sad ending to my vacation
What happened? At approx 7pm Pacific Time I took Zeus and Poseidon out to use the potty. We had just gotten past the motorcycles and I felt them starting to pull on the leash, which I had around my wrist. I was trying to get it off to just let them go but I didn't succeed. I fell and was dragged down 6 concrete stairs, past the dog kennel all face first.
Neighbors heard me screaming and came to my aid. When I saw them I had already dragged the dogs back to the house and had got them on the hook so they were somewhat secure.
I managed to get upstairs (although painfully) and grab a washcloth to wipe the blood that was flowing down my nose and the dirt off. My neighbors were then knocking on the door and as I was letting them in was on the phone with my fiance telling him he needed to come get me and take me to the hospital as I could not put any weight on my leg or foot. Neighbors proceeded to grab ice to put on my ankle that was already starting to swell.
After hours in the ER and scrutiating pain during xrays was given a percoset (spelling?) to help with the pain, and a prescription for pain killers. Thankfully nothing is broken, all it is is a sprained knee and ankle.
I'll post pictures when i have the energy to take some

Yeah....sorta
(Above courtesty compusa.com)
I happened to walk in to the compusa in south center that is closing its doors.
It had operating systems marked 30% off. I bought the Ultimate Upgrade regularyl $259.99 for $181.99. The price was reasonable at 181.99. I loaded it on my laptop fairly easily, upgraded drivers to vista, no problems. ...only concern.....is Guild Wars going to play on it? So I connected to my lan line at home, and launched guild wars ....... and it launched! i was able to log in and play

Laptop is dieing..........very slowly
anyway a new laptop has been bought, and I am very anxiously awaiting for.
the new laptop has:
512 mb Video
1 GB RAm
100GB sata hard drive
I also bought the bigger battery to give me longer time unplugged and the auto/air adapter. Yes my new laptop will be going with me to Oklahoma and Arizona. It also has wireless built in (something I elected not to have on the 5100)
Anyway........ on other news I also had purchased a 250GB Sata hard drive for my pc at home. I received this toy in the mail yesterday....upon opening it I realized that I didn't have enough power connectors or sata connectors on my current power supply....... so I went in search of a new power supply this morning as I got into work......and quickly purchased a 550 watt power supply that also has the sata power connectors already attached ....no adapter needed....
Am in class awaiting the instructor to arrive who thought class was tomorrow and not tomorrow. School chair said we could have class tomorrow instead of waiting for the instructor tonight, and I said "Oh heck no..... I get tomorrow with my fiance you are not taking that from me".....he had already threatened Saturday class last night........ I do NOT want a Saturday class again.....its a dread and throws a wrench in everything.....

I get to see my sweetie
on the work front things are looking up, I may be moved at least part time into IT. to help them install operating systems and such. I got my amplifier back for my phone and suddenly I can hear again. We'll see. I'm working on keeping my voice calm and collected and not let any frustration show in my voice. Hopefully it will work bring my scores up.

Complex Problems
"Complex problemse defy simple solutions. One cannot end poverty by giving money to every poor person, nor is the world cleaned up if everyone rode their bikes to work instead of driving. We need to commit to a total solution for our perceived problems. We need to also remember that most solutions hurt people too. What or who we hurt and who or what we fix is always the tough part of the equation."

Blah and yea!
Puppy update: Poseidon is doing much better with his hurt paw. He hog tied himself last Wednesday for a couple of hours, when Daryl and I got home it was the size of a baseball almost. I spent two hours in the snow with him that night cold= swelling go down! Some of the swelling went down with that and over the next couple of days we just were careful with him knowing that his paw was hurt and didnt have all the feeling back into it yet. Well yesterday I saw open wounds where the lead had cut in. I took both the puppies out, then left Zeus downstairs so I could treat Poseidon's wounds without having to worry about Zeus. While Poseidon cried he didn't try to snip or bite me at all. He in fact just sit there and licked my face as I applied the neosporin to the gauze and then put the ace bandage around his paw. Bringing Zeus up I let them play while I did chores around the house. While I initially left the ace bandage the normal length I could tell he didnt like it after a couple of hours. So when I took them down to feed them I took the bandage and the gauze off. I got a clean thing of gauze put more neosporin on it and cut the ace bandage so that I only had to go around the wound three times instead of twenty. Seems much happier now.
TV Show update:
My show has finally started! Yea 24 is back on. Wow what a thriller and makes you want to keep your seat. Although I thought they were going to kill Jack in the first show I told myself, "No they won't." Sure enough he lived and escaped his captors....as usual. .... Go Jack!

It snowed!
Right now I'm at work having made it in with no problems at all to find that one of my coworkers as usual didnt show up due to the weather....knowing that when he was hired he was asked would he make it to work if it snowed.... he said yes......but so far it shows that he lied ....as he repeatedly has not shown up when the weather turns bad.
Yea tomorrow is payday...... question is are they going to reopen school in time for night classes tonight??? I hope that they do as I do not want to have to make up another day of classes.

