Hey. Sorry. I've been bad about keeping this up. Here's a pretty picture to make up for it. I went snowboarding at Mt. Hood on Thursday with my football-friend Greg. (We go to a Steelers bar together on Sundays to cheer on our home team.) Anyway Mt. Hood is big and beautiful. This photo is from not too far below the summit. (At the top of Cascade lift if anyone knows MHM.) The two huge snowy mountains you see in the distance are Mt. Jefferson and peeking out behind and to the left Mt. Washington. I love that you can see the clouds DOWN BELOW everyone skiing! This was around 11:30am. My muscles are still crying, it's been a while since they were used for snowboarding. Those aren't everyday moves, y'know.
My apartment is great, I love my landlord (except I don't love that his pipes wake me up in the morning when he uses anything water-related). No luck with the Planned Parenthood job, though I am still volunteering 1-2x per week. I'm applying here and there, but I (stupidly) have been slacking.
Speaking of applying: my OHSU application is in and I expect (hopefully) to hear from them about interviews sometime around X-mas. Rumor has it they try to get everything in the mail by then so they don't have to deal with it afterward. Send the admissions people lots of positive vibes for accepting me!!
December 2nd marked my 6th birth was a doula! I'm learning so much and feeling really wonderful about the support I am providing to women. I'm staying in Portland for the holidays and, since most of the doulas in my group are of the Christmas-celebrating variety, I offered to be on-call on the 25th. I hope I can be a doula for a Christmas baby! That would make up for not being with my family.
Cheers.

(posting for Andrea)...There are two people who are sadder than you that you are going to be home alone for the holidays...your Mom and Dad. It has been at least 23 years since we spent Christmas morning without a child to coo over and we just don't know what to do with ourselves. If it weren't for the fact that Grandma and Grandpa were here and they would miss us, we would come to you. Well, we console ourselves by believing that this is a temporary situation and that in future years we will be together again with Julie included too.
