Not really sure...

So I am not really sure who reads my blog anymore. I haven't heard from anyone since I started blogging again- so if you're stopping by please drop me a comment to say hello. I would like to think that my words aren't just drifting through the netherregions of the internet all by themselves, lol.


The chaos of Anchorage has subsided a bit. Due to my immense talent of remaining positive I am happy. I have almost completed the unpacking/moving in stage. The kitchen table still has a buttload of stuff on it, but in comparison to the clusterfest that was our living room- I can at least breathe easier now (and not worry about my dogs getting into things they shouldn't!).

I'm kinda sad, though, because ALL our windows and our sliding glass door don't have screens. Why am I sad about this? I am a fresh-air-fanatic and because there are so many, many, many, mesquitoes up here (not yet, but eventually) I can't get my fresh air without applying deet from head to toe even though I'm not leaving the apartment! heh.

Also, I have gone from an outdoor-on-my-feet-all-day job to a sit-on-my-butt-inside job. It's weird. I feel like I am gaining weight and getting mushier with every passing minute (now, now... I didn't say "getting fat" so don't assume that's what I meant). There's a little work-out place attached to the GOOD apartments but that means I would have to go over there early and all that stuff... which also means it's not happening. I'm a little too lazy. I know that forfeits all my rights to complain about the impending doom of extra pounds, but I'm not terribly worried about it. Just... blabbering I guess....

Woo. Anyway.

The new puppy is doing so great!! I couldn't have asked for a better lil shiht than JubJub. The best thing about him is when I pick him up he completely relaxes so I can make him dance or play with his ears and he doesn't care. I'm evil :).

I guess that is all for now. It's kinda chilly so I am going to turn the heat up and snuggle on the couch until Matt gets off work.

Peace~!

Photos and stufff....

Ok, just photos... with more to come...

I am working on organizing them. Most of them need some dire editing, but at the same time I like them raw. Most of them were taken through my windshield so it adds a little flavor.

They are posted on my flikr site, with a link on the right side of this here bloggadoo's layout.

Peace!

No Sarah Palin sightings yet- I will let y'all know when I get to witness the great stupidity in person.

Anchorage

Wet, light, and cold.... so far :)

The apartments are really nice, and all of my co-workers are cool. My pups are happy just to be out of the truck, but despite that- it was an awesome trip. I have many, many, many pictures to post on flikr.

Everyone did great on the drive. It was my first time going to another country, and I am glad the transition went smoothly, hehe. We spent about an hour in Canadian customs with our trailer being midly searched (they just opened the back looked in, then went through my purse and stuff) and about two minutes in US customs. I was glad to be back on our soil. We didn't even have to get out of our truck, lol...

"Do your dogs have their shots?" Asks the older US border patrol gentleman through the window.

"Yes, would you like to see their papers?"

::pause:: "Nah.... I believe you. Have a safe trip, oh and you might wanna sign your passport there Virginia...."

We laughed and drove off. That easy. I think it's a requirement to not have a sense of humor if you work in Canadian customs. Granted, I have never been through any other customs so maybe it's just how all Americans are treated?

Anyhoo... I have the internet now so I can once again chat online, send pictures, and all that wonderful goodiness. Sorry it's been a couple months since I have been connected to some of you. I miss everyone, and I think about you guys all the time.

To those of you who are sticking it out, and riding through my virtual nonexistence- THANK YOU!!!

Until we meet again,
Virginia

Washington

We made it to Washington... not quite to Canada yet.

It's been a super fun trip so far :) Of course! I've met assorted Deason family members, and have bonded with our new puppy Jubjub. Who says long road trips can't be super-oober fun?

It's time to watch Stardust, then get some sleep. Night all....

I will write again in Alaska (seeing as I probably won't have internet on the awesomeness that is the Alaska highway)... Many many pictures to come on flikr and stuff.

Thanks for tuning in, sorry for the random-lots-of-time-in-between-posts.

Adventure...

Being without internet certainly has its advantages in daily activities, yet once I hop back online for a limited amount of time I feel so rushed, and like I can't connect the way I am supposed to. Hehe.


I feel as though my dearest friends have been left out, seeing as I hate talking on the phone and the best ways to communicate with me are: in person, text, or email.


Rrrrright.


So, Matt, Vinciepup, and I are going to Anchorage, Alaska for the summer to work (and experience). I am so freakin' excited. The trip up and down itself is going to be of epic proportions.

Needless to say- it's going to be awesome.

If anyone of you has ever wanted to visit Alaska now you have an excuse (and a couch to crash on).

Miss you guys.
I'm outty.

Washington, DC

....maybe?

Byebye Grandma....

You are missed. You are loved.


Here I come Missouri.
