Stout!

I was very surprised I actually liked the Stouts I drank last night. They were not as bitter as I thought. Of course they were much better with those delicious chocolate truffles! So we had a Mendocino Black Hawk Stout, Lost Coast 8-Ball Stout, Deschutes Obsidian Stout, and a Sierra Nevada Stout. The Sierra Nevada was my least favorite. It was a bit too bitter for me. That was my first time ever trying a stout. The other three tasted fairly similar. I emailed Capitol Garage to find out where they bought the truffles from. Hopefully they respond! Maybe it was the beer, but those truffles were excellent!

Watched the Time Traveler's Wife. Well not the whole movie just the latter half of it. It was sad. I don't need to go back and watch the beginning, I got enough of it.

Did you know Seattle is NOT the rainiest city or even in the top 10? In fact, Seattle does not even make it in the top 12 (give or take rainier years and account for anomalies) Basically most cities in the South and the East Coast get more rainfall. However someone described it this way, in the South it's like someone dumps a bucket of water on you every couple of days, in Seattle, it's like someone is squirting you with a water gun every day. While Seattle does not have as much rain as Texarkana (I lived there for 15 years), Seattle is cloudy about 200 days of the year and partly cloudy about 90 something days. So basically you only get about 60-70 sunny days a year. Where as in Texarkana, there are about 215 Sunny days, 90 something days of rain, and the rest are maybe just partly cloudy. Anyway, I'm sure I'd really miss the sun since I've been so spoiled in California. I'm not moving to Seattle, just dreaming. =D

Priceless?

Hanging out with friend in Downtown Sacramento on a Saturday night...Priceless...??? haha....uh NOT...ok it was fun...but still lesson to self: Parking meters are not free on Saturdays, even if all the cars next to you have expired meters.

Good to know...and a $40 lesson. Bah! It was still a fun night though!!!

It's technically the 27, but I haven't been to sleep so!

Today I helped to fix a toilet. First plumbing experience really. We changed the inner workings of the tank and also the wax ring and such on the bottom. No leaks, so hopefully that means we did it right. And then I had to clean up the mess. haha. And that pretty much sums up my whole day. Oh I watched The Changeling with Angelina Jolie. I thought it was a really great movie. I like Clint Eastwood movies, he does a great job I think. Tomorrow...what's in store..hmm....well I need to go to the bank. I guess that's all I really need to do. Such an exciting life I lead!

And the search goes on...

I had a group interview today at University of Phoenix. I believe I will find out sometime next week if I move on to the next stage I think. I will also be hearing back from Teach for America on March 2. I hope I move on to the next stage. I know it will be a ridiculous amount of work, but I'm ready. I'm willing to move anywhere, well almost anywhere. We'll see where life takes me.

Oh I also got my laptop back. The fan in my hp was loud and sounded broken. After only 10 days in the hands of Geeksquad, it's now a quiet hum like it's supposed to sound. I am glad I bought the warranty in case anything happens.

I'm tired, so I'm going to go to sleep now! Just wanted to get this blog in! =D

Peace outside.

Ah!

Forgot to post yesterday. I signed on and got distracted. I did nothing of merit yesterday besides work on my family tree anyway. Working on your family tree becomes addicting! Tomorrow I have this interview thing, so hopefully it will go well. Today I did at least get up, take a shower and went to Walmart. I had to get some resume paper, some new ink, and a printer cable. Mission accomplished. Tonight I have bible study! Hurray! So I missed a day, oh well! Here's most post for today. haha.

Slightly Snoring Snowbell

It's 1:56 am and Snowbell (my sister's cat) is slightly snoring. It's cute watching her sleep. Out of all the cats my sister and I have ever had, she is my favorite. Besides Cuddles. Nothing will ever replace my little runt, half blind, half deaf, seizure of a cutie cat Cuddles. She or he will forever be missed. That's sad, I can't remember if Cuddles was a boy or girl. The poor thing after a year was honest to goodness no bigger than a couple week old kitten. We stayed up to feed the poor thing with an eye dropper and milk. That resulted in me accidentally putting milk in my eye thinking it was my contact eye drops. I shouldn't have been sleeping in my contacts in the first place, but boy did it burn. We finally had to put Cuddles to sleep because the seizures were just awful and the poor thing was in pain. Snowbell is alive and well though, so it's all good. Goodnight folks.

365 days of my life!

My goal this year is to blog every day for 365 days. Even if I only post one line, I think it's a good way to go back and look at where I've been. Today I learned all about Egypt's ancient rulers. I literally watched the Discovery Channel for 9 hours. Hopefully it made me smarter!? *Fingers Crossed* Also been doing some more family tree research. I have a week left on my free trial. My paid subscription ran out in Dec unfortunately. I'll wait until I get a job to actually pay for it again. Hopefully I will be getting a job soon...
