So... I haven't done a post in .... Forever... because I really have no news to update you all with!
Life on the west coast SUCKS it is cold, rainy & just plain crappy! I don't know if I can last 1 1/2 more years!!! Plus (and you all know that this is the kicker for me) there is NO good food here!!!! I would KILL for a freakin' pizza that does not come from Domino's!
Well... other than that there's nothing much going on here") Hope you enjoyed the update!

Columbus Day
I know... I know... I have been a REALLY bad blogger lately!!! Unfortunately there's just not much to tell out here on this coast right now:(
So I gave myself a short week this week:) I took yesterday & today off!!! Yesterday because Janie & Pete came to visit!!! Yipppy!! We had a great afternoon... It was nice to just have some east coasties to chat w/! I of course took absolutely NO pictures... I'm really slacking in that department as well! I even leave the camera out on one of the side tables in the living room, I mean how much easier access could you get???
So today I've got some errands to run & I'm getting my hair did... so maybe if I remember ... there will be photos taken of that:)

Good Friday
This has been the week from he double hockey sticks:) (for those of you confused con-fussed ~ that would be LUKE~ that would be hell). But when I weighed myself this am (as in morning ~Luke again~) it made it a wonderful day... not only is it the end of the week & I have the whole weekend off & to myself (not that I won't miss Luke terribly).
Anywho... I have lost 10 POUNDS in 2 MONTHS:) Yippee skippy:) I weigh what I weighed 2 years ago (that would be on my wedding day) Only 5 more to go:) Oh happy day!!!

Where have we been?
Luke is in Seattle for the week doing "Seafair" which is like a blessing of the fleet... big parades & oceany stuff going on. As for me... I have a new job!!! it's a good one so far. TONS to do... I'm working in the office of a B&B/vacation rentals for a highly disorganized Realtor!!! i've been on the go go since day 1! Then I go straight to DB for the evening... poor Angie has been cooped up:( She's had a trip to the doggie park (first trip) recently so that was fun for her... we just have to let her out & about when we are home:)
Hmmm.... I think that covers the Marland life @ this point in time:)

Yesterday
Was... the worst day eva!!! Since the lavender festival is going on in Sequim (oh so much fun) everyone & their mama is in Sequim to see the stupid purple flower, eat the stupid purple flower, and buy ANYTHING with the stupid purple flower on it!
So in addition to all the stupid purple flower people we lose power.... make that the entire city of Sequim loses power because (and this is the best part) they (who "they" are I don't know but I think they may be stupider ~ i know that's not a word but it seems fitting here~ than the stupid purple flower) but they tried to send more power to the street fair & killed a transformer so the entire city lost power. so the good thing to happen out of all of this, i go to go home early. the bad, very oh so bad, thing to happen was that i got out @ 4:30 on a friday afternoon when there's normally traffic - tripled by the stupid purple flower festival and the fact that the traffic lights are out. so my normal horrible 30min. drive now turned into a really horrible 50min.! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Then i came home to a puppy who was locked up all day in her little room... she was very barky, very energized & extremely annoying! So there you have it... my day from HELL:) hope you all have a better weekend then me:)

i'm baaaacccckkkkk
So I'm back to WA... after a looooonnnnngg crappy flight(s).... so my wonderful darling husband set up my flight schedule & silly me didn't really look @ it until arriving @ the airport! so here's a little recap of my day yesterday
7:30am ec (east coast time ... 3 hours ahead of west coast time) wake up
9:15am & again @ 9:20am (we forgot something) leave wakefield RI
11:00 get to the airport with a painfully full bladder (got to love that:)) oh ya we got stuck in traffic on the way to Boston
11:05 run as fast as possible to the nearest potty w/ all luggage in tow
11:10 get in line... for a loooooonnnnngggg fricken time... decide while i'm waiting i'll check out my flight info i mean come on... my flight only leaves in 1hr1omins. i have pleanty of time:) so I look ... really look @ my flight info. and notice i'm flying into laguardia & leaving to seattle out of JFK... hmmmm... are they the same??? i think not...
11:15 call luke (7:15am in WA for those of you following along here) on the verge of tears w/ a very bad feeling in the pit of my stomach...
11:20 tears flowing down my face while the guy behind me is looking @ me w/ a perplexed look on his face:) while luke tells me he's going to call on my flight stuff
11:35ish get up to the counter & give her my flight info. blah blah blah... she says you know you're changing airports in NY... i say yes (holding in tears god... i'm such a baby) and ask her what i do when i get there... she tells me i have to get my bags & a shuttle to JFk ... ok tears again... she starts typing away while i'm swiping @ my eyes... she looks at me and says i can't get you on the 12:10 flight to JFK because it's too full & there are 6 bags that are 70lbs... i look over at my own 70lb bag:) hehehe oopppss:) i say thanks for trying ....
11:50 (have to be @ my gate by 12) i get in the security line.... there's no line @ the end and the lady is waving me over so i go... the security lady behind me starts saying maam... & i turn around to look @ her and she keeps saying it so she must not be talking to me right? i get to the xray place take off shoes etc. & start to go through when she comes running after me & yells at me for not stopping ... great i'm sooo not going to make my flight... she checks my ticket & huffs off... WHATEVER!!!!!!
11:54 get through the security check & run to my gate to find that my flight has been delayed 1/2 hr... nice of someone to let me know:)
1pm get on the plane
2:35 get off the plane @ laguardia & try to find my bags... not so easy when there isn't any flight #'s posted on any screens:) i finally ask someone @ 3pm & find my bags... then i run to transportation center & find out that the next shuttle leaves @ 4 (my flight is @ 5:35 @ JFK) I get a taxi instead & make it there by 4:30
4:35 in line to check my bags... ask the guy in front of my what he's waiting for... checking in, bags etc. got the lovely NY attitude back:)
4:45 bags checked in & off to my flight... no more worries except my 6hr flight to Seattle (yuck)
8:35 (west coast time ... 11:30 east cost time) i land... very tired & grumpy:)
9:20 we park & have dinner
10:55 get the ferry
1:05 am... we get home... oh what a day!!!!!!!!!! but now i'm home sweet home... missing RI already but it's good to be home... angie is so stinkin' cute & she's calmed down a bit:) I'll be posting pics of her soon:)
