ummm...yeah some things that really aren't ok.

so this week i have experienced a few things that have REALLY rubbed me the wrong way, so i thought that i needed to rant about them...as it might make feel better...or amuse you or at least myself. so here goes...


1. please don't clip your fingernails in the classroom at school during class...its gross, you have a home do it there.


2. please please please use turn signals - and if you are lost pull over in a safe place and figure out where you are going instead of driving 5 miles an hour down a main thoroughfare...


3. telling your children that they are going to get fatter and fatter if they eat all their food.  Aren't we supposed to look out for our children and guide them and love them and encourage them to be the best, healthiest, happiest little people after all aren't they our future?


4. chapped lips.


5. people who allow their children to cut in line.


Happy Reading!

so friends...i have emerged from the darkness.


well actually all us Portlanders have finally emerged from the dark.  it is finally summer - mid july.


remind me again why i live here.  i find it a really interesting idea.  that i live in a state that although it is beautiful has no real appeal for me.  yes my family is here, and there are things that i like however there are for more things that i really cant stand.  such as the weather.  i hate the weather. 


let me say it again for those who didn't understand me the first time...
I HATE THE WEATHER. 


i found the funniest thing in regards to portlanders and the weather - that we think that the sun is a ufo.
i have decided that i think that the "sun" in portland is really more of a government expirment to see how long we can go without all going completly stir crazy before they actually show us the sun.  sort of like the truman show.  i hate it.  my least favorite part of it is the humidity - it finally gets nice and its sticky beyond comprehension...


i would apologize for my bitching..but i can't.  i really can't. 


it makes me so sad - no sad is not the word...i dont know what the word is.  however i think of the coast..i love the "coast" actually i love the beach...we dont have a beach we have the coast...its rocky and the water is cold and it usually rains.  i want to swim in the ocean (and not need to cover myself from head to toe in a neoprene body condom) i want to go and spend the day in the sun on the beach...not take my rain coat always.

i do like central oregon...in the summer when it is HOT and i can play in Sunriver at the pool and wear my swimsuit all day and at night it gets cold.  i love it there...but that is not the oregon that i live in.  i also love that it snows there too...

but back to the portland sun...i do find it amusing that as an oregonian, i dont own an umbrella...if i ever do i lose them instantly and i dont really know how to use one...i would think that its better to catch rain water and purify it for something great like brewing beer.  and everytime i am with someone who is using one i am always the person who takes an umbrella to the eye.  not fun.

i am also the oregonian who the moment it hits 60 believes that it is shorts and flip flop weather...if i get a little chilly thats what a hoody is for and yes i do wear shorts in the rain.  but if i did i would only get to wear shorts at soccer and a few days a year and i cant handle that.

so i ask myself again why? why oh why do i live here in oregon...

happy reading.