Poseidon Graduated Training Class!!

The picture to the left is Poseidon (the one with the Purple leash) with his older brother Zeus. This was Zeus's first time on a leash for a while he is not leash trained at all and whines when no one is around. Zeus is older than Poseidon by 30 minutes. As you can tell Poseidon is still smaller than his older brother, being the runt of the litter. He may be the runt but he is full of energy, a smart and quick learner, and is very well loved.

The picture to the left here was taken on Sunday at Poseidon's graduation from Puppy Training at Petsmart. He did very well and even went first for the tests. Good job Poseidon, my baby.

ACKKKK geeesh
Ok, now that I can quit ranting and raving, let's move on.
How are the wedding plans coming?
Well, I have already purchased my veil, and tiara. Purchased something else but I can't say because I don't want word getting back to my fiance!
Matron of Honor is selected, my bridesmaids are selected (with the exception of one that I still have to ask....)
D and I are going this weekend to view 3 locations that are quite possible to have the wedding and reception at.
We have decided what our colors will be for the wedding, Seafoam Green and a shade of blue (haven't settled on what shade of blue just yet.)
Thursday, May 04, 2006
Moving.....

As of the beginning of September, end of August, I will be moving back into my fiance's house. It will mean sacrifices on both of our parts for awhile. It will help get bills paid off, so that we can save up for purchasing a home that we both like that is in his call area, or using the money for our wedding, or both.

Am I crazy????
So why am I going straight back to school to get my bachelors? Well, I can get my bachelors with friends in my classes, gives me more motivation if I just continue straight thru, and I won't have to hem and haw about when I want to go back to school.
Apparently I have the full support of my fiances family to go on to get my bachelors.

The...... Proposal

On Sunday April 2, 2006 at 1:30 am my boyfriend Daryl proposed to me at Alki Beach. I said yes to his proposal and was instantly crying. Alki Beach is one of the first places that we had gone to when we first started dating each other. It came out throughout the day that he was originally going to propose to me when we were up in Victoria B.C. but the one place that was appropriate for the proposal he didn't have the ring yet. He was going to propose at the Italian restaurant that we visited, but didn't due to the loud atmosphere.

Sorry
Was trying to do something nice for my mom for Christmas and all it's given me is a pain in the neck. Go figure. At least I finally got her new computer that I built from scratch built. The only thing I have left to do is install drivers for the modem, the rest she can install on her own.
Am happy for my 'bro' as he recently proposed to his girl.. Congrats you two.
I graduate in September,,....thank GOD!
Monday, September 05, 2005
Exciting....
Lyndsay may be coming to live with me after all. She realized that she won't be graduating with her classmates in 2006 due to the fact that she screwed around and failed an entire year of high school. She's seeing if her credits will transfer to the Seattle School system so where she will be able to graduate this year. Her dad has made it clear to her that it is going to be stricter rules than it was at her moms and that its not going to be all fun and games. We'll see what happens, she has to call the school on Tuesday/Wednesday to see if they will transfer or not and we'll go from there. Not like its going to matter to me much I'm rarely going to be home with class 3 nights a week from 5:30pm to 10:30 pm. All I'll be doing those nights is coming home, taking a shower and going to bed to be up by 6 am the next morning for work.
I am enjoying my new job, I have a lot more customer contact, but is basically the same as I was doing before just with a lot more work.

