Portland I love thee.

I get off the plane and remember how men find me attractive here. That's a good start.

I checked into my hotel and was thrilled by the details.

I went on a quick walk to Powell's and found my Mom's book. My Mom's book is in my second favorite bookstore in the entire world.

I was gratified I went in the wrong direction on my first walk to PNCA because I got to spend longer in the rain.

I love PNCA and what they are doing

I adore Jon and Pad-See-Ew.

I love meeting new people and teaching them something I am so passionate about.

I love getting to see my twitter/market friends in real life.

I am so impressed with the ladies of Bolt and Modern Domestic.

Lots of us feel the same about a lot of things. Which means we can make/ demand change.

The later I stay up the harder it is to sleep...

Printmaking makes my little heart soar.

Japanese books make my little heart soar.

Patty Mills makes my little heart hang glide. (new boyfriend)

I miss New Seasons and I love chatting with Sarah

Excited to print with my peeps today, and sad that it's the last day. 

I feel energized and ready to make some serious changes in my life, so I can help others make changes in theirs. This was the proverbial kick in the pants I needed.

May you all get a good kick in the pants.
