home for the holidays....maybe longer, grrr

well i just got home. after a fun time in washington, again. ha
well i'm still working on getting a job, had a really great interview a couple weeks ago with a brewery near seattle but ended up not working out, was really exciting though going through the process. ready for the next one!
i officially moved out of my place in lafayette this afternoon... kind of glad to leave, really bad cats there... pooping all over the place and not to mention i was allergic, about the worst place i could have chose but i was desperate.
have been spending the greater part of the last month staying with megan and dan, just across the sound from seattle. beginning of the month we went snowboarding at mt baker and had a blast until they kicked everyone off the mountain because of a blizzard. well it was a great time until i ended up almost killing myself, seriously just before i got to the parking lot to leave. so there were really big gusts of wind that were blowing all the powder up and it blinded you until they died down...couldn't even see 10 feet in front of you. well i was going around a corner and bam! lights out... i followed the guy in front of me, who i could hardly see, but we both ended up falling off the edge into chest deep snow... i didn't know what to do... we both managed to wiggle out and crawl to safety but it was scary at first, we could have easily been lost from sight. then we had to dig the car out of the parking lot and slide down the mountain to get home. next day it rained like i have never seen, biblical proportions. sure you saw it on the news... i was right in the middle of it. was actually stuck for about a week while the interstate was underwater, the detour was about 4 extra hours. but i was in no hurry. i also made it over to seattle a couple times, had a few fun nights on the town (saw IMAX Beowulf in 3D, OMG it was amazing) and was lucky enough to hang out with julie a couple nights... she's awesome! i'm so glad we worked the harvest together and became so close, become kindred spirits in my mind, and lately shes kind of a my life coach too, she was kind of in the same situation last year... & has a great philosophy on life. helping me get over trying so hard to find happiness... to just enjoy life, pointing out all the wasted energy and negative energy i have... to not miss what i have. its true! there is so much i do kind of take for granted and don't appreciate that i do have. i need to be happy with number 1 first... i could get the perfect job, fall madly in love, get a bunch of really cool stuff... and i'm not going to fill that void... i need to work on me first.
anyways, i'm back home with the parents... not what i wanted to do but i got no choice really. i hope something will come along real quick... kind of out of the mula!
