FINE!!!! ;)
What are your middle names? Jean and William, respectively. How long have you been together? 6 years and 4 months. How long did you know each other before you started dating? A week or two? We met online through a dating website. A success story!!!!. Who asked whom out? He asked me out. :) But it was pretty obvious that we were both interested.
How old are each of you? I am 35 and he is 43.
Whose siblings do you see the most?
Mine, he is an only child. I kind of wish he had siblings so that he would have a different understanding of how siblings work. But then again, he wouldn't be who he is and I love him exactly how he is. Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
Right now that would be the death of his Mother and the subsequent estate issues.
Did you go to the same school?
Nope. He is a Cougar and I went to WWU.
Are you from the same home town? Nope. I am a true Seattle native and he hails from San Jose.
Who is smarter? I would say that he is. And he would say that I am. See? Smart man!!! ;)
Who is the most sensitive? Me, definitely. I am a delicate peach.
Where do you eat out most as a couple?
Since we are completely into saving money we don't go out at all currently. But I would say our favorites have been Las Margaritas, The Olive Garden, and Thai Cottage. And we both loved Don Chuy's.
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Alaska Who has the craziest exes?
Neither, I guess. No drama there. Who has the worst temper?
Hmm, probably him. He gets frustrated more easily. But I have a problem with grudges at times.
Who does the cooking?
Me. He only microwaves. :) Who is the neat-freak?
Me. He only...... ???? ;)
Who is more stubborn?
I think we are pretty equal.
Who hogs the bed?
Neither really.
Who wakes up earlier?
He does - but that's because I work evenings.
Where was your first date?
California Pizza Kitchen.
Perhaps our dining habits need to go a few notches!!
Who is more jealous?
Neither of us, really. We don't the other reason to be.
How long did it take to get serious?
A week or two. We knew pretty darn quickly.
Who eats more?
He usually eats more during a meal, but I eat more frequently. Meaning, more than once a day!
Who does the laundry? I do the majority of it. But he definitely helps. When we lived in the condo he did it all. Boy, I miss that! ;)
Who’s better with the computer?
In different way, we are both better than the other.
Who drives when you are together?
Me. It used to be him. But he didn't like when I would get irritated with his road rage. And now that I have the newer car, it is more fun to be in my car. But I think he is the better driver over all. Must be all the video games.
Your turn! Come on, it’s more fun than that 25 Things quiz.

Papers. The bane of my existence
Does anyone else ever feel completely overwhelmed by their stacks and stacks of papers? Bills, old tax returns, mortgage statements, bills, utilities, cable, bills, invoices. All regarding $$ that we just don't have right now. Trying like hell to sell T's townhouse. Her death has left us with so much paper. And it just keeps piling up and threatening to fall over on my head crushing me to death. Anxiety with every mail delivery. More bills. Still no money to pay them. Certified mail so they know you know they know how much you need to give them. I don't have it. Please, someone, buy the goddamn townhouse. Even if we don't get anything out of it - I just want to pay off her debts. | | Thursday, January 1st, 2009 | | 1:20 am |

Moods
I've been very moody lately. Irritable one moment and giddy the next. Content and calm and then suddenly restless. At work I've managed to be cheerful consistently. So much so that a co-worker said that I'm always in a good mood. I try to not let any moods affect my work - I don't like to be on the receiving end of someone else's bad days or moods so I try to be consistently cheerful at work. Plus, no matter how bad my day is, I am certainly better off than any of the men I take care of since I now am working in a prison. :) Although on Thursday night it was definitely a challenge to stay cheerful. I got switched to outpatient which is my least favorite unit. So 10 minutes into my shift I needed to go to another unit to conduct.... some personal business. While I was washing my hands my radio goes off. An inmate has hanged himself and is non-responsive. &*#*!!!!!! So I take off RUNNING across the court yard, having to pause FOUR times to get through secure gates. Get the emergency bag and run to another unit, through SIX more secured doors. Thank God the guy turned out to be fine. He wasn't non-responsive contrary to what the officer said on the radio. So I assessed him right outside his cell and then they took him down to the infirmary where I assessed him further. He was admitted to the