…back on Sunday.

everything I’m looking forward to in my 5 week PNW summer.

In no particular order and with the expectation of multiple additions:

. courteous drivers
. rain
. trees, any kind that are not date palms
. kitties
. the ocean, a surfboard, my sister (and wetsuits… it is Oregon!)
. blueberries from Shirley’s house
. hugs
. waffle sandwiches
. friends who “get it”
. vegetarians and vegans galore… Vegebration 4.0!
. fabric shops
. the lake, a boat, snacks, and my family
. my mom’s backyard and the curly willow tree
. powell’s
. Jenny and Kevin’s wedding
. stop motion movie with Ashley
. Laurelhurst Theater
. finishing Truffaut’s Antoine Doinel series
. quality local produce
. canning in the kitchen with my mom
. green things
. chilly mornings
. thrift stores
. hiking
. fresh air
. my sewing machine
. the library

Letting it all hang out.

I wore this top to school a few weeks ago. Behold the most collar bone I’ve exposed at work all year. It felt scandalous.

Or kind of.

A few bits you might like to know:

. returned from Cairo wholly intact
. second round of food poisoning experienced last week
. my students finished up school last Thursday
. teachers finish up school July 8th
. currently have 5 different types of currency in my wallet
(which makes me smile like a nut)
-Emirati dirham
-Omani riyal
-Egyptian pound
-Thai baht
-Azerbaijani manat

And an explanation:

My internet troubles continue. Without boring you with the details… it’s an issue of not being able to access Flickr (blocked by UAE). I need to decide on an alternate photo situation which will probably just be using Blogger ImageShack. I’m just about ready to cave. You won’t be able to click through on a photo to my Flickr page anymore (Did you even know you could do that?).

Spending the weekend in Egypt.

No big deal…
