Yesterday was certainly interesting. I got hired at Wing Spot and also got a 30-day move out notice. How crazy my life seems to me at times. Never a dull moment. I'll go through Orientation on the 15th and start work on the 28th. It feels so good to be back in the working force. It'll be exciting to start with a business from the very beginning. That'll be a first. I'm hoping to visit with Merki this weekend. Also I'll be looking for a new home. Monday I think I'll take the Amtrak up to Seattle to stay with Jeff for a couple days. See how we 'mesh' after all these years. When I talked to him last night he said he'd like to see me for a couple days. I mentioned to him that I was offered a job and that I also got a notice to move. Kind of "planting a seed" so to speak. If he wants to take it from there, then who knows? I'm sure alot depends on our visit. Right now I'm going to continue to look for a roommate and count on starting my new job. So, I'll stay with Jeff on monday & tuesday....then meet up with Connie from Fairbanks, Alaska on wednesday and thursday. She'll fly back thursday night and I'll plan on coming back to Portland sometime thursday, as well. That's the plan so far. Looking at my funds...it's a good thing that I got hired. I feel so stupid, but last week I lent Jon $200 ~ thinking we'd be cleaning houses by now. So far, no one has called and I think that was a short-lived idea. Now I'm running low on funds and he can't pay me back for awhile. Grrrr. When will I learn? Anyhoooo....I got a call from Nick this morning ~ I love that guy so dang much! He's my bestest friend! I miss him. He's got a cartlidge tear on his knee, so he hasn't played hockey in 5 weeks. I know how painful that is...same thing happened to me years ago. I still have bad knees. I never recooperated properly after my knee surgery. I had a bunch of torn cartlidge that they took out and my knee has never been the same since. Well, let's see...oh, I had a dream about Tony Stewart last night. It wasn't NASCAR related but on a more personal note. Not that personal, lol...can't be cheating on my Dale Jr.! It was a weird dream, I had gotten into Tony's home somehow with a couple friends and we ended up taking some stuff of his. I felt guilty and returned the stuff but I almost got caught. Strange dream indeed. The thing I took was a white, rabbit fur coat (like Tony would ever wear that!). Upon waking, I was rubbing my eyes and a spider was heading towards my face. I flew outta bed so fast!!! Jebus!!! I hate spiders! I went back later to look for it and I guess I killed it when I jumped up so fast, it was a goner when I found it. It would have drove me nuts if I wouldn't have found it. I probly wouldn't be able to sleep, thinking it was lurking somewhere. Alrighty then, that's the latest. I might venture out for awhile today, check things out. Maybe I'll just stay in and read. I hope everyone has a great weekend! I'll check back later. Love Ya, Trixie

I just got a call saying I'm hired at Wingstop! See how fast things change in my world?!! I'll post more later. Trixie

I'm using "D"s equipment to blast my favorite Queensryche cd's. He has huge amps and whatnot, so this place can really shake when I turn it up. He has the equivalent (sp) of a 64-track studio set up here in the living room. Soon it will be set up in my room, as "D" is turning it into his recording studio (part of his business). All of this means that I need to move. I was kind of expecting it. Funny how Jeff turned back into my life this week too. So, when I visit him next week, if he asks me to move in with him...I'll probly take him up on it. Who am I kidding, of course I will. Alot depends if he asks, mind you. Call it a gut instinct, but I always knew this wouldn't be a permanent situation, being "D"s roomie. We're parting friends and it's all good. I wish him well with his life and venture/business. I believe God puts us in peoples' lives for a reason. I haven't quite figured out why "D" and I met, but someday I'm sure I'll figure it out. Meanwhile, I have a month to chill and figure out what to do next, where to go. Things happen for a reason, that's my motto. OK...so that's the latest with me. Now that this has happened, I feel like I can take a deep breath and let it all sink in. Plan accordingly. For now, I'm going to crank my favorite tunes and rock out. It's funny cuz there's a huge, full-length mirror in the living room...so I think I'll jump up, put on my air guitar and dance around like a crazy woman! ROCK & ROLL!! Trixie

I've decided to post every Junior dream I have. Just for me. Anyway, the other night I dreamt that I was flying above Junior's race car while he was on the track. It was astral-like...and I just knew that he was thinking of me (silly I know)...but in my dream I asked Junior, in his head: "What are you thinking about?" and he thought in his head: "YOU", "I know you're flying above me, and I'm wondering if I can see you" was his reply. S-T-R-A-N-G-E 'eh?! He kept looking up and I told him to concentrate on his driving, then I woke up. He has the most awesome blue-est eyes! Love Ya Dale Junior! Trixie

If & When you're ever in Wal-Mart...pick up a candle called WARM APPLE PIE. MMMM ~ It smells sooo good!!!!! My absolute fave! Today was nice. I chatted online with Jeff in Seattle for awhile and then we talked on the phone. I'll probly take a train up there in the middle of next week to visit. First off, I plan on spending a couple of days with a sweetie I've called "Sissy" since 1987. We met way back when in Fairbanks, Alaska. We were even roommates for awhile (in North Pole, Alaska). I call her Mom.... my "MOM" (this is after I lost my adoptive Mom and before I met my biological Mom). Anyway, she'll be in Seattle for a couple days next week and I plan on seeing her and spending the night at the hotel with her. If all goes well, I'll visit with Jeff too. He wants me to spend some time with him too. I actually look forward to it. It's been about 5 years since I've seen either of them. To me, it will be wonderful to see people I love during this holiday season. Alrighty then ~ that's about it for now. I took a couple of those Zantrex 3's again today and holy cow, I was a cleaning fool! It seems like I take those diet pills every time I get ready to meet up with a guy huh? Oh how I wish I could take a couple diet pills and lose mass weight in a short amount of time!!! I keep forgetting how long it took me to gain this stupid weight. Grrrr. Oh well. I can ALWAYS lose weight. Ignorant people usually will be that way forever. *Note to self: Chin Up & keep telling myself that ~ lol! OK Streamers...how's everyone doing? Great I hope! Hey Lucy....Chey....What's up girlfriends??? I can always count on Miss Lou and Biggie to answer back accordingly (giggle giggle). LOVE Y'ALL!!! Trixster
