Meh.
Today we are sorting through our business inventory as we prepare to sell off what is left of our company to a lucky buyer. Praise jebus for this woman...I didn't know what we were going to do with all of this stuff that is just taking up space in the mancave. Money is nice too.

Cutest Corn Ever
This is from our garden. Since we're wooded, we don't get a ton of sun over the entire garden, so some plants got part shade when they should've been full-sun. Our corn is delicious...but tiny. It's demicorn...lol.
Unity
Wow. Clio doesn't share anything...especially with the 'new' kittens (we got them back in June @ 6 weeks old). This just started this morning...so proud! This is all thanks to the squirrels that live behind our bedroom.

It's Alive!
Yeah, I'm a loser. I've been lost in the land of Facebook. Also, I'm a full-time student and have had way too much on my plate this summer. Sue me. Not like anyone reads this anyway!! Thought I'd share a mug of myself...Mr. Teddybear. Josh and I just got back from an OSA (Oregon Student Association) retreat. HARDCORE!! Josh is on the OSERA board, they help influence policy in the legislature for students equal rights. Anyway, it was 3 days of intense board meetings and many other non-retreat like events. There was really no rest, 14 hours of sitting, followed by nightly drunken (presumably, we only attended one for a few minutes) bonfires on the beach in Newport, OR. BEAUTIFUL, BTW.
Pics are Josh (on the left in the upper pic) and myself...also I didn't realize that James' butt was captured just to the upper right of my head, it's a good butt, I'm sure he would be pleased....lol)

Quick note...(revised to Long Note)
I've been too busy to post since we closed the house deal. We got the call and literally moved in that night. We couldn't get out of that awful little hell-hole with a raging bitch psychotic roommate fast enough.
I've had an interesting couple of weeks! We found all kinds of crazy stuff under the house when we were excavating....a bunch of random junk that had somehow made it's way down there over the last 60 years. I think the most interesting thing was the mummified cat. Jason found her (we're just calling it a 'her', I don't know why) buried in some sand in one of the corners of the crawl-space. The Egyptians couldn't have done a better job...she is preserved perfectly. It's gross and really fascinating. It's also a testament to how good our foundation is....bone dry down there. Anyway, as soon as I find the camera tomorrow I plan to post a picture, because it's just creepy and I know some of you will want to have a look.
We've done a crap-load of work on the place since we got in. We completely re-did the kitchen, installed cabinets and a new counter, ripped out the ugly old baseboard 'cause the place has central heat and air conditioning (RARE on the West side of Oregon), I don't know why it was there. Idiots. We painted our bedroom on Saturday and Sunday, which I don't want to do again any time soon....I like the colors we chose, but it took forever and it's so effing repetitive. This stuff and all the unpacking and organizing, and shopping for new fixtures and paint and this and that....we've spent I don't know how many thousands of dollars since last week. I'm afraid to look and see just how much.
I did all this with 2 ear infections, strep throat and a flippin' staph infection (picked it up in the dirty crap we hauled out of here, not cool)....and I broke a toe running through the kitchen and smacking into a door jamb...let that be a lesson to those who run in the house. I'm a trooper, I guess. I hope that I'm all done being sick for a few years...I kind of got hit all at once and it really wasn't fun for anyone. But, whatever. We got the house, now we can move forward and get things done in other parts of our lives.
We're openeing our business back up as of today. We already have orders to fill. One lady is driving all the way from Kennewick, WA just to pick up her order (she says she wants to see Portland, 'cause she's never been here)!!! Rock! Now I just need to get out the grinders and mills so I can start blending herbs and spices again...I haven't had the space to do it in 7 months and I'm losing my flippin' mind over it.
Cheers to all!!
