A place to hang my birdfeeder
Cat was kind enough to help us out by pointing us to a lovely apartment complex. The place is nice, and we would have a ground floor unit with a view. It’s a 2/1 and right in our budget. It is near transportation and close enough to the burbs to be convienant. It’s got a [...]
In your heart…where is the home?
We suffered another setback yesterday in our search for a house. The house that Cat look at for us in the Northeast section, well the guy rented it out to someone else. I don’t know why he turned us down and I was too upset to bother asking. Not surprisingly, this is really stressing me [...]
Hopes and Orange Juice
In another nonsensical episode of “This is Erica’s Life!” we discuss the hopes and dreams in Portland, the longing for a particular house and the joys of orange juice. Brought to you by Stress, Gray Hair and Irritable Personality Disorder. We now return to our regularly scheduled madness. Cat’s going to look at a house [...]
My aching bones
The trauma with my hands continues. I went to the doc and they told me that I have bone pain. No shit! I just paid someone money to tell me something I already knew? Lovely. Next, a hand doc. The bad thing is that I lose my insurance next week. Wonder if I can bang [...]
Mission, sorta, accomplished
I hate writing long blog posts. For the sake of my readers, I feel like I should break things up catagoreically and not let the personal stuff blend with the policital stuff, and not to let the stuff about the move blend with my fun in the now. I should get over this. I like [...]
Good juju
D found the place we want to rent. It’s a duplex, but it’s freaking AWESOME! Cross your fingers, your toes, you freaking eyes — what ever! Give us some good luck and I promise you salsa. Yes, I am willing to pay for good vibes with salsa….. lots of salsa! Think: Sellwood house — Sellwood [...]
32 Days and Counting
I have this nifty little counter on my iGoogle, so now I can freak myself out daily. Time, it flies so swiftly and drags painfully. And I can’t count. Apparently I thougth that we had 5 weeks left. I really should brush up on my addition and subtraction. That whole math thing gives me a [...]
The boxes rise
With the departure of the futon, the front room has becoming the staging station for the building box towers. I thought, albeit naively, that all of the boxes I’d collected from work would be plenty for our books. Dead wrong was I (we watched a show about the history of Star Wars last night…sorry. Yoda [...]
6 weeks and counting
It’s rushing up on me, this lack of time. I’ve resisted disassembling the house, trying to sift through the stuff, to find the proper box for this and the right packing material for that. For the first time in a long time, I’m considering the wooden trunk. Full of old journals (when I was super-tragic) [...]
Bits of it
Suitcases – I had the best suitcase ever. One of those older, blue ones with flipping latches and a shell so indestructible that I could lean on the side without it buckling. It wasn’t cool enough to be vintage — and after looking around at various sites, I think it can place it in the [...]
My Florida
**this is unedited. Sorry for the clunky writing** Little creatures swirl around your pillow while you sleep. They stuff cotton in your open mouth, and giggle when you choke on your dreams. With the edges of your paranoia, they tickle your toes and the soft spot on the back of your knee. They giggle when [...]
Little discoveries
Now that I have hair, and since Christy gave me my first cut in over a year, I’ve been trying to find the right “goop” to make my hair happy. Gel drys my hair out. Crunchy is good for cereal and crackers, not for hair. My anti-frizz stuff makes my hair shiney, but my waves [...]
