Kirie aka Ginger — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 02:30:15 GMT

so a few have caught on and I have talked to a few personally.. but I have been really busy and unable to contact you all so by popular demand here is the low down.... or Eric aka Saturn asked me on December 16th if I would marry him... SURPRISE!!!! and I said yes.... I spent quite a time in shock and even asked him if he was serious of even drunk where he told me if he had to ask again he would take it back... so yes the girl and guy who did not want to be married are doing it... to everyone ones surprise and delight... the date is November 9th... this is a Sunday... and we will keep you all informed... so send on you addresses and number so we can prepare... there has been lots of other things going on and most of which is posted in picture form on my Myspace sight so if you want to see lots of picks go there... other then that we have been really busy and just trying to prepare for the next step in our lives together ... hell I never thought I would say that with such a smile on my face.... so, thank you to the support of the ones that know and to the ones who are to find out.... we are not sure if there will be any type of party to fully state it but we could if it is popularly demanded (maybe philly and Pittsburgh .... I here there is a Pittsburgh house party to be had some time soon) and from there much love to you all and this would be my update .... I will try to do better in to future to keep up with you all kisses G aka Kirie

mexico with the help of mom...

Kirie aka Ginger — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 04:26:20 GMT

So this is via mom with a few inserts... pictures to come... "Yup. First we were in Pittsburgh. Then the big bird machine took us to Houston, which is in Texas. This used to be a Mexican place but we took it away and now it’s an American place with the Mexicans still trying to take it back. Next we flew to Villahermosa, which is in Tobasco. (not an exciting area, way to much city pollution but the zoo is really nice, great big cats also a really pretty church) Not the sauce but the city. Then we drove through the mountains(side note really great views really worth doing and wonderful water falls) to Ciudad De San Cristobal, which is in Chiapas. (great little city really shows what things are like... must check out the church on the top of the hill (or all churches in general) wonderful view and a great place to buy amber the markets are wonderful to and they have an interesting bull fight ) Want to go back here just to do more of the town as we did not see all of it and it was great. The first set of Ruinas we went to was Tonina. (really pretty if you drive up to it it kinda jumps out of the mountain at you nice starter for stretching your legs) The place built into a hillside with the nice little museo in Spanish that no one could understand but your Daddy. Went from there on to Palenque, where we got lost for the third time. Remember the cops helping us get out of a little town on the way? (this was really funny we made a wrong turn and you could tell they where worried for our safty so the cops helped us out of town aka took a 10 mile detour to get us to the right place) Went to the ruinas at Palenque,(a must see and remember to bring in money there is so interesting shopping inside and the guy sell stones out side has some good stuff the waterfalls hear are unlike any I have seen and go off the beaten trail where you can) then on to Bonampak, (wonderful this is the place to see ruins still in color not impressive buildings but the colors are great ... ohh and the have a small personal plane that flys in and out neat to see. not a shopping place and the bus thing is strange and scary but not to worry) where we took a “bus?”, to the ruins. We then decided to visit Yachitlan (this is so worth it scary little city don't stop but the river ride worth every part... the ruinas bring a flash light to see the first walk threw.. and this is the place to really see great intact pieces... ohhh my god really great stuff and hick up the steps to everything really worth it) with a great river boat ride on a Panga. Back to Palenque and a stay at Chan Ka resort ( nice place to stay great for relaxing in the jungle really hard to get into though book way in advance). This, on a highway we weren’t supposed to drive on after dark. (Military checkpoints) Then back to Villahermosa and a side trip to the ruins made out of brick in Troque(interest being that the building are out of hand made brick and wonderful for lizards) ? Not sure right now of the right name. Reversed trip back to the states. so if you are going to Mexico in the future I would say drive it (get insurance) but really see it all this was great thanks to my mom setting it up....

where to start...

Kirie aka Ginger — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 15:48:06 GMT

the pic helps that is how i feel most days after work... thanks patches for helping to express these things... any who yes I am in philly... really on the outside edge and all I really do is go to work 5days a week including saturday and work on things at home to get this place together... so days I feel really tired and others I don't know what to do with the free time... I do know one thing I miss my friends... Em I miss you leaving down stairs and just knowing you are there... where my burritos !!!! Tiffany I just miss girlly nights of chatter while our boys blow something up.... really what it comes down to is I work with woman that are 4 to 30 years older then me they are all married they all have kids and most of those kids are my age... that is really strange and I have very little in common with these people. so I need to look for another job... I need to find a belly dance place this lack of doing things is getting to me. but I know it is to save up for our next trip... Germany here we come... but between know and then I want to spend more time with friends... so I am really looking forward to st patricks day... great friends for te weekend and lots of out fun time... I will post pics after that there will be lots to show knowing this group... but to all that care I miss many of you Philly is treating me ok at the time Eric is being his normal wonderful self and I would not be able to do this all without him... and a big thanks to my family (and that includes ALL who where there, you do not have to be blood to be family) who helped me move and my cats that keep me from going crazy at home alone on mondays. so hello and I will try to post more

thanks to many...

