About Me

**note--profile is best viewed with Firefox**


There's not much to tell really that you can't figure out about me from looking at my profile. Then again, maybe you can think of a question to ask me.
I really should update this section, but I don't know what else to put here so for now, this stays.I don't get out much. If you see me out and about doing something other than shopping, then someone must've dragged me out kicking and screaming even though my inner-self wants to get out and experience new things. I work around 40 hours a week and my puppy, Shilo (3 on 12/3/09), takes up some of my time, MySpace, Facebook and TV take up a bunch.Remember:
My favorite candy bars are Kit Kat and Crunch. I make a killer Chex mix and beef stroganoff (mom's recipe). I procrastinate and I'm a perfectionist. I'm not good with public speaking in large groups of strangers (I'm pretty shy). I listen more than I talk unless I'm really comfortable with the person I'm speaking to and then at times I can talk over them (not on purpose). I also have a hard time keeping mum about things. Maybe once I start talking I just like hearing myself talk or the fact that I'm being listened to. I'm picky when it comes to grammar...the use of their/there/they're, your/you're, its/it's, lose/loose and when people say they have to itch them self instead of saying they have an itch to scratch.
I'm addicted to the Frappe Freeze coffee mix available at Costco that I discovered only 'cause there was a polar bear on the packaging (thanks Coca-Cola, I'm an addict). Um....I can talk a lot about TV shows and not know what's going on in the news. I graduated high school with high honors, but I couldn't tell you the names of all the presidents or state capitals. I used to play clarinet from 5th through 12th grade (was 1st/2nd chair), but it's currently somewhere in my closet. I like giving advice to people whether it's asked for or not.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who can accept me for what I am which is a shy, "fluffy", 30 something woman who likes to make people happy.

It's so hard...

I keep reliving that moment...It usually starts when I see it's time for Wheel of Fortune or even if I hear it mentioned in a promo.  I'll be sitting next to my dad while he was in that bed and hear m...

Time

Time's supposed to heal all wounds, right?   Not enough time has passed yet and at this point I don't think there is such a thing as enough time.  I'm sitting here listening to my downstairs neighbors...

He's finally at peace

Well, my dad's viewing and internment services were yesterday (Saturday, August 1st) at 12:30pm and 2pm, respectively.  The viewing was so hard for me...not that I expected it would be easy.  I first ...

Dad's memorial

I'm glad that 11am was the chosen time for the service as it's quite warm out now.  It was a beautiful ceremony.  My dad's brother and sister and their spouses were there along with some people who wo...

so hard... (updated)

Every moment I'm not doing something...hell, even if I'm doing something I'll think of my dad.  I know I wasn't there for him or the rest of my family.  I have my life (if you can call it that) here i...

He fought a good fight

And to think I almost didn't make the 2 hour drive to visit my dad after work yesterday.  I made it to Federal Way a little after 2pm.  I called my brother to let him know I was near Hallmark Manor (t...

Why?

Why is it that when you have hopes that things will get better and are led to believe they're getting better...that they get worse?I learned on Tuesday that my dad was out of the hospital as of Saturd...

Daddy update...

This being Father's Day and all... I did get a dad update.  He had already been upgraded to the Progressive Care Unit, but was still located in the ICU.  So, basically instead of his heart rate gettin...

There is hope...

Last night my mom and brother were with my dad from 7:30pm -12:30am.  The nurses came in to clean him up and rotate him.  My dad's eyes opened and he was responsive to their requests.  After he was se...

Feeling...

guilty.  I have the day off and I chose to not make the 2 hour drive south to see my dad.  I had a hard enough time all alone on the 2 hour drive back home after seeing him on Friday that I didn't thi...
