Heavy on my heart

I've been thinking about Rolin alot lately. I think about him daily but lately, he's been a focus on my mind. Im not sure why. I think it might have something to do with the fact that one of my professors says "Really?" the way he did...a mock sarcasim or suprise at something. Maybe because its the baseball playoffs and he loved baseball. [and we surely would have had a bet going on about the Angels/Yankees series] Maybe because his Birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas [three things he loved dearly]...and of course the three year anniversary of his death are all upcoming. I miss Rolin so much. I always feel like there is a piece of him here with me and of course there are the random moments that I am reminded of something funny he did and will smile or burst out laughing often with tears in my eyes. The other day I remembered how we scattered those 99 cent poppers from the 4th of July on the ground in San Francisco's China Town and then hiding in an Alley as we watched people step on them and being suprised by the "pop!" it made.

Rolin wanted me to graduate so very much. I still have all the cards he sent me encouraging me. When he died his death threw me off my game. I was shell shocked and couldnt deal with the grief. All I could think about (And often still do) at night was the last time I saw him having this sixth sense it would be the last time. I remember looking at him for such a long time telling myself it could be the last time. It was. He was just so sick. Or the last time I talked to him. I can still hear his voice so clearly in my head. I feel like Ive been in this fog the past two years and I am finally emerging. While the pain of losing someone so dear to you never truly goes away, the pain has eased and I can truly smile at all the wonderful memories without pushing them away because im afraid of crying. For so long I couldnt discuss the grief because I was afraid of breaking down. I think I am finally past that phase. Each day gets a little bit easier.

I miss you so much Rolin. I miss your voice and your laugh and your incredible sense of humor. But mostly I miss your smile and hugs. Im thankful for the time and the memories and for the happiness and joy you spread to my family. I love you Rollie. Eat a macaroon for me :)

Too cute. Laying on the floor by my desk as I do homework. yes he is upsidedown


Laying on my bed while I do my homework at my desk...and yes laying next to PINK! ah!



My first pumpkin carving of the year!!! My Yankee pumpkin! I pick a team every year to follow and The Yanks were my team of choice. I think my pumkin is a jinx. They lost 6-1 tonight in Game 1!

Tokala sitting on Chelsea's lap while they were visiting in my room. Too cute!


Tokala and his slim jim...or slim cat Im not sure what its called. Chelsea bought it. You put his food in it and he has to push it around to get the food out. Seeing as he was weighing in at around 16 pounds at one year it was time for a diet. He has adjusted well to it - the first few days were touch and go and he only tries to hide it from us occassionally!

Happy Birthday Sarah!!!!

Our fabulous roomate Sarah turned the big 22 last week. Last year we threw a huge 21st Birthday for her with all of our friends. This year she wanted something more demure and so we appeased her with a celebration of my homeade pizza, homeade birthday cake made by Chelsea, a movie and a glass of wine the weekend of her Birthday and dinner out at Wing Central on her Birthday. Sarah is an amazing roomate and friend. She is kind and thoughtful and is always there when you need her. I feel so blessed to have her!!! Happy Birthday Watkins! I hope you have a wonderful year!!! :) Ps...welcome to the old people's club! ;) (My pictures were taken with the camera phone hince the graininess)



I made stuffed pumpkin pizzas...rolled out the dough and cookie cutted it
Tomato Paste, Cheese, Sausage, and Olives!!!

Put the other half on top and creased the edges! Ready to bake!


Come out all doughy and crispy goodness! :)



Sarah with her homeade chocolate cake (and the Yankees in the background!)

Sarah with her cake and her birthday card I made!


When Sarah went to class on Friday Chelsea and I quickly went into action....her making the cake and me making her card! Sarah LOVES Halloween...this was very fitting! :)

Reasons I Love Fall

  • Everything Pumpkin Spice! Coffee Creamer in my morning breakfast drink or in my hot chocolate...or a delicious smelling candle
  • The smell of wood burning fires
  • The beautiful colors on the trees as they change...There is a section of campus where the trees are old and line the entire street dangling their colored leaves...its just gorgeous!
  • Snuggled up in a blanket watching TV in front of the Fireplace
  • Halloween Movies!
  • The foggy mornings and the distinct smell of fall
  • Football Sundays with homework and hearing Chelsea yell for the Seahawks
  • Being able to wear a vest with a long sleeve shirt underneath...no reason for a heavy jacket yet!

and quite possibly the most fabulous reason I love Fall.....

