Quick Hi

It was hard to get myself motivated.   It doesn’t help that our table between our desks are trashed due to having to take things down due to comcast.  It makes it hard to work.  I didn’t go tanning or walking.  =(

I did get our books & bills done, store orders, got all of our magazine subscriptions changed on the address, post office stuff filled out, more online work and got a few other things done up, such as a verizon dsl account.
We had to deal with a power bump and then it going down for 20min in the middle of me doing all of this…..gggrrr

For packing, I got more of the bathrooms done. Now I need to figure out how I want to attack the office….I’m so not looking forward to that.  I will need to get that done tomorrow after the gym, errands and in between work.

That was day….need to get ready for bed and take some time out for myself.

Powell Butte

Pauline and I went to a local Nature Park in the area today and what an incredible day it turned out to be. I think it was in the low 80’s, but hardly a cloud in the sky so we both got some sun since we forgot to take sun lotion.

Mt Hood

Caught this guy eating, he watched us for a few minutes and went back eating and a few minutes later he laid down under a bush in the shade, I took some pics of it but it was too far and too dark so nothing worthwhile came out of it.

Portland…. even our trees are stoned…

How Do I Feel?: tired tired

So-So

I sucked on the treadmill today.  I went to a different one so I could see the TV better when I’m running, because I moving around too much to read and the machine felt totally off.  So it sucked.  =(  I’ll pay for it tomorrow….it is work the legs day with my trainer.

Felt off the rest of the day.  Doesn’t help that it stayed pretty overcast and chiller then the last few days.

It was great to see the Celtics win!  I really wanted them to win and in Boston, even though I hated seeing them lose in LA.

But that wasn’t as enjoyable as it should’ve been.   Sandi called and Zach  is in the hospital.  They don’t know what is wrong except that the ER think it is his brain, they have him on a breathing machine and the CAT scan didn’t show anything so he was going for a MRI.  He had headaches last night and got sick today and was glassy in the eyes….then the hospital was like you need to get your husband here.  That is not a normal thing…..   =(  So my thoughts have been with her and the family.

Nice & Sunny

The weather has finally gotten a little better for now….still 5 degrees chillier then it should be.  It won’t be that chilly if our house faced east/west and got some direct sun……so we have to turn on the fire place/heat sometimes just to feel comfortable in a t-shirt.  But at least we have been getting some sunshine…..thankfully.

I made sure I got out of the house this weekend and went for walks.  I hate being inside and chilled, when I can enjoy the sun an get warmed up.   When looking up local parks online, I found out that we had small trail in the next neighborhood over.  That is so cool….something different and less chance of people.  It is actually on our road, but our road has about 50ft that blocked off and grassy before it continues.  It looks like that wooded area has been there for awhile.  The trees are tall and thick, there are wild rose berry bushes, buttercups daisies and little white flowers everywhere and it is dark like an older area should be.  It is surrounded by neighborhoods, so you can hear them sometimes, but it is still nice.

I have more pictures from walks in the neighborhood.  Got some of some beautiful white roses….but I think I have posted enough for today.  =)

 Al Gore backs Obama for president

**I totally forgot to watch this.  =(  But I did watch it online.  =)  I’m wondering if Gore is going to start campaigning on his behalf.  I would love to see that.

Fight The Smears 

**I’m getting sick a tired of all the lies that are posted about him, I get sick of those emails that are sent out spreading the lies.  It is crap spread that is started from shit spreaders and racist. The stuff goes around so much that people think that it is true.  Fox News plays into it big time….gggrrrr  Hello….he has opened his life up long before he throught of running.  He is the only one that has been honest…he admitted that he “inhaled”  He has 2 damn books about his life…..that sold like hot cakes and you know who was buying them?  WHITE people!  If he was racist, they won’t have been buying them…and if he had been muslim, who the hell cares….the Constitution does not require that you have to be a jesus lover….

There are good muslim and bad muslim….just like christians….KKK anyone?  Actually until the state of Israel was founded by extremist zionists, who debilitated went about destroying muslim/jewish/christian relations among families that have worked together for centuries.  If anyone actually reads and studies history you would learn that they did use to work together in peace and with respect.  There was an extremely revealing article in The Nation about that when they were reviewing a book.

Chilly Weather & Pics from the Oregon Coast

I know it has been a bit since my last post.  Been feeling blah and so really had nothing popping into my head to write about.

My legs are hurting from today’s workout.  My trainer really pushed me today.  I finally made some progress over the weekend weight wise, not much but something.  Which is a good thing, because I was getting really pissed.  It was like damn it, I’m watching my diet and working my ass off….gggrrr  This is the part that sucks on getting old, harder for your body to bounce back…annoying as hell.

I was trying to find an article that was posted yesterday on a local news site but I can’t find it.  =(  It was about the funky weather we have been having and that most folks are calling june-ary.  It has been about 10degrees below normal.  It is suppose to be in the 70s with some dry weather but it hasn’t been happening….hell, Government Camp and Timberline got snow yesterday and none of the snow from this winter has melted.  Usually there is grass showing, but it hasn’t been happening up there.  It has been crazy.
Told Harold that everytime we move funky weather hits.  All the hurricanes that hit a month after we moved to Florida, the extra rain, floods and mudslids that hit the West and North of Portland last fall.  I actually think it is Harold’s fault….when he lived in Washington years ago, they had snow and winters they almost never see……lol

I’m so looking forward to the next few days, it is suppose to be dry, sunny and in 70s.  =) I don’t want a repeat of the major heat we had a few weeks ago, just want to be comfortable with the windows opened…..that isn’t too much to ask for, is it?
