The Times They Are A Changin'

What fun would summer be if I didn't pack it up and move it out and keep a blog about it all? My most recent adventure finds me venturing back to Seattle...not so much by choice, but because this economy is in such disarray that I might classify as a complete idiot if I didn't take the job offered to me by my beautiful sister and the kind folks at the University of Washington.

Stable, regular employment. Ah, what a blessing. What a relief! My new steady requires I (wo)man the front desk at a research center on campus. Everyone I met with during my interview was super chill and the environment was perfect! School. I love school. I love that I'll be surrounded by grad students and professors who ride their bikes to work and can't be bothered to throw on anything more impressive than a t-shirt from their latest travels to Costa Rica or whatever.

The job is all well and good. Hell, it's great! But I am loathe to leave Portland even with the amazingness that is friends and family and ferry rides in Sea-town. I love Portland. Like full on want to make out with Portland all of the time, which faithful readers, is why this move is temporary to the fullest. I'll be back in Portland most weekends and I hope my Portland peeps aren't lying to me when they say they'll be up to visit me (H&M shopping sprees, ahem). I'm gonna save money like a mother f*cker and head back to rent myself a beautiful little house with a garden and a garage in the heart of Portland proper just as soon as I can.

And in the meantime...I am going to enjoy the crap out of this latest adventure. I had such a rollicking good time the brief year I previously resided in the Emerald city and I have no doubt similar shenanigans will again ensue. As for this blog, it is at once a selfish way for me to stay connected to the life I'm leaving, but also a way for me to update everyone on the haps in Seattle, while also chit-chatting with those I won't be harassing every day through text, or telephone, or frequent facebook hello's.

So please read and enjoy and comment as often as your pretty little heart desires. I'm totally selfish, it's true, but believe it or not, I want to hear about you too...(and we can make rhymes together!)...now I bid you adieu. <3, Lucy
