Confessions of a Foxfire

4th April, 2009. 12:11 pm. Well, it's been a while...

So, it looks like I've been out of the loop for a while, so I may as well update anyone out there who still wants to know what's going on. :D

I'm still with Shared Journeys and am managing five clients at three sites. I had six, but one moved to the new site that opened in December and while I do miss the guy, I still see him on occasion and all is good. ^_^

I started taking Taichi classes in the summer of last year as an attempt to get one of my diabetic clients to do something physical. Since then, I have been taking Taichi once a week and have moved up to also taking a Quigong class once a week as well with a wonderful and personable Sifu, Kim Ivy of Embrace the Moon in Ballard, which tends to lean on teaching mostly Chen Style and it has proven to be a total blast. :) In a couple or five years down the line, I'm thinking about studying fan form. It's very fascinating.

Jim, Aud and I bought a house in August. Not exactly what we had planned, but while wandering around looking at places while visiting Mike, Jen and Luke up in the Issaquah Highlands, we toured a townhouse that we fell in love with and somehow managed to get a loan before everything fell apart. O.O Thankfully the recession has not cost either Aud or I our jobs with Shared Journeys, but the company the Jim was working for had to lay him off and he is currently looking for employment. With two of us still bringing in full paychecks, we are able to keep the house and everything.

For my birthday this year, Jim and Aud took me to Anaheim, California and I went to Disneyland for the first time ever. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad we got to go. Pictures are available on my Facebook page, if anyone is interested. And if any of you are over there on FB, please feel free to make a friend request! For some odd reason, I have been over there quite a bit lately. O.o;; We also went to Knott's Berry Farm, Medieval Times and Hollywood (on the day of the Oscars, unfortunately, so I didn't get to see the Mann's...it was blocked off for the stupid celebrities. Humph!) and surrounding areas. Saw big brother Schmoe and had dinner with him...decided that I really like Venice Beach and may run away there someday (yeah, right!).

Aud and I attempted NaNoWriMo this year...right before the opening of a new site at the company. Obviously, we failed miserably and I think she's much more upset by this that me. That's what Prozac will do to you, kids. No creativity left to save your own life. >.<

I recently got into a cute, six-episode J-Drama called "Cat Street," which is based on the manga by Youko Kamio. I like the manga, but there's something really hysterically adorable about the live-action series that I think I may like just an eensy bit more. It's much less disappointing than the live-action television series for "Princess Princess," even though the fan service in it is beyond hysterical.

Started recently watching "the Mentalist." Interesting show. Still watch "Criminal Minds." Perhaps I really should have considered the Criminal Psychology degree after all? Who knows. Either way, there hasn't been a whole lot of time for much fun stuff, other than the Taichi/Quigong and a few weekly shows. Curse of management, I suppose.

How the hell is everyone else? Is anyone still out there?

Current mood: contemplative.
Current music: "Mann's Chinese"; Naked.
