California here I come

We've booked our flight. We're flying Southwest (like on A&E's Airline. yay) on June 18th. We leave at 7:50 in the morning from Providence and arrive in LA at 12:15 their time. Then we fly from LA to San Jose and get there at 2:15 their time. Then we pick up our car and head over to the hotel.

We'll have the rest of the day Sunday to get settled in and maybe go out to dinner or something. But I don't know if I'll be doing any sightseeing with the gals because Seth is supposed to meet me at the hotel after I arrive. I'm really excited to meet him finally. We've been chatting on the phone and online for a couple months now and we have a ton in common. It's nice to talk to someone who understands how tough it is to be disfellowshipped.

I've been finding in my past couple "relationships" that opposites attract definitely but it doesn't mean it will work out. That's depressing because I seem to really have a spark with certain people but they just aren't ready or they're not right for me or whatever. Having stuff in common is what keeps you together in the long run. not that I'm saying I'm going to jump into a relationship with Seth. Far from it. Though I'm already getting tormented by Joe and Paul about it. But that's not my problem so I'll just let it go.

I am kind of getting excited for this trip now. I'll have the afternoon on Sunday to relax and then Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are training. Then we're out of there at 8:25 a.m. on Thursday. We won't get home until 6:50 our time of course... Gotta love the time changes. I don't think I'll be into work on Friday. Augh. Seth wanted me to stay through the weekend but that would mean I'd have to fly home by myself and I'm not ready for a 7 hour flight on my own.

I just have to figure out what the heck I'm going to pack...

I went to my first kenpo class last night. I was going to participate but I had a minor procedure done at the doctor's yesterday and she said no physical activity for a couple days so I just showed up and watched. Joe was teaching last night. He is so sarcastic with those kids. It's funny. I got to talk to the school owner for a little bit. I told him that I have that business trip coming up and all so he said I could take the next three classes for free and then when I get back I can decide if I want to sign up. They ask for a year committment from you which seems like a lot at first, but I guess with all the stuff you have to learn it's not that much. Plus there are people like Joe who have been going 20 years so one year out of my life isn't bad. I just hope I do well at it and actually want to stick with it.

ROTS Review - it's not all puppy dogs and ice cream

Well, Revenge of the Sith opened last night. I’m told it made 16.5 million with just its midnight show. I’m not surprised. This was the long-anticipated end to a huge saga. And I have to say that after having last night and some of today to reflect on it, I was a bit disappointed. The die-hard fans are furious right now, I’m sure. “What? But. . .it’s Star Wars. . .How can you not like it??” I will tell you how. First of all, I’m not saying I hated it . I enjoyed it enough and I definitely plan to see it again. There was so much to see on screen that you certainly need to view it more than once to take it all in properly. I did not hate every second of it. I left with a mostly satisfied feeling. But let’s cover what did bother me and then we’ll end on a high note with the things I really enjoyed. WARNING: HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD. 1. Anakin and Padme – the dialogue between them was definitely lacking. I cringed during the whole “I love you because you love me” part. But that ca...

Update from the road

I don't use blogger anymore. I love the interface here and I like it better than livejournal but there is just no sense of community for me here anymore. I still read a few people's blogs but that's it really and I never hear from anyone on here so... I switched to LJ. If you want to know any of the happenings of my life, you can catch up there . I'm driving cross country currently with my husband, Seth. We started at my home in Mass and are in cali now. We're going to be in Washington State by Sunday. That's where Seth's job is. For any of those of you who have my cell phone number, it's shut off right now. That's what happens when you get fired for no reason from your job, denied unemployment, and you can't pay your bills. But it'll be back on again soon. Even though i'm going to miss my family and the few good friends I had there, I am so glad to be out of that god-forsaken state. I can't wait to start fresh in Seattle. Eventually ...

Great Questions from my Favorite Movie Reviewer

In a note on my previous post kennelworthy said: " Okay, I'm sure I could find the answer to this by going through your site's archives, but I'm at work and therefore don't have that kind of time. Feel free to chide me for being lazy. But...without getting personal, I have a few questions. For starters, ( 1 )what kinds of things cause the JW's to excommunicate someone? ( 2 )If they would accept you back into their fold, would you want to go back...or was your df'ing something related to "core beliefs." For instance, the Episcopal denomination is currently fueding with itself over homosexuality in the pulpit. It's caused a split in the church proper over "core beliefs." So, is there some aspect of the JW's you disagreed with that led to your df'ing...or do you still hold the same belief system as them but they just won't let you back in officially? If the answer to the above is "yes", then ( 3 )why would you wan...
