Lawyer meeting

Just an update on the meeting....we went over everything we remembered about that day. At some point here in the near future we are all going to give depositions. Should be interesting. Cant give too many more details than that.

Olympia

I spent the weekend with the family in Olympia. It was too short of a visit but very nice to see them. Spencer made sure he was extra ornery and sent me away with lots of bruises on my legs from his knife hips. He likes to lay across my legs and dig his hip bones in because it hurts really really bad. I taught him to be ornery so I guess I cant complain too much. I love that kid. Alex was back to his sweet old self. He snuggled with me lots. It was nice to see him out of his teenage moodiness. He is an amazing young man. Sabrina is as fiesty as ever. Still 5 going on 15. We watched Hannah Montana/ Miley Cyrus 3D. Not my first choice for bonding time, but she loved it. She sang along to every song. Sissy made some wonderful meals. It was nice to be taken care of again for the weekend. I miss them and love them all very much.

Last Thursday I went dancing again at CJ's. It was fun because he had a bunch of friends there. I got to dance with several of them. And it gave me someone to chat with while Jacob danced with his female friends. We also hung out Wednesday night and watched a movie. Yesterday he packed a picnic lunch and we went to Boyer Park. He made creme brulee for me because it is my favorite dessert. He made coconut flavored. It was really yummy. He is far too good to me. I am going to become a spoiled brat! heehee

Meeting with lawyers makes me feel important.

Two years ago, the first summer I worked at Wal-Mart, a little boy almost poked his eye out. I was the first one on the scene. Apparently, it is just getting ready to go to court. Those of us who were present at the time get to meet with lawyers on Wednesday to discuss the accident. I am sure it will settle out of court but it would be nice to have paid time of from work to sit in a court room session. Interesting anyways if not entertaining. I just wish the meeting wasnt on my day off. Oh well. At least I will be making 40 hours this week.

Last Thursday I went to CJ's and learned how to swing dance from Jacob. It was pretty entertaining as I am completely uncooridinated and have no rhythm. He was very patient though. There are two girls there that dont seem too thrilled that I keep showing up. One girl who he dances with quite a bit kept giving me dirty looks the first night we went and just watched him dance. When he had me in the back of the room teaching me the basic steps, she walked up and started to ask him to dance. Once she saw my face, she was like "OH, you are busy. Never mind." Her and her friend left early after about an hour of him being in the back of the room with me.

The other girl I think was more irritated that he wasnt just sitting on the stage taking care of the music like he was supposed to. She came up and was like " you know you can stay on the stage when you are DJing." It wasvery obvious he was teaching me at the time. There are other people there who also take care of the music and were on the stage. Jacob also kept running up there to change songs. We will see how things go this Thursday. Little does the first girl know, not long after she left I made Jacob dance with some of the more experienced girls because I know how much he loves it and I didnt want him stuck teaching me all night.

Friday we went and saw the new Batman movie with his two roommates. It was good but too long. Heath did an amazing job as the joker. There was only one point in the movie where I distinctly recognized his voice. Once the movie started you lost sight of the fact that it was Heath and that he is dead. After the movie we went back to Jacob's where he walked me to my car and kissed me FINALLY! heehee Only took him five dates. Its cute how shy and awkward he is though.

Sunday we went to church, grocery shopping, watched a movie at his house, and had his usual Sunday night group dinner with his friends. He worked mid-shift today and I closed so we got to see each other a little bit. I took my last break when he left so I could get a goodbye kiss. :) So far management hasnt caught on. We are trying to keep it that way otherwise they watch you like a hawk and get all over you if you even look at each other while passing in the store.

Wednesday I am having lunch with my friend Jen so I can fill her in on the whole boy situation. Then I meet with the lawyers, and then Jacob is coming over to watch a movie and hang out. Thursday will be dancing after work again. Saturday morning I get to go to Olympia to see my Sissy and the kids.!!!!!!! I cant wait.

Ummm what else...? I did laundry for the first time in almost three weeks, I went to the grocery store, I cleaned my room, and watched Stop Loss with my roommate. (That should have you all caught up Sissy)

Back in the land of the cellular

My cell phone is flixed! It decided to magically flix itself. I am eligible for an upgrade on August 15th. I didnt want to wait that long so the phone people at work said if I bought a go phone and put my SIM card in, I could keep my same phone # and everything would transfer over. So i bought one today after work. While he was setting it up, I was playing with my old phone and it decided to turn on. I dont know what its problem was before, but now its charging and working. It just wanted me to look stupid i think. oh well. at least its flixed now!

