2010

Ok so here I am once again, exactly two weeks later... My folks, sis and niece are leaving today back to their home island... I brought them out to the airport and I must say I held my tears until I took off... I was sad to see them depart and am going to miss th noise of my niece and her little pitter patters running around in my condo... I'm also going to miss her constant questions and her presence... She's my little angel that girl... It just brings tears to my eyes right now... My baby sister, whom is at least two inches taller than I and towers over me, I am also going to miss her company... We never really got to start knowing each other until a few years back... We have gal talks and so forth, all which I wish I had when I was in higschool... Being 15 years older then she, is quite the difference, although we have our similarities... My folks, I'm going to miss asking a lot of questions like their grandaughter... As they get older, the seeing of them being like children is cute... My Ma' is my everything as well as my Pa'... Hopefully I'll be able to see them soon... The cost of airfare to our home island isn't cheap so it'll possibly be a while... My brother Scott is back for a few more days then he's off to Fort Worth, Texas... Oh how I'll most definetely miss him also... My condo is going to be an empty sanctuary for who knows how long... That gives me time to get rid of things that I don't need and so forth... I sure can't wait until my sis in law gets her plants... I think they're just on the way... Anyway, until next time, hope y'all had a wonderful and happy new year 2010!!

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!!
