Falls are painful!!!
It was our Wednesday night game and we were wrapping up and getting ready to go home. We noticed that one of our friends left her purse at the house we were playing at, so we called her and said that it was there. She turned around and came back for it. So she had fell just a few min prior but only to her knee. So she was fine but I didn't want her to fall again. So I ran into the house to grab her purse and then promtly Walk/Run it to her. I slipped and fell into the mud on my but and heard a "Crack, Crack, Crack" and I couldn't move. My ankle hurt so bad I was afraid to move it. I had my husband and a friend help me into the car and off we went home to put the cousin -in - law home and call the urgent care nurse to see what we should do. So their resolution was to go to the hospital and have it checked out.
This mind you is my first real memory of ever going to a hospital, it was a scary thought. We went and parked the car, the ankle was down to a dull roar and was able to move it kind of but it still hurt. We spent a total of only 1.5 ish hours in the hospital. That was it. I was very happy with the care that I got. The final deduction was that I had sprained the ankle bad, to the point where they gave me drugs , a brace, and crutches.
Let me tell you re-learning the cutches is a pain. but if I can't put weight on the foot then well you kinda have to learn fast. Well I am gonna go put the foot up and try to relax and maybe convince the cousin -in- law to get me some water.
Will keep you posted if it becomes worse.

Updating you on our status
Matt went to the hospital recenetly. We found out that he is allergic to shellfish the hard way. He had some shrimp ramen and his throat was sore and was not feeling well. On Tuesday morning early, 2am pst, Uurson took him to the hospital and they gave him some benedryl and some sterriods. They didn't get out of the hospital until almost 7am.
He is starting to feel better but it is going to be progressive. I am hoping that he is not getting brochitis or something worse. But here is to Matt feeling better.
Well I am off. If you want to be my myspace friend just look up Kitty or ask me.

Video Games
The video game I beat was Katamari Damacy. My old High school friend had let me borrow it, and I fell in love with it. I have not yet beat it 100% but I have finished the game. Now it is time to go back through all of the levels and find all the little things.
I was very excited last night. Especially since I now have to get through the second game. We ♥ Katamari. After that then I have to figure out how to play the third game in the series. Me & My Katamari seeing that I don't own a PSP. Nor do I want to own one for that matter. I will have to see about purchasing it for the PSP then either borrowing a friends, or I can talk and maybe buy one at a pawn shop. But the last but certainly not least of the Katamari is... Beautiful Katamari. But Urs whants to get a 360 of our own before we get it.
Well we need to do laundry.
LAter peeps

Ambulatory EEG
Just recently we have been dealing with his seizures the worst was when he didn't even remember who he was. But now just trying to find out the cause and why he is currently having these problems has been a challenge.
We tried to get him to have a seizure in the hospital but it did not work very well, the did not get anything. So we are trying again for a seizure. Normally I would not wish a seizure on anyone but we need to know what is going on. So the dr said to put him on an Ambulatory EEG for the week. Well we just started that today. And Whoo hoo our first seizure. We believe that his seizures are stress related.
Well Here is to finding out what is going on.
>^.^*<
Easter weekend
So this year I took off Friday for the con. I got home thursday getting ready for the convention and figured that it is not a good idea to go thursday night. A little known fact about Norwescon is that this convention runs from Thursday afternoon until Sunday night. It is a convention of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Something that both Urrson and Myself are into. They always run it Easter weekend.
So we wanted to go that friday but we had a few errands to run before that. Urrson was sick, and didn't feel good on that friday, after searching for a half hour for a parking spot we decided that it was a good idea to just go home.
We decided that we would get up early on Saturday and go to the con. We left the house at 7am. We found a parking spot way down the pac hwy strip. Mind you this convention is near the Sea Tac Airport. So after finding said parking spot.. and fighting with the valet parking, (We don't like to valet our car) we decided that there was no where else to go.. and so we parked. We got out of the car and then promptly walked to the con.
We got there and needed breakfast, something about urrson being a diabetic. (Who knew??) So we ate breakfast... $30 !?!?!? I couldn't believe we spent that just for breakfast. Either way we then went go pick up our registration. We obtained my Reg packet but the other packet was not there.. we have to go up to the guest of Pro section. The Green room to get his badge. (I guess one year he was with a pro.)
We then walked around the dealer's hall to see if we could find a few purchases. We did find a few things. We then roamed the art hall. I bid on a piece of art and got it. Other than that we did go to a few panels ate lunch, then a few more panels then the masquarde ect ect ect.
Over all we spent 16 hrs at the con on sat. We did not get home until 2am. We got home and the promply fell asleep. We then got up early to go pick up my art piece. I was very happy. We then said bye to a few friends then we went to a movie. "Horton Hears a Who." Intresting movie Definately a kids movie though.
Other than that .. that was our weekend. I really wish I would have had a good camera but.. yet still I don't have one to my name. Eventually we will get one.
Well off I run now.

