Yes folks, Clementine is now safe AND sound. Yes folks, sound! How so you might ask?! Well this past week has truely been killer. I found what I thought to be a in between job to get me by until I could find a better job. I answered a phone call from an ad on Craigs List for a barista in Kirkland. Well I went in for the interview, that went well, the owners of this coffee shop are from Australia...they rock. So they offer me a job and I started Monday! Very cool...then after my shift, I was offered a postion as the front of the house manager. One of the owners is the manager of the kitchen, since he is a chef.
Its an awesome job! I am given a lot of freedom to make choices of the staff and direction we go with the front of the resturant. Eventually we will open a cocktail bar and then turn into a killer chill night club. I am absolutely excited to be a part of this adventure. It will be tons of fun, and my bosses ROCK!
So that my friends is why I am sound!
Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!

The Christmas Party Madness
So my friends started a Chritsmas party tradition here in Seattle in 1999 in the basement of one of the dorms. It started with a little gift exchange and Sara Bader's wonderful top ramen and tomato sauce. Now....it is madness. The highlight of the gift exchange...Gnarly Teeth, and Banco's book The Easiest Way to Get Pregnant Naturally!

Safe...Maybe not Sound yet
I have made it safely to Sea-town (Seattle for all you who are confused). I am safe and now frantically looking for a means of cash flow. But I am excited. This new chapter will be one of excitement and passion. It will be a chance for me to enter the part of the 'grown up world' that I have not entered yet. I look forward to the adventures ahead.
And thanks Nate for the Shout Out! I appreciate it. I already miss my friends in H-town. I'll be back for New Years! Oh you just wait (maybe the triple trouble triple kiss will occur again!)
Miss all the H-town peeps, but you are all welcome in seatown anytime!

Do you hate me?!
So if I were ANY of my friends I would hate me right now. i have this thing called a blog and do I ever update it...ummm NOPE! So I think I am on a path to not being so lame. Life has had a lot of changes lately. By lately I mean in the last month.
I failed the Life/Health License exam a 4th time, worse then I have ever failed before. So I made the choice, I am done. I can't do this anymore. I don' t like the stress. However, in the same week I did that I also got an email from a group in Bellevue, WA that does conflict resolution in the school systems in Seattle. So I went to Seattle did a little training and have made the choice to move back to Seattle! YES this is a huge choice. It means leaving my friends behind in Helena, it means a new life without a job or anything in front of me. But it also leaves room for new adventures, and new stories.
At the moment I am thinking I will be in Seattle anywhere from the 7th-9th of Dec. I am staying with a good friend from college until I can find a job and pay rent. I am putting in my 2 weeks at the pub tonight, and have a few random paying jobs here and there to help save some money before the move.
I am excited, scared, and nervous. But I am ready for this new chapter, its a step in the right direction. It is getting me back to the PNW, the place I fell in love with during my undergrad days.
It will be fun, and much easier to up and leave the country!
I will be better posting too! I promise!

Changes
So life is ever changing. I swear just when I think I have got it all figured out God sends me a fast pitch and knocks me down.
If you read my Blog a couple weeks ago, I talked about the stupid test I had to take. Well I took it (4th times a charm right?!). I failed, not just part like I had in the past...but the whole stinking thing. So I am now questioning whether or not I should be in the insurance industry. Not really the career path I was intending...So now life is changing again.
Mediation seems more and more like the path I want to take. I have been in discussion with some folks over in the Pacific Northwest talking about doing some training over in that area and perhaps seeing what is out there job wise.
Who knows. But I do know that its been nearly a year. I love Helena but I am starting to get restless here.
So until next time...I'll just be restless in Montana (I think being sleepless in Seattle would be better at this moment).

Interesting
I received this from a friend in Turkey today, and it got me thinking. Although sort of childish...VERY true.
Find a guy, who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
Who calls you back when you hang up on him.
Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her."
I think I like the idea of the boy kissing my forehead. It makes me smile.
