white christmas in portland

it's the most snow portland has seen in december since 1968. i couldn't get to work for 3 days, as the city doesn't salt the roads and apparently owns 2 plows. here's what we did during ian's naptime. 

it's almost like i brought the weather with me when i moved...

this is a quarterly blog....or maybe more

i have really been remiss in posting since i've been in pdx. what a terrible example i am setting for my 2 readers.

things that have happened since i've moved:

*started my job (which is going swimmingly)
*been tickled pink everytime i see a mountain
*done some work on the house
*read some good books
*beginning to take baby steps toward living a healthier life
*made some friends
*M had the baby!! 8.19.08
*hanging with bug
*hosting lots of visitors

doesn't seem like much, but boy, it's kept me occupied. so, due to the urging of certain bloggers and other parties which you can blame later, i will work more at keeping this writing going and really letting you know what's going on with me out west.

i'll get right on that.

inconcievable!

more graph humor and song chart memes

my god i've landed!

i know it's been forever and all that, but i made it out here and am acclimating nicely. i will post pictures and give more details later. why not now? because i won't have my computer set up for a while, plus i'm a lazy git.

schnucks knows whats up

the most delicious cake ever!

sarah & shushan's BBQs rock.

nostalgia sets in early

things i will miss when i'm out west:

family
friends
newly planted cornfields
wide streets
random idiocity from local college students (some kid mooned me out of a car window the other day while driving)
personal time (once the bambino comes)
certain regulars at work
my vinyl collection

the other side of how it's going down

M is now posting on her own blog about the pregnancy and what it's like on her side of things. if you're interested, you can read about it here.
