I almost hate to post again. I love seeing that nice round number 1000 on my bloggy dashboard. I can't believe there have been enough words and thoughts inside of me to fill up 1000 posts! I'm always describing myself as 'quiet' and 'introverted'. Dear Hubby describes me as someone who could carry on a conversation with a rock if I didn't have someone to talk to. So who is the true me? Maybe like I've described myself on here: an extroverted introvert on a good day, and introverted extrovert on a bad day. Whoever...whatever...I am, I do love to write. Bet you never would've guessed that one, eh? Actually, what you've seen and read here is only a portion of what I've written. My retired 'blog' has quite a bit there, too, but I deleted a good portion of it and I'm keeping what's left for my grandboys to have one day.
Ah yes...and now to the rain! I have a relatively new bloggy friend named Simone who recently moved to Portland from southern California. Oh, my Northwest friends! Isn't she in for a rude awakening?! Come January she'll be crying for some of that southern Cal sunshine and softer breezes, don't you think? I haven't had the pleasure of meeting her yet but I'm trying to work it in sometime soon where maybe she and I can meet for a cup of coffee or lunch somewhere between where I live and she lives. I'll let her pick the spot...I think I can navigate Portland a little better than she can at this stage of the game. As long as she keeps me on Canyon Road or some other main road, haha! Southwest Portland is tricky at best. Give me the straight grids of SE any day!
And so another week begins. Volunteer day comes up for me again on Wednesday at Dylan's preschool. A week of rain ahead of us, so most of what we do will be inside.
I'm ready. I think.
4 told me what they're thinking:
Have a good week Kris! You popping in before I take my siesta. :)
Somehow, "Miss Kris" and "not posting" don't really fit in the same sentence. An aberrant juxtaposition.
With any luck, you'll be able to help Simone adjust to the wetter, colder weather of wintry Portland. I would never suggest that she try the -30 and -40 weather of winter up here in prairie Canada.
P.S.: I've restarted my "Photo of the Day/Photo du Jour" project again. Please drop by is you have time.
Hahaha I'm getting a little concerned after reading this post. As long as I have plenty of warm clothes, I'll be happy. I'm grouchiest when I'm cold and can't get warmed up.
Looking forward to meeting you face to face too. You're right though...I'd better stick to Canyon Drive or else I'll be sitting in a parking lot crying somewhere. I can do lost real easy!
Too bad I'm on the east coast, otherwise, I'd invite myself to the bloggy friend meeting too. :)
Actually, I'd better stay here where the weather is predictable and manageable.
You sound very content and serene with your writing Kris. How nice. :)
