Long time no see...

Evening all...

So I will first say that yes I am an asshole, not only have I not blogged in days but I told quite a few people yesterday that I was going to blog and I absolutely did start one but for some reason my heart wasn't in it so I didn't finish or post it!

I don't even know where I left off.. Really not much has gone on lately.. Jason and I have both been working a lot! The end of last week was really busy at work, beginning of the month is really busy! Jason went out on Friday night with the guys from work to watch the Celtics game ended up getting shit faced.. he puked all the next day and honestly still feels like shit! He said he thinks its food poisoning, I think its karma! HA! So I didn't sleep AT ALL on Friday night and I had to work on Saturday and let me tell you it was rough.. I felt awful all day and came home and went to bed before 7pm!

Sunday we didn't do much on account that Jason still wasn't feeling well! We went grocery shopping which as usual cost a fortune, we had decided to go to a different store than we usually go to but honestly there is absolutely no deals there at all it just cost a fortune! So we came home from there and I made a big pot of soup because Ive been wanting it and Jason was in no shape to have a big dinner so soup it was. I love soup, the recipe actually came from a book dad bought me when I was little and I still remember the recipe to a T. I even text Barb to remind her of the soup because I know we made it together years ago.. It was just as good as I remember!!

Remember the pants I talked about awhile ago.. my favourite roots joggers? The ones that are a little worn.. haha well take a look at them.. I'm thinking that because this is one of the better holes that I'm not going to be able to wear them out and about much longer.. what do you think??

So I didn't sleep great last night worrying about how my day was going to go, I had a move in this morning and I wanted them to replace the carpets! Honestly it upsets me so much when they wont put out a little bit of money to make sure that someone is happy in a home they have to stay in for a year per their lease! So I had pretty much decided that I would check out the place this morning and if it was bad I was going tell her that I didn't want to do the move in and that if she was going to make me than I wasn't going to have them sign their lease until they saw the place, I figured she would be furious but too fucking bad. I know what its like to move somewhere and not have any idea what you are getting into until you get there and although we haven't ever been EXTREMELY upset and disappointed I wouldn't want to be responsible for doing that to someone else.

Anyways I checked things out this morning and they looked SOOOO much better than I ever expected possible!! I felt so much better about things and when they showed up this morning I really didn't have an issue bringing them over. We did the walk thru and they were so happy with everything and I gave them a bunch of advice as to where to get things and a big huge information sheet I made up for people who have relocated so they can get around! I was so happy that they were so happy!

The day was pretty long even though it was super busy and it looked like rain pretty much all day but we only got maybe 2 minutes of rain. Honestly with the clouds I was praying it would pour.. I'm in the mood for a good storm!

Jason made fried chicken, mashed potatoes and corn for dinner, it was pretty good! After dinner we went to Sports Authority because I wanted to check there for shoes once more because tomorrow I am going to go to the mall and buy the ones that I loved at Foot Locker! So while I was walking around I see this girl Christine who use to live at our apartments.. she had said when she was moving out we should get together but I could never find her on facebook or anything so I just let it go! Well I saw her tonight and she said we should definitely get together for a drink or something. Her husband is military and they aren't from here either, they have a son who is 2 and she said she feels a lot of how I feel all the time, lonely and no friends to do anything with. So we exchanged numbers and will hopefully get together!

After Sports Authority we headed to Walmart to get a few things.. apparently $60 worth of things.. I honestly don't know where money goes here.. but lets be honest Walmart is the devil! You can go into Walmart with the intention of buying 3 things you need and you come out $100 later with a bunch of shit you don't need.. it happens all the time!

Tomorrow I was planning on getting up and running to the mall and getting shoes and a Starbucks naturally and then doing things around the apartment before Jason gets home and we go to the gym but today when I was at work Jennie called, Jennie is Kevin Mallory's wife.. he works with Jason and they are going through all the immigration stuff that Jason and I went through and I think shes lonely because she cant work and shes pregnant.. so she called to see did I want to get together sometime. I told her that I had thought about it but I never have any days off.. however I was going to the mall tomorrow if she wanted to come. So I am picking her up tomorrow at 11am and we are heading to the mall!

