What a nice day it turned out to be...
I was expecting rain all through my days off, but I was very happy to find quite a bit of blue sky as I headed out in the morning to go to my doctors appointment. God I love this time of year. Yes it does rain quite a bit, but the difference between Spring rain and the rain of the horrible winter months is quite different. The spring rain gives us more sun breaks on days that it rains than in the winter time to remind us that summer is definitely on the way. I think it might have misted a bit on the way to my destination, but I actually got more and more blue sky as I headed towards Portland. It was a bit cloudier in the Beaverton area where I live. My visit with my doctor was good. Since I last weighed myself I went up few pounds. It’s most likely from my mini vacation. When I was done with my appointment I headed up the street to my favorite thai food place called City Thai. My sister took me there a couple of years ago for my birthday. Awwww Thai food for breakfast.
After I was done there I headed up the street and I was sitting at the bus stop just soaking in the day that was unfolding in front of me. Clouds kept going in front of the sun then away again. When the sun shined right on me it was actually quite warm. I was very glad I wore shorts. Not only is spring nice to look at... it’s the smell of spring... there is nothing like it. No ladies I am not just talking about that smell of that first rain after it’s been dry for awhile that you seem to love so much. It’s the smell of fresh cut lawn and flowers in bloom. Sorry all you allergy folks....=(. Speaking of that I have been noticing all sorts of flowers of late. Especially Magnolia plants that are quite popular in this area and I had never really noticed before. I mentioned them a bit on my last blog when I got a massage. They are everywhere. I think that I have a picture on my phone somewhere...of the ones at the Beaverton Transit Center.
Just all the green of spring time is breathtaking to me. You will see a lot of that when I finish my train ride video. I enjoyed the view as I headed over on the bus to see the Jones Family and there new apartment. As I made my way there the clouds definitely made there presence known. So I quickly find my way to their new apartment in my old hood of Hillsboro. So happy for them. They had been living in a place that wasn’t a shit hole, but let just say it wasn’t ... “IDEAL” if you get my drift. There new place is already sooooo much better than their last place. Home to me is a very important thing. I was so glad to move into the place that I am now it made a huge difference in my life. I love coming home. Wait I am getting side tracked. So I got the grand tour of their new home. It is a three bedroom apartment so both of their kids get their own room. We found both of his kids in Austin’s room playing Mariokart on the wii. I love it! =) They have an actual dinning room and table now. Such a little thing, but it makes a huge difference. So we sat on there new couch and watched his kids play. I took some video that is priceless. The Highlights being “Cooking with Hannah” and “Austin’s new Eyebrow look”. I know I keep saying this, but the video is coming soon! So much to do... so little time. So my buddy Justin and I sat watched the kids and we caught up with each others lives. We definitely don’t see as much of each other as we use to. The woes of getting older. He took the time to show me the new Final Fantasy 13 video game since I was telling him I had heard bad things. After I watched him a bit I decided it may not be as bad as I thought, but still now even close to what I wanted it to be. After that his wife came out to the living room and joined us. Although Hannah was cooking up quite a storm with her plastic foods we sent my buddy’s wife out to get Hawaiian food. I know I know... your like Jesus Thai, Chinese, and Hawaiian food is my food pyramid...lol. Well sometimes it is, but it is far better that most things I could be eating...So back off! =P lol The food was from “Aiea Grill” on Walker and 158th in the Beaverton area. Not bad, but my only gripe with it was they didn’t really cut up the meat. Which is a minor thing I know, but it’s kinda of annoying. Still Bamboo Grove is my favorite. I think we will be hitting up “The Grove” soon for my cousin Kyle’s birthday next month. So after a bit of actual dinner at their actual dinner table... We started watching the blazer game and continue playing around with the kids. They're just too cute! Eventually my buddy Justin took me home because he works early in the morning. So I came home and finished the blazer game on the radio. While I was listening to the game on the radio I actually turned my TV to watch regular network TV(which doesn’t happen very often). I put my TV on the HSN channel a.k.a Home Shopping Network. I like to do this sometimes. I think its fucking hilarious to watch them try to sell shit. I often think about those that are actually fighting the urge to not pick up the phone and order this junk that will sit in the garage 91% of the time. Then end up on either e-bay or eventually goodwill. I love how they recycling the same lines over and over. If you have never done this before you should sometime it’s quite entertaining.
Tonights special was a Dyson wind tunnel fan thingy that was offered at the low low price of $299. Let me tell you something...even if it did half the things they said it does, there is no reason for it to be that expensive. This comes from someone who spent $400 on a Dyson Vaccum and would totally do it again. Even if it ended up getting stolen from my last apartment, but that's a whole other story. I mean at the sale price of$300 you have to wonder what the actual price was for it. lets see if I can find an actual picture to give you an idea.
I guess it’s called the “Air Multiplier”
There might actually might be a video on youtube about. I wouldn’t doubt it.
Wow this is what we are wasting our time on? lol Here is a just a few lines I would use when trying to sell this... "Well it certainly does blow...." "You can put anything through the whole..." and last but not least a line they used with a little twist..."You can stick your head, arms, hands in it....(then I say)*wink* Oh boy... that's what she said..." You know me... lol. Life is just too funny to me.
Wait a minute.... look what I noticed in my bathroom...
A air multiplier on my air freshener? I think I might be on to something...
Anyway, as the blazers moved to 50 wins in a hell of a game last night at the rose garden. My cousin Kyle was actually at that game with great seats about 8 rows back in fact. I text him after the game and he said it was amazing. I can only imagine. I have never been to a blazer game and have lived in Oregon all my life. I know... loooooser. lol
Finally, I ended the night with going through my huge stack of mail. God I hate going through the mail, but I am working on being more accountable this year and that is a good start. I recently got myself into some issues with some old medical bills because I wasn’t really reading my mail. Well I fucking opened it!... didn’t know I had to read it too....jesus. Yeah I might skim over it a bit... but shit reading his hard when you read at a 3rd grade level...lol. So after I went through all of the mail in my large stack. I headed out to my mailbox to make sure I got all my mail while I was at it. Yeah don’t most people check their mailbox at almost midnight? So as I was walking to mail box I was looking at the sky. There was a few clouds, but mostly clear sky. I love looking at the stars. I also took another big breathe. What I smelled was the smell you get when camping first thing in the morning. This is such a exciting time of year. I can’t wait to go camping! Doesn’t get any better than that! So I think that is about it. That is a bit of just a normal day with D-lite. Bit of some random thoughts and observations. That’s just me. =)