A Day at the Resevoir

Today I went to the Spring Valley Resevoir with Jacob and a bunch of people from work. Mikey, Jacob, and I swam all the way across and half way back again before having the other girls bring us the raft. I should be in great shape by the end of the summer with all this active stuff I am doing lately. Jacob and I floated around in the raft for about an hour chatting. It was nice to cuddle up next to him and relax in the sun, on the water. He is taking things slow which is really nice but frustrating at the same time. hehe Afterwards we went back to Holly's apartment to watch the Spiderwick Chronicles. Which meant more cuddle time. :) Tomorrow after work we are BBQing at the resevoir and thursday is the night Jacob teaches dance. I am going to have to get on the dance floor and learn this time. Should be entertaining for those watching me try to learn. Friday we are going to watch the new Batman movie with some of his friends from church. Fun times!

Rock Climbing

I went to church with Jacob today. It was nice but church always reminds me of my grandparents. As soon as I see little old people coming in and the music is playing...I start to cry. I had to block everything out for the first 20 minutes or so just so I wouldnt be the wierd girl crying in church. I am sure there is a special place in hell for those of us who purposely think dirty thoughts in church. It helped not think about my grandparents. I am horrible, I know.

After church we went to Granite Point and went rock climbing. I did good on the first one, ok on the second, and was pretty much hoisted half way up the third and hardest climb. I am sore, sun burnt, and bruised but it was a great time. Afterwards we went back to Jacobs where he cooked dinner for about 15 of his friends. He made bread from scratch that was so yummy and home made spaghetti sauce. It was really really good.

He cooks, plays guitar, restored a yacht that he lived on for two years and still has, is well read, well traveled, dances, doesnt smoke, and is really really cute. I think I am in big trouble.

Latest News

There is an opening at the daycare center on campus that I am going to apply for. I would be starting out making .05 more an hour than I do at Wal-Mart. And that is after the raise I get starting August 8th for my yearly review. I would have weekends off and if it is like other campus jobs, I would only have to pay $5 per credit to go to school. That would kick ass.

Thursday I went to CJ's where the swing devil's teach 40's type swing dancing. I was too chicken to learn but it was fun to watch. Jacob from work invited us. We invited him to come play pool afterwards. Then he and I went to the bagel store. I was in shy mode so it was a pretty awkward night. But he invited me to go to church with him tomorrow and then rock climbing with some of his friends so apparently it wasnt too bad. He is really cute and a super nice kid, (almost too good for me haha) so we will see how it goes. He is really into outdoorsy stuff so he should help keep me motivated for the weight loss contest at work. I have already lost almost 9 pounds the last two weeks. I am very determined to get back in shape! I may turn into a blueberry like Violet in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory though... I have eaten so many of them!

Stupid Cell Phones

My cell phone decided it had enough and died on me. Being the procrastinator that I am, I havent done anything about getting it fixed yet. So until I get of my arse and get it fixed, email is the only way to get a hold of me.

Blonde Moment

Yesterday I had to go pay my rent. I am walking along toward the office in my own little world, day dreaming away. I walk into the building and notice that the door to the vestibule outside the office is shut. I am thinking, " I didnt know there was a door there, and why does the office door have an apt number on it. I hope the office isnt closed and the door is not locked. Oh but it shouldnt be because the drop slot for rent checks is in another door to the left in the vestibule" I opened up the door, which was not locked, and walked right into someone else's apartment! I was totally in the wrong building. It never occurred to me that the door had numbers because it was someones house! I shut the door really fast and ran out. I am just waiting for them to put up flyers warning us about someone trying to break into apartments during daytime hours!

I got my windshield fixed. Its amazing how much better I can see. The old one had so many teeny tiny little specks from flying rocks over the years, that I didnt realize how much clearer a new windshield would be. And my brakes were fine, and i didnt need any work done to the engine! yeah for me.

I got a full time position at work. They rearranged the way departments are split up and accidentally gave me someone elses full time spot. haha suckas! Now they had to create a new full time spot for her and leave me the other one. I should be getting more hours which will help with my Europe fund.

I am still ahead in our work weight loss program. I lost another three pounds and am maintaining my three pound lead. I really need to step it up so I can pull farther ahead and not have to worry about the competition. The second place guy's wife just started working with us and I tried to convince her to fatten him up but she didnt go for it. Oh well.

I am still not sleeping. I wish this town had something to do so I could be productive at night while I am wide awake. Monday I was up for over 24 hours. I went to bed at 6:20 pm thinking I should sleep through most of the night. Oh no...I was up and wide awake at 9:45pm. Barely three hours later. I didnt manage to go back to bed until 8 am the next morning. I slept for almost 7 hours, which is alot for me. Now its 8 am wednesday and i am still wide awake. I am sure I will be up until very late tonight. I just cant seem to get my brain to turn off and relax.
