hello weekend crowd

since i quit my job i have felt more free.
birds have become my motif. (pronounced: mow-TEEF).
i painted this picture that you see above (my first painting in probably a year or so) in celebration of my new found ability and freedom to take care of and advocate for myself -- even just in quitting my job.
the picture hangs in my living room, reminding me of ABUNDANT LIFE.
and i wanted to share that hope with you.
peace friends. enjoy your weekend. think of me while i study.
14 days until my birthday.

one last time
I drove to work today. Turned on my computer. Logged on to the network to check my messages. Listened to my voicemails. Unlocked the filing cabinets. Performed all the other routine morning rituals I have been doing here for the last few months/years.
I did it all for the last time today.
As of 3:30 this afternoon . . . I’m outta here!
anyone up for celebrating tonight????!!!!

i'm back!
thanks to those of you who emailed/mailed/visited me while i was away!
arwen, andrea, caitlin, rebecca marie, the husband, the sisters, it was beautiful!
i suppose 85 comments was a bit ambitious. i guess it's what i get for neglecting my blog for so long . . . no one really reads it anymore. once i am done with all of this changing jobs and taking exams stuff . . . i will renew my blogging effort!
that is my solemn pledge.

aaaaaahhhh naked hippies in the woods make me happy!
i spent all day yesterday at the
oregon country fair. no, itsn't a fair where they show livestock and compete for blue ribbons for their baked and canned goods . . . it's more like a huge
saturday market in the woods . . . with people in costume (or painted from head to toe), music, yoga, massage, motivational speakers (tee hee), beautiful clothes and jewelry and yummy food for sale, drum circles, belly dancers, jugglers . . . and MORE! it was amazing! my girl and i went together and had an awesome time. i wore my fairy wings and we painted our faces. we stayed the night with our sweet friend lj who recently moved to the eugene area from san diego.
i took pictures . . . but you know me . . . they'll be up here in a few weeks!
i also took pictures of the little plastic horses that someone has tied to these metal rings in the sidewalk around town. there are some over on 23rd (where i met
arwen saturday for some ritzy shopping followed by tots and lemon water), some in SE near my house and some over on belmont near the horse brass pub . . . and other places i'm sure . . . i think they are cute and clever!
ANNNDDDD my girl and i went to see the new pirates of the caribbean on friday night!! it. was. awesome! i am a fan! i had absolutely no expectations (since it is a sequel and well . . . you never know) and it was totally great! yes, it is a disney movie, yes it is a comedy, but it was so fun and . . . oh . . . that jack sparrow. the last shot of him in the film . . . yummmmmm . . . so, i wont give away anything (i HATE spoilers) . . . i will just say: go see it!*
i'm a little out of it today and could use some encouragement from my friends since i am at work right now. this is the first time i have worked on a monday in about 4 months! it's HARD!
and i didn't get breakfast.
sorry this post is lame-o.
*helpful hint: pirate movies are more fun when you hit up
salvador molly's for some rum first!

so i finally had time to post . . .
and the only good idea i had was this:
the husband is currently studying german. i was helping him with his homework last night. we were looking up words he didn't understand from this article he had to read . . . one word was "blech."
"blech" means "sheet metal" in german.
i thought that was really funny!
so i started using it in place of the english word blech. for example:
"sheet metal, these bananas are really old!"
or
"i have to visit my pervy uncle this weekend, sheet metal!"
well, maybe it was funnier at the time . . . it doesn't seem so funny now.
how are all of you??? i've missed you!!! i haven't been around much lately and i am trying to rectify that today.
mostly, i just wanted to use the word rectify.
