I’m a 27-year-old living in Portland, Oregon.  I spent the first 18 years of my life in Montana, and although I’ve been in Portland for almost 9 years, Montana will always be home.  In fact, if it weren’t for cheaper car insurance rates or kicker checks, I probably never would have registered my car in Oregon or started paying Oregon taxes.

After college, I worked as a corporate event planner for a couple years before moving into the nonprofit sector. I did all sorts of fundraising (events, direct mail, etc.) for a local foundation, then decided to go back to school. Now I’m working towards a master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology.

I spend my free time sampling the amazing microbrews Oregon has to offer, wandering around farmer’s markets, going out to brunch and visiting my boyfriend in Eastern Oregon. I love gourmet coffee, flip flops, craft projects and a good bargain.

Sometimes, I tell funny stories. Other times, interesting/bizarre/funny things happen to me. I wanted a place (a sort of “web log”, if you will) to record all of this ridiculousness so that I could look back on it later and laugh.

More things about me:

1. Things I think I excel at include (but are not limited to): spelling, remembering phone numbers, math, listening, text messaging, and falling asleep just about anywhere. Things I would include in my list of weaknesses: showing up on time, voice immodulation, calling my friends who don’t live in Portland, and eating leftovers.

2. I am bothered (some may say unreasonably) by people who abbreviate too much or too little, the word “moist”, oversharers, Caffeine-free Diet Coke, and fake laughter. Oh, and places that don’t have both food AND drink specials during happy hour.

3. Friends and family, ice cream, and flowers make my world go round. They can make anything better.
