A few weeks ago, I was totally annoyed by this and also this. Mostly, about the coat stealing teacher rather than the boob bearing OSU student.

But? This week, Oregon has done me proud.

First of all – I beg to differ with the study that found drivers in Portland among the nicest in the nation. But, whatever, we’ll take what we can get.

Next up, today kicks off the 2nd Largest UFO Festival (quite frankly, I am too busy drinking beer to have paid attention to whether the local news said this was in the nation, or the world, but, please know, it’s the 2nd largest of SOMEWHERE) in McMinnville at my very very favorite brewery McMenamins. I really could give two shits about UFOs, but, I enjoy the tacky, and I’m sure you’ll agree that the UFOs are TACKY.

I feel like there was something else. But, I cannot for the life of me remember. But, please know, it is 7 o’clock on Friday night, I am sitting on the couch knitting and swilling seasonal beer (YUM!) and Zane is asleep. I see a crazy night ahead of us, don’t you?

I GOT MY BRACES OFF TODAY!

WHEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

The lovely and delightful Carrisa has interviewed me!

1. If you could go back in time to your 16 yr old self, what is the one piece of advice you would give Lil Rhi?

I would tell her to work harder in school. Then she would have gotten better grades and, hopefully, more scholarships to college (I got one). Then, I wouldn’t be paying so damn much in student loans. Also, be nicer. You were kind of mean.

2. If you could appear on any (current) tv show as a new cast member, what show would you pick? And tell us about your character.

Hmmm, you really ask the tough questions Carrisa! I think I’d want to be a character on Ugly Betty. I’d be beautiful, and well dressed, of course working at Mode. But, I’d be nice and be Betty’s best friend.

3. You rub a special genies lamp and are granted the ability to:
a) play the guitar, fly, and speak German.
b) see into the future, juggle, and design clothing
c) always maintain your ideal weight(no substitutions. pick a, b, or c.)

Definitely B. Because I would be able to look into the future to see the fashions, and design them and become rich and famous. Plus, everyone loves juggling!

4. For a million dollars, would you rather? Go a year without wearing underwear (panties) or Go a year without eating meat?

I do not think I could give up meat. So, by default, I have to say a year without panties.

5. It’s your wedding day. Everything is perfect except the bakery where you ordered your cake was destroyed in a fire the night before your wedding. You’re in a crunch. You can’t have your dream cake and must replace it with something else. What will it be?

This is easy, I am really not a fan of cake, so I’d just get pies. Many many pies. Of marionberry and strawberry rhubarb. What? My guests don’t like pie? More for me!!

That was fun! If you’d like me to interview you, let me know in the comments!
