It was a Delight!




Look at these views!

Last night I sadly made my goodbye hugs and kisses(and some more hugs... and kisses ;) and flew back from the wonderful P-cola. I had a fine thanksgiving with my Siggy(significant other) and her family. Also spent some time with my family and friends and her family's friends at her engagement party. It's so funny, a lot of her family friends have sons and daughters getting married in the next year and I've seen a lot of them in the past 6 months. It's like I'm buddy buddy with a lot of the fathers, and some of them have quite a sense of humor. I also got to meet some of the lady's friends from school, what a fantastic bunch. We all ended up going to Seville Q. after the party had subsided, and danced like superstars. Then a little Awful Waffle to end the most excellent night. As a side, Brooksy, one of the baber's friends came back from his drive home to bama to return baber's coat and preceded to give us a ride home, a decent amount of min. out of his way. What a good friend!

The rest of the weekend was a lot of qt, just what we needed. I was sad to leave but happy to see her again in 3 weeks. I am looking forward.

On to the crappy drive back. Pretty much everything went smoothly, I got my car in good time, and got a little lost trying to get onto the highway. This is when things went awry. I started hearing this whighing noise from the back of the car, and got higher pitched with speed. The steering wasn't compromised and I didn't see any smoke so somewhat dismissed it. Then it got really loud and the car started moving differently. Turns out I blew a tire, the same tire that my mechanic warned me about. My bad, I was supposed to get new tires a few thousand miles ago. So sue me.

Changed the tire, got home at an awful 4AM west coast time. It took me 5 minutes to get up the road I live on(only a few hundred feet) because nobody plowed the roads in Skyline. I finally got up my driveway, and had a bad feeling about the traction since there was snow on the driveway. My thoughts were correct and I watched as my car swiftly slid down my driveway into the road. I had reservations about parking in the street, but looking out now it seems that we aren't really a priority to plows(still snow on the road).

They ended up closing the base, and I got to sleep in(yay!) I spent the remainder bumming around and wanting to get tires on my car. At this point in my blog, you will see my text to abruptly end so I can accomplish that.

Enjoy my pictures!

Holy tsunami!

Last night I had no idea but there was a tsunami warning in our area! They canceled it this morning and I found out from our instructor, crazy stuff. Right now the winds are in gusting in excess of 50mph and the power is out in Whidbey. Thankfully not in A-town so I can finally write in my blog. Unfortunately I get to stand my PSWO watch regardless, but it's at 8 instead of 4, and until 12am. Fantastical! At least I get some Wednesday dinner over Zach's, I'll just need my flashlight and some candles.

Its my birffday! Yaaaaaaaay!

Sunday!!!!! Gotta love birthdays. Everything's a surprise. Who's going to do what for you? I love it.

My baby will be here in 5 hours, I have been waiting for this the day she left. It so sucks when she's not around. I sure will make the most of our weekend together.

Tomorrow her and I will probably spend most of the time in qto(quality time out) in my room, then off to south whidbey Island for some dinner and dancing. Once we have our fill we go back to Atown to the brown or Wtown, then a night in the glorious Majestic Hotel. It's so fantastic I have to pee.

Sunday, I'm not so sure. Izumi's roomy is making perogies from scratch(awthome!) and we are starting our first day in swing class. I'm way too excited for the male species. I don't care.

Have a great weekend everyone!
