Scratch that whole trying to wear more dresses thing. I decided today after doing laundry and not being able to cram the insane amount of clothing I have into drawers/hung in the closet (and I left a lot of clothes at home!) that I'm not going to buy any unneeded clothing for one year. So basically all I'm going to allow myself to buy are shoes, ( Read more... )

So I've heard the Oregon drivers test is tricky, so I figured I'd read through the manual at least once to refresh my mind on laws and such and I found it to be HILARIOUS. For example, you should know that it is illegal to join a funeral procession you are not originally a part of ( Read more... )

Well, I got a job today. It's a new restaurant/cafe that is opening in a suburb of Portland. It's only about 10 miles away from my apartment, but the road to get there has pretty bad traffic like ALL THE TIME. It's OK though. I'll live. I'm happy to have a found a job for the time being. The pay isn't great, but it's enough for me to live a nice ( Read more... )

I still don't have a job, but it's OK. I'm not panicking yet. I had an interview on Thursday and I feel like it went pretty well except the fact that they were interviewing people all day, so I feel like someone with more experience will be chosen over me ( Read more... )

I bought a bed. It's nothing spectacular, and yes, it's used. I had a hard time overcoming this, but I just could not stand the thought of paying 500 or MORE in most cases for a bed. I went to ikea and tested out all the relatively cheap mattresses and they just were not all that comfortable and when I figured out the ones I would like plus the ( Read more... )

So I decided to walk to the downtown area today. I figured, what the heck...I have nothing better to do, so why drive? It's only 2 and a half miles! Well, it was fine until I had to cross this massive bridge. I knew I had to cross a bridge, but I guess I didn't think that it would be an issue until I was halfway across it and the max or a bus or ( Read more... )

I'm in Portland. I didn't have internet for a while and didn't feel like dragging my laptop to a coffee shop or other wifi place. I got here Saturday afternoon and moved all my stuff into my little apartment. It's pretty nice. I haven't had any horribly loud neighbors yet, even though I live on a pretty major street, so it's sort of noisey outside ( Read more... )

You guys know I change my mind every day, right ( Read more... )

I am bored. If you didn't figure that out from the title.