getting closer
I'm excited about the trip.
I start counseling on the 5th of August to help me deal with what's happened in my past so that I have a bright and brilliant future ahead of me.
Wednesday, July 13, 2005
A little over a week!!! :)
Things to do:
Laundry
Gather stuff to pack for trip
Clean out backpack for carryon
get car in to body shop (hopefully)
Good news! I have an appointment to get my car fixed (finally!)!.... August 1st.... ! Yeaaaa thanks insurance company!
The driver who hit me is going to be paying the shop directly so if his credit card gets declined they can deal with it... but if needed i can get my ins company back involved if needed.
Monday, July 11, 2005
:) so there!
in other news:
Called my insurance company, filed a claim, and they are now going after the guy who hit me or his significant other since the car was in her name. One way or another my car is getting fixed.
I was being nice before now he can deal with my insurance company. Since the car was in her name her insurance company will have to pay me. then she can deal with her ex over the cost.
Update: Insurance company got the name of the legal owner of the unit, driver who hit me still wants to take care of this on his own. I was told it is up to me at what I want to do. Driver told insurance company he is concerned that he is being asked to pay for damages that he didn't do. I advised the rep that I'm not asking that, all I ask is that the damages he did be fixed and that he pay for them. Rep said can send out an independent appraise to look at it, take pictures, and write estimate so that the driver can be clear that he's only paying for the damages that he did, I told rep that I was ok with the appraiser coming out and looking at the vehicle, but I would like to be present. I also informed rep that I was not comfortable in talking with the driver again after his hostility towards me on Friday she said she would be more than happy to talk with him after she receives the appraisal & when she receives it will give me a call with the info. She did say it is still my decision regardless of what I want to do, whether I want to go thru his insurance company or accept a check from him for the amount. I'm nervous about accepting a check without knowlege that it won't bounce.
Will see when she calls me back, right now I'm waiting for the apprasier to call and make an appointment to look at my car.
Saturday, July 09, 2005
Things to do........
13 days!!!!
In other news:
The jerk who hit me doesn't believe he did more than $200 worth of damage, I can't get my car fixed for $200, all my estimates range from $774- $1100 to fix the damage that he did. Turns out the BMW X3 that he hit me with isn't in his name but his soon to be ex's.... so its not on his insurance..... so I'm getting my insurance company involved to go after either him or the legal owner of the vehicle in order to get my car fixed. The paint is already cracking, so if its not fixed soon its going to start rusting and end up costing more to get fixed. Told Daryl if the guy calls him to settle don't talk to him. Insurance company hopefully will get this settled relatively quick, other wise I'm taking him to court. Daryl and I were going to go ahead and get the small claims paperwork on Monday but had dinner with mom and stepdad, stepdad said dont do that to contact my insurance company and let them know whats going on have them go after the guy and the legal owner of the car, then it should get taken care of really quick but in the meantime don't get it fixed. Guy who hit me saying all the other damage was already there, kept saying that he was told that they would have to repaint the entire car, i called the company and its not what I was told...... the guy is blowing smoke out of his arse more than likely cause he don't want to pay for the damage he caused....wondering if he's done this before.....wishing i had called the cops now........
Friday, July 08, 2005
Wednesday, July 06, 2005
ok time to get serious
looks like the guy who hit me is FINALLY gonna get my car fixed .... fingers crossed
With it getting closer to the DAY I leave I gotta start gathering stuff that I'm taking with me and start packing so I don't forget anything.
In other news: someone broke into Lyndsay's car and stole her stereo that dad had given her (wasn't installed yet)..... so now shes down in the dumps. Maybe I'll call her and take her to dinner for her birthday....we'll see.

OMG!
23 days till boston more tonight
Tuesday, June 28, 2005
sigh.....
But here's what's happened yesterday.
My schedule changed once again when they announced that they weren't going to stay open extended hours for E-Contracts any longer with nothing coming in. Which I understand. They also announced that they were no longer going to pay for our parking passees after July. This sucks for me as it now effects how I get to school. Its fine for the summer, but once school starts in September I'll have to take the bus in and home on days I don't have class, and the days I do have class, pay to park in the building out of my own pocket.
But I will be going back to 8-5pm giving me more free time in the evening at least for now.
Monday, June 27, 2005
yippeeee
25 days till boston!!! Swim suit ordered, gonna start packing next week after the 4th.
Friday, June 24, 2005

Sunday, December 26, 2004
just....here
I got up went thru some things, got rid of some stuff, then cleaned some stuff.
Did I get what I wanted for Christmas? I can sum it up in one word. No. But what did i really want for Christmas? Did I even really know what I wanted? No, not really. What was I hoping for? I guess I was hoping for a ring and a proposal, but I knew that wasn't going to come. I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon, at all.
What am I being asked to do? I'm being asked to take in my boyfriend's 16 year old daughter who's by law and by blood not really his. Why? Because her mother is a drunk. How do I feel about this? To tell the truth, at first I was do what you need to do to get her up here. But how do I feel now? To tell the truth, I don't know. After the past few days I really don't know. I've been hurt by them both and I don't know what I want any more. How was I hurt? She believes I have been talking to her like a 10 year old which to me I haven't. I apologized telling her thru him, told him I just won't talk to her at all for the rest of her stay Yes she does a few things that irritate me, but I haven't said a thing to her about them at all.

On another note things continue to go well as I try to find work a touch closer to home.
Thursday, November 04, 2004
Yea! End in Sight
They are:
- Operating Systems II
- Operating Systems III
- PC Hardware II
- Local Area Networks II
- Local Area Networks III
- Wireless Communications I
- CISCO I
- CISCO II
- Help Desk, Research, & Customer Service
2 of the below to replace Beginning Computers and Intro to Computing Technology (which are required for the degree but the instructor is signing off on it so I don't have to take it, but have to take 2 of these classes to make up those 10 credits
- Network Security
- Web Server Configuration & Management
- CISCO III
- CISCO IV
Bad news though is that Cisco I was offered this quarter and I should have been in it, but due to another advisor not telling me that it was only going to be offered once a year I now have to wait till next fall to take it and next winter to take Cisco II..... but she is going to sign me into classes that have pre-reqs on it that I haven't met yet..like OS 3 since its being offered Winter Quarter.
I am also having to rearrange my work schedule again so I can get these classes in...so you may see very little from me after January 1st due to class and work.
