Finally, our boxes have arrived! They’ll be delivering the 2 immediate ones tomorrow, so we’ll be spending the weekend unpacking. whew.

I’ve applied for 2 jobs this week and we took L to the OMSI today, so we’ve been keeping quite busy. Next week we’ll likely take another road trip in the opposite direction – go see the snow on Mt Hood & check out the salmon run in the columbia gorge, the bonneville dam, etc.

I went to the CoC yesterday – and while I got a whole bunch of flyers, pamphlets & brochures on places to go/things to do, they didn’t have the demographic info I wanted. So I’ll have to make an appt w/their biz dev guy to dig into it further.

We’ve got a new hobby – Suburban Foraging! Yay! (Mostly berry picking right now) I’m still thinking wistfully of the food cart idea, and I was reminded that Ric mentioned a lady that had a “snoball” kind of stand in OH (?) who made her own fruit syrups from scratch, I bet that would be pretty popular ’round here in the summer time… and of course, soups when the weather gets nasty again. Ah, a grrl can dream, right? In the meantime, I’m still looking for real jobs, and investigating the retail space option.;-)

So I won’t be writing for a few days as I haul boxes up 3 flights of stairs – send nice massaging thoughts my way, eh?