  • BASEBALL PLAYOFFS!!! while its tragedy the Mariners are not in it this year its something Im used to! :) I love the excitement, the rivalries, the pressure, and the legends that are born in the playoffs. I love carving my pumpkins while watching The World Series. I love spreading my homework out on the floor during Playoff Saturday's and watching game after game in front of the fire. I simply...love it. I live for it. Each moment is a piece of our history. Its incredible.

HAPPY FALL TO YOU ALL! :)

Our Afternoon of Crazy

Okay...so everyone knows we have a very interesting black cat named Toke here at school. He is our baby. He loves to cuddle, snores, loves people food and weighs about 15 pounds. Toke is also illegal meaning we are harboring him without actually paying for him here in our residence therefore, he is an indoor cat. Toke, would never survive outside and only goes outside when we are holding him. He is always around one of us and you can say he is attatched at the hip of either Chelsea and I. If he is not with either of us he is in his bed by the tv and fire in the livingroom. We are so very careful in not letting him outdoors. If we have people over we lock him in one of our rooms so he doesnt accidently get out.

Therefore, you can imagine my suprise when as I was walking home from class today I get a frantic phonecall from Chelsea saying Toke had gone missing. That Sarah and her had searched all over the house and could not find him anywhere and that the yard guy had said he had seen an adult black fat cat near the edge of Timothy Park's property near the big cow field. I thought it was a cruel joke. But then remembered that right before I had left for class I had stood in the doorway with the door wide open talking to my roomies before I shut the door and walked to school. I didnt remember Toke wandering past me outside but it was very possible that he had.

I was in a panic. I called for him as I got closer to home yelling "Here Kitty Kitty! Come here Toke!! Tokeriah!" like a fool. I went wandering partially into the cow field hoping to see him chasing a bird. Sarah and I met at home and preceded to drive around calling his name and parking near another field looking for him. Sarah who is not a huge fan of little Tokeriah wandered through a field yelling for him. I am crying thinking I have lost our cat! We looked through open garages thinking he had wandered in there hiding. We called his name and listened hoping to hear the meow we are so used to. I went in and looked through my closet afterall he loves to hide in there sometimes. Chelsea and Sarah had also looked in all the closets, the laundry room, under the beds, in the bathrooms, opened cubbards and decided he was indeed not in the house.

Chelsea came home from school and we wandered through Timothy Park calling for him and preceded to knock on doors to tell people that our black fat cat named Toke was missing and if they saw him to try and catch him and bring him to us. I can only imagine what people thought of three crazy girls crying about their fat cat named Toke. I just couldnt believe that he had gotten out and kept thinking that he had been watching the birds out my window which gets him so excited, saw the open door and made a run for it and quite possibly decided to follow me to school.

After we knocked on prettymuch everbody's doors in the vicinity of the area including looking under porches and barns across the street we came home and decided to call and leave descriptions with Vet offices as well as the humane society. Chelsea made signs to put up in case he didnt come home. We left his food dish and scratching post on the front porch hoping he would pick up the smell of home.

Chelsea then decided she would go on a run and see if she maybe didnt see him. Sarah and I settled in to do our homework with every blind and window open in the house hoping to maybe see him run across the lawn. I kept thinking that I heard a funny noise. As I was writing the homework assignments I needed to complete on my white board I heard a noise and looked over and lo and behold...there was tokeriahs head sticking out of the closet. Imagine my shock as I yelled TOKE! I started crying and grabbed him hugging him even Sarah was happy to see him and took off to try and find Chelsea...and then...the extreme anger set in. HE WAS IN MY CLOSET THE ENTIRE TIME!!!!!!!!!! all three of us had looked for him. we had called for him! we had tried to lure him out with food! HE IGNORED us! He got a bath as punnishment. He smells so good now

  • Now everyone in the vicinity knows that the crazy girls at 801 have fat black cat named Tokeriah...I keep expecting somebody to bring a random black cat to our place
  • Chelsea chased after a random black cat thinking it was Toke only to find she was chasing somebody elses black cat who did not appreciate her chasing their cat
  • We atleast now know all of our neighbors...it was a great way to meet guys!
  • Sarah and I got honked at and flipped off because we were driving so slow hoping to spot him
  • our cat apparently hates us because he wouldnt respond to us even though we were all calling for him and looking for us in the closet and even bribed him with food
  • 4 veternary offices now have a description of fat black cat named Toke
  • we found out Sarah really does love Tokeriah
  • we are reinforced in thinking that Toke would never survive outside as he layed on his back tonight curled up in my arms under a blanket watching Greys Anatomy.

