My friends and I have been waiting since February for the Sex & The City movie. Tonight was opening night! We bought our tickets two nights ago, as the movie times were all sold out in downtown Portland. I could only find tickets at Cinetopia, a theater catered to adults 21 and over, [...]

I had an interesting conversation this evening with a neighbor. She’s a middle aged woman with short, cropped, wispy blonde hair, and she’s very tall. She’s super stylish with her funky black framed glasses and chic clothes. She walks with such confidence.
This evening I met her on the sidewalk walking her two Jack Russell terriers. We [...]

It’s really weird. I’ve been waking up so groggy, probably not getting enough sleep. Another thing I need to work on.
I had a very productive day at work and managed to get ahead with a project I have been working on for awhile. I haven’t been sure about how I wanted to post [...]

I woke up very groggy this morning. I was still somewhat congested and almost felt like I had a cold. I stretched then went downstairs and had a bowl of gluten-free cereal. I got ready for work and moved like molasses.
I went to the property management office to work out an issue I’m [...]

Three day weekends are wonderful but sometimes spin me a little. Especially when you work on Saturday. When you’re not used to working 6 days a week, you get a little thrown. At least, I do.
Of course the one nice day of the weekend was the day I had to work. I’m a [...]

Today I was spent. Tired. Ready for the weekend. Only, because of the holiday weekend event at the winery, I’ll have to work tomorrow. I don’t really mind, in that winery events tend to be fun. But, on the other hand, I’m tired and I want to get to work on my book.
This afternoon [...]

Cleansing. That’s the ultimate route to change. Good change. And possibility.
I woke up to a cloudy, overcast, gray, cool day with drizzle. It’s Portland.
And I started my workday at the winery helping out with cleaning before the big Memorial Day weekend event. My job was to clean up the commercial kitchen. So, my co-worker [...]

Today my mother called me out on my bad behavior. I was on the phone with her at once celebrating the fact that I got a partial scholarship to attend the Fishtrap summer writer’s workshop and gathering, then soon turned to complaining about my financial stresses. The thing is, I’m hung up on the [...]
