It is a beautiful sunny day here in PDX.  I’ve been to the library already.  I’ve eaten lunch at Panda Kitchen (my favorite spot to eat right now, their beef and broccoli is frickin’ addicting) and met one of my writing deadlines (while working at the usually crowded Seattle’s Best.  Go me!).   Now I’m sitting in one of the comfy chairs at Starbucks and I am falling out of love with the beautiful sunny day because it is causing the worst glare/reflection on my laptop screen.  I can’t see a friggin’ thing.

I know.  Woe is me–with my awesome weather and awesome lunch and awesome trip to the library and awesome comfy chair and awesome caramel apple spice drink and awesome netbook with a not so awesome reflection.  Life is soooooooo hard.

People I am staring down the barrel of a hell of a busy evening.  Will finished his last final today which means that he is leaving for his spring break trip to Arizona tomorrow.  I’m not going because I have work to do.  And because I have people coming to visit who are staying with us.  And because of other reasons that are kind of personal and familial and don’t need to be discussed on a blog that certain people will probably soon have access to (dammit).  So yeah–that means that tonight we have to run errands and do laundry and get him packed up and ready to go in the morning (he plans on leaving early in the AM).  So I’m taking these few moments to sit in my comfy chair with my yummy drink and blog.  And maybe read.

Don’t worry about me though–it isn’t like I’ll be spending the next week at home all alone… my Mom is dropping in for a visit.  My sister in law might be coming to hang out for a while.  Who knows who else will pop in.  I feel very popular lately.

Side Note:  I am getting an education I never thought I would get while sitting here.  Seated next to me is a sorority chick who is conducting interviews for potential new sorority members.  My college didn’t have a greek system so I never got to do the whole “oh I’m WAY to cool for sorority life” thing and never got to see what a rush or selection process or whatever it is that these places do to…recruit.  Is recruit the right word?  ng things like “Like, so…. like we do stuff right?”  All I know is that this girl? Is giggly.  More giggly than I get (I prefer to think of myself as happily wry but apparently that doesn’t always get across).  And… oh wow.  It sounds like these things are so much work.  It is hard to not just blatantly stare and eavesdrop.  Wow.

Let’s see.  What else?

That’s it!