But most important the little stinker was hiding in my closet the entire time. He has one hell of a hiding spot. And he never escaped. He was safe the entire time. Too bad we wasted 4 and half hours of our lives looking for the little poop.

Stepping Up On My Soap Box....

There are alot of little things that annoy me. Such as when people chew with their mouths open. Or I can hear people chew. Or when people dont merge correctly on the freeway, drive waaaay under the speed limit or dare to talk during a TV show and then have the adacity to ask what just happened. But nothing annoys me more than hypocrites, suck ups, and people with entitlement issues. These three are at the top of my list and I have found generally go hand in hand. I have lately just been so annoyed with people and their suck up, hypocritcal, entitlement issues that I just have to get it out there to the Universe. Maybe writing it on my blog is being passive aggresive...but frankly, I dont care.

I guess its something I should get use to. I deal with people like this everyday whether its at work with co-workers or customers, in the classroom or hell even in my family. I am fully willing to admit, that at times I too am guilty of my three annoyances. I have certainly on more than one occassion been a hypocrite. I have certainly tried to suck-up (I fail miserably and find that being polite gets you just as far as sucking up) and yes even at times have had entitlement issues. But the key thing here is that I recognize I have these...faults and work hard everyday to not fall victim. But I wonder why if I can easily admit my faults and that I make mistakes, why other people cant? Do people not see that they are being hypocritcal or do they just chose to ignore it because their ego is so big it wont allow them to?

Maybe its an insecurity, but lately Ive been thinking about what I say on my status updates on Facebook. I let myself go on my twitter account because there are less people there that I doubt care. But Facebook I have 366 friends. Thats 366 people who see what I say and follow what I do thanks to the stalker home page and lets face it we all know everybody loves to keep up on the gossip.I often read people's updates and wonder what the hell they are thinking especially when they are friends of mine. When do you tell somebody that their status is hypocritical or that they are clearly having an entitlement issue? Do they not know how ridiculous they sound?

Clearly not. Or they just simply dont care which is what bothers me the most. Why WOULDNT you care how you come across to people?! The same can be said for Suck Ups and even entitlement lovers. Is selling out friends, family, or co-workers really worth that extra little push you might get? Or relentlessly demanding and/or thinking you should get something just because you think you deserve it or to get that moment of praise that you crave? I often find that when they dont get what they want they are negative and foul until they get what they want when suddenly, they are singing a different tune...aka a total hypocrite.

Unfortunately these people always get ahead in life because people allow them to continue to behave the way they do without any consequences. Many of them get rewarded when they shouldn't be. Nobody, is willing to say what the majority is thinking. Including me. I often chose to stay quiet because I tend to think that the majority is thinking what Im thinking and hope that one day things will come full circle. Or that maybe, just maybe one day they will "realize" their fault like I have and want to "fix" it. One can dream right?! I guess the lesson here after my rant is that I cant change other people. I can only change myself. And while these things totally and througherly annoy me they are always going to be there and I have to think of a way to handle my feelings and just make sure that I am none of these things that I so dispise.

End. Rant.

This Is Halloween...

Which means my blog music has changed to...Halloween music! :)

There is music from The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland (My personal favorite!) Hocus Pocus, Halloween, The Addams Family, The Munsters, Michael Jackson, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and of course...The Monster Mash! Enjoy! :)