Help!! I need confidence boost!!!
I love my boss for doing this for me. But on the posting they said that only the best will get an interview. Now I first have to show off my skills. But I just don't have all of the ones they are looking for.
This is what I would be doing.
· Build and install new computer systems
· Maintain multiple computer images
· Troubleshoot and repair workstation hardware and software.
· Troubleshoot and repair general network connectivity.
· Level 1 Active Directory Administration
· Level 1 Microsoft Exchange AdministrationLevel 1 Telecom and Voicemail Administration
Of those things the stuff in orange is stuff I don't necessarly know. But I AM WILLING TO LEARN.
These are the qualifications they need
· One year of desktop PC, server and infrastructure hardware experience ( Does college count as experience as well I did some contract work with my husband's company)
· Windows NT/2000/XP use and professional troubleshooting experience
· Core MS office application experience (Office, Project, Visio etc)
· Demonstrated ability to rapidly adapt to changing situations and an ability to dynamically reprioritize workload accordingly
· Analytical thinking
· Attention to detail
· Proven problem solving skills (I don't know if it can be "Proven")
· Excellent customer facing skills
· Technical research ability ( I think I can find out the information. At least I know where I can find it)
· Ability to work effectively as a member of the team
· Some physical requirements such as lifting, moving, working under desks doing wiring etc.
· Ability to work a changing schedule as business requires it.
· Technical product & configuration knowledge
· Experience with desktop imaging solutions such as Symantec Ghost (I worked with this breifly in highschool)
· Experience with HP Openview HelpDesk system (Never worked with this in my life)
· Telecommunications experience
· Network experience including TCP/IP
So I guess I am asking for confidence here. Should I go for it? Or should I find something else?

How do you find one's self?
Some of the things that I would like to be.
- Translator of ASL, French, and maybe Spanish.
- Computer Network Tech (IT)
- Laying cableing for Networks.
- Educator, (teacher type person)
I have been thinking of what I wanted to be lately as right now I feel like I am in a rut. I love my job don't get me wrong, but sometimes I come home saying I wish I could do more. My passion lives with people and communication. I love people, to study them, to work with them, and just understand them. I just don't know where I am going. I feel like I am lost. Uurson says that it is normal to lose onself at my age. But really I don't like feeling lost. I don't like not knowing where I want to go.
Another part of me wants to be a perfectionist. That part of me is very disconcerning as my life is not perfect which I have just accepted as a fact. I just hope soon enough I can find myself. I just need to keep reminding myself that something will come up and say.. Pick me. I am what you want to do. Well I off till another day.

