The Circus Is Leaving Town

I've been missing lately because of a huge change happening really soon. My family and I are moving. My lovely hubby got the call from his boss that we are to be in Portland, OR as of the first of August. Needless to say this is causing all sorts of drama around here. So if you don't hear from me for a while its all because I am going insane.

4th Time Around

Alright. Yes, I know I've gone MIA over the past month. I have a very good reason though.

No, I'm not telling just yet.

My lovely hubby took a new job. Just a few weeks after taking the job, rumors are flying around that he may get transferred to Portland. We looked at the paperwork he signed and sure enough he was hired by the Portland plant. He works at the Monroe, WA plant right now. The idea doesn't bug me much that we might move to Portland. I've liked what I've seen of the city so far. I'm just real sick of moving. Since I have been with Jaime, we seem to move every 2 years. We have been together for about 14 years and if this move to Portland happens it will be the 7th move.

Anyway, I just have to wait and see what happens. No use worrying about it now.

I have bigger things to keep me busy. For those who know me they may have guessed from the title of this blog yes I am pregnant again. That's why I've been missing as of late. It is hard to type when you are either passed out or running to the bathroom every 10 min.

I went to ECCC . I had fun. My hubby did not. I really don't get why he goes to these things when he has such a horrible time. I'll try to post pictures later

Day Tripper

I've noticed something lately. I go to Portland a lot. I am on my way there in a few minutes. The Portland Comic Book Show is today. So of course I am heading down there. My hubby is only going so he can go to Buffalo Wild Wings. Portland is the closest one to us.

We couldn't get a babysitter so all three kids are going with us. This should be fun.

I'll post later with pictures.

Endless

I have had a very busy weekend. Not all of it has been fun.

To start off, Pam had a birthday party to go to at the mall. (insert screams of horror here) The mall on a Saturday afternoon is hell. No joke. The party was at Build A Bear. I almost made a groundhog for myself. It just looked too cute. After the party we had to go get her dad and brother.

Aaron had a basketball game I missed due to the party going over. Aaron’s team lost, by a lot. They still haven't won a game this season. Aaron doesn't seem to care.

Then I went to Rosa Allred's baby shower. That was really fun. I normally hate baby showers, but this one didn't have stupid baby games. I even walked out of it with a nice bag of goodies.

When I arrived home, Jaime decided he was going to take me out to dinner and a movie. This I like. I really wasn't in the mood to cook dinner after all the running around and cake. We went to Red Lobster and Best Buy. I love Best Buy. I bought a few things I really shouldn't have, but oh well.

We ended up seeing The Eye. I wish we would have seen something else. Jaime and I both have a thing for Jessica Alba. That’s why we saw it.

The movie is about Sydney(Alba) a blind violinist. She is given the chance to see again after undergoing a corneal transplant. While Sydney adjusts to her surroundings, she is terrorized by visions of death. With the help of a reluctant doctor, Sydney sets out to discover whose eyes she has received and what the visions are trying to tell her.

The movie was OK. I just wish I would have waited for it to come out on video. The acting was not very good, everyone seemed bored or very tired. Also the story took forever to get moving. This was a remake of the Hong Kong film "Jian Gui". I am planning on watching Jian Gui.

To the Winter

People around here are just plain stupid. You get a little bit of snow and they all freak out.

I had a busy day of cleaning and running around today. Not a lot accomplished as far as writing goes. I am hoping to get some done tonight. But I doubt that will happen.

Blue Jean

I am too busy today. Aaron has Choir practice and a basketball game. I will be running around all day.


I did go and buy myself a few pairs of jeans. I am planning on getting rid of the ones that don't fit me this weekend.

Goodnight

Sundays kill me sometimes. We started at a new earlier time at church. I was completely messed up. Add to that a friend coming over after church and a Cub Scout Committee meeting and my Sunday sucks.


My friend Heather read my little blue journal. It has a ton of random thoughts and story parts in it. She liked what she read and wants to see more of my writing. We where misbehaving in Sunday school.

Anyway, I am planning to get some more writing done tonight. Other than that, I am tired.

Why Do Today What You Can Put Off Until Tomorrow?

