Merry Christmas everyone!!
I hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas. Mine is going better than expected! As of right now I just started my shift at work. I've been staying at the hotel the last two nights because the roads have been to icy to drive back to Ellensburg. It's an adventure to say the least but luckily I've made friends working here so I have people to hang out with when I'm not working. I could really use a girl though. Roo is in Issaquah, Lana is in New York, and Jeana is in Frnace still I believe so I've been hanging out with Stuart, Ben and Josh. One of the perks of staying here though is that I totally got the Christmas buffet for free and it was amazing! :)
My families been great too. I've been talking to them a lot in th elast couple of days. I got to talk to some of my dad's side of the family last night which was great. They put the phone on speaker while my little cousins were singing and while my Uncle played the newest song that he wrote. By the way, my Uncle is amazing. I love his music. I can listen to it for hours and I definitely do! I bring it to work and just listen to it while I'm bored which is alot of the time now because we're super slow. Seriously, 90% of the people that walk through our doors are coming in for the Christmas buffets or for the Airporter shuttle down to SeaTac. It's pathetic. One thing I am grateful for though is our supervisor quitting. Sure she's the reason that I'm working right now but with her gone that means that there is a supervisor position open. My friend Lana is also a supervisor and so she's put me in charge of the front desk for about three weeks while she's gone in New York and apparently she's going to talk to our operations manager about me getting the postition. There are two good things that would happen if I got the postion. 1. The money is better. Not a whole lot but a couple dollars. 2. I would be quarenteed 40 hours a week and sometimes more which would be great. I've only been working about 30 hours a week lately. The last pay period (two week periods) I only worked six days. That's partly my fault though, I went home for a couple days.
Alrighty, well Merry Christmas everyone! Love you!

Nicole is SUPER PSYCHED for Christmas!
Yes I realize that it is way too early to be thinking about Christmas, it's not even Thanksgiving yet! But I figure that it's close enough! Anyways, the reason for this excitement that started about two hours ago is because I was looking through the Sunday ads and totally found a full size Christmas Tree for $20. Lauren and I were both super stoked because we're both going to be in the glorious Burg for most the Christmas season working. Boo. If any of ya'll want to see some real snow you can totally come and visit me though! :) I also found a good deal on Christmas lights as well. Today is a good day.
The only thing that could make today better?? Not being at work wearing this ridiculous new uniform they got us. Can you say 'White trash flight attendent with a uniform that is too big'. I can. That's right folks. I look ridiculous. Haha. I'm outsmarting the system some-what though. On weekends and once the managers leave during the week I trade out my high-heels and for flip-flops and take off the ginormous blazer. SO THERE!! I'm sticking it to the man!
You know what I'm excited for? The ugly Christmas sweater party that we're going to be having. While I have not picked out my exact sweater yet I'm sure that it will be quite itchy and VERY unattractive. In short, it's going to be awesome! Rawesome even??
Alas, while it is a very joyous season and there will be fun sweater parties it's going to be sad. Rayna is leaving after finals to go home! AHHH!! Sure, she'll visit a couple of times but then, at the beginning of February, she leaves for FRANCE for FOUR MONTHS!! Eeek! Oh yeah, I've decided that I'm going to be sad and bored without her. Terrible pain will be ensueing.
I miss soccer. I miss playing it, I miss coaching it, I miss watching it. Blah. Life without soccer sucks!

Soccer is re-entering my life and I'm overjoyed...for the most part
Roo and I are coaching a U-8 girls soccer team this fall. We've super excited but starting to get a little stressed and here's why. To show ya'll in the most efficient way I've decided to create a time-line.
1 week ago: Ray and I recieve our team roster complete with names and phone numbers of the eight girls we currently have on our team
Four days ago: We get our game information and find out that our first game is a week and a day away. Slight panick begins as it is the beginning of Labor Day weekend and thus we cannot get ahold of anyone to figure out practices, location of the fields, uniforms, etc.
Yesterday: We finally figure out what's happening with practices. We figure out a time, a place, and call all of the parents to inform them.
