I passed!

I passed my real estate license test! yay! 91% on the national, 88% on state. 75% is passing. man, i was nervous. i hate tests.

2,515.5 miles and then some

eugene -> bakersfield -> las vegas -> agua caliente -> san diego -> redding -> eugene
and that doesn't include my drive down from portland, and then back up again via lebanon for my cousins wedding this evening.
I am SO glad to be home. I am sitting in my comfy bed cuddling with my sweet Rosie pup. I need to get to studying, I have my license test tomorrow. I am a little nervous....... but today was really fun, I went to the airstream dealership with my dad. I wanted to see the new basecamp trailer by airstream. and my dad wanted to check out the airstream touring coach. the basecamp is pretty neat. bare bones for a travel trailer, but it is COOL. it's like luxury roughing it. you can even get it with high suspension and off road tires! but if it came down to it I think I would probably go for a Tab teardrop trailer before I'd go for a basecamp, because they're more utilitarian and less expensive. the basecamp is like a toy hauler tent trailer. I don't have THAT much gear that needs hauling. and if i had my choice of choices of trailers I would get the 22ft International CCD. *sigh*
anyway, I need to stop procrastinating and start actually studying.
I will post more about our epic road trip later and I will post more pics....some that are better than cell phone pics. some of those show up ok, and then others look like total crap. but I still think it's really fun to post with my phone. technology never ceases to amaze me.

Treasure island

I'm at the vegas bowl. I have no idea whats going on. I've never been to a football game before. The trafic was insane getting here. My dad almost ran over a parking attemdant, then parked illegaly in a vip parking section. I just hope our car is still there later.

Lion habitat in mgm grand

We're staying in the mgm grand. I was very depressed last night because Tom Jones played here and i couldn't go. It was just too expensive!

We just drove through redding. Now we're going to play apples to apples.

Mt. Shasta!

5.45 am...we're off! Max wanted to come with.

Stuck in traffic.... just outside of eugene. I'm hungry and i really have to pee!

totally depressed

AL and I watched the last episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer this morning. we finally finished it. I am glad to now know how it ends, but it was kind of sad and I am sad that it's over. I guess now it's time to move on to a different show, like Angel, or Firefly.

kr club meeting

We had a successful KR fan club meeting this evening. we finally watched "The Thing", which I have had from netflix for like 4 weeks. it's a classic. i forgot just how good it was and how creepy it is, it's been awhile since I've seen it.

Frisbee in the mud!

work and weather....always valid topics

sweet, my "test" was successful........I changed my phone # and hence had to change my mobile blogging number. I miss my old phone number, it was truly perfect. but the new one is good too. it has its advantages, like Crazy Guy can't call me anymore which means I can answer my phone even when it's an unknown number! yay! it's also better to have a local number for "da bidness" and i guess this means I really live in portland now. even changed my address on my drivers license.
so how bout that weather, eh? the wind is blowing like CRAZY out there. I had to lock the door at work today because it blows open. It didn't make much difference for business, I let people in if they came to my door or they went in the yarn store door. Not a lot of people out and about in the 60 mph hour winds and rain. My last customer (of about 3 for the day) was at 6. I closed at 9. I was very bored.
