brrrrrr...

i'm cold.

very cold.

and if you know me, you know i'm rarely cold.

apparently portland is having record cold temps right now.


along with snow.

SNOW in portland.

for reals.

i went to walk the dogs a couple of hours ago and it was a blizzard outside.

and of course i have nothing in preparation for it.  no boots, no snow tires, no hats....and sad to say, no long sleeve shirts.

none.

luckily i have a big, ugly puffy winter coat i broke down and bought last year.

and i do mean ugly.  i even broke down the other day and bought some gloves.

meanwhile, my east coast peeps are in shorts.

hello la nina.

to love...

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."- C.S. Lewis

hmmm...

dorothy parker

i've been reading some dorothy parker again.


i love her.  always have.


she has the best quotes ever.

"Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone."

one of my faves:

"I don't know much about being a millionaire, but I'll bet I'd be darling at it." 

and this one too:

"I like to have a martini,  Two at the very most.   After three I'm under the table,  after four I'm under my host."

fog

i went out at around 8pm to walk the dogs and immediately felt like i was walking in a cloud.

or my glasses were super dirty.

i could barely see.

it got a little better up at the intersection.


and then really bad.  bad enough to not be able to see across the street.

obviously it was impossible to photograph.

freaky cool though.

i'm officially...

an oregonian.

license plates arrived (it only took 5 months).

correct screws were bought.

license plates installed.


and yes, stalkers, i blurred out part of it.

does this mean i have to wear fleece now?

i think not.

i like the last part of it though.

e-z-e.

easy e.

eazy e.

rainbows and sunsets

driving around running errands today i noticed a huge rainbow in the sky.

i immediately pulled over to try to get a picture of it.

unfortunately nothing could capture what it looked like in person.


i then turned around and noticed an amazing sunset...

3 sunny days...

we've had 3 sunny days in a row.  even though i know it won't last i'm enjoying it while it's here.

the day after...

november 3rd.

the day after election day and i woke up disappointed.

i pretty much expected the outcome.

the republicans took over the house.  luckily the democrats retained control of the senate.

apparently people have forgotten that the president cannot move mountains.  he was not given a magic wand when he took office.  how could he completely change the country, the economy, health care, etc in less than 2 years??  especially after the previous 8 years under george w. bush.

be realistic people.

give it time, give him a chance.

people seem to forget the many things he actually has done.

perhaps they do not even know or care to know.

please watch and listen.

wet dogs and rain boots

that is what my life has become....

it's days like today that i really miss los angeles.

big time.

and the california dilemma continues...

vote.

tomorrow is november 2nd and that means one thing - VOTE.

i did.

i voted early through the mail because that is how oregon does it.

of course i got a follow up letter saying that my signature didn't match from when i signed up so I had to send in a new one.

but i voted.

i have never understood people's ambivalence to voting.  

we are damn lucky to have the right to vote so use it.

if you're not registered, do so.  it takes seconds.
