Come to think of it

Now that I think more about it, I think what I miss is the simple life...bartending is not exactly a brainbuster and it's kinda cool knowing everyone you see. At the same time, it sucks knowing everyone you see sometimes, and you just need to get away. I guess I am excited to go back to work, but at the same time I know that with a good bartending job, I work much less hard and make more money. My teaching job is not bad money, but in a good location, I would make more with just tips in bartending. Oh well. Gotta have a grown up job sometimes, I guess.

Goodbye Ginger

Ginger takes off today. She was only up here since Thursday, quick trip. At least she got to see Alaska. She got to see the real Petersburg too, since it has not stopped raining since she got here. Dan got lucky, he had like 4 days of sun out of his 7 days here. Now I work today thru Thursday and leave late Thursday night for Sitka for softball. I get home Monday. That's labor day so there is no work, then I work Tues through Saturday and head for Washington Sunday. I'm excited to get back, but I am also having weird thoughts of missing it here. Mostly, strangely enough, missing winter, because I was thinking about when I went to Wrangell last December and it snowed constantly and was so beautiful. I was thinking how I miss all that snow. Then I was thinking that someone needs to clunk me on the head with a blunt object and say "You idiot, it rains all winter, and snows maybe a couple times, which promptly turns to slush, now get the hell out of town and move back south."

Creepo

So this morning a number calls me that I didn't recognize. However, with all the applying for houses and stuffg i'm doing, I figured I better answer it. It was : 916-628-0303. Google it. This dude started asking if I knew who this was. I said no, I don't ,who is it. He said I had to guess. I said I am going to work in ten minutes, I'm not going to guess. He said "oh, at 8:30?" which of course I was going to work at 7:30, which tells me he is down on the west coast since he is an hour ahead. Unfortunately I said no, 7:30, so he knows I am in a different time zone. He said ok, well I want to tell you about something that happened to me but I am embarrassed you don't even know who i am, so you have to guess before I tell you. I said no, good bye. He left two voice mails saying to call back on my lunch break. I did not, of course. I googled him instead. Seems he does this to EVERYONE. Creepy.

Working working working

Dan was up here for a week, so I got behind on updating this thing. That's only an excuse; I also just have been forgetting. I'm working at java hus today and tomorrow, then chelan wed and thursday, with the elks every night of course. And Ginger gets here Thursday. I feel bad cause i am going to be a shitty hostess cause I have to work. Nothing I can do, though. Over Labor Day I am going to Sitka for softball. The 7th I leave for Seattle again. I'm getting about ready to go. Laura and I are looking at two houses right now to rent. One on the river, with weird bedrooms, where she will have to take two small rooms and I take the big one. Or this other house that Grandma found, that is apparently amazing. I will let you know what we take. Let's see....we are going to Carrie Underwood on Sept 19, a baby shower Sept 20, the Seahawks game Sept 21, and WSU's homecoming Sept 27. Should be a good upcoming month!
