I am really white I guess

I haven't written in this blog in such a long time. I was looking at the stuff white people like blog, and the new post was talking about taking a year off. It mentioned teaching English abroad. Also one of the recent posts was ugly sweater parties. Man, I fit into all of the white people categories which is kind of sad. I guess you can't escape who you are. Living at home since Dec 17th has made me realize this more and more. I see part of my parents in me which is completely frustrating. My Dad was laid off from his job at Buse Timber and Sales where he worked for 25 years, a couple of weeks ago. I basically wrote his resume and cover letter for him. he gets frustrated easily and tends to give up when he enters into new territory that he isn't familiar with. I think I take the easy way out sometimes when I am frustrated as well.

On the 6th through the 9th, Kelly, Dan and Tim are going to visit for the weekend for my going away party!!!!! It will be marvelous. I miss my San Francisco peeps.

The days creep by. I have my Visa, now I am waiting to hear back about my plane ticket. I believe I will be leaving the 14th or so. I guess that leaves me about 17 more days in the United States of America.

In a half an hour Lost will be on. I have been watching entirely too much T.V., and eating way too many home baked goods. I would love to lose a few pounds.

Today it was sunny and relatively warm. I walked around Greenlake with my parents and our dogs. We didn't talk much.
