A reformed desert rat rediscovers the Northwest...

That's going to be me in about 18 days! I am starting the final leg of completely freaking out and packing and trying to stay focused while managing all my current classes, signing up for new classes, trying to figure out how to pay for said new classes and.... whew! It's alot!

I really am beyond excited. As I look at things like this lovely family farm -- Henry's Tree Farm!

and looking forward to festivals and Christmas. Where I live now, a little town out in the desert, they don't really have a town square, and while there is certainly the air of Christmasy things at Walmart, it's not the same as snow, being so cold you can't feel your toes, snowmen, snowball fights and Christmas lighting ceremonies that most of the town shows up at.

I didn't realize how much I missed all of these things. I mean, really deep in my soul have missed them.

I am looking forward to seeing all the lovely, small town Christmas things. Maybe I'll even go to a local Christmas concert - woot!

Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season. I won't be around much until after I am settled in with the move, but I have plans, oh so many plans for the future of this blog.

Thank you all for reading and following along.

Zeitgeist and the month of December…

makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little. I wasn’t even going to bother attempting another one of these things – the dismal failures and the guilt, the added stress from the guilt, who needs it really!?! I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge...

Where I've been... well, nowhere really. I have been trying to stay off the computer and get some studying done. Obviously this is not working very well since here I am, but it is an effort. This new test I am studying for to determine whether I'm cool enough to enter the Education program at Western Washington University is scaring the pants off me. I really wish they would accept my already passing Praxis scores as I have already gone through all the freaking out, stressing out, studying and lack of sleep for that test. I don't test very well. I really never have. I am full of that panicky test anxiety right up until the professor, etc says go, and then I calm down and keep telling myself, you know this or you don't... just breathe goober. I am almost always convinced that I'm going to fail, and fail badly and I can't remember actually ever failing, but it could still happen. So, now I stay up late (because that's the only time it's quiet here) a...
