All righty all righty all right. I'm here. Apparently all that I'm getting done today is some computer time--Ivy's the only one who's even dressed and it's going on 11:00. On the up side, I have reconnected with my friend Nathan (from high school and beyond, but lost touch in about '95) and am so happy!!!! He doesn't facebook though, so it's a lot of emailing. Super awesome to find him and talk--he and I were super super close and I have really missed him a ton.
Portland in the a.m. I am so freaking excited, you just don't even know. I haven't traveled by myself in ages--not since working for Zutopia, so that is way before Cedar was even a consideration. I am almost packed, and my suitcase is kinda funny-it's got a rain jacket, hiking boots, summery skirt, tank tops, and all kinds of other strange combinations because the weather there is like here lately--cold & rainy one day, warm & sunny the next. I think we (Alison & I) are going to drive to the coast one day, and we have a bunch of wine tasting planned. Other than that, we're playing it by ear and are just going to run around the city and have fun. Oh, and sleep in and get drunk and all that good stuff. I CANNOT WAIT. I seriously need a break from my kids and my husband. I could not love them any more than I do but dear lord everyone needs a break sometimes. Blake will get to go to Jacobson the weekend after I'm back, so he'll get a break too (and I'm going to send him off camping w the boys for a weekend, too). I am just excited to be a girl/woman for a few days and not be seen as someone's wife or mother. My identity is kind of... lacking these days, and I need to kind of remember who I am--not in relation to anyone else.
Guys, we only get ONE life to live. Just ONE. Yeah, I'm going to miss them, but I can't wait to miss them.
Ivy is everywhere. She is upstairs like every 5 minutes (has figured out the gate, too). Cedar has voluntarily used the toilet all day so far (she missed a little last time, but really tried). I hope and pray this means she is ready to give up the pull-ups. We seriously need the money.
I just got an offer to interview for a job at the Mohegan Sun casino (retail mgmt) in Conneticut. I'm not going to, but kind of neat.
Current unemployment extension until July 3rd, and pretty sure I'll get one more after that for another 13 weeks. That's probably it, then. I need to work on my resume, I guess. Ick.
OK, so much to do and less than 24 hours to do it all.
