Spring is here, more or less...

In a few minutes I'm going to my friend's house for a craft night. I'm trying to decide whether to crochet, cross-stitch, draw, or make jewelry. Gee, I'm crafty!
Life in limbo is actually pretty good. By limbo I mean that OHSU has placed me on the waitlist - so I can potentially be accepted anytime between tomorrow and mid-June, or not at all. Also in limbo - we are between grants with the doula group, so I have no births going on right now. But I have been called back in for a second interview at a restaurant downtown because they were "very impressed" by me.
In the meantime, I've been traveling and reacquainting myself with the outdoors.
I visited Julia for a week, went snowboarding and snowmobiling! It was tons of fun and much needed. Then Lindsey came to Portland for a few days and we drove to Boise to join up with Kathryn for a week of reunited friendliness. We speakerphoned Abby so we could at least share a conversation as the fab four.
I'm finally playing some ultimate frisbee again with a great pick-up team in SE Portland. It feels good (and bad, pant pant pant) to play again. I have to get back into shape so I can keep up. Three hours of casual ultimate with no breaks is tough on this lazy girl!!
I'm also really excited that my mama is finally coming to visit me out here!
I took a hike with some new buddies out in the Columbia Gorge and it was so amazing. I'm in a rainforest, and it's still pretty rainy here, so everything was exceptionally green and the plush moss covered everything. Oh I just loved it!
I posted tons and tons of photos on flickr today, including finally getting up the rest of my cross country trip photos from last spring. Check it out here.
Love!
