I realized today how quickly time has been passing by the fact that it has been a month since I posted last and it feels like just last week.   During college I always thought that the years flew by,and I attributed that to the academic description of a year, but now that I'm out in the "real" world I feel like time is flying by even faster ( Read more... )

I spent the afternoon with Natalie and her extended family.  There was plenty of yummy food and the best part of it all was that I got to eat a meal with more than one item.

I know I have stated it before, but I am absolutely in love with Powell books.  I was there a day or two ago writing down a few new recipes from cookbooks when on my way out ( Read more... )

I'm really tired and I feel angsty.  It's been around for the past couple of days, and I find myself being pissed off at everything.  I was upset today because I spent $0.25 on a dryer that didn't work right at the laundromat.   I got upset at a couple of customers today and didn't give them very good service because they were being greedy with the ( Read more... )

You know you are from Michigan if you read this joke, understand it, and find it funny:

Some days I feel like shit.
Today is one of those days.
Some days I feel inadequate
Today is also one of those days.
Some days I wish I were normal
But what is normal?

I have hot water in my shower finally after 2 months!

Life is good, and I'm going to go take a steamy shower. :)

I accomplished something today and it feels really good.  I hiked up to the top of Multnomah Falls with Natalie.  The sign at the viewpoint said that it was a mile up to the top and last time I was there I thought I could do that with no problems.  Only a mile right?  Well it was the most difficult mile of my life.  When you are like me and come ( Read more... )

I don't know what happened to me last night, but I finally found my muse. I have been wanting to start writing since I arrived in Oregon, but every time I tried I didn't move anywhere. But then when I decided to start again last night the floodgates opened. I stayed up writing until my eyelids could not possibly stay open for another moment ( Read more... )
