Meditate on This

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which cold not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the question now. Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

Reduce

I'm embarking on a journey of reduction.
I won't bore you with all the details.

Basically, a conversation this weekend prompted a thought that's been in the back of my mind to move toward the front.

And because of that, I'm making a choice to shop locally, and sustainably.
This means: buying food from places I've heard of and could drive to if I wanted, recycling items that occupy permanent space {like furniture and clothes} by shopping resale and supporting local designers that create and manufacture their goods locally.

A lofty goal, but one I'm excited to move toward!
You should think about joining me...

I wouldn't tell you to go here if it wasn't amazing....

Hanging Out....

So, I am wandering the campus of the UO while Lala is with her orientation group, and my mother is attending a parent's seminar.
Can you say {boring}?

So I decided to wander.

And I am pleasantly surprised by how lovely this campus is and how many beautiful old buildings it houses.

And basically on campus there is a Starbucks, an American Apparel, many Japanese and Mediterranean restaurants and tons of public transportation.

People, I think I got screwed over with my small, liberal arts college experience.

Go Ducks!

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

My Mother and Lala.
How wonderful, is it not?

Lala is attending her collegiate orientation and I get to go too.
My plan is to pretend to be an incoming freshman and royally EMBARRASS her.

hip hip hooray!

You Know Who You Are...

You should blog a little more! And get back to Friday Dump Days!
And you who shall not be named, where is my 5 sentence minimum e-mail?

Love, Sissy