That's really about it with us.. Ive had a really bad headache all day and I don't know what the problem is.. So I'm going to finish this and head to bed. I will leave you with some pictures of tonight's sky.. believe it or not it never rained! I assume it did in Eagle River but who knows!

So I will blog more I promise, I will be able to do so at work from now on because I will be on my own for a couple of weeks now! This is my last Tuesday off for awhile.. ugh! Besides I think Ive forgotten a bunch of things to tell you guys.. but if I remember I will blog quick notes!

I hope everyone had a great Monday.. is there is such a thing!

Here are some pictures of the sky tonight!

SUCCESS!!!

Well its after 10pm so I really don't think this is going to be very long, and I don't have any pictures to add so therefore its going to look even shorter!

I must start off this email by saying... Work has been absolutely NUTS but we have absolutely NO VACANCIES!! WOOHOO!! I'm honestly really psyched about the whole thing, super psyched actually!! We had a lot of really good units come available and honestly I had most of them rented before the other people even moved out! I have two that were trashed and of course they don't want to replace the carpets but honestly one of them is going to need to be done! Cheap bastards, we are completely full and have a pile of applications for people waiting for June and July and they wont spend money! They wont spend the money because right now Town Square has 12 vacancies and at the end of the month if nothing gets rented it will be 20! They keep hinting that I need to go over there but honestly its not going to happen, its on the other side of Anchorage and I'm not driving back and forth there everyday.. that would make this job not at all worth it!

Monday was absolutely ridiculous, I had 3 walk thrus and 3 move ins.. plus all the other good stuff! I had a guy come in, hes consulting on site where Jason works for the client! Hes apparently a self employed southern gentleman who makes $30,000.00 a month! He was super sweet and kept telling me how beautiful I am, and how my eyes are just gorgeous, apparently my sneeze is even cute! HAHA! He was looking for a discount on rent or something.. he was missing a few fingers too, I suppose that meant his job is dangerous.. so I guess he deserves that $30,000.00 a month!

Yesterday as my day off and I FINALLY got to sleep in, I got up at 10am and laid around for awhile and then I made some healthy banana muffins, no sugar, butter, whole wheat flour.. they aren't that bad, put a little organic peanut butter on them and they are aces! They have a bit of honey in them which offsets the lack of sugar. I did a bunch of cleaning, worked out and then had a shower and got ready to go out! Jason and I planned to go to the Moose's Tooth last night on account that I have wanted to go there for so long! Well you know when you want something for so long and then you finally get it and it sucks.. well that's what happened! Not to mention when we got there Jason realized there was no TVs and was PISSED! So we finished dinner and headed to the Peanut Farm for beers to watch the game.. low and behold the Celtics won even though Rondo ran his mouth and couldn't play.. Jason was a happy camper!

After the Peanut Farm we headed to the mall to check out some shoes, I really wanted some new Nike's (don't tell dad) but I think Ive decided on some New Balance, either way they only had two colors so I thought I would come home and see what they had online, WELL.. they are $40 more expensive online plus shipping.. WHAT THE FUCK??

Well let me tell you I'm wont be ordering anything online anymore.. If I didn't mention I did some online shopping at Lululemon on Saturday, a nice new No Limit tank and a pair of Studio crops.. I was soo excited!! They were suppose to be delivered today and if at any point in time I was near my apartment I stopped to see if there was a FedEx Parcel! So Jason says he was home and he could hear someone knocking downstairs and had a feeling it might be FedEx, turns out the moron went to the wrong apartment!! Thankfully Jason saved my parcel! So I came home and before getting ready for the gym I thought I would open up my new shit and sport it tonight.. WELL.. THEY FUCKED UP MY ORDER!!! I got two efficiency jackets or whatever.. same EXACT jacket sizes 8 & 10!!! So naturally I couldn't call because of the time difference but let me tell you I am FURIOUS! I waited and waited for this stuff because naturally they don't have GOOD stores here like Lulu and I get screwed... I'm going to pitch the biggest bitch fit ever!! Just wait!

