I'm here, and I'm hot!!!

Trust me, that's not "hot" in a good way.

I knew it was going to be hot when I drove over here, (newport to spokane), but I would've thought that somewhere along the columbia gorge - that's full of WATER - that some breezes might come off of it and cool down the corridor a little.

I was SO wrong.

I even stopped at Multomah Falls (had to use the facilities - which I didn't expect to be as much of a tourist stop...I just needed to pee)...and it was so hot there I had to catch my breath!

I've been spoiled at the coast. If it hits 80 degrees, we're all complaining of heat. I had forgotten what heat was like! I've even been to Texas in the middle of one of their hottest summers (well, up until that time in 1994)...but I'm suprised that you can forget that kind of horrid discomfort!

All I can think is "how am I going to try to look cute if my face is melting off!?"

If you want to know how hot it is, look up weather and spokane washington online. I think it's actually hotter in Portland right now, but anywhere is ruddy hot if it's over 75 degrees for me!!!

Sad News - Unhappy feelings

On Tuesday, February 2nd, my dog was put to sleep. She meant a lot to me, and I don't think it was her time. I don't know who reads this blog, if anyone, so I'm going to vent here. If I hurt your feelings, I'm sorry, but I'm pretty emotional about it. Uta just turned 15 in October 2009, and she was old, yes...but was it her time? Absolutely not. This video was taken just about 45 minutes before she was taken to the vet. Sure she was old, but she still liked to go out and wander around, walking with the cat, smelling all the things, etc. Boots used to go with us on our walks....no matter how short or long they were. I wasn't allowed to go with Uta to the vet. I had to say goodbye to my dog (technically my Moms dog, but Uta and I knew better) before they left. Mom said "I can't deal with YOU AND Uta AND me in the room!" What a load. I felt like I had let Uta down by not being there to let her know I wasn't abandoning her. Mom and Louise

Wednesday again...

It's wednesday again....and I'm supposed to be going to sleep in a few hours (around 1pm) to get ready for this week's shifts... It's always difficult to get a full 8 hours on my "monday"...but I try. Tonight's work - not work-related - will be putting the background and design touches onto the "rough sketch" for the new painting on the car. I'm hoping to have it done by July 29th - before I go to Spokane. If I don't, I'm not going to stress about it. I still have a huge list of other projects I have to work on - namely an ELEPHANT that will be finished by the time I travel to Seattle in the middle of September. I hope all's well with everyone [reading this], and enjoy the sunny day! :o)en
