in a scavenger hunt. 

 

Today I bought a new purse that is magnificent.  And worked outside in the yard.  I work Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday and my plans for the evenings are still to be determined.     

Short break before shopping again!!

Gosh today has been busy.  I ran out to the coffee stand to pick up my pay check.  Took it to the bank then I drove to Wall Mart to meet my mom, then to Old Navy to get a shirt to wear to dinner tonight.  I just got home and I’m about to leave again to take my Mail Tribune pay check to the bank and Nick’s pay check.  Then to Costco to get some shit, then the grocery store to get food because I have been putting off shopping for over a week now and I think Nick’s about to starve to death.  Then back home to put everything away and get ready for dinner with Crystal.  I’m super excited to end my busy day with her ‘cause I have not seen her in FOREVER!!  It will be a great night I’m sure. 

 

Nick will be leaving tomorrow morning to leave to Sutherlin with his Dad to pick up our little baby goats and will be back on Sunday so I’ll have the house ALL TO MYSELF!!!  It’s been a LONG time since Nick has gone someplace over night.  Any suggestions on what I should do?????  Hope everybody has a good weekend and enjoys the above 80 degree weather today and has a GREAT EASTER as well!

I’ve failed myself, with cleaning!

I have been having a hard time concentration on cleaning my house and packing for Reno.  I made a promise last night to myself that I would spend the evening cleaning really hard when I got off work today so we would not have to come home to a messy house but I think I’ve failed myself miserably.  Don’t get me wrong, I have cleaned.  I cleaned all Nick’s greasy hand prints off all the white doors and cabinets, I have done a lot of laundry (still have a lot to go), and I have packed some stuff.  We need to do dishes, vacuum, and  some of the other escentials, but I guess my plan now is to wake up early to do so. 

 

Wish us (Nick and I) luck that we will win million, or thousand so we can pay off any debt that me may have! 

Spring is here!!!

Dan and Zara bought Nick and I little baby ducky yesterday so we spent many minutes admiring the cute little guy.  His name is Co jack-Bill, or just Bill for short.  He is dark brown and fuzzy with an unstable awkward balance as he wakes around on his large webbed feet.  

 

Last night was warm and we enjoyed the company of good friends for several hours over barbequed hamburgers and veggies.  We had a fire going in the outside fireplace, and a tropical wind blew softly throughout the evening.  The small groups of people transfer back and fourth from the kitchen to the back patio constantly changing the group and conversations.  It was a long enjoyable evening. 

 

This morning was amazing.  I laid in bed with the window wide open and listed to the Spring rain pour down, it was so peaceful.  It was a good way to start a Sunday.