Kirie aka Ginger — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 00:28:32 GMT

I talked with my soon to be new boss today and set up my first meeting with her.. I spent the early part of the week helping my sister buy expensive art as a gift and it was strange to say Yes I am a designer and would like to be on your mailing list who knows when your merchandise will come into play...STRANGE... but from here I go to work tomorrow and finish packing to head off somewhere in Mexico with my mom and dad and we will see who comes back alive it will be interesting... so again thank you all for your time and help see you all soon.

read this and wanted to share

Kirie aka Ginger — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 23:06:56 GMT

It kinda makes a point that I think everyone of use could really learn something from and couls really help to better ourselves and the ways we look at things... I see a few things even I am going to think differently about... A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package: "This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package." He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box. "She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never pu t it on, was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothings he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died. He turned to me and said: "Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion". I still think those words changed my life. Now I read more and clean less. I sit on the porch without worrying about anything. I spend more time with my family, and less at work. I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through. I no longer keep anything. I use crystal glasses every day.. I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if i feel like it. I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to. The words "Someday..." and "One Day..." are fading away from my dictionary. If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now. I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell. I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends. She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite food. It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come. I would regret it, because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, letters... that I wanted to write "One of these days". I would regret and feel sad, because I didn't say to my brother and sisters, son and daughters, not times enough at least, how much I love them. Now, I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives.. And, on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day.. Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

good weekend off...

Kirie aka Ginger — Mon, 17 Apr 2006 17:33:14 GMT

finally thanks to my wonderful Eric I got to have a real weekend off. instead of working, moving, school, or the 10,000 other things I do I got to go to philly and just relax. thursady was a great dinner of mussels and beer. friday was a great bs day with his family and then off to meet him for lunch and then relaxing and causeing great silliness at his work. we then where off to more great food and to a show of Gypsy punk band that was so great and gave me so many ideas for pennsic I can not wait to share with all. ohh and we got to see val and berry and walter (nice to meet you guys and happy b-day again) saturday was fam in the morning and then off to the museum for Andrew Wyeth and lot smore to see. as always we ran out of time and will just have to go back... isn't taht always the way with museums. the rest of the evening was dinner at his parents and relaxing. sunday as easter brings lots of food and a long drive home the evening was finished with a qick impromptu dinner and missed tv shows... alll and all a great weekend and the refreshing thing I needed. Thanks again baby...

Kirie aka Ginger — Fri, 06 Jan 2006 01:15:44 GMT

well what to say other than I guess we are all back to the daily grind of things for awhile... over all I had a great two weeks... the first was spent in philly taking care of eric threw his surgery. it went well and he was a trooper threw and threw.. from there back to pittsburgh for some fun lovin days of work... (3) and then back to parents in winchester where eric meet up with me and spent the week. there was lots of gun shooting, paintballing, movie watching and lots of drinking (it was the holidays after all) we had a great time with friends at the bar for new years and really just keep things low key... thank to all that where there.. and thanks eric for a fun lovin two weeks...

question???

Kirie aka Ginger — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 04:48:50 GMT

so also in our insanity Vera and i where wondering: Is it really true that if you witness your roommate dieing that you automatically pass. if so is it just that class or do they just give you your degree and send you out the door.... any thoughts on this???

ahhh finals...

Kirie aka Ginger — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 04:41:00 GMT

so as another quarter comes to an end... I ask myself why the fuck do I put things off... my apartment is a sea of interior designers barf... both my roomate and I are going to be finalizing our projects by pulling all nighters till thursday... but I have to say it is the insanity of being in school and just never really having enough time to finish anything. The only thing that has been my savings grace was the greatly needed help of Eric. he spent the weekend wrapping fabrics, working on logos, helping with color choices and overall keeping a girl from pulling the last of her hair out. Thank you sweet heart I may actually get one night of sleep between now and thursday thanks to you. ohh and the other image for all you people is the idea of 2 large dogs, 3 cats, Vera and her husband and myself and Eric all cramped up in our little apartment surrounded by all that interior design barf.... yes people it has been a zoo around here. hope to pull myself out from under it by the weekend signing out help it chasing me to the bathroom!!!!!! pictures later when we develop them....

sorry

Kirie aka Ginger — Wed, 30 Nov 2005 23:29:53 GMT

just sending a quick sorry to many of you.... as most of you know it is finals and I will not be the easiest person to reach for the 2 weeks.... nothing personal just really busy and pushing really hard to get shit done... but I will be out and partying with you all at mavi's because it will all be done then and I wii be able to crawl out of apartment into the world again... till the sun shines again....

life is good...

Kirie aka Ginger — Tue, 29 Nov 2005 16:25:17 GMT

so heres to another great weekend... time was spent with both families and that went well... but the best part was the time we spent together in Philly... just some good old fashioned relaxing and lots of movies... it was just what the doctor ordered... so yes to some we are ranking with Killian and L but hey this is the first real mushy expresion of it.... so sorry guys (not really) anyway raise your glasses to great weekends....

so my roomate decided I needed a picture...

Kirie aka Ginger — Sun, 20 Nov 2005 17:07:09 GMT

I wake up this morning for vera asking for a smokey treat in exchange for what she created in referance to last night.... after looking at this picture which is almost exactly what this guy looked like..... you really will get a better idea of what I was bitching about.... don't worry everyone I know these people are everwhere.... and not everyone is that way but shit....

what the fuck...

Kirie aka Ginger — Sun, 20 Nov 2005 06:41:54 GMT

so we all wonder why the fuck you don't go to parties haveing to deal with school.... well let me tell you tonight is the reason... I dealt with your traditional white trash pittsburgh mother fucker that does not take "get your fucken hands off my waist" as an answer.... so this asshole decided that I was the girl to hit on and tried to wrap himself around me... YES I told him hands off I got a boy and am not interested.... but that did not even work.... so after Vera and I went off on this guy and told him where to stick it.... we had to leave because i was going to beat the ever loven shit out of this mother fucker... I really hate pittsburgh men.... you all know the type.. and i have to ask who the hell fucks this type of boy... hell baby mom is one trashy whore... why do we have to deal with this shit... and it all started with a trashy fuck head that has to make stuff shitty..... I really am an angry girl when it comes to this shit but I could not blow up because I was invited by my roomamte to her friends birthday party.. this is not the time to go the fuck off on people ... so I have to be nice why the fuck do people have to work this way.....