Tonight we went to the gym, which always puts me in a good mood.. strictly on account of all the things you see there.. for example tonight's epic vision.. This woman who is approximately 60, and let me first say that I give her complete props for being at the gym and working her ass off, lady was sweating up a storm.. lol it was her outfit I had a problem with! She was wearing tights, pulled all the way up under her boobs and a sports bra on.. that's it. Let me make this clear, you SHOULD NEVER construct your own unitard just because the close are stretchy.. a camel toe will appear, making everyone around you extremely uncomfortable and at that age a regular bra with a tshirt is necessary. Again good for you for staying in shape.. but pulling your pants up under your boobs isn't going to prevent them from touching your knees.. those pants offer no support to your lady friends. Just saying.

So lunches are made, watched the new criminal minds and now I am heading to bed. Jason just went in there to read, ya mom I said it! Mike gave me a book on bear attacks and Jason is absolutely in love with it.. its super gruesome and when it gets really detailed he reads out loud... haha at least hes reading!

Deanna is in the office tomorrow and then tomorrow night we are grocery shopping! I'm hoping tomorrow is a little warmer then today at least, we are back to winter jackets, hats, mitts and scarves! I hate Alaska!

Tomorrow is Thursday.. only 3 more days of work! YAY!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

PS - I will blog after work hopefully!

Screw you Monday... Screw you!

Well its not even 8am and I am wishing this day away already.. in fact before 7am I was wishing this day away!! I didn't sleep at all last night and therefore I have a TERRIBLE headache that isn't going away and an incredibly busy day ahead of me!

Let me back track.. what has been going on lately? I should have read my last blog to know where I left off! Maybe I will just skip ahead to Saturday. Jason had to work this Saturday for the first time and let me tell you it made going to work on a Saturday a lot easier! I slept in really late on Saturday and then got up and rushed to get ready.. good thing I got that extra hour because Saturday was UNBELIEVABLY busy! It was so busy that when Jason came to pick me up I had to send him home because I knew dinner was in the oven and there was no way I could leave. I had to stay and finish things up before leaving and then walk home. Saturday when I got home we had a quick dinner, clean up, made lunches and than we had to head to Walmart to get the things that Jason needed to make Chili for Sunday dinner and pick up a few groceries! I took a picture on the way to Walmart - check it out! The snow is even melting in the mountains.. significantly!

Walmart was a good trip let me tell you, we encountered this woman on a scooter who was literally destroying the store! Haha Jason was like "Jesus, you should have to take a breathalyzer before being allowed to use one of those things".. she was all of 4 feet too... she looked irritated by her own lack of coordination and driving abilities.

When we got home we decided to watch the new Mark Wahlberg movie.. Contraband. Jason has been wanting to see this movie forever and we just never made it to the theatre to do so, therefore Jason has been keeping an eye out and it was finally released on demand.. excellent movie.. Mark Wahlberg is a bad ass.. and pretty freaking hot! All in all.. good movie.

Yesterday we were busy, we slept in on account that we didn't go to bed until late and I got an emergency call in the night of course! So we got up and Jason started on the chili while I laid in bed hoping to fall back asleep.. no dice! So I got up and had a shower and then Jason got ready and we headed downtown. We had plans for a drive or something this Sunday but the weather was cold and miserable so we decided that we would just go to the mall because I was in desperate need of a visit to Teavana! So we headed down, naturally making a much needed stop at Starbucks first! We got lunch and then toured around the mall, I got a bunch of new tea and Jason almost had a heart attack about the price! Actually he was pretty interesting the whole entire mall trip, everything I picked out he said it looked like a curtain or a table cloth.. if its not Hollister Jason doesn't have a clue! God love him! Pretty boy that he is!

Anyways yesterday seemed like a really long day with not time for much, and so I am wishing today away so I can enjoy my day off tomorrow!

Well I shall get ready for work unfortunately.. I will leave you with a picture of Jason's gun in its snazzy new holster! Jason took it on a walk last night and was soooo excited to use it!

Hope everyone had a great week!



All in a good days work...

