Slacker!

I'm such a slacker!! I haven't written anything for a couple of months... Ok, so where do I start?? Well, my brother who reinlisted back into the Army came back for a couple of weeks after AIT and is still here until mid January... He's going to be recruiting while here and so that should be interesting for him...

My folks are in town for the Holidays and so it's going to be an interesting Christmas... They have not spent Christmas with my brother Scott for 9 years... Boy are they excited... My niece who is now 4 soon to be 5 in January is the most excited due to the fact that she gets whatever she wants from her Unlce "Squirrel" is what she calls him...

Weather has changed quite a bit since the last time I wrote in my blog... We had a cold spell for a couple of weeks at about -13 degrees and now it's in the early 20's so warmed up quite a bit... The roads are horrible to drive on, especially after the foot and a half of snow we got... It's totally time to go out sledding for sure...

Tomorrow is my quote "Friday" due to Christmas break... I'll be off for the next week and a half so I'm pretty stoked about that... It's time to go out and have some fun in the snow!!! I so would love to go out snowmachining, only if I had a snowmachine... =( I most definetely miss my home island...

Anyway, until next time and I hope it's not three months from now peace...

Time, Family, Friends, Life

Ok so it's been well over a minute since I last entered into thy blog... Time has been flying so very fast it's insane... Of course the cool air is here and fall weather is wonderful... I just don't like the fall rain that's for sure... I love the colors and I love the smell of the cool air, I just don't like the fact that winter is on it's way...

So it's October 16th, yesterday was one of my brother's birthday... He's 28 years of age, and I'd liek to tease him that he's getting I quote, "old"... I can say that because of course I'm much older than he is... I tried calling him yesterday to wish him a Happy Birthday but of course he was sleeping... He works up on the slope during the graveyard shift, so it's kind of hard to track him down...

One of my other brother's is also here in town with his wife and it's been a story I must say... I love the company of my family... We all yet still need to go out to dinner or something that is... Next week is AFN, Alaska Federation of Natives, and boy is there going to be hundreds if not thousands of natives from all over Alaska in town... That's when I like to stay home, although my father is coming in next week on Wednesday, so it'll be fantastic to spend some time with him... Wish my Momma, Niece and Baby Sis can come in, but money is the issue and it's too darn expensive to fly all the way over here from the Rock... At least I'll be with a couple of my family members...

Last weekend was a shocking weekend for me, only because I've done things I should have never done in the first place and yeah never again is what I'll say as I knock on wood... I had one of my cousin's stay over whom I call my Sister Sister Monkeylicious Mama, and we went out but didnt' get home until at least 5 in the afternoon of Saturday when we went out on Friday evening like at 1130... Disgusting I say... Oh well the past is the past...

Life has been wonderful although I really haven't been able to sleep well at night and been going to work half awake and half asleep... I'm not a morning person that's for sure... I'm just glad it's the weekend... I'm staying home and doing some major cleaning at my house or rather yet my brother's house whom I renting from... Also I think I may be going to visit my friend and coworker for a while since it's been well over a minute since I've been saying I'd go... Good gosh, I've had so much happen this month it's just nuts...

Halloween is coming up and I've got to get working on my costume... I love dressing up every year and so this year I'm thinking I'm going to be a Zombie Football Player... Think that'll be sweet I hope... So much going on so little time... As this month trots by one of my brother's is soon to be back into the military starting in November, and I know I'm going to dearly miss him so much... I know he's a phone call away... We do have total sibling rivalry and always have since we've been little tykes but that doesn't mean we dont' love each other... haha... Anyway, I totally hope everyone's weekend comes along wonderfully!!!

Good Times

Ok so yesterday I met up with some ladies to go out hiking, and must say I had a wonderful time!! We went to the Alyeska... This was the first time I ever met these ladies, and at first I thought it was an insane idea that I go for a hike with people I didn't know then again I started to think, "this would be totally better than staying home." So I decided to take my chances... My brother says before I left, "make sure these are ladies and not guys and that these ladies don't look like gang bangers!!" Ok so he was being a brother and love him for that... There were four of us ladies, Liz, who was the one that set this up, Misty, Kris and I... Also with us was one guy and Liz assured him, (Josh) that he wouldn't be the only guy but apparently he was... After the hike and some getting to know each other, we went over to the Chair Five Restaurant and had a couple slices of pizza and a drink... I enjoyed an outing with these ladies and think that more hikes like this or even outings like this would be fabulous...

Now it's Friday and I was just asked to if I was going to go out and have a nightlife tonight... My answer... "Nope, I'm staying in tonight." Reason for this is because I have a big day tomorrow at one of my cousin's (Regina) place in Wasilla... Her husband, Doug, is being deployed to Afghanistan next week on Friday and this was like totally last minute they found out about this... So Reggie is throwing a going away party for him and I will not miss it that's for sure!!

