Vacations and frustrations

Wow, the past two weeks have been crazy!  There was 4th of July weekend at PGE then the 6th I drove home because my sister, brother in law and Emmett were visiting.  I had a lot of fun with them.  We went to parks and just played with choo choos and mowers and other fun things around the house.  Emmett is getting to be such a big boy (he will be 2 in September) he can count to 10 sometimes and other awesome things.  I had a lot of fun spending time with him but it was great to spend time with my sister.  My sister and I got away to get pedicures which was really fun, and I decided to try a new color and got bright green.  I love it!

After spending time in Corvallis I had one shift working at Victorias Secret so I suffered the heat in my car with no air conditioning and drove to Portland for work.  Right after work I drove to Mercer Island to spend a few days with Mark and his family.  Lots of fun! Mark and I went to a Mariners v Yankees game (the one where Jose got a grand slam and Ichiro robbed A-Rod of a homer!)  we also went to a sounders game and had all you can eat tickets which was so cool!! Mark, his brother, Steven, and I also went to the beach to check out the Seafair Pirates landing.  Mark only had to work once while I was there so I hung out with his family that day, his mom, sister, brother and I even saw Despicable Me which was even better than I had expected!  Mark had a few tests to take in Eugene for his online classes so after a few days on the island we drove down to Eugene for a few days.  It was weird to be in Eugene but it was fun still.  We got to hang out with our friend Russell and while Mark studied I transcribed an hour long interview for a few professors and a grad student doing a study on Tracktown USA.  The trip was very fun, and I am sad to be back in Portland by myself.

I have worked two games since I've been back and we had an hour long meeting this morning at 8am at Victorias Secret.  P.S. that one hour meeting is the only hours I have on the schedule in two weeks.  There is new management and it is really frustrating for me.  It was nice to have the days off that I wanted to vacation but the fact that when I am in Portland doing nothing I still don't work is really frustrating for me.

PGE Park is still great though! Love it!