Well I didn't really blog this morning and I didn't do so last night either so I thought that I would write tonight and tell you all about my oh so interesting day yesterday! I always say that I never know what I'm walking into at work.. could be a slow day, could be a busy day and you really never know who you are going to meet. I have definitely encountered some odd characters who come out with the most ass backward remarks but yesterday really took the cake on crazy!

Usually Deanna is at this office on Monday, Tuesday (my day off) and Thursday! She stopped working Friday's awhile ago although when they were on vacation I was in touch with the owner quite a bit and we were talking about when they were coming back and he said they might be in the office on Friday and I said, "Oh OK, well Tom but Deanna doesn't work Fridays" I guess he didn't know that she was taking Friday's off and getting paid for it.. haha.. so shes been working Fridays!! OOPS!

Anyways so yesterday she decided that she was going to go to Town Square again because theres been some things going on there and I think she is trying to be helpful and is also keeping an eye on things! Usually I'm all about having a day to myself but yesterday I have never wished more that she was there.

The day was quiet and I hadn't really seen anyone and really didn't have many phone calls at all. So I was sitting at my desk and in case I have never mentioned this before my office is actually in one of the units, its set up as a model home so people can see the actual layout.. our office is set up in the second bedroom but instead of having a big window its a sliding glass door, so when someone comes up the stairs we are exactly what they see! So I was sitting there yesterday and I see this woman out in the parking lot in front of the office and she was having some sort of psychotic break.. She was freaking the fuck out for lack of better words! So I jumped up and locked the doors and then went in the other room so she couldn't see me! Well she came up the stairs and was banging on the doors, and ringing the door bell, screaming at the top of her lungs! I was terrified! I knew she wasn't a resident and that something was very wrong.. I kind of peaked around the corner and she was missing teeth and the rest were protruding from her face, she looked wild eyed.. I don't even know.. she eventually left.

After that I closed the blinds so you cant see in the sliding glass doors which I do everyday at lunch and then I got a phone call from Creekside, thinking it was Tom I answered and IT WAS HER! She was in that building and was calling the office from the intercom and those calls are automatically routed to our office! So she asked was the office open she needed to fax something.. I finally got that after A TON of rambling.. I honestly couldn't understand her she was talking a mile a minute! I told her the office was closed for lunch and then I guess she was gone.

So I was just sitting down to have lunch and all the sudden I hear someone come up the stairs and start banging on the door and trying to get in, she was yelling again and trying to force her way in and I don't know why but I was so scared. I guess I couldn't tell what was wrong with her and she was being so forceful and so I called Clayton and told him what was going on and that I was really scared could he please come down, so he did and by the time he got there she was gone. While all the commotion was going on Tom had called and left me a message, so I called him back and told him what was going on and he said he would be right down. I guess he left his office and drove around the neighbourhood and then came to the office and said he couldn't see anyone but he would hang out for awhile. He hung out for about two hours and was very pleasant, and I greatly appreciated him taking my concerns seriously and being there.

After a couple of hours Tom left and about 20 minutes later Mike showed up, he wasn't working yesterday because his son was getting out of jail but he had his grand daughter and wanted me to meet her. He stopped by and we were standing outside the office because he grand daughter was playing around and I was telling him about this crazy woman and who shows up.. HER! I couldn't believe it, I was so thankful he was there though! We were standing on the stairs and she tried to get past us and I asked her if she was going to the office and she said yes and I asked her what she was looking for and she said she needed to fax something, she seemed a lot more calm but I wouldn't fax something for her, I didn't want her to think she could come back all the time.

I guess I feel bad that I might have over reacted and she is probably harmless but I was scared, she was banging on the doors and trying to get in, the fact that everything was closed and locked up seemed to mean nothing to her! Needless to say I kept the door locked for the rest of the day.

Deanna was in to work today which I was pretty grateful for, we spent the morning unwinding the mess of Yarn I had... literally 2 hours of untangling a ball of yarn! haha made the morning go by a lot faster to be honest! Overall it was a really quiet day today, tomorrow I have a few things on the go but I anticipate the same thing. Jason is working tomorrow as well, first Saturday work on this job which is great! Its suppose to rain on Sunday so I don't know what we will do now!