As for Sunday, my plans are to watch football ALL DAY!!! I became a football fanatic and it just became somewhat a disgusting thing but a great hobby I guess... I'm a huge Steelers Fan, mainly because of Troy Polamalu and Ben Roethlisberger... Ok so maybe I'm just a huge Pola and Big Ben fan... haha... Anyway that's what's set for me this weekend... Hopefully nothing changes...

Weekend

I think I'm getting a bit tired of a lot of certain things... I'm totally drained only because I didn't get enough sleep last night... I kept on waking up to little noises here and there and a couple of times it felt like a demon or something was trying to take my breath away... I didn't get out of bed until exactly 7:30 this AM and got ready for work with only brushing my teeth, washing my face and putting on a fresh pair of clothing even no shower wasn't taken... How gross is that!!! I got here to work right at 8 AM!!! Insane I know... I'm sipping on some coffee as I type and am thinking, "Wow I can actually crawl under my desk and fall asleep..." Bet if I did that no one would not even know was there or even miss me... My boss is out of town in Seattle, so yeah really I dont' think anyone will miss me...

So this weekend was a bit crazy... I ran errands and did things I shouldn't have done... I got upset with a vehicle in front of me because he wouldn't move so I decided to try and go around him, instead the flick face decided to take off just cause I was going around him and I bumped him... There was a loud roar of, "OOOOOOH!!!!" My heart skipped a beat, the guy didn't stop so I kept on going, next thing I knew he was behind me on so I stopped... There was a guy who went on the passenger's side and started yelling at me, I was like, "It's not my fault that I hit him, he was on the way when the the light was green and dind't move." A guy came on my side and I got heartfelt SCARED!!!! I bursted in tears and said I was sorry, to my novice he said, "I thought you was a dude, it's ok, don't cry. Go, just go ahead and hurry and go." I did so and have never experienced anything like that before in my life... yeah my heart skipped a beat for sure...

Ok on to the good... My brother "Son" came back from moose hunting on Sunday with no luck... Him and I spoke some words here and there... I think he's the reason why I kept on waking up... The dude was still up when I woke up this morning... I seen the garbage out by the road so yeah he was up and moving around like it was his daytime... Today is now Monday, and so new fresh start of the week... arr, thank God though for this new day... It's not sunny out but it sure is still quite beautiful out there because of the trees and all the plant life is changing to many colors... Beautiful is what I'll say... So I'm planning on going on a hike this coming Thursday and even on Saturday... We'll just have to see... I'm quite new to this group but I still would love to go on these hikes for sure... I'm not quite the tough cookie like a lot of these ladies but I can try right??? Anyway, I best stop here before I really go overboard and right about the PFD and all... haha...

Mid-September

Friday!! Ok so the weekend for me starts in a few minutes... No need to worry about work hopefully this weekend... Get to chillax with the bros hopefully if he doesn't decide to go out to the valley with his slope buddies, if he does than off to the Beach Equinox on Saturday...
It's totally beautiful out there... A little crisp but yet still beautiful... Fall is like my favorite time of the year even though it's a bit cooler than I'd like it... The colors of the trees and plants change to the most lovely colors... The smell is a bit different but it's not too hot or too cold...

Arr!! I've been missing my niece and my mother for a while now... I miss their company so much... My niece started pre-school and is loving it... I tease her when I'm talking to her on the phone telling her that I'm going out to go and pick her up so that she can live with me... Of course her answer is always a loud, "NO!!!" haha.... I love her to pieces...

As time rolls, work is slowly getting totally slow and time is moseying on... I know that's not a word but I'm still using it... I'm so ready to go on some trip somewhere... I tried hinting my boss I wanted to go with him to Seattle but thought of working tomorrow sucks, so decided not to go... I'd rather go for no work...

Oooh Oooh!! Today is my former bosses 41st birthday... He's such a punk... I wished him a happy birthday, he thanked me, then a few hours later said happy Friday... He's possibly going to go out and celebrate another year... I do miss him at times because he always had something for me to do at work and I got to go on trips all kinds of trips!!

So it's my turn to take one of the brother's out to dinner... I promised him and so I must keep that promise... arr, it's Friday so that means totally busy places everywhere!!! I hate waiting in lines and all that good stuff... blah... Anyway until next time... Peac Out!!

Money$$

Ok, so I'm trying to find a way to make extra cash... I've got something big that I'd like to come up soon and it's going to cost a little over 9,000.00 dollars!!! I know insane but I think that life would be much awesome after and if I get this done... Ya'll are possibly trying to figure out, "What the heck is she talking about?" Well I was born with Microtia, so figure it out from there... I've started a savings with 200.00 and hopefully it grows much bigger from there on... I would bet he happiest camper in this entire world... I've been talking with friends and family about this and getting small donations is even helping some... I know it'll take a while to get all of the money and also I've got to get money to make two trips down to Virginia from Alaska!! How insane is that!!! I can do it!!! I'm actually excited and trying to push myself and keep myself going for this... Anyway that's my deal for the day!!