Today: We still have no idea what's going on with uniforms but we know that they are supposed to be provided because our team sponsor (GO WINEGARS!) is going to be providing them but when or where we pick them up from is yet unknown. We're also currently wondering why they gave us size 4 balls when for U-8 teams the playing size is 3. Weird.
Tomorrow: We have a coachs training session in which we are to learn how to properly coach a youth soccer team....just three days before our first game. I'm thinking someone's CRAZY! Today we will be creating hand-outs for the parents concerning snacks, practices, games, proper soccer-attire for the games, as well as Ray and I's background and contact info.
2 days from now: We're holding our first practice...just two days before our first game and we already know that one of the girls has never played before! AHHH!! Ray and I are both petrified!
4 days from now: Our first games. Yes, that's plural. We're having a gymborie or something like that so we have three games that day. I, probably won't be able to attend all of them because of work. Ray is going to die.
Yes, life is exciting. No, we have no idea how we're going to juggle work, soccer, and school all at once seeing as how both Rayna and I had to switch shifts just to make sure that we could both make it to the manditory coachs meeting, practice, and the games(of which I will still be missing one probably). None the less, Roo and I are still SUPER excited to be coaching the girls. The only thing that's changed is that our level of nervousness has risen almost to that of the excitement level.
Other than that life is going along smoothly. Ray, Ray's sister Leah, Lauren, Kynan and I all went to the Rodeo yesterday which was a blast although crazy hot! I think we spent as much money on water as we did on the tickets. One of the riders got attached by his bull. I would say that it was exciting except that he could have died so that's just not cool. Luckily, he's alive and well. He suffered only a sore shoulder and a cracked rib which is actually good because it looked WAY worse. They kept showing it over and over in slow motion while the doctors were checking him out until mom's actually started booing and telling them to stop showing it. That's how graphic it was. I saw my cousins, the twins, there which was weird. A rodeo is one of the last places that I expected to see them. You realize how much of a small world it is though when your cousins are at the rodeo with one of Rayna's friends from high school. Anyways.
The vendors at the rodeo are always fun. Lauren bought a belt and I bought a ring that I'm absolutely in love with. I must say that one of the vendors was truly horrifying. We walked up to one of them because we saw they had jewelry, we were casually perusing when I found what appeared to be a rack of sex rings. Yes, they were rings of people in different sex positions. And yes, you could see everything. Val, it was quite like that shop that had all of the marble carvings of people having sex except imagine that in ring form. It was quite impressive. I laughed really hard after Lauren and I practically ran away from the booth.
I definitely bought cotton candy in memory of Andrea. Andrea and I would always go to the Puyallup fair and buy a huge bag of cotton candy and somehow we would sneak it home and hide it in the hide-a-bed which was our bed while the Currier family was there. I don't know how we sneaked those ginormous bags of cotton candy into the house without our parents knowing but we did. What I find even more crazy is that we got sleep because we would wait until our parents were asleep and eat the whole bag every night.

Blargy
I hate being so transparent. It sucks. It makes me uncomfortable that people can tell what I'm thinking so easily. It gives them an unfair advantage! :) Anyways, I just had to get that off my chest.
So I've decided that this week is going to be super amazing if only for the fact that I'm hanging out with Val on Wednesday and my mommy is coming to visit me on Friday. I love my family and now that I'm working I don't get to see them enough. It's super sad. Plus Val and I are going to be doing something outdoorsie I think so that makes me really happy. The temperature is just starting to not be in the triple digits so the thought of being outside actually sounds quite pleasant!
Megsie is visiting this weekend which is proving to be an adventure but with Meghan it always is. I'm just glad that she can get along with my friends. I'm always paranoid about people from different social groups meeting. There is always the possibility of them intensely hating each other and that would be horrible! Oh paranoia...how you suck.