I am completely exhausted. It is my own fault though, I decided to take the kids to the Seattle Aquarium. We took the bus down which is a bit of an adventure with three kids and a stroller. I am nice though. I take the small umbrella stroller that folds up really small when I use the bus. See I do think of others. Then we had to walk from Pikes Place Market down to the Aquarium. It isn't far, just a hassle with all the stuff we need to take with us. We all had a great time looking at all the pretty fish. The bus ride back was hell. I completely forgot about the Seahawks game today. The bus was overfull. Try standing on the step with a two year old that is trying and succeeding to wander around the bus. It is not fun.


The faimly then decided we needed to go to Best Buy. I bought a couple of cds and 2 SingStar games. We now have all four. I have really started to love these games. We then went to the comic store. I really didn't need to go but I got a short box to try to orginaze the stuff I have gotten recently.


Next was a trip to Fred Meyer. And finally I made it home. I just want to go to bed. It won't happen. I still need to write some today.

Wake Up

I have been very sick the past few days. And I have been very busy as well. So there.

I have been writing but the comic seems to have taken a backseat to this quirky little story that has driven me mad the past week. I was trying to avoid it and finish the comic but the story seems persistent. It won.

I went site seeing in Seattle since I blogged here last. Having an out of town friend here has helped me get out and see what the city has to offer.

Someone Says

I drove down to the show. It was my first time in Portland and I had a great time. The show was small but still fun. I ran into Brian. I swear we are stalking each other. The only other explanation is we just like the same stuff. I got some stuff signed and even bought a few things.

I'll post a few photos once I get them loaded.

I Drive Myself Crazy

Hi there. Well, I was able to get a little more done on my writing last night. It is moving along pretty good. I've got most of the dialogue done. Now, I just need to go back and fill in the rest. I call that progress. I am going to try and work some more today so I can finish up the mini comic. I really want to get some art done on this thing, but I need to take it one step at a time.

There was something I was going to do this weekend. But for the life of me I can't remember. I normally write things down so I don't forget. For some reason if I did write it down I lost it somewhere. I hope it wasn't something important. Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually.

Well That Was Easy

Not really but, OK. I am still trying to get my computer working right. I hate this thing sometimes. I swear the thing wants to make my life harder. I had to wipe the hard drive and now I am working on installing all the crap back on the damn thing. My writing folder is gone. I was smart enough to have backed it up.

I am planning on working on my silly little comic this week. Really I am. I have a friend who wants to do the art. He keeps dropping hints. It is kinda cute in an annoying sort of way. He is really good so I am hoping to get a few pages to him soon. I am thinking I might do a mini comic out of the beginning of what I have scripted. It just doesn't really fit with the story but I love it. So hopefully I'll have something to show here soon.

The Trick Is to Keep Breathing

I've been gone for a while due to issues that concern my family. I'm still working through these and I hope to be fully back in a little while.

I have had a lot happen in a short amount of time and I am just now getting it together. So of course news comes today that a friend of mine lost his leg in a car accident. I'll post more when I get more info.

Let me give you a quick recap of the month I've had since my last post. Here it goes.....

My baby (OK, He's almost 3) had surgery last week, my husband and I are off and on so much my head hurts, my sister has been in and out of the hospital, my great nephew was hit by a car while riding his bike, a niece is missing , a best friend and her daughter have gone missing as well and then today I find out that a friend was hit by a car trying to run across the highway. Knowing my friend, I am thinking beer was involved somehow.

This is why I have gotten nothing done on my comic and why I've been gone.

I am seriously thinking of running away to someplace warm and sandy.

I Like It

I am trying very hard to be good. I really need to get some house work done. But I really don't want to do anything right now. A nice long nap sounds wonderful. I am still trying to work on my comic. I just kinda run out of time at the end of the day. I really need to organise my time better. Anyway that is all for now in the maryverse. I will try to keep you all updated as best as I can.

So Why So Sad

OK. I know it has been awhile. I have been very busy lately and I really didn't want to bore you with mommy stuff. I just finished up 2 more pages of my story. And I am very pleased with how it is coming along. I hope to have something to put up here as soon as I can get some art done for the first bit of it.

I watched this the other day. I think I may be addicted to her. Darn. What ever will I do?
