I guess the best place to begin is that I'm home in Oregon. We got back into town Tuesday afternoon despite getting held up by a really horrid accident in Klamath Falls. My mom was in charge of decorations for a friends wedding on Saturday so basically all the unpacking that got done was me digging through boxes trying to find my dress for the wedding. Wed and Thursday was spent driving around town trying to find the right color blue but it's summer and her blue is a winter color so we didn't find the right blue. Her colors were supposed to be navy blue, sliver and ivory but basically her colors were ivory and silver with a tiny bit of blue. The one thing I did learn is that if you're a DIY bride in Bend the choices for decorations and flowers SUCK.

I slept in today since I was go, go, go all last week. Now I have to help clean up a bit before I start unpacking. I have no idea where to begin. Mimi now lives in my room because she and Annee (my mom's mini dauchsie) do not get along. They're first meeting resulted in Mimi popping Annee with Annee yelping in distain. Hopefully, they will get used to each other but only if Annee allows Mimi to feel things out on her own terms.

I now have two aquariums. I guess when my mom asked our friend, Chris (the bride mentined above),  to clean my aquarium, she used too much of the buggies that live in the undergravel filter. When this happens, the buggies don't have enough waste to break down so they end up producing their own food source - alge. To get rid of this problem, I have to tear the aquarium down and start over but I have three fish that would be without a home for a week so I bought a second smaller 10 gallon aquarium for them to live until I fix my 30 gallon aquarium. I set up the new aquarium before we left for the wedding but I thought I had a air pump and I don't so I have to make another trip to Petco to get one before I can transfer the fish. Oh and my placaustmas is HUGE. He looks like a sea monster! But he has had a lot of room to grow since most of my fish died or committed haray caray.

I have so much to do and don't know where to start. First things first - getting my car running! The battery is dead so I have to attach a battery charger to it and see if that will help or if I need to buy a new one. Then, I have to fix my aquarium, unpack the boxes that have taken over the living room and entry way, make appointments with COCC, EOU, BendFilm, the chiropractor, and see about finding a new doctor. *bigsigh*

Also a big shout out to my new LJ friends lorilann just_chiara and hopelessfangirl  Fellow Supernatural and Friday Night Lights fans!

That's all for now. Promise to post more when things settle down a bit. Hope everyone is doing well and having a good beginning to the summer. It's been raining and hailing here but I just have to remind myself that it's good for my grandpa's crops. Now I'm off to clean up the kitchen a bit - take out the garbage and put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Oh dishwasher! How I have missed you!       

I just want to post quickly to let ya'll know that starting tommorrw I'll be offline for a couple days while I'm moving back to Oregon. I'm a bit stressed especially since things don't seem to be going very smoothly. U-Haul got my reservation screwed up so, fingers crossed, I'll have a truck reserved for me tomorrow. Then, Time Warner Cable got my appointment time wrong for them to pick up the equipment but they didn't mind me saying "Don't come til 3." If these faux pas are any indication of how smoothly the move is going to go... I just may have to rip my hair out. Hopefully, the weather is good with no rain or extreme heat.

 I know I've said that as soon as I finish my degree that I'll move back to LA but a friend mentioned checking out Austin, Texas so I've been researching and seriously thinking about moving there after I'm done with school. The rent is so much more affordable than LA and even cheaper than rent in Bend. Plus I've been wanting to move to Texas for years now and almost did six years ago but am kinda glad I didn't since Hurricane Katrina happened. I would have been living in the Galveston area. So , happy thoughts and fingers crossed that, when the time comes, I'll be able to find a good job in my field. My mom has been researching Austin too and says that it's one of the places that hasn't been effected by the economy. Here's to two more years to get me where I need to go.

Plus, I'm very glad I decided to move home. I got an email today from Los Angeles City College saying that they cancelled the eight week summer session. If I had stayed, I would have been up a creek without a paddle because I would have needed to take classes this summer and four classes in four weeks would have not been a good idea. Now I can just enjoy travelling this summer and visiting with friends and family.

Also, I have my last final on Monday so fingers crossed and happy thoughts that I do well. It's for my literature class.

Hope ya'll have a good weekend and good start to next week. I'll post again once I get home and a bit settled which will be after our friends wedding next Saturday.