I'm intrigued to see what the next couple of weeks is going to hold. About 6 of my tourism friends here in the Burg are moving to Orlando within the next month in order to do internships at Disneyworld. That's going to change life drastically because they're probably the loudest, funniest people I know here at school besides Ray and I on a sugar high. :) Jeana will also be coming back from her month long visit to Europe. It's going to be an adjustment having her back. She didn't like how much I worked when I was still working part-time and now I'm fulltime and used to not having her around. That probably sounds really bad but it's the truth. I'm used to just talking to her over MySpace so it's going to take some effort at the beginning to call her. I think I'm a horrible person for saying that.
Life at work has been fun. Ray and I have become good friends with Allie at the front desk and then Stuart and Josh from F&B. I have to admit hanging out in Yakima is something that I never thought I'd do. Ray and I were so convinced that Yakima was ghetto that Stuart took us on a tour of the 'nice' part of town. But he even said that he had to give it to us during the day because the ghetto that is Yakima grows in the cover of darkness. :) What a funny, funny place. It makes me happy even if I still do think that it's so ghetto that I refuse to buy gas here because the people that run them are scary.
I've decided that work hates both Ray and I though. We have our schedule through the 19th or something like that and we only have the same day off once in those two weeks and we never once work the same shift. They're out to get us. Either that or they've cut a deal with the gas stations in Ellensburg and they're trying to get us to use more. Both are quite realistic if you ask me. :) One day they even have Ray working frmo 2-6 and me from 6-11. How sad is that?!?! I don't think they've ever scheduled a shift that short the whole time it's been Howard Johnson....which is of course only 6 months so it's not that impressive but you get the point.
Haha! The parents will be so proud. I just found out that my nickname and theme song is Mission Impossible. You might find yourself asking why. The answer? Because no matter how much guys flirt with me they never get anywhere. Thus, mission impossible. :) That's one of the funniest and saddiest things I've ever heard.
The crazy woman that lives at the hotel asked us yesterday if anyone has reported someone with a hurt arm. Allie and I thinking that it was a real person told her that we hadn't seen or heard anything. She then informed us that it was a ghost and that the pain was "two days worth". What the heck does that mean!?!? First of all, I didn't even know that ghosts could be in pain, let alone two days worth. Janet is a very, very special person. And by special I mean CRAZY!! But hey, it does provide for entertainment which is much needed when we're slow as we are right now.
Ray and I are coaching a soccer team this fall and I'm SOOOO excited. We're going to be coaching 8 year-old girls so it should be an adventure to say the least. We totally need to start playing again though or else we're really going to suck at this. Neither of us has played a real game since our senior year so I'm just guessing that we might need to work up to our prior skill level...it's just a guess though. :) If we were smart we would think up a strategy or a game plan or something I suppose...oh well, we have time.
Shucky-darn. I'm totally running out of things to say but I'm so bored that I really don't want to stop typing. It's so fun to type. It gives me something to do. Plus I just really like the clicky noise it makes me happy.
Alrighty well Toodles ya'll! Love you trucks and flowers!

Hello to everyone out there! Although no-one probably actually reads this with the frequency that I update. I figure that I'll update more starting tomorrow though because I get internet at my apartment tomorrow and since I'm living by myself I'll have more time on my hands.
It's so hard to decide what to put up on this thing. things can come back to kick you in the butt if you're not careful even if you're arent' specific and the people involved don't read the entry. That just happened to a friend of mine just today actually. She had wrote that she regretted kissing a friend of hers here at school and then today a friend from her hometown totally asked her about it in front of the friend because the girl had no idea who the entry was about. Good times in the Berg.
Life in the Berg other than that has been rather uneventful. Rayna and I have been hanging out with Jake a lot which has been a blast. Jake's a funny kid and unlike the rest of the Tourism gang that stayed in the Berg he doesn't have a job so it's nice to have someone that's available when Ray and I are. Plus, he's willing to watch soccer with us. We totally watched the final World Cup game today. Heck yes for Italy and France! Oh my gosh I cannot believe that Zidane head-butted that guy in the chest! What a crazy little turd! Who in their right mind announces their retirement from soccer(for the second time) and then in the last ten minutes of their last game fouls someone so that they get a red card. If he hadn't gotten that penalty he might have won the World Cup for France. I love both teams but I have to admit I was rooting for France just because Rayna is going to be living there this Winter.
