Summer 2011

It's already May! That means it's time to start looking forward to another fun Portland Summer. I have 3 weeks off in June and 3 weeks off in August. I'm debating going home in August for some of the 3 weeks.

I thought that I'd start a list of websites that have helpful information for what to do, where to go.....

This post will have much more added, or an adendum, or something! There's so much to do here in the Summer and I look forward to discovering even more than I did last year.

Abandonment

Wow, it's been a super long time. I've let myself get addicted to Facebook and have ignored the urge to write. Way back in October I started NSO-ing for the Rose City Rollers. In November I went home for Thanksgiving. At the end of December my mom came to visit - during that trip I enjoyed a maple bacon donut from Voodoo....it was delicious! In January mom left and I began the process of packing up all of my stuff. In February I moved to Gladstone. I'm renting a room in a house. It's 3 miles from work which is super convenient (especially on sunny days, because then I can walk). In March, um, I can't think of anything wonderful or life changing that happened this month. April 13 I celebrated my 6 month-a-versary as an NSO. I've also decided to start learning the rules for Roller Derby so that I can ref/become level one certified. What a quick little update. I will write more often. I need to make it a goal.
