2017 – Day 112
See More: 2017 – Day 112Saturday, April 22, 2017 Tiago went biking with friends up the closed portion of Hwy. 20 up to Rainy Pass and I decided to drive over to Bridgeport and spend the day with my folks and we decided to driver over to Coulee Dam and have lunch at Molody (my mom’s favorite restaurant).
2017 – Day 86
See More: 2017 – Day 86Monday, March 27, 2017 This is how Boo and I spent our weekend – being lazy. Tiago played Xbox while I studied the slope intercept form and graphing equations for my college algebra course that I’m trying to wrap up in the next two weeks. College algebra (actually, any math course) has been my biggest stumbling block on my goal towards completing my BA in Business before my birthday this August 12th. I’ve decided that I need to study, study, study and fully comprehend the subject matter before moving onto the next subject, which currently is Cartesian Coordinates. While I understand some of […]
2017 – Day 78
See More: 2017 – Day 78Sunday, March 19, 2017 What a wonderful weekend. It started with meeting my folks for dinner at Mi Pueblo in Brewster. Last weekend, Tiago and I were in Seattle for the Scott Firefighter Stairclimb at the Columbia Tower Club, but before coming come Friday night, I stopped at Costco and got 20 boxes of flooring to do our family room and hallway, and yesterday, we pulled up the old carpet, trim and prepped the concrete with a moisture barrier. Next came the fun part – laying the new flooring. Is was all fun and games until Tiago got his shoe lace […]
2017 – Day 73
See More: 2017 – Day 73Tuesday, March 14, 2017 I ♥ my beard and I’ve found my spirit animal at last. This is my beard without any product. I had no idea that there’s quite a substantial “beard” care market. I already have beard balm and beard oil. Next, I’m thinking of getting an little beard straightening iron, but I need my bear to get a tad longer first. 😉 I wonder if I’m going to get completely obsessed with facial hair. I’ve always had some form of scruff, but I don’t think I’ve ever had anything this unwieldy before. I had a great time with my Boo and […]
2017 – Day 71
See More: 2017 – Day 71Sunday, March 12, 2017 Today’s the big day! Tiago and the other firefighters from OCFD #6 are at the Columbia Tower participating in the Scott Firefighter Stairclimb for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Here’s Tiago and Thor at the Columbia Tower. It’s been a whirlwind weekend. After getting off work last Friday at 6, I drove home through Wenatchee so I could stop and pick up another 20 boxes of flooring so we can replace the carpet in our family room with wood floors. I also found out that an old friend of mine, who I hadn’t seen in a coon […]
2017 – Day 68
See More: 2017 – Day 68Thursday, March 9, 2017 After my webcam mishap on Tuesday prevented me from taking my Macroeconomics assessment, I had to purchase a new external webcam and had to fashion a workaround in order to be able and take my assessment last night. Assessments at WGU are done by having a proctor watch you while you’re taking the online exam to ensure you’re not using any prohibited material (also known as cheating). Here was my solution. I ended up taping my new webcam onto the top of my broken one. The cam had to be elevated and able to rotate 360º so […]
2017 – Day 67
See More: 2017 – Day 67Wednesday, March 8, 2017 What a disappointing night. I had everything ready to take my assessment for Macroeconimics and was online with my proctor when, all of a sudden, my external webcam stopped working. After several unsuccessful attempts, it was clear that my WGU issued webcam was kaput, so I had to reschedule my assessment for today and then went to Walmart (I know) and bought a new external cam. Hopefully, this webcam meets all the requirements. The Moses Lake area got a lot of rain yesterday and when I woke up this morning at 3:30 AM the temperature was 36º. […]
2017 – Day 66
See More: 2017 – Day 66Tuesday, March 7, 2017 Boo finished installing the floor in our living and dining room and sent me this picture. I can’t believe it’s taken us so long to decide and rip out the carpet and I plan on stopping by Costco in Wenatchee on my way home from work this Friday to pick up another 20 boxes so we can do the family room downstairs. The time is almost upon us! This Sunday, March 12th, is the Scott Firefighter Stairclimb at the Columbia Tower in Seattle and my husband will once again climb 1,356 steps (69 floors) in full gear to […]
2017 – Day 65
See More: 2017 – Day 65“Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” …or so they say. 😉 Monday, March 6, 2017 And yet again I allowed the daily distractions of life to interfere with my keeping a journal. This is a habit that I’ve got to train myself to do everyday. What I notice about keeping a journal is that I am apt to get a LOT more done, especially in my studies and personal life. There’s something about stating an anticipated outcome and then working on achieving that outcome and then posting about that outcome. I think one way of looking at it is that these […]
2017- Day 47
See More: 2017- Day 47Thursday, February 16, 2017 Almost two weeks since my last post, ugh! I need to keep on top of my little blog; I find that it’s a great help in keeping me focused on my studying web development (which I’ve done none of over the course of the past two weeks) and it helps by gently nudging me to complete tasks. I remember an idiom that went something like You’ve got to pursue your dreams because your dreams are not going to pursue you. This turn of phrase is one of my favorites along with Q: How do you eat an […]