Oh my gosh so I'm totally bored at work right now and apparently a room has a problem with a plugged toilet. All of our Housekeeping and Maintainence have gone home for the day because no guests are here. I told the woman that I could just switch her rooms and she said she'd rather go to Target and BUY a toilet plunger herself. Wow. Apparently the King Suite is really nice guys. So nice that they won't switch to another kind suite though?!? People are SO weird!
We have a woman named Janet that lives in our hotel, she's lived here for years. On Friday night Rayna and I were working the front desk when she walked down and asked Rayna if there were any rooms near hers that were the same room type. Rayna said that there was and asked why because Janet's lived in that same room for all of the years that she's stayed here. Her response was that there was a man sleeping on her bed because he was having back problems, apparently his back problems were brought on by not eating enough fruit. When Rayna asked what the man's name was (baffled that someone had gotten into her room) Janet responded that he was a ghost and that's how he'd gotten in because her bed was especially nice. How Rayna did it I don't know, but with a straight face she gave her the numbers of two empty rooms down the hall from Janet's room. Rayna's my hero especially for starting laughing until we heard Janet's door close again. People in Yakima are CRAZY!! We're actually unsure how Janet is actually alive. She doesn't leave her room except to look at the headlines in that mornings paper. We don't know what she eats but we decided that she must have been stealing food from the ghost. She did say, after all, that his back problems were brought on by lack of eating. :)
that's all for now but I do have four hours left to my shift and only one more check-in. Toodles all ya'll!

A quickie update!
Today has been fabulous. It's Thursday so it's my long day but the weather was just about perfect! Although not completely sunny it was warm enough to only kinda need a light jacket. I was SUPER stoked!
Officially only a week left of school left! Yikes!! It's funny because it always feels like you have forever until school's over and then all of the sudden you have a week left. Where HAS the time gone?!?!? I think I'm getting old. You remember when you were like five and your parents used to tell you appreciate how slow life was going because once your old time moves way too fast? I always laughed at my mom when she told me that...I'm such a horrible child. Oh well, Mom, I'm admitting that you were right. You have been right for some time now!
I don't know if you guys know or not but I'm staying here in Ellensburg for the summer and I'm actually really excited about it [when I'm not crying from missing you fabulous people of course! ;)]. I'm excited to work, live here on my own, and experience a REAL summer! And no, we do not have real summers on the West-Side. Bring on the heat baby!
Alrighty well I should say toodles because I gots to leave in ten minutes for class. YAY for only one more late class after this one! Heck yes for no more long Thursdays! I love ya'll and hopefully I'll get to see ya'll around this summer!
Officially only a week left of school left! Yikes!! It's funny because it always feels like you have forever until school's over and then all of the sudden you have a week left. Where HAS the time gone?!?!? I think I'm getting old. You remember when you were like five and your parents used to tell you appreciate how slow life was going because once your old time moves way too fast? I always laughed at my mom when she told me that...I'm such a horrible child. Oh well, Mom, I'm admitting that you were right. You have been right for some time now!

Practicum SUCKS!!
Blargy. It was my first day of practicum today and I'm already dreading it. My boss/advisor guy is so nice but I constantly want to yell at him STOP TALKING ABOUT NOTHING AND GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DO THAT I UNDERSTAND!!! ....but that would be mean.
Other than that frustrating fact life is going along quite well. It was fabulously nice this morning which was nice. I think Lauren even wore capris, too bad it's Ellensburg weather so it's raining now. HAHA!!
Life is good but I've decided that since I have the guitar here I should play it sometimes. I can't help it if I don't actually like people to HEAR me play though...right?!?!?
You know how people have food cravings and you can't get rid of them until you'd eaten it?? Well that's how I feel about bowling, I really want to go but everyone here is too busy or else doesn't want to go. Any volunteers??? :)
Toodles ya'll!!