Military

So today is the day my cousin Major W. Don gets sent out of state first to Georgia then to Afghanistan... Oh how I hate this time, because he's just not my cousin but also like one of my big brothers... Although he's been overseas multiple times it's still an uncomfortable feeling... I cannot imagine what his wife and children are going through right now... It's going to be hard I know that much... I also have another brother Scott K. who has just re-enlisted back into the Army... Why?? He says that's all he knows and he doesn't like civilian life... He should be taking off to Fort Sill, OK in November... He's been in the Army for 6 years before and went on two tours overseas which I did not like... My Mother was a wreck during those times, I'll admit I would shed tears some nights just thinking about him for he's one of my younger brother's and I love him dearly as I do all my kinfolk... Hearing the news on these men and women losing their lives while overseas has my heart broken and thinking of each mother, father, brother, sister, wife, son, daughter, and granparents on what they're going through... My heart goes out to all Military troops both men and women who are serving and protecting our country for freedom... Just to sit and have a cup of coffee on a typical day is what our troops fight for, FREEDOM!! The freedom to wake up in the morning and smell the coffee, to walk outside freely, to go out and bring your children to school, to do everyday things in life you possibly cannot do in other countries... My prayers, thoughts, and heart goes out to all troops overseas, here in the US and those that are being deployed... May the Good Lord Bless You All!!

Family

So it's September 8th... My folks and niece are leaving tomorrow back to "The Rock"... (Nunivak Island)... I really am not looking forward for them taking off... I am going to miss their company that's for sure... I think this year was the best State Fair I've ever been too... My Niece and I did everything from riding rides to playing games to taking photos and having our faces painted.... I sure am going to miss my little Munchkin... I wish that they can live here in the ANC so I'm just a hop and a skip away... I can handle my folks and family being here for a couple of weeks, but living with me is a totally different story... I need my privacy and need my freedom... Hopefully I'll be able to visit them in their hometown sometimes... Although it's a bit spendy I must say... A little over a thousand dollars to get to "The Rock" and back to ANC... That just sickens and saddens me... The economy sure has changed a lot since I was a little kiddo... Well that's my story for now... Until next time...

Niece

Time sure is flying!! My folks and niece are in town visiting for a couple of weeks, well now it's less than a week now, but I'm totally enjoying their company... My niece is my life and practically what makes my life go round... It seems time has been flying by since they've been here and that's the sad part... I really don't get to hang out with them until after work which leaves us at least 4 to 5 hours before bed to go out and have family time...

The Alaska state fair is going on right now out in Palmer and we've already gone out there once, but it was just to go and see The Beach Boys in concert... Hopefully this coming Friday I'll be able to take my niece out there so that we can have a niece-aunt time together... Also hope it isn't raining either... Let's just cross our fingers and hope it doesn't rain or our plans don't get ruined...

Life and Work

So... I'm a nervous wreck right now... I have a feeling that my job is on the line and I'm hating it right now... Higher Authority is my supervisor's office as I type this and noting that a couple weeks ago the Executive Director has said that, "Some People's job's are on the line right now, and we're going to have to cut people." Him saying that he was directly looking at me and so I know I'm possibly that "Some People"... I've been brining my personal belonging's home slowly knowing that I'm possibly going to be "next" in line to leave this corrupt office life... I just pray that I'm able to find another job and hopefully a better and more non-corrupt job environment...

Anyway enough about that, let's move on... So my folk's and niece are here in town visiting and that I'm totally looking forward to most definetely!!! My niece makes my world go round and always makes my heart brighten up whenever I'm with her... I love her to pieces and she knows it... Hopefully the weather cooperates so that I can take her out to the park sometimes and also to the state fair... She's bee saying she wants to go and watch a movie... So hopefully I'll be able to do that... Anyway until next time!!!

My First Entry

Let's see!! So here is my first blog... I'm not quite sure what to write then again I can possibly write about everything and not be able to stop... I won't go there today and just write a short little introduction...

So I'm originally from Nunivak Island, Alaska and must say I miss it dearly, then again I'm somewhat glad I'm not out there right now... Living costs out there are majorly expensive and just to fly out of there is insane!! Yes there are times I wish I can go and visit my family, but $1,200.00 dollars to go out there, I think I'll pass for now...

I currently reside in the largest city in Alaska which is Anchorage... I somewhat love it then again there are times like any other where I need to get out of here... Growing up in a nature filled environment and now living in the I quote city, is a major change for me... I won't lie though, I love the fast paced life out here, then again I'd rather be out in the boonies camping, fishing, hunting, or even just relaxing out there...

So that's just like a smidgen of where I'm from... Hope everyone is having a fabulous week and also enjoying the last part of your summer!!
