Day in the City


So...I went into Portland today with my roomie/bestie. We saw this little park in the middle of the city and they had these cool little elephant statues and I just had to take a photo. 

Aren't they cool? 


This was our second/final stop of the day. Seriously, these donuts may not look so good, but believe me, they are so worth the 10 minute wait. Ask for a Voodoo Dozen. :-)

And the crowning moment of the whole trip into the city...


well...I guess you can't really tell, but we spent the most of our time in Powell's City of Books. This is a photo out of the 3rd floor window of the Pearl section - photography/coffee/art room.

Powell's City of Books is seriously the biggest bookstore I have ever seen in my whole life. F O U R floors of 12 foot tall bookshelves on every subject you could possibly think of. It was seriously heaven on earth for me. I could have spent all day in there. 

Anyway...

spring is here. kind of. The weather here has been bi-polar. Sunny for five minutes. Rain for 10 minutes that turned into hail which turned into snow. Seriously so tired of this weather. I really can't wait for sunshine and warm weather to be here. I can't wait to be able to go to the beach this summer!

It's Okay to Be Sad

I'm sitting in my room nursing a 7-up because I ate too much cheese with my dinner. Being lactose sensitive, edging on completely intolerant, totally sucks. Sometimes dairy doesn't bother my stomach too much, but I guess eating cheese on a completely empty stomach wasn't the greatest idea but damn, that artichoke and spinach cheese dip was delicious. Was it worth it in the end? Meh..I could go either way at the moment. I just had a memory pop up of my first swig of raw cow milk. It was delicious and totally didn't make my stomach hurt. Anyhow, at lot has been swirling around my brain as of late. Here is a bullet list of the swirling mess: When I left UVU a little over 10 years ago, my GPA was a 1.95. When I came back in the fall I had to fill out a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) report thing to 1.) get my financial aid released, and 2.) promise to get a C or better for the remainder of my time at UVU. Well, I barely got a D in sociology 1010 class in the fa...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...

Reasons

So, you remember from the last post when I said things were "a-changin'"? Well, they are. I'm moving to Hillsboro, Oregon. ETA: November 1st, but probably November 4th so I can at least finish the pay period instead of leaving in the middle of it. Anyway, here's a quick list of things I bet you didn't know about Hillsboro: *It's near the ghost town of Idiotville, Oregon. Real place. Wiki or google it. *What Draper, Utah is to SLC is exactly what Hillsboro is unto Portland. Almost the same place. *Has AMAZING parks and waterfalls. *All voting is done by mail. Secretly, I'm a little bummed about not getting a "I voted" sticker. Okay, so I could only really think of 4 things that you might not have known about Hillsboro or the surrounding area. Oregon as a state though, is pretty dang fantastic. I'll finally be able to partake in the Goonie-for-the-day festivities in Astoria. While there are many reasons why I'm moving away, the main rea...
