Well, drat. As of Sunday night, I am unemployed. My magazine has folded and while it is not a terribly great surprise, it was almost 4 years of blood, sweat and tears.
Ah well, on to new horizons. I'll be working from home and finishing a book I was commissioned for (yay for sidework!). So I'll be saving on gas and laundry soap (since I...

Sorry about that. I'm sure you'll land on your feet. And the book sounds super exciting! What's it about?

Another Friday working from home and I am beginning to think that I am brilliant for deciding to keep that regular schedule. I get so much more accomplished. Today has been nearly perfect. Slept until 10ish. Had a sandwich with bierschinken for lunch (Yum!) and I am off to see the premiere of Storm Large's one-woman autobiographical show at Portland Center Stage tonight. I'm really...

And the fantstic weather has arrived! I pulled a job working out in Wine country with weekend. It should be outstanding! How have you been?
I just got back from the best camping trip ever. First of all, it was awesome because it's been so goddamn long since I've been camping. We did a heck of a lot of drinking, but I am pretty sure I remember having a good time. I stayed up until 3 or 4 in the morning every night, thus being one of the last campers...

I can go to bed at midnight and still won't be up before 9 most of the time. Weirdo. But you're a cute weirdo. In what area did you camp?
You know what I've noticed lately? There's a serious lack of sex in my life. That just ain't right.

Any changes since then? I'm sure your odds are a lot greater than mine right now. 
It's almost a new year and I am so excited to welcome it in. I have a new house to firnish, a job I actually like going to everyday and I have some pretty good friends. So frankly, I can't complain.
I have been reading at some local open mics, which is great for keeping my creative muscles flexed. I am particularly fond of the...

Thank god it's December! Usually, it's my favorite month. I have been so busy, I have hardly noticed.
It's my birthday next week and I am actually quite excited about it. Some girlfriends and I will be spending the morning getting chocolate pedicures and then we'll head over to The Heathman for a lovely lunch. I am so thrilled. I was't going to do anything,...

Happy Birthday misss.
I had an awesome time in Seattle last weekend. It was strange. I went up there thinking that it would be all about partying and going crazy. I didn't think I would get much out of the conference, but the conference ended up being the best part of the trip.
For one thing (and I won't bore you with the details) it was really nice...

Sounds like my kind of night.

Ok. Well, I have been a big downer lately, haven't I? Geez. Somebody get the girl a lollypop.
Things are actually going swimmingly. Getting a lot of work done and adjusting to my new late-night instead of early-morning schedule.
I am having coffee with my Burning Man buddy at a new chocolatier/coffeehouse tomorrow. I'm quite excited about that....

hurray for girl time! Hope you had lots of fun!Well, it has been a rocky couple of weeks. Yikes.
For some reason, I have been utterly unable to write these days. Of couse, I've been doing a lot more work at the magazine, which is kind of like writing (really more hunting and gathering). So, I guess my focus has been on that.
Things are going well though, I think. It's hard to tell...

I really miss dancing on the couch with Sandra too. Boy that girl
can jump. I was going to be nosy and ask what you and Greg did
at the temple in the middle of the night, but I will just assume it
wasn't to pray.

Random hello from someone you don't know 
Hi ! I love going into Powells. Last time I was in the downtown one I was there for an hour, and could have stayed for 5 or 6 probably..that place is amazing! You want to get yourself going again, maybe do some of those things you miss, give yourself some fun time. I've always found new experiences to be the best way to inspire.

You want to get yourself going again, maybe do some of those things you miss, give yourself some fun time. I've always found new experiences to be the best way to inspire. As of tomorrow, it will be one whole month since I have updated my blog. I guess I have been feeling a little disenchanted with SG lately. It sort of feels like a marriage where we just can't admit that the magic is gone.
*sigh*
In SG's defense, I have been fairly consumed by my own life. I am quitting my job at the spa...

hmm new job? congrats! i need a new job too, anymore in portland that you know of lol?

Well.... What do you want out of your marriage with SG? I can feel the Magic. At least that's what I like to call it.
If you want others to see your artistic and naught side, you're doing a great job. If you keep it up, i'm sure the spark (or spank) will come back. If you need to borrow some magic, I have plenty to spare. you just have to ask nicely.