infirmary on Suicide Watch. Lots of paperwork for that, naturally. So by now I am very wet because it is absolutely POURING rain and I've gone outside between units a couple of times. Plus, I am on camera running in my bright light pink scrub top (the rest were in the laundry). I'm sure main control was amused. And I am a large person. So one can imagine the picture I made. Later in the shift another code goes off and I threw my pen in frustration "DAMN IT!!!" but then the code goes on to say that it is the unit that is directly behind me and no running is involved. ;) To top off my night, I am sitting in a chair in the nurses' station with another nurse and one officer. I guess I leaned forward too far and the chair flies out from underneath me and I fall to the ground. It was actually VERY funny. So after I got up I turned around and waved to the camera. Such is the joy of working under constant surveillance! Can't have embarrassing moments in private! I have so much to do at our house. Tons of little projects but it's hard to find the motivation. I went to clean in the garage today. Spent a grand total of about 20 minutes before coming back inside to surf the internet. All in all, a great weekend. Quiet time at home with hubby. I made a turkey meatloaf the other night and was positively SHOCKED at how good it was! It even tasted like my Dad's meatloaf which I haven't had in years since we don't eat red meat now. One big thing on my mind right now is my best friend, S. S has lived in England for the last.... 5 years maybe? Maybe almost 6.... Anyway, she hasn't been happy for a long time. Horribly depressed and her marriage sounds disconnected. She also has had a lot of family tragedy in the last few years with people dying and her brother committing suicide in the winter of 2007. And her parents are having marital and alcohol problems too. From her last email to me, which was only in response to mine, she sounded so disconnected and adrift. It's hard when someone you love is depressed. Helpless. I feel that I can understand how she is feeling to a degree, but of course not completely. I feel a bit guilty since I can't take away any of her burden. She has said that she wouldn't commit suicide herself because she has seen the damage it does to your loved ones. I hope she makes good on that promise. Her mother would not survive losing her too. I wish that she would come back home for a little while. Just to have a respite, to rest her mind and let someone else help take care of her for awhile. I know her mother has encouraged that as well. She said that she won't though. Stubborn. Too stubborn for her own good. Maybe she is afraid of being judged? She went to England to escape her life and lo and behold it was there in England too. Maybe she thinks that we will care that nothing has changed? We don't care. We just love her and want her to be okay. | | Monday, September 8th, 2008 | | 11:05 am |
Melancholy
I feel blue. Today is Jamie's birthday. I miss her. Still. Fiercely. But after all these years the pain is far less sharp. Duller. I came across a journal from around the time she died. I was in such a horrid place. I never thought that I would be able to function. But I do. I'm actually pretty happy most of the time. Amazing. C's "Uncle" died last week. And J's Grandmother died too. | | Friday, August 22nd, 2008 | | 9:12 am |

What a week....
This week has been one for the records. First, I found out that one of my Dad's closest friends won the state lottery (albeit one of the smallest ones), my hubby finally got his way and we bought a brand new Toyota Highlander Hybrid, and we went with my parents to see Bruce Springsteen last night at the Key Arena. It was an amazing concert - it's the third time I've seen him and we had by far the best seats that we've ever had. They weren't close or anything, but the intimacy of the Key Arena versus the Tacoma Dome made a HUGE difference. Now I'm putting off studying EKGs. Tomorrow I am training with the monitor tech in the afternoon. AFTER I get to see an open heart surgery in the morning! I am super excited about watching THAT process!!!! Work has been extremely stressful. Luckily my husband has been super supportive and encouraging and comforting. I lucked out in the spouse department, that is for sure! | | Saturday, March 29th, 2008 | | 8:59 am |
Holy moley!!!!
My Dad's friend won the state lottery! I've never known anyone to win like that - I didn't believe my Dad when he first told me. It was a cute story how he told all his cronies. It was a 1.1 million (or 1.2?) lottery and he took the half cash option. After taxes it was just under 400K. So nothing too life altering - but nevertheless, pretty damn cool! | | Friday, December 28th, 2007 | | 6:18 pm |

Why you should always turn on the lights....
