bright and early (well, before it even gets bright actually) in the morning, the spousal unit, the offspring and myself will be wheeling our way southeasterly to KY for a visit with the in-laws. It will be the first time in a year that they've seen the screamers...not by my hand, believe me...it's their own choice.
So here I am, less than three days after a harrowing flight schedule hitting the traveling trail once again. See, I love this...I could so be a nomad. Wonder if that is a paid profession?
Well....I will be able to at least be online there for a bit. Have to actually since I have class stuff to do anyway. Might drop a line or two telling you how miserable I am, lol.
Have a good long weekend all!!

Home Again, Home Again
Wow! That was by far the most interesting and fun week I've had in a long time. Quite informative as well.
I won't bore you with details, let's just say I had a lot of fun and plenty of time to think without interruption (which isn't necessarily always a good thing, lol). It gave me the chance to take a step back and have a good look at things (life, relationships, where we stand in general with home stuff, etc). I guess I am the kind of person that needs to physically step out of the situation to be able to assess it mentally.
In doing that, I've discovered that my life could be way worse (duh, knew that) and found ways to make myself feel useful. See that's what the problem was, I didn't feel useful. I don't 'work' so can't really bitch about money too much (but do). My 'job' isn't paid or very much appreciated for the most part, but it's mine. I've got at least another two years before I can/will even consider working outside the home again...it's only fair to the littlest screamer to be home with him like I was the biggest. So the online schooling stuff for me is a step in the right direction for feeling useful. It begins on Monday (25th)...I should probably be nervous but I'm not given that my first two classes are cherry easy.
So, in short, that lovely (and I do mean LOVELY) vacation gave me a slightly different perspective and I'm going to run with it...can't do much worse than I've done before and it's a learning opportunity (always good).
As for Portland, let's just say that someday...someday...I will be a Portlander permanent or at the very least an Oregon girl. Gorgeous city, stunning countryside, great people...heck, I didn't even mind the chilly winds and cold rains. If you've never been, go. Next year, jebus/allah/buddha providing, the whole lot of us are going...may the Dust help me!!

From the phone
Hi from Portland! Trip is going great, nice and relaxing.
Had a deja vu moment that I'll fill you in on when I get back...even though I feel like I should now. Heck, I'll do it now.
Remember a few months back when I wrote about a disturbing dream that had something to do with May? Well, it's May. Just like my dream, I am near mountians and someplace I've never been before. More odd is that yesterday in my wanderings of downtown Portland, I came across a small park that was familiar even though I'd never seen it before...while awake! This little park is the one from my dream...which weirds me out a little given I know what happened in my dream.
Micheal also knows, since he asked and I shared...whatcha think Micheal...should I be worried that I'm halfway across the country from home and the screamers?
In the meantime, I continue my wanderings of this gorgeous city.

Last Post....
from the home computer at least...until the 18th!!
For the safety and sanctity of my darling computer, I will be shutting her down and locking her up while I'm gone...little fingers tend to add extra hard drives that don't really exist and can't be erased when left to their own devices.
I have however learned how to post a full on post via my loverly phone...so I may be sweet and fill you in on a day or two of vacation. Or you can check in every once in a while on the Twitter thingy to the left...sure to be lots of updates there!
I won't be able to respond to comments, but will be able to read them via email (also on my super freakin' cool phone), so comment away when I post...if I post...nah, I'll post at least once, promise.
In the meantime, bag is packed up and dang if I'm not counting down the hours.
2 days
55 hours
3302 minutes
198166 seconds
Take your pick...they all point to the exact same time, lol.
