Homeward Bound...

I will be heading first thing tomorrow morning to Portland, where it is supposed to be uber cold all weekend and possibly snow. I am very excited... although going through my closet and pulling out my cold-weather clothes last night, I have realized I don’t have many anymore. Monday it was 85 degrees here… this morning when I checked Portland’s weather it was 22 degrees. A bit of a difference, to say the least. I hope to motivate at least one of my friends to go snowshoeing with me… I’ll see if I can get them off their arses. I haven’t seen snow in years, and am excited to frolic in it with my dog (that lives in Portland with my dad).

I have been contemplating moving back to Portland, I think a weekend there that is clear brisk and cool, sans rain will almost convince me that I should. Although, strangely, I had a dream last night that some girl (I can’t remember whom) was telling me that she was hardly able to live through the 50-straight days of rain they had the last few months… that may be enough to remind me why I don’t live there now.

I also had a dream last night that I was with this Italian guy, oddly I don’t know him out of my dream, however he wasn’t faceless, I still remember what he looked like. He had a small daughter and I was excited to have her as mine and I was looking forward to having out little tan babies (in my dream I was hoping they would get my blue eyes). This is very unlike me. I do not think (or dream) of such things. Is this what turning 30 does to you? Oh God, please… no.

Speaking of kids, I have a nephew, Jordan, who is three years old. He is the cutest thing ever, blond hair in a faux-hawk and big blue eyes. Yesterday I received an email from my mother:

A family 'funny' Jordan has decided he wants to change his name to something other than Jordan. He chose "Josh" first and was told that wouldn't work [Jordan’s older brother’s name is Josh]- his latest choice "Diego" - isn't that a hoot? He is SO funny! A blonde-hair, blue-eyed, "Diego"...

By tomorrow evening I will be home hanging out with my mama, my sister and of course, Diego… enjoying the brisk air, drinking great beer and hopefully wading though snow banks.

You know I can’t go anywhere without my computer so I believe I shall also do some posting while gone. I have to do something on the plane, and writing blog entries always occupies my time well.