.... when you get up in the middle of the night. Because when you'll flip on the light in the kitchen you will see your kitty facing off with the biggest mother f'ng spider you've ever seen in your house. YUCK! I could have stepped on it if Lucy hadn't found it first! I'm surprised my scream didn't wake up hubby. | | Thursday, April 26th, 2007 | | 4:18 pm |
Amazing
The most amazing thing happened today. I parked in the garage. I have NEVER, in my entire life, being able to park my car in a garage at home. My husband was all freaked out when he got home "Where's the car?!?!?!?!" He thought it was stolen. Hee. He didn't notice my sneaking boxes in to the family room. In my going through the boxes that have been there for 12 months (since we moved) I made a few miraculous discoveries. I found my stethoscope - the $$$ one. I found a check for almost $400 that we deposited in to our savings. And! I found the toaster! Whoo-hoo!! I was slowly cleaning out the garage and since this week my city was having "Spring Clean-Up" it was a great opportunity to put out extra cans of garbage and yard waste. Fun! | | Wednesday, April 18th, 2007 | | 9:03 pm |
Busy Busy Busy
Second day of working at Meredith's. The first time we cleaned out her entire kitchen from top to bottom. Got rid of 7? bags and boxes of stuff. Also cleaned out her wicker dresser thingy, her living room bookcase, and the couch table and all of its bins. That was some day in March.... Today we (our Mom joined us this time) cleaned out the hall closet, the linen closet, the dining room, the coffee table, the entertainment center, the fireplace area, her knitting stash and projects, and the top of her desk. Yesterday I spent hours in the garage, gathering garbage for the clean up event (the waste mgmt company will take 3 additional cans of garbage next week). Gathered up stuff that belongs to others and put it all in the car. The recyling bin is already full for next week. Later that night I put together my new potting bench. Today after being at Meredith's, I came home and did laundry, cleaned out the utility closet, and made a jumbo mess in the family room. This is all after working five days in a row (additional day from trading for V). I am still running on adrenaline and am unhappy that it's time to go to bed!!! Feels good to be productive. Especially after a winter of hard times. | | Saturday, March 3rd, 2007 | | 9:14 pm |
It's so weird that he is gone. I can see him bounding out his front door as my sister and I pull up to my parents'. "Whatcha you buy me?!?" He would always joke as my sister and I would unload any purchases made that day. It's easy to pretend it didn't happen. That he is still here. Then I make myself remember seeing his body. It did happen. He is gone. It's been hard to concentrate. I've had three close calls while driving. I need to pay attention. This morning I was thinking about him and I ended up driving towards his house and not towards work. Weird. I hope you are at peace Ethan. You've left a huge void. | | Sunday, February 25th, 2007 | | 9:26 pm |
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
Late Tuesday/early Wednesday my best friend's little brother, and my parents' Godson, committed suicide. It doesn't feel like he is gone forever. More like he is on a trip but will be back in a few years. It doesn't feel permanent. Did he know it would be permanent? Did he truly understand? His life runs like a filmstrip in my head. When he was born; how Shay and I played with him and how we avoided playing with him. Watching from my window as his father played catch with him when he was a toddler. When he had Epstein-barr and was at home for months, missing his friends and not going to school. How he got jealous during Shay's family birthday parties. Nine years was a big age difference during those times. His tanned toddler body and white-blond hair, taking a nap on the lawn chair in the shade while Shay and I played in the backyard and his mother gardened. His giggle; his father's pride at his baptism. His chubby, chubby baby legs. His awkward teenage years. The goth stage - oh how his black hair was a stark contrast to his skin. His personality was huge. So huge you could easily forget his demons and how tortured he felt, waging a battle against something so much bigger than he. How his parents loved him, fought for him, broke for him. How my mother loved him so. How we all loved him and wanted him to be better; for himself, for his family, for his son. "Before you cross the street, take my hand Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer Every day in every way it's getting better and better Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy" - John Lennon I picture you up there with Richie, finally feeling quiet in your soul. Finally being at peace. Know that you are loved and that you will be missed forever. We love you. Ethan 1983-2007 | | Monday, January 29th, 2007 | | 6:59 pm |
Ugh
It has not been a pleasant last few days. On Friday I felt kind of yucky and went to bed at 10:30. Woke up at 12:30 and was horrifically ill. Then again at 1:00. And 1:30. And 3:00, etc, etc, etc. NOT FUN. The next day I took compazine (I can't seem to stop throwing up once I start) and Immodium. And I get a fever or 101.0. NOT FUN. Spent all of Sunday listless and ooky. Monday. Rushed all day at work. Had to fill out an affidavit to commit someone (goody! now I get to go to court!) and to top it all off? Was punched in the stomach HARD three times. Apparently when I am tired my reflexes slow way down. Hours later it still hurt to breathe deeply. Oh, and the bonus? I got tearful at work. But when *I* get tearful I like to look like someone who has had a full breakdown. The joys of having fair skin. Blotchy, blotchy, blotchy. And I started my period yesterday.
