I think i'm past the worst of it. Just residual cold'ness left. I was so sick for the past few days. Perhaps due to seacompressions fun and excitement. Who knows all I know is i've been cooped up in this apartment for far too long. Only making trips to safeway for more cold meds and orange juice.

I can finally study my drink cards again and I will be finally getting to go to my bar tending class again. I will go back on monday. This cold seriously just threw me.

Its getting colder in seattle. And its currently approx 59degrees in my apartment. I figure if I spend less on electic I can spend that money elsewhere. Oh sure if it goes below 55 or so in here i will put the heat on. But ya know 59-60 is actually quite comfy.

I've taken a hiatus of selling stuff on ebay. Although it was providing a good deal of spending money for me.

I have this inkling to make something. (no not the quilt, yet) but I dont know. I just feel like there is something I need to make I just dont know what it is. Although I did do a quilt color organization of the fabrics that I have. I still have half of a bin to still sort out. But at least some are in color families now.
But I dont know I want to make something.

My knee is feeling much better. I might actually go to the gym today.
I was looking through old photos last night. Pictures of my friends, some that I havent seen in months some I havent seen in years. Also saw pictures of me when I was thin, but we all know why there.

gah I did it again.. I went off in search of a picture to put here and well oh 15-20 minutes later. I went oh yea.. i was blogging about something.

Anyway. Still unemployed. Still hopeful. Cept for the fuckin scammers and spammers on craigslist. Oh yea, thats a new thing. Spammers or whatever they are are harvesting emails from people via the job search thing. I found at least two of them today. And unfortunately they are getting better at it. SO what they have been doing is posting a job in say admin, cust service or hospitality. Some promise great pay rates, great hours great everything. So you think wow that looks great. Send along the resume. Then seconds later you get back a form letter directing you to a website to put in all of your information. A quick little whois of the website will tell you that the site is a scam. Fuck. SO.. its getting a bit more challenging to try to send out 3 resumes out when you gotta dodge all these fucko's who are making it difficult on which job posting is legit.

OK so thats my rant for today.

Oh and some pics from the past.


Gosh I have a lot of photos.

Transfer

I want to go out. I went out last saturday night and had a wonderful time. But it was OUT. Oh sure I meet some friends for happy hour on fridays, occasionally I meet up with some running friends too. But There are defiantly days I miss just going out with friends or friend.

I had friends in town this past few days and that just sealed the deal. Just those weird random bar/restaurant conversations.. I mean when a conversation can go from Latex pigs at archie mcphee to the political correctness of superheros in one evening.. its just fun.

Sure me and netflix have gotten quite close and personal these past few months where I have been trying to cut back on my spending (i mean havent we all, well some of us anyway all you uber wealthy people obviously wouldnt get it as much). anyway I digress.

I have watched so many movies, some good, some good on fast forward, some awful. I've watched, Dr. Who all 4 seasons in thier entirety twice(ya ya the new stuff, i've added a lot of the old Who to my netflix queue). All of torchwood, twice. seasons 7-10 of stargate. I've now just started on Season 1 of atlantis.

I'm tired of sitting at home. Maybe I will go to the bar tonight. Theres gotta be someone in ballard who can discuss pomegranates, bag taxes, and the wrinkling qualities of taffeta.

Oh yea and a picture of me from saturday night.

Drum Trip

I got on the scale this morning 164.8. Ouch. I knew I was big.. Didnt know it had gone that far. Looks like I have a whole lot of work to do.
First step. 159.

eta: well when I tried to publish this post it never went thru. So now I will just add to this one.

Today was a decent day. Obama became president. So thats awesome. I was decent with my eating. I didnt go to the gym at all today however. Amd thats making me a little down.

I have spent most of my evening going over my new index cards with drink recipes on them. I have so far, 35 drinks I have to have memorized. I'm not doing to good with them yet. Tomorrow we learn drinks d-k. OOf. This is a lot harder than I originally anticpated. But I am going to keep trying and keep trying to do my best. No luck on the job front either.

Love Song

I'm doing better. With my weight issue. No i havent gotten on a scale recently. I just have been better with my eating and drinking. Although all bets are off tomorrow if that old man wins with his moose hunting side kick. I'm going to go out tomorrow night. To celebrate or commiserate with others.

BUt I went to the gym twice today. Both times were about 40 minutes long. It felt good and my knee feels like its getting stronger.

Bar tending class today was cool. I got to pour er.. practice pouring. Over and over and over again. Til I started getting the hang of it. Also there is going to be a guy joining me in class soon. And oh my gosh is he just the cutest. At least class will be a lot more.. entertaining. Maybe he will ask me to go get a drink with him after class.. or something for "homework". Sorry, i'm getting ahead of myself.

My skirt is coming along. Still dont have a top to go with it but I do have an idea for that which will require a trip to goodwill. In some way I'd rather buy this one than make this one, thats not saying I wont adapt said top to meet my specifications.

Today was a good day. Tomorrow, is a whole new day. And I hope HOPE that Obama brings home the bacon.
