I wish.....

If I win the lottery, I'm going on a huge fat shopping spree at anthropologie....



This polka dot dress and the sweater on the bottom center, together, would be over $400. hmph. I need a sewing machine.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

So, Yesterday I sat on my couch ALL. DAY. LONG. Why? I was waiting for comcast to come set up our cable. First off, I didn't know until that morning that they were coming. Second, they said they would be there between 2-6pm. Now, I have, for the most part, had a good experience with comcast. They usually seemed to arrive early, and finish promptly, this was NOT the case yesterday. I called customer service around 4:30, just to get an ETA, but they couldn't give me one...ok whatever, that's fine. I just didn't want to waste my saturday. around five forty-five I'm getting antsy, still no call/no-show. At 6pm I call customer service again and explain my situation, they said, we it says here that they changed your appointment from 2-6, from 8am-8pm..WHAT! Okay, well what are my options? She said to wait until 8, they put out a "ticket" to the field supervisor to come out to our house, and the supervisor should call me by 7pm she said. 7:15pm rolls around.... still no call. So, I call customer service again. The representative tells me, "the technician noted your account and said you weren't at home when he came to install." By then I was livid. " I have been home AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL DAY LONG ON A BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY! I haven't left my fricken couch at all, I have just been sitting here waiting for the cable guy! "She then asked me, what color is your door?" I erspond to her "white, I live in an apartment complex, all of the doors are the same color." The only thing she could tell me is wait until about 8 o'clock and if they don't show up then they can reschedule my appointment for august 1st. Um, no thanks.


That pretty much ruined my whole day. Stupid comcast. Thankfully, they ended up waving our installation fee and credited our account $40.00, and they are coming out first thing monday morning. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend comcast to ANYBODY, I think once our promotion is over I'm switching to Wave broadband (a local cable/internet company.)

Comcast review= 1.5 stars, and two big fat thumbs down.

P.s. Sorry about all of the grammatical errors/ misspelling I'm not wearing my contacts or glasses and my inability to see hinders me from doing things correctly.

Quote[s] of the week....

1. Jessica [talking to Matt]- If I write a resume can you print it out for me at work? I want to apply at Walmart

2. [Walking around the waterfront looking for a spot to watch the fireworks]
Jessica- Is that Mount Rainier?
Maisie [my neighbor]- No, that is a tent.

I can't wait....

To move back to Oregon.
There are so many reasons why it will be amazing.
Here are my top 5 reasons:
5. Burgerville. Every other fast food restaurant is disgusting (to me. Except for taco bell of course!) Plus, all of the ingredients are local to the NW :)
4. I won't have to pass in the right lane anymore.
3. Mt. Hood ( although, I will truly miss the Olympic Mountains!)
2. Friends!
1. Family. 'nuf said.

I will miss Washington though!
Here are the 5 reasons I will miss Silverdale:
5. Grocery shopping at the waterfront farmers market and then walking to the bakery for fresh whole wheat bread.
4. Being so close to the water.
3.The Olympic Mountains
2. Playing the License plate game and finding super cool license plates.
1. Monica's waterfront bakery. The most delicious food ever.


I can't wait to be back in Oregon, but I know I will miss where we are right now, So, I'm just trying to be content and enjoy the time we have up here :)


P.S. Today, we have been married for 9 months :)

young and foolish?

very often I feel judged because I'm married at 21 years old. I get treated this way by people my age, people older than me, and pretty much everyone else in between. Marriage is difficult, and I know I'm still young and that I'm still growing and changing, but aren't we all everchanging? You never stop changing. I decided to get married at 20 so I can start builing my life foundation with my husband now, rather than us building two separate foundations and then try to merge them together. I want to grow and change with my husband. There will always be things you don't necessarily like about your spouse, and that is at every age. It doesn't matter how old or young you are. Our first year of marriage has been... eventful, we have been through so much, for the most part I think we have handled it pretty well. It has by no means been easy, but I don't think that being older would have made it any easier, and I think we made the right decision getting married so young.

P.S. Please everyone in the world, call me Mrs. Miller, not Ms. Miller. It gets a little annoying :)

Goodbye is never easy.

I was hoping our life would settle down, but that just isn't the way that life is. Yesterday I had to drive down to Oregon to say goodbye to Theo, I had no clue we were going to have to put him down. I never thought the day would come, or at least not so soon. Theo was the best cat ever. I know everyone says that about their cats, but he truly was. I like to say he was the one boy I could always count on. He never wanted anything from me except to be loved (and fed lol). When I lived at Matt's parent house he would sleep in my room almost every night. He would usually wake me up in the middle of the night to leave the room, but the next morning he would be right outside my door waiting for me. He would get extremely jealous of matt and I. If Matt and I were sitting on the couch together he would come and squeeze himself in right between us. I remember when Matt came home for the first time since he had left for the military and we were sitting on the couch, Theo just sat across the room glaring at Matt. Losing Theo has broken my heart in a way that makes it hard for me to express. I feel so silly being so sad about a cat, but he was more than a pet, he was apart of our family. Whenever I was sad Theo could always make me feel better, he would just sit on my lap and comfort me. Sadly, I will never have that same feeling of comfort ever again, but I will always cherish it. I love you Theodore Beaver Schmiedeskamp.

lifestyle change.

Today is day three of what I would like to call a "lifestyle change". I haven't gained very much weight at all since getting married, but whenever I see pictures of myself I look fat. I have quit working out and have become addicted to taco bell. Well, now it is time to change that. I want to start eating healthier again and working out regularly. Today is day three of our lifestyle change, and so far I have done really well :) I will let you know how our change goes and if we are seeing any results,I'm hoping to notice some change in the next few weeks. Anyways, drink lots of water and stay hydrated during this heat wave!

xoxo,
Jessica
