It's the middle of the night, and we remembered that tomorrow is trash day. We had to go move our cars from the driveway to roll the big cans out. There are two big bins (like in L.A.) that are blue and gray... one for recycles, one for yard waste... we can't remember which is which. Then a smaller bin for regular trash (they're big on recycling here). And a little blue box for bottles. So, the little regular trash goes out... but which other one? I had to drive around our neighborhood taking a mental trash poll. Blue and gray look the same at 2 in the morning.
Maybe it's funny because I'm sleepy... maybe because in 5 minutes of driving around I saw like 5 trash cans... just a little dose of Eugene.
We put out the blue one.

take one...
I've never really been one for journaling. I always liked the idea and had great intentions with a few lucky pages in otherwise blank books. Maybe I didn't like phsically writing... too much like school. Maybe I wasn't creative or dramatic enough... it never sounded like the diaries on tv.
So, now I find myself in a new home in a new city in a new life and I feel the urge again to document my life's happenings. Plus, I am already missing my family and friends terribly. There are too many to catch up with and too little time, so maybe this blog will help. Now if only each one of them will blog...
I can't promise this will get updated frequently... just look at my myspace page. But, I'm hopeful now that I have the internet on my turf.
So far Oregon is lovely. We have a cute house with hardwood floors and a driveway... yummy restaurants... target, trader joes, old navy and starbucks nearby... what else does a girl need? Everday day we explore more... in between unpacking boxes, grocery shopping, and laundry. Oh, and our favorite past-time... watching the whole series of Alias from the beginning (thanks Mom). It's also nice to breathe clean air... like really clean cuz there's quite a few trees around here.
I guess that's it for now. Jason's almost done with the dishes (he's such a good man) so I'm gonna get ready for bed...