Odds and Ends

  • School is going very well so far. I am putting time and effort into my classes so far I have two 100% assignments!
  • I decided not to get a parking pass...I ride to school with Sarah in the mornings and walk home if its nice or catch a ride back with Sarah or Chelsea. The other bonus is that I dont go home on my breaks. I go to the library and use my breaks as study time - which clearly, is working!
  • I had to make a tough financial decision which prevented me from being able to work the last homestand of the season for the Mariners. It was tough and I didnt get to say goodby to my co-workers BUT on the brightside, I got to really enjoy the last three games of the Mariner season without the interruption of customers! I loved being able to watch the aftergame love among the players - something I think the clubhouse needed this year = bonding. I would not have been able to experience it fully in a kiosk!
  • Griffey will be back. Its in the best interests of everybody. AND they WILL send him out properly
  • If you havent read my post about my CWU football game experience...you should.
  • Ive been having horrible allergy/sinus problems the past several weeks. Pain on the left side yada yada yada. My ear started hurting so I thought I would go to the health center and see about some allergy medication. Turns out I have a sinus infection. fun times.
  • We have brought the Halloween season in with style here in Tpark we have our decorations up, had Spaghetti and watched Hocus Pocus, Friday the 13th and Halloweentown. We love the holidays in our household and celebrate for the entire month! Toke is our Halloween kitty and if you havent seen the pictures of him in his pumpkin costume...check it out!
  • I found out that I recieved a 100% secret shop in one of my last games...thats two this season for those of you keeping up! Which is excellent and I am so proud of myself! 2/2!
  • George O'Malley is truly dead on Greys Anatomy. That makes me soooo sad.
  • Dancing With The Stars so far this season is extremely boring!
  • THE PLAYOFFS ARE HERE! which means the most wonderful time of the year! :)

Trying Something New

One thing I have learned as a History Major is the importance of Primary Documents. While we can learn alot of information and memorize facts and dates from text books nothing is better than seeing a first hand account of a historical event. Primary Sources have been drilled into my head so much that its hard to imagine that I never not new the difference between the two. Many of you probably do not know that I am a certified Oral Historian... which means I can take people's history down and document it officially so all of this becomes natural to me...

anyway the point of this post is that I have realized I have an amazing opportunity to write down all of my experiences, feelings, and situations of that moment. In other words...keeping a private journal. While this blog is great for relaying my current events I dont have an outlet for writing my true feelings. And trust me...I have alot.

My expirement is to write down anywhere..my class notebooks, in my books, my computer or this blog what I am feeling at any given moment. Ive found it to be awesome already. Who knows maybe one day people will read my anecdotes and get a mood for life as a Central Student at this time. Our Library accepts donations of such artifacts and it would be a neat way to leave my legacy as a CWU student. I just wish I had thought to do it earlier....

you may read more personal entries on this blog fair warning just so I can document my life more. You never know when I will need to look back and remember a little bit of my own history! Or my own source of Primary Documents! :)

Football Saturday!

Realizing that this is our last fall as CWU students, Chelsea and I decided we should go to atleast one of the home football games. Our team is 5th in the Nation and is currently undefeated. The last CWU football game I went to was the Battle in Seattle...my Sophomore year...which was ohhh 2006. The last game I went to on CWU campus was Homecoming...Freshman year. It was time to explore this relatively unchartered territory. I mean we have heard the bells, the cannons, and the marching band from our dorms, our apartment at the Grove and even here at Timothy Park. Today, we got to experience it.

Now, Ive grown up around football. Everyone knows I was Jake's biggest fan while he played Highschool ball and his college experience grew on me his two final years. I always wanted to be THAT fan in the stands when it was finally my turn to be in college...but reality set in. None of my friends ever really wanted to go to the games in the past, and lets face it...no offense to Jake but Ive been pretty footballed out.

We walked to the field scoped out the country playin tailgate party going on, was impressed with the Beer Ponging going on and recognized the entire men's and women's rugby teams pre-funking in the parking lot. We got our free energy drinks (We threw them out) and signed up for the Cat Pack to recieve our free t-shirts...oh yes... Chelsea and I are now proud members of the Central Washington University Cat Pack...whatever that may be. The point is we got free tshirts. We moved inside the stadium and found a group of friends...aka our softball team from last spring...aka the CWU men's hockey club team. We settled down next to them much to my chagrin on the 25 yard line ( I am a true believer of the 50 yard line which ironically is the home of this cat pack we became members of)

Immediately after sitting down, I took in the scene in front of me. Cotton eyed Joe was playing on the speakers...and there was a lady with a full mullet standing on the track. Yes. you read me correctly...Full mullet. Also in front of us just beyond mullet lady was the drill team. Not to be confused with the cheerleaders. We got to watch them perform and while I applaud them for trying, it was painful to watch and only added to the embarrasment I felt living in this small town called Ellensburg. Although to the Utahians across the field it probably felt like home.