Car Trouble
Now we know what is wrong with the Sidekick, and well the Camry that is kind of known. Both cars have been out of commission for almost a year now. The reason they were not attended to before is because we are your typical american family. We live paycheck to paycheck. I hate living like this, but during this time we had no money to spare. Myself and my husband were getting married at this time.
Well we got our tax return, (my tax return) and we spent it fixing our cars. We are planning on moving here soon and we are needing to downsize everything. I hate hauling and waiting for the last minute. So last weekend we started our quest to get the car fixed. The Sidekick was an easy fix, sorta. It was the starter about a 100$ fix. We got the starter and attempted to start the car. It didn't start. So we tried to charge the battery. But the battery was dead. It didn't want to start. So we bought a new battery. $70 fix. It started like a charm. I was thrilled. Especially since this car is my first car ever. I still need to get a day pass as the tabs expired, take it to emissions and get the tabs. Then after that I need to get the Intrument cluster. The price tag on that.... Unknown yet.
The camry on the other hand, it needed a new timing belt. So a friend bought it for us. (we have great friends) We then took the car apart to get it going then... we didn't have the right tool for the job. We had to go on the great hunt for the correct tool. Then finally after months, and months of searching and having the funds to get it together, we just bought the tool. It was a whole $17 after taxes. Now we have everything put together we tried to start it sat. It did not want to start, the battery was dead. This time it just needed to be charged. But it still won't turn over. So our friend is going to come over and fix the blessed thing.
Now in my case, I could care less if the Camry gets fixed or not, but LJ wants it fixed. She takes the bus like I do, but she is going to be working graveyard and would like some wheels. I don't blame her but the Camry has been stolen not once but 3 Times. It's electrical system isn't stable, and it is just not worth it. I want to call a junk yard to pick it up so that it can be toast. But I have to try to fix it as LJ thinks she wants it. She even says she will buy it from us. I perk my ears when I hear money in the situation. Especially since she doesn't even pay us rent right now.
My other car runs well and since Zack's car doesn't really count, we won't mention it much. Here is another day in the life of Kitty. We just say...Take it one day at a time.

Wedding post.
The wedding rehearsal went well with one exception. WE WERE LATE!!!! We were almost an hour late, but that stemmed from being late from the "make over" I had planned. So we get to dinner late and then after dinner we arrived almost a half hour late. We got there and we were conversing and getting things organized. My photographer failed to show up; found out that night he was sick. The music guy failed to show up, found out later that his car broke down and he had to go to the hospital with pneumonia. After everyone arrived the Person whom was gonna marry us had to hurry things along and so she had us line up. After great discussion we finally line up, but one of my bride's maids has a service dog. And my matron of honor decided it was a good idea to step on the service dog's tail. The dog wrapped around her owner and tripped her. Now if this was a normal person whom didn't have her child in her hands and was stable she would have been fine.. but she fell.
Uurson (husband) took the child from the bridesmaid as she picked herself up off of the floor. At that time we did not know that she hit her head. Mind you again if she was a normal person she would have been okay, but in this case she has a soft spot on her head. At this time she was okay but later on it would be much worse.
We finally did the run through and got the flock out of there. Myself and Uurson got home along with the Matron of honor and a friend so that we could pack. We had to pack to go to the hotel the night before the wedding. After the Matron of Honor and myself got packed we left for the hotel.
The hotel... now that was fun. I had to call Uurson as I forgot I needed the debit card to check in. Got to the hotel checked in got everything up the stairs and got dressed to go get some drinks and food. We went to the place down the street for some drinks and some food. We had Nachos for a late night snack. I had a Malibu mai tai and a White Russian. The matron of Honor had a few shots of Whisky. We played some tunes and a round of Pool.
The next day we had to get our hair done and and eat some food and then we were on our way. We got lost in the process but then found our way. We got there on time. Me, LJ (the matron of honor) and Her husband. I found out that the bride's maid that fell was not attending as she had a migraine bad enough to make her cry. Got the make up done and then it was time for dressing. Got dressed and by the end of it all we were a HALF HOUR LATE for the start. We started up the stairs and wanted to ensure the Groom is no where in site of myself.
We started the ceremony. After the Walking down the aisle and attempting to trip on my dress. Got up the stairs and then started with our vows to each other, lighting the candle, Almost caught my veil on fire. Following that we exchanged vows again along with rings, then did our Handfasting with our cords. Then after that we did the whole seal the deal with a kiss and the announcing the bride and groom.
After the recessional we go through the party line. We hug everyone that came to our wedding and then after everyone has seen us we then get introduced to the people as Mr. and Mrs. We get right down to the toast, then to the cake cutting, the marriage license signing, and then pictures. After the Pictures we do the boquet toss and then the garter toss followed by the 1st dance.
Boy did we ever have all of our bases covered. After the reception Uurson got out of his suit, he was getting hot. Then our friends helped pack the car with our gifts and then I packet myself into the car then off we went to the hotel.
After that point we went out to dinner and then well.. we called it a night.
We obtained some killer gifts. So I wanted to thank those who offered their gifts to us. Here is a list of some of the noteable things we got.
1. Kitchen Aid
2. Microwave (we sooo needed one)
3. Small George foreman grill
