"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense." -Emerson


"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing about." -Benjamin Franklin

Alma 26:30 "And we have suffered all manner of afflictions, and all this, that perhaps we might be the means of saving some soul; and we supposed that our joy would be full if perhaps we could be the means of saving some."

First Impressions

Well I finally got to my new home. It is interesting though. i have been out of this life style for a while now and it is almost strange to be back in it.. but good too. Contradictory I know, but it is hard to pin everything down here. I share a room with four other women from age 23 to 54.. so the dynamic is interesting. No one has started actual work yet so it feels a bit more like being at summer camp... or high school. The girl who is 23 like me, and only three days younger than me, is really nice. I like her alot. her name is Julia and she is from minnasota.

She also tottally has the accent that comes with that. She is not really into the drinking scence either so we get along pretty good. The woman who is 54 takes some getting used to. she can talk your ear off though if you don't stop her. I can see her having a little bit of trouble fitting in here. Hopefully she won't but it isn't just her age that sets her apart. Her general personality is just a little bit strange. But she is also a very good woman who truly wants to help everyone so I hope that she does well.
we had a bunch of trainings today, and then tommarrow we have one more, and then we start setting things up. I am going to be a hostess and can't really wait to get to work. hopefully they will also let me ne a barista in the morning because right now all I have is night work. It will be more interesting as the season moves forward because we are very secluded in ourselves out here so we live, work , play, eat all together in semi-close quarters and not many other options but bears. I would like to post some pics but this internet connection is so bad and slow it isnt really worth it now. hopefullly I will be able to add them later though. (Added now, That is the view out of my window)
We shall see how this most recent expidition starts to pan out....

TWO DAYS TO FREEDOM

It accures to me that even though I hate my current (soon to be former) job, this is still the job that I have stayed at the longest. I have been here seven, going on eight, months. That means that I have let this job suck the soul right out of my body for almost an entire pregnancy. I just find it funny and maybe a little ironic that this has happened. But now I am going thru my computer... erasing everything that shows just how much I slacked off on the internet and I find a little bit of a trail of things I was really into in the pictures I downloaded.... some of them have even ended up here.
Most of my wanderings in this vertual world have mostly been very random. Kind of like the picture of the Ninja cats.... but some has not been

Sometimes I am just so focused on not being able to go outside or even look outside when ever I want to that being outside is all that I can even think of.











I was definitily home sick to go back to Jackson for a long time and just generally checked up on things there way too often to probably be healthy. Since then I have decided that when you leave somewhere, you need to leave. Plus I was really just not getting enough work done.







I got onto a health kick that I suppose I am still on a little. Feeling good about myself and all.. Its been good. Lots of inspirational articles have been read at this here desk.





Eventually, I got interested in the world outuside, and the city that I live in... this is a picture I got from a global warming article. Apparently Seattle will be getting more intense weather as time moves forward.



Oh the stories one can gain just from going through a computer... I can almost smell the freedom.. ofcourse now I just have to email all of these pictures to myself before I delete them.
