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.

i got an offer!

which is such a relief. i'll be working for the bookstore, and probably waiting tables. i'm excited as my new boss seems like she's very people oriented and has runs a tight ship, and it's a much busier store than i'm used to. but mostly i'm just thrilled that i'll be freaking employed. eating is very important to me.

the time frame is a fast turnaround. i report to work out there June 1. so that means my last day of work here is the 21st, and i'm hoping to leave town by the 24th. my mom is going to drive out there with me, which will be good and also filled with bickering i'm sure. i'm going to invest in audio books and earplugs. for her sake and mine. i wonder if we can get an announcement on the emergency broadcast system to warn anyone w/in a 100sq mile radius from where we'll be.
