Leap.

End of the hiatus

Aargh! I hate comment spam. I haven't posted in a really long time, and I haven't even looked at this site in ages, and then when I do I find comment spam. So irritating. Oh, well.

Exciting find of the week!

This week I spent a day with my Mom running errands and hanging out. It was a pretty fun day. We did some shopping. Anyone who has been to my parents' house knows that my mother collects honey pots. She finds these at antique shops and yard sales, and sometimes at the goodwill. So while we were out and about we stopped at the goodwill to look for honey pots. We didn't find any, but I did find something that absolutely blows my mind. I saw a little clear packet lying on one of the shelves among the old vases and cracked cups. I had to look again because there was something shiny in the packet which I couldn't identify. I wish I hadn't. I wish I had kept walking because contemplating how someone could come to think that this, or I should say these things should go to the goodwill has taken up way too much of my time this week. Anyway, what was it? It was pasties. Not the cornish food product but the small sparkly things that attach to the round squishy things. So the questions that have been idly floating around my head this week are: Who cleans out their closet and thinks "Jeez I don't need these anymore, maybe they should go to the thrift shop"? Is there a person out there who goes to the goodwill and finds $2 pasties and thinks they've hit the jackpot? You know there is. Just in case that person is you, it was the Forest Grove GW and they were near the dishes.

Last weekend I:

1. Failed to go camping.
2. Was terrorized by bats.
3. Saw two movies.
4. Drove through a forest fire.
5. Drove through the Hood to Coast.

Update: The Re-Return

I am now completely sure that I am making the right move. It has taken me more time to post my new address on the old blog than it did to create this one.

The Re-Return

I have learned this summer that internet activity really has to be streamlined when you live on a dial-up connection. I've become really good at hoarding all of my web searches and doing them all at once while also watching tv or reading a book. I've had to let go of a lot of the old sites I used to check in with regularly and I have cut back dramatically on visiting my favorite blogs. I have also stopped posting to my blog because I can never remember my login info when I find a faster connection somewhere else, and because I just can't put up with all of the extra time it takes for the bells and whistles to load when I am at home. I don't need bells and whistles if they keep me from blogging. In an attempt to make dial-up life easier I am switching to this site from my old site. I hope everyone catches on. Welcome!
