To get in the holiday spirit I've signed up to make Christmas Cards at Rubber Soul, the local rubber stamp shop. How exciting is that!

Yipi Bubble Tea has closed it's doors. And now my heart is broken. I'll need some time to recover.

Overnight Bag

On any given Monday night you'll find me with my iPod on sitting on
the ferry. Anxiously trying to pass the time until we're docked and I
can walk off the boat and pick up my other life where it left off a
week ago. Here's the view.

Build It Up

Are you ready for 7 random facts about moi? Jessie was kind enough to "tag" me. I love doing stuff like this. It's like filling out survey bulletins on myspace. Mmmm.

1. I name my stuff. Here are just a few examples. My car's name is Romy. My laptop's name is Bert. My iPhone's name is Ivanka. My purse's name is Vivian. Etc. Etc. I think it helps me remember to consciously take care of those few things I've really invested my moola in.

2. I am the oldest of 4 Levengood children. We live in the house with 8 cars in the driveway.

3. I've been to 93 weddings this year.

4. I am a pescaterian. Well...on most days ;)

5. I've been in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend for 4 years. Poulsbo to Eburg. Eburg to Vancouver BC. Poulsbo to Seattle.

6. I have developed the habit, over the last year or so, of closing one eye when I bite into an apple. Cute, huh.

7. I'm the type of person that has to get out of the house to feel productive. Like, I'll just get up and go for a drive if I don't have any place real to go. Yeah.

I don't know anyone who blogs anymore. How sad it is when we young adults become part of the real world and don't have time for the internet anymore.

Well, that was f un.

Try new things everyday

Like blogging from my phone. Here goes nothing.

This stuff is amazing. I wish I had to get ready for bed twice a day just so I could use it more. It's lotion. It's water. What the heck?

I'm getting more high maintenance. I blame Joel.

Amateur Night

Last night was PG Ghost Walk 2. I took a camera along to keep myself busy. The results of my informal paranormal investigation are as follows. Orbs galore. You have to look closely in some of the pictures.






Walker Ames. The beautiful Victorian house that looms over the mill site. Traditionally home of the Mill Manager. Master bedroom. Yellowy orb in the middle of the shot.












Walker-Ames basement. Where the woman-hater lives. 2 orbs on the fuse box.











This is St. Paul's Church. Our beautiful chapel circa 1879. I sat in a middle pew, taking a series of pictures of the altar. They look blurry to me, but these orbs show up in 3 out of 5 pictures. And you can see their movement. Oh, and they also drained my battery.










Lots of ghost stories were told last night. Appropriate for this time of year, right? Skeptic or not, it's fun to play ghost hunter.

So, I haven't actually been able to use my new ING Direct Electric Orange checking account yet. I've been waiting weeks to get a PIN. (I want to spend my money, dangit!) But let me just say that I'm loving this bank more and more every day. I talked to them on the phone twice this afternoon. There was no automated menu to go through. I was connected to a rep immediately, both of whom were both charming and oh-so-helpful.

Two thumbs up.

This experience might even make up for the latest in roommate drama. It was that good!

I'm posting this for John. He always loves a good werewolf appearance. Oh. And I'm diggin' on the band.

I'm at work...and a little frustrated. I won't go into details. But I spent the first half of my day in a maintenance truck shleping ladders and tent sides. There should be someone here to help me with this kind of stuff on the weekends.

Does anyone else miss Savage Garden? Maybe I'm just a sugar pop addict. But, come on.

Sloppy Joes ala Joel

Last night Joel was in the mood for a family dinner, and, in honor of Fall, made a comfort food that I've only discovered as of late. Sloppy Joes. But not Manwich sloppy joes (which I happen to despise), Midwest-Wallgren sloppy joes. Ground beef, tomato paste, Velveeta, salt and pepper. All on a toasted bun. + Mean Girls = great night.

Anyway, we made a run to the store for a few things, where we found sea cucumbers in their natural habitat --- Central Market's seafood department. Ewww.

This is it.

I have a new favorite movie. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. The soundtrack is already loaded on my ipod. And I spent the last hour looking for a place to watch it free (and illegally) online. No luck yet, by the way.
