Key Learnings from Winter Storm 2007
- Playing Cars for Xbox 360 at my age is not only pathetic, but it makes your hand hurt TONS. So what if you get to hear the voice of Owen Wilson in the game. Also, it’s way hard to find all 20 of Lizzie’s lost postcards. Maybe she shouldn’t be so careless. Or, maybe she should start a collection of things that can’t blow away.
- My hometown now has a bible college, and it was closed due to the inclement weather today.
-There are far too many clicks required to find out if my garbage will be collected as scheduled tomorrow a.m. (Waste Management, I am talking to you – I think a site redesign is in order)
- Classes at the local Phlebotemy School are also canceled. (Side note – I sent Zane this text message: Your phlebotomy class is canceled tonight, I just don’t know how you are going to graduate on time if they keep doing this to you. He did not find this funny in the least. I find it hilarious).
- It’s always a good idea to have a backup supply of pepperjack cheese.
- Doris Day movies are my very favorite ever. I watched both Lover Come Back and Please Don’t Eat the Daisies
-Although I claim to hate the sensationalist Portland News Media (hey, I went to the UofO on Journalism Scholarship people!), I actually watched them all day. Nothing’s funnier than watching some idiot’s car slam into 20 others right in front of the Multnomah Athletic Club (for those of you non-Portlanders, that means EXPENSIVE cars).
-Things cooked in a Mary Engelbreit Crock Pot taste better than things cooked in a plain crock pot. I promise!
And, lastly, even with snow covering it, the blackberry vines coming out the ivy wall in my yard still drive me freaking ape-shit. This makes sense to none of you, but you ever find me rocking back and forth holding my head and chanting, “blackberry vines,” please know – you cannot kill them, and not even snow makes them look pretty.

I like to watch old Jerry Lewis movies…I know I’m a total dork!
20. January - 5:25 pmSounds like you learned alot from this storm! Are you still getting hit?
Please Don’t Eat the Daisies!! I love that movie! I just found your blog through Mandajuice (I think that was the one)…any how, I’ll be moving back to the Portland area in about 10 months. We should totally hang out.
