Here we are between Valentines day and St. Patricks day, incredible!. I am still in school and due to be done on Aug 1st of this year, I can see the light, finally!

Not much has happened, I still have no life and I am still looking for that perfect job. I have even gone as far as applying in most Providence hospitals in all states except California. I would love to say that many exciting things have happened but I would be lying. Tim is working as a bar-tender at Camp 9 in Knappa, and as a furniture mover in Astoria; he likes both jobs. I have been a diet for several months and have managed to loose 24lbs. with little effort. I would loose more if I quit drinking alcohol, but that is not going to happen because it is the only thing that keeps me sane for now.

I have not read any new books or seen any movies, basically, I work, study, and play dead on my couch.

My daughter is still in New York and she is doing great. My youngest son is getting married in August, and my oldest son is just hanging out and enjoying his carefree life.

I feel that something big is going to happen, since I will be done with school and plan to do something with my life. The plan is to go where ever I get hired and Tim will stay behind and care for the house until I find out if I like my job. I think it is a great idea since I am not very anxious about selling my house or renting out to some idiot that will destroy it.

We do have a roomate, and she is working out great; she is a fine young woman and Parker loves her. She is not aware that when she decides to move, Parker is going with her; Ha!

The weather has been very Coastal, wet and cold. We saw the sun for two days, people in town were going crazy. It was like seeing cockroaches scram with the lights go on! We are so desperate for sunshine that we become mindless and just run out in the sun. The bad part is that we tend to come to this delusion that because it is sunny, it is warm; not so!

I am guilty of this delusion, so I put on some fairly skimpy clothing and take off to the end of town to my favorite bar, for exercise, thinking that I will enjoy the sun and saunter back after a drink or two. Now this has not happened once or twice, but all the damn time there is a ray of sunshine pouring through my normally bleak, living room. I just can't seem to learn that this is a ploy created by that deceitful Sun God, to get me out in my skimpy clothing (skimpy clothing here on the coast consists of a couple of layers, a coat and warm boots, scarf, and mittens) start of on a long walk only to have the Sun God hide behind a black cloud for a long period, (enough time to get me back to the realization that I no longer feel my lower half of my body) then out again to begin the thawing process. I am always falling for this, and end up freezing to near death, calling a taxi, or Tim if he is anywhere near-by, to come get me.

Ah yes! but I will no longer fall for that ploy again, for I have grown wiser of ways of the sun!!

I have my heavy coat, tights, furry boots, scarfs, umbrella and anything else to keep me warm, so yesterday that sun was out, looked so nice, it lured me out but like I said, I was not to be fooled, no siree, not this time. Tim and I got ready, and we stepped out into the beautiful day and started up town, about a mile in, we came to the conclusion that, this was a hot day and we were over dressed, seriously! we were sweating. He ended up carrying the extra layers up town! damn that Sun God. On the way back we were glad we had our layers, because it was so cold and there was a black cloud looming over us, we make it half way, until the skies opened up and let that black cloud empty out on us! This time it was the Rain God that was messing with us! I really need a life.
