I guess it’s kind of been a while. Lots of stuff happened. I’m taking a business class and might attempt to start a small website business in the fall. Pretty fun. I’m also a substitute librarian at the main library here in Portland. I’m super excited about this one. It’s torture and wonder to work in a place so full…

Why getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me.
A couple of months ago, I got fired from a crappy corporate job. I was in shock at first; very upset with myself. I had never been let go before in my life. I was the one still at my desk when others went for a smoke. I had tried (even when I didn’t like it), I had tried! I…

Moments
Do you ever find that the best moments, the most enjoyable discussions, and the shared laughter in secret talks are the ones you want to keep the closest? I do.
fates
image by seinong on flickr i’ve been considering a few things lately, but primarily fate and whether or not it is real, or made up in our own minds. the dictionary says that “fate” is something that unavoidably befalls a person. that is, something that will happen to you regardless of what you do, something out of your control. i wonder if this means that rather…

a walk in the park
i took this on sunday when nick&i went for a walk in the park. the sky was gorgeous (it didn’t feel like winter… sad!) and so was the weather, though it was a bit cold. we discovered a really awesome playground we will most likely go back to when it’s too dark for other people to be there. fun! 🙂…
a little bit about being young but not really, and things to do in 2012
i’m on the far right. 3 middle siblings on the left, before the small boys were born. * my momma is sending me a package. i’m pretty excited. yes, i’m nearly 23 and i call her “momma” but frankly i don’t care and i will likely call her that until i die. in any case, i don’t feel almost 23.…
january 3
well, well. here we are and it’s january. a new year. wow. i don’t even really know what to think of that, or how to process it. so here’s a nice picture of a snow covered mountain, and more wishes for snow. how am i supposed to be a winter lady if there’s no winter around here? what the heck,…

hockey
so last night we went to a hockey game. specifically, the portland pirates versus the providence bruins. although the bruins had a super interesting and coordinated way of playing, they lost because the pirates were too quick. it was a lot of fun- my first hockey game ever. now i kind of want to go again. i really enjoyed it including…