To my left was the removable big screen. I was impressed that we even had a big screen honestly...even if it is tear down and put back on day of game style on top of a trailer. Hey. We still have a big screen...and by the way we were showed in our awesome new CWU Cat Pack tshirts on that big screen...numerous times. It was a very exciting moment for me. But that was not the end of our football game day excitement. Oh No. Do you remember the formentioned Rugby teams? Well it was decided that there was plenty of room around my row of friends for them to join us. Foul mouthed, drunk, girl crazy, boy crazy and boy cheerleader hasslers surrounded us. (I found it interesting that there almost as many boy cheerleaders as girl cheerleaders. Go Feminism!) The lone bright spot in this situation was realizing that my friend Lane was apart of this crew. (Rugby...not boy cheerleader) It was nice to say Hello, and visit with him until he had to leave us to join the said crowd above.

Now...the only negative thing I will say about my experience, was I did not approve of the band playing the Star Spangled Banner louder than the girl singing it. It made our little town seem so...podunk. Well that and the brawl among my fellow peers when the cheerleaders began handing out $5 Wing Central Gift Cards. I am ashamed to say that my own roomate Chelsea was one of the college kids gone wild in an attempt to score the prized gift. All I remember is covering my head waiting for the bedlam to end... all in the name of wings!

As for the actual game itself, well all I know is that there were alot of flags. An obscene amount of flags. Oh wait, that was the Huskie game I watched when I got home. Okay well either way I saw alot of false starts and yellow flags today. I saw good defense and I believe CWU had three 3 point kicks before actually scoring a touchdown...where after the ROTC boys proudly slip in that cannon without warning... Which sounds and feels like the 4th of July. Oh Also, Dixie State scored the first touchdown of the game but we blocked their kick. I was pleasantly suprised to hear that a buddy (ironically named buddy) from my Freshman year dorm (whom Ive prettymuch lost touch with) blocked that kick. Way to go Buddy! Im not sure what the score was at the half, all I know is that by half time we were ahead and I was ready to go - either home or to the white tent at the other end of the field where they were serving food and beer. Game On. Chelsea wanted to stay and watch the Marching Band for only god knows what reason. But when she realized they were not marching and the drill team was coming out for a second performance it was time to say goodbye and find the entrance to that little white tent.

We finally found the tent, proudly showed our Id's and our CWU student cards, paid our $5 and entered the tent excited at the prospect of what was to come. The Roadhouse Grill was catering, the wildcat mascot was wandering around, There were football decorations all over, and our former CA from The Grove who is now the President of CWU was there among other students and Alumni. We knew nobody else. We jumped in line, after all we all know Chelsea and I love a good buffet. Turns out we were at the end of the buffet but still enjoyed what little was left. We scrounged for a place at one of the tables - being kicked out of several seats and forced to sit tableless on chairs for awhile... and listened to the cannon boom in the background. Turns out Beer cost extra. Lame. What kind of establishment is this?! After we ate we debated whether to join our friends back in the stands but as it was quickly growing colder and the wildcats were now ahead 36 - 6 we decided to walk home agreeing that we had already had quite the day.

We can now say that we've experienced Wildcat Football fully (well minus the drinking). I was amazed at how quickly the stands emptied out before halftime actually started with the cries of "we're going to [insert name here] for halftime drinks!" or "Hey I need your keys! My Beer is in your car!" or "lets get that next round of beer pong in now!" or even "lets go use our $5 wing central card to go get a beer!" Only at Constantly Wasted University would this happen. I certainly dont remember hearing this from the student body at PLU! It was a little bit thrilling to tell you the truth. Ive been missing alot these past several years I've found. Perhaps the funniest moment or maybe enlightening moment of the day was being handed a card by a lazy eyed man that was promoting a new store in town called "Tight ASSests" Oh yes. Ellensburg now has a clothing store called Tight Assests. How charming! Im sure all the Antique shoppers will love going into that store. Maybe Mullet lady will be a regular there. I can tell you that I wont be.