Anyways I thought I would share my story with you.. we went to the gym tonight and the grocery store and now I'm heading to the shower before bed!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!! I'm SUPER JEALOUS of mom, Fiona and Jen going to St. Jacobs tomorrow!!! Hope you guys have a great time!

Also Cathy, I'm absolutely LOVING the Iconic Pictures on Whispering Souls Photography.. the rocks in the shape of feet.. That's amazing, I would frame that!

Haha Im a tool!

I just realized now that if I click on the pictures I post it will bring up a slide show and you can see them bigger! I thought I would share that in case someone else didn't know!

I will blog about my terrifying day yesterday later! Maybe something interesting will happen today and the blog will be a real whopper!

A walk is never just a walk around here..

Good Evening all,

Tonight instead of going to the gym we decided to go for a walk since it is so nice outside. Jason has been wanting to walk towards Josh's house and check out the basketball hoops over there and see if Taku lake was completely unfrozen yet! So I came home and we had the pasta dinner Ive been looking forward to for days and then decided to take a walk. I'm not going to lie I wasn't really into it at first, I'm not feeling my best today and I'm completely exhausted.. this being light out all the time is fucking with me. I cant sleep!!!!! I cant sleep because at 10:30pm at night its still daylight out, so I don't feel tired really at all but I force myself to go lay in bed. Then its light out again at like 5am.. I cant handle it. We are going to have to invest in black out curtains for every room!

Anyways it wasn't too bad because I had yesterday off and basically lounged around and did my own thing and let me tell you it was MUCH needed!!! I feel all the time like we are so busy, probably because we are and that I really never have any time to do anything I really want to do, or do nothing at all for that matter. When I do have time off I have to call this person and email this person and to be honest I'm finding people for the most part aren't overly understanding of the time difference/work schedule/I have a life and don't want to sit at home in my spare time and talk on the phone all the time problem! For all of you that aren't understanding that I really am sorry, I do try my best to make time for everyone and when I send an email instead of make a phone call it isn't necessarily because I don't want to talk to you on that phone, its most often because I don't know how my time will play out and I think something is better than nothing.. and on top of that I can email from work and not call.

I'm getting off topic. So tonight we went for a walk, the opposite way that we went last time and it was really nice! A lot of people utilize the path which is great and the river is really flowing.. the whole walk is really nice.

The basketball nets at Taku Elementary really aren't far and Jason wanted to check them out and compare them to the ones at Campbell Elementary.. well they sucked! But was absolutely HILARIOUS was Jason trying to touch the rim! Honestly I was killing myself laughing.. Jason really isn't short but he was less than an inch off and it was pissing him off beyond belief and I just stood there cracking up!! SO FUNNY!

Check it out!

On the way back I made a friend.. we were walking along and behind us came this woman and her two dogs, one on a leash and one not! Well the German Shepherd that wasn't on a leash started out getting closer and closer to us from behind and then he would stop.. then he started to get a little closer at my side.. and then he would get ahead of us and stop and turn around and look at us like.."umm are you coming".. so finally his owner said, "he's trying to adopt you!". So then he got himself in a place that if he walked in front of us if he stopped my hand would brush his head! haha.. this went on for awhile!

We were almost home, crossing the bridge over the creek and who do we see when we get on the bridge.. Charlie! Jason finally got to meet Charlie! I think he impressed Jason with his knowledge of Maine and he asked Jason questions about where he went to college and stuff.. you know how much Jason loves it when people want to know all about him! haha!

So we just got home and Jason had a shower and I'm heading that way now, lunches are made and Idol is on! Mom got me all excited that they were singing Prince songs tonight.. but she lied!! ;) haha!

I will leave you with a few more pictures from our walk.. pure beauty!

Happy Hump Day Everyone!!

 This is Taku lake which is right behind our apartment! Its so beautiful, I think it will be really nice when all the ice melts and we can actually really see the water!

 No Jason is not peeing.. haha he is just checking things out!!

This is Taku Elementary.. not a bad view eh!
