My name is Koffee and this is my first blog ever so please bare with me. I know I should write something interesting, but I don't know if my life is really going to be that interesting to anyone else. I have been dealing with a lot lately that a few of the wonderful folks on the late night chat know about. I am divorced, I have been laid off from my job(permanently), I am in love with a man (I'll call him Harley) who does not love me, but still sleeps with me (and his "friend" who I'll call O) once on a while, and I have a "friend with benefits" (I'll call him Yano) that keeps me sane in between times with Harley. Anyhow, my sanity is in jeapordy. Yano has decided that our friendship will no longer include the "benefits". I feel like I am at my wits end. I have no job offers yet. My severance pay will run out the 15th of October. I am going mad in a house all alone every night. And now I don't even have that special time with Yano to look forward to. And I have been drinking more than I used too so I'm sure that isn't a good thing. But I want to thank my friends here for putting up with me and listening to be bitch about my crappy life. Koffee out...

Tomorrow I leave to go home for vacation! Well, it's a "vacation" from paid work to go home to help with harvest. I always take the week that Mom starts school off to go home and be harvest cook and gopher, and occasional truck driver. I LOVE going home. In a perfect world that's where I'd be. Don't get me wrong, I have a good job that I enjoy with a great boss and coworkers. But it's not where my heart is. I've been living in this town for 9 years (13 if you count going to college), and I still don't consider it home. Unfortunately, financial considerations dictate that that's how it's going to be for a while. (Unless one of y'all wants to marry me and take over the farm? I'm a good cook, but a horrible mechanic. Me and machinery don't get along too well. Kind of a drawback for being a farmer. :crap: But cows and I get along very well together. Well, unless they're Angus. Red Angus are okay, but I'm not very fond of the black ones. Okay, tangent over.) The point is, I'm going home for ten wonderful days! And as we only have a dial-up connection at home that ties up the phone line, I probably won't be around here very much. And I won't miss you at all! :tongue: Well, yes I will, but I'll be having a good time.

Well, a whole lotta blogs ago I talked about this first grader that my wife observed at the school she'll be teaching at this school year. Now, just to recap, Mrs. Outlaw just got her credential and is also teaching second grade. She came home raving to me about this student who is a dead-ringer for River! Right down to the making pencils talk to each other and wearing of combat boots. Well, second grade starts on Tuesday and the missus got her class list the other day. Yup, this girl's on it! :D Now, I won't even give away her name or anything...just politeness and all, but even syllabically it matches up with ri-ver Tam! So yesterday she gets home from work and tells me she has a surprise. I oddly ask if it's in her pants, she says yes, but it's not what I instantly thought! She was given "River's" ID card from last year to give back to her parents, so I got to see it. She totally looks like River! The hair...yup. The face...kinda. I know Mrs. Outlaw will take some pictures throughout the year. I will be very interested to see the other similarities. So long as she doesn't start reading minds in class, however, it's all good.

What is it with weddings that bring out the evil in people, now my brother, has always been arrogant, big headed and generally unlikeable. if he was in a room of 20 people he is the one you would hear above all others... So now some woman has agreed to marry him, my feelings towards her shall remain unspoken, for now But this wedding is going to give my poor mother heart failure. Scott is so ungrateful and unthinking, firstly she has made the wedding cake, including making all the iceing flowers and sprays etc, its stunning, my brothers reaction, 'well its better than i thought it would be I suppose' I have never been so shocked in my life.... He has continued in this im going to be an arse kind of way over my children and their roles in this wedding. Chloe is to be bridesmaid. which is fine, beautiful dress, lovely shoes, stunning, scott although seems to forget chloe has CHD and only has half a working heart, cannot walk very far, and needs to sit down or she will fall down. he tried banning me from bringing her wheelchair, told me she was going to HAVE to walk down the aisle and stand behind them until the hours ceremony is over, then stand around for another 2 hours for photos. you can imagine my reply to this. it had swear words in it and was a round about way of saying, as if!! He is insisting that she comes to julies house on the morning of the wedding to get dressed, but im not allowed to stay around, so basically i have to drop her off in a house full of strangers who have no idea why this little girl might suddenly go blue and need to sit down. he is also insisting that i go up a day early, drive 2 hours to get to our hotel, then drive another 30 minutes to the church so chloe can be at the rehersal, all this after school. she dosnt need to be at the rehearsal! then we get to alex, who they havnt even bothered to hire a suit for, and refused my offer of hire for him. they got him a shirt and trousers, and want him to be an usher. alex now is left wondering why he is the only male without a suit, and i cant help but wonder the same thing, but of course scott is very evasive when i ask. I know this is his wedding day, but does he have to be so unreasonable all the time, im also taking our grandparents, who are very very old and he is expecting them to wait around afterwards for photos, without chairs. Im stressed out, he had my mother in tears over this rehersal business. I know he wants it to be a perfect day, but nothing is ever perfect and sometimes you have to accomodate other peoples needs and think of someone other than yourself. im seriously considering not even going at all. Im going to stop now before i bust an artery myself. Oh add to the fact he told me what I would and would not wear to his wedding, now that bugged me. ive got a suitably disgusting wedding type outfit that i hate, that he will surely love. but you know, ive still got time to customise it with some punkish accessories.
