maybe i'm just missing travel
A few months ago, in the middle of the hot Texas summer I was really missing Vancouver, a gorgeous place that I've only visited once, but one of those places I could see myself living in if I won the lottery.

     

Now for some reason, I'm really missing Seattle and Bainbridge Island where a good friend lived -- until she moved to frakking Alaska last June. Unless I had some sort of business in Seattle, it's not likely I'll be going back there, but maybe one day. Maybe one day if I find me a man and we go traveling. There's a fantastic restaurant in the Public Market called Steelhead Diner. Went there both trips up there and each time we got an awesome table that gave a wonderful view of the Market and Puget Sound beyond. The little island my friend lived on for a while was very picturesque. To live there and work in Seattle as she did would be a pain but as a visitor it was so cool to take the ferry back and forth from the city to this quaint place. Despite the rain, the trip to Forks and La Push was very cool, too. With New Moon coming out, it'll be interesting to see if I recognize anything, but I don't think they really filmed there. (I think they filmed in British Columbia.)

   

I was also thinking it's been a couple of years since I went to Chicago. Really liked it, too. That was for work and I got to run around on my own a bit, and with my 1st gay husband (who was my Vancouver companion) a bit. It was winter both times and cold as frak and it was really only downtown I got to explore but it was pretty in a totally different way. (Somehow, I didn't take too many pics. Guess I was inside most of the time for the cold and my nighttime touring with J wasn't conducive to picture-taking.)

   

I really got around in '07 and '08. It's been seven months that I went to Seattle and La Push but I guess I could really use a trip. It sounds stupid since it's not like I've been working 12 hours a day since that time, but all the stress and worry add up. It would be nice to get away somewhere. Too bad that ain't gonna happen anytime soon. Just reminiscing, I guess.
 
 
   
 

Feeling Bullish
I went to the Chicago Bulls game yesterday...and they WON!  Really close game, but the Bulls eeked it out by 3 points against the Charlotte Bobcats.  For whatever reason I was feeling pretty tired by the time the game was over, so I ended up just going home.  Lame, I know.  Must be getting old.  Hopefully I'm not getting sick.  This weather is really amazing...nearly 70 degrees in November?  Ridiculous and amazing.



 
 
 

   
Digging Into A Deeper Hole
I really hate when the Cubs lose.  Especially when they lose to the Cardinals.  Now we're 11 games behind them in the standings, and I just don't think it's possible to catch up.  Another disappointing season, to be sure.  Stupid curse.


 
 
   
 

(no subject)
So today, i thought I would write about something fun..instead of my depression. Last week and the week before, Jonathan's younger brother came to visit us. For the first week that he was here, he got to stay at mine and jonathan's apartment. It was fun to have him here, and I know that Jonathan was happy to see him. But I felt a little bad, cuz we live in a college town and there really isn't a whole lot of fun stuff for a 14-year-old to do around here.

The following week, we went back home to the Schaumburg area so that he could see the rest of his family. Well, they were in Schaumburg, I was in Cary. I had each of my days planned out, and it was great!! :) On Monday, I got to hang out with Dani. And it was soooo wonderful to see her! I hadn't seen her in months. We just went to dinner and talked. It was good to talk to someone that makes me want to laugh about the craziness going on in my life.

On Tuesday, Jonathan and I took his brother, Alex, to Chicago. We went to the SEARS tower (I refuse to call it the Willis Tower...blah!). And it was reeeeally cool! I've been there a hundred times, but now they have the ledge...it was so scary! lol. But I sat down on it!


scary, isn't it???? I was like "baby, hurry up and take the picture!!!" lol. and yeah, there's a little boobage...eek!!!! anywayz, then we went and saw the bean!! i love the bean! :)


isn't it cool?? :) so yeah, we had a fun day downtown. And then we went back to the suburbs and had dinner with Jonathan's grandparents. I had something poking me in the throat the whole night, so jonathan went down my throat with tweezers, and ended up pulling whatever it was out...something from pizza we had earlier..but it was funny. cuz it was hurting so bad, jonathan's grandpa wanted to take me to the hospital lol. it was definitely an eventful day.

on wednesday, I spent the day with my mom. We went to see Chrys and Madisyn.



Maddy is getting sooo big. And she's absolutely adorable! It was great to see them though, and when Phil got off work, we all went to dinner! :)

On Thursday, I had a girl's night with my bff's! :) That was the night I was talking about, where I got a glimpse of the girl I used to be. I was laughing, being goofy, and just being the old Tasha that I used to be. I had soooo much fun! :)


Katie, Jess, Me, and Trina :-)
