A nice quiet evening at the house, fixing stuff.

Working two doors down from the Thai place means delicious food on the shops dime.

december 28, 2011

After work today Daryl and I went over to my parents house to organize stuff on work on our sled. I’m so excited to use it this weekend!

Happy New Years Eve! Daryl, Nick, Ozzy, and I skinned up near tree line at Mt. St. Helens today and got drunk at camp tonight. A great way to ring in 2012!

[And so concludes another year of Photo365.  Tomorrow starts year four!]

I love Fort George with my sweet honey!

Foggy day over the river!

december 22, 2011

We basically have a never ending rotation of guests in the house and one of them must’ve eaten something…

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

I love Sasha-girl.

.347
december 13, 2011

The owners of this house discovered this old sign while they were renovating. I love the history in Astoria.

.348
december 14, 2011

I love when we have fires.

.349
december 15, 2011

Daryl and I made this awesome red curry, lemon, zucchini, squash, chicken dish for dinner the other night. Left overs are awesome!

december 16, 2011

NIne days until Christmas! Breaking out the holiday earrings!

.351
december 17, 2011

The Explorer misplaced his hat months ago. We looked and looked and had decided he must’ve left it on Mt. St. Helens last March (the last pictorial evidence of it). He finally found one online last week and ordered a new one. Literally days after it came in the mail, he found his old hat stuffed in a pocket of a jacket.

I love cleaning out my room at my parents house and finding gems like this. As a general rule, if it was taken in Alaska, I’m adorable and it becomes my new favorite photo.

.341
december 7, 2011

I found my collection of Jones Soda Bottles in my old room today. 53 bottles, mostly all Fufu Berry, every single one a different photo. And thanks to the 5¢ Oregon deposit, I’ll get a whopping $2.65 for them all!

.342
december 8, 2011

If I weren’t fervently wishing for rain so it would snow on the mountain, this would be the most beautiful day in weeks. However, it is December in Astoria and it should be raining so that the mountains can have more than a [melting] 39″ of snow!

.343
december 9, 2011

We came home today to discover a 250lb bale of Hops in our living room. The house smells delicious!

.344
december 10, 2011

We’re all classy in this house and drink [nearly an entire bottle of] wine out of mason jars.
Note: Willamette Valley Vineyard Whole Cluster Pinot Noir is delicious.

.345
december 11, 2011

To continue our nice streak of making awesome meals, we made a delicious potato, onion, garlic, Polish sausage, and aged white Cheddar scramble this morning. Om nom nom.

Major blanket of fog over town today. This was taken at noon!

.333

How to make the newest Subaru look even dumber: lift it an inch or so.

.334
november 30, 2011

This is some of my favorite light in Astoria. Nearly cloudless skies as the sun starts to set.

.335
december 1, 2011

The bartender at Baked Alaska made me a delicious mystery drink tonight. Yum!

.336
december 2, 2011

How to deal with a VERY full Mason jar growler!

.337
december 3, 2011

My sweet Explorer, Nick, Ozzy, and I skinned up Mt. St. Helens today! A great first day out on our skis and a much needed recon mission for our New Years’ Eve trip.

Jc leaves for the Navy this week so she had a great going away bowling party tonight! So much fun with great friends!!

I’ve lived here for two weeks now and this is the first time we’ve all been on the same floor, let alone the same room, of the house!

.326
november 22, 2011

Sasha-girl is so silly!

.327
november 23, 2011

The house has smelled so amazing all day from Spencer and Polish’s preparation for the house Thanksgiving dinner.

.328
november 24, 3011

This year I some how took over the making of the pie for Thanksgiving dinner. So good! I make a good pie!

.329
november 25, 2011

I like my new ritual of drinking beer and reading ski magazines at night.

.330
november 26, 2011

The Explorer and I finally made it into the Columbian Cafe this morning for brunch. I had the most amazing and delicious spinach and cheese crepe. Accompanied by the cutest man on the planet and a mimosa, it was perfect!

.331
november 27, 2011

Finally finished my second pair of birthday socks. After, I organized my knitting stuff and got everything set to start my second prototype ski hat, only to discover I need a new set of circulars and the shops had closed by then.

november 14, 2011

After making a trip to the coin shop in Longview, I stopped by Target and bought a new train case (my old one was nearly 10 years old and falling apart) and notebooks for knitting things.

.319
november 15, 2011

Any time D and I come home, Sasha is immediately at our feet, begging for pets. Such a wonderful girl!

.320
november 16, 2011

I’m working for my Dad, doing inventory and data entry at the shop, while I’m back in town. Thank goodness for good tunes and coffee!

.321

Spencer bought Sasha a keg-collar! It’s even engraved!

Silly Ozzy, tearing up his favorite toy!

After nearly three years of dating my Cave Man, I finally went caving! Daryl, Nick, and I went to Ape Cave up at Mt. St. Helens today. It was so cool!

I know it’s silly to love grey days, but I ADORE grey days in Astoria. A wonderful first day back.

.312
november 8, 2011

Tonight D, Spencer, and I got drunk with Polish’s very Polish Dad and Uncle. It was awesome. I’ve never drank with someone I absolutely did not speak the same language as before.

.313

Gorgeous night.

Silly Sasha.

We’ve started collecting Happy Hour menus. Fort George beer for a dollar less than at the brewery? Yes please!

.316
november 12, 2011

My favorite river.

.317
november 13, 2011

I do believe I am now fully, but minimally, outfitted for our trips. There are a few things, like a technical shell and a ThermaRest Ridge Rest sleeping pad, that I’d like and would definitely make everything easier and more comfortable, but we could leave today and I would be fine!

Moving day! Since Becky and Keara moved in before me, I had never seen the apartment completely bare before.

.305
november 1, 2011

I don’t even remember taking one of these home with me after the Brew Cup, but since I found one in my car while packing, it must’ve snuck its way in.

.306
november 2, 3011

Becky and I caught happy hour at Deluxe tonight after she finished some school work. Pomegranate Drop!

.307
november 3, 2011

It’s probably good that I didn’t discover Joe Bar until now – I definitely would’ve spent all my money and spare time there!

Mary, looking stunning as usual, before our opening night show!

It was my last day at work today. =(
My favorite morning customer gave me a card and my favorite afternoon customer brought me flowers!

october 25, 2011

My first day of unemployment went like this: sleep in super late, walk to QFC to buy breakfast things, walk home, make coffee and pancakes topped with Marionberry syrup. Pretty fantastic!

.299
october 26, 2011

Lynne’s birthday!! Lynne, Jc, and I went to Tavern Law and drank fancy drinks!

.300
october 27, 2011

After lunch with Karyn, I went to Target and finally found the case for my camera!

.301
october 28, 2011

I went to visit work and steal boxes. It was raining by the time Selena and I left, so clearly, I had to hide.

.302
october 29, 2011

After loading all my furniture into the UHaul, Daryl and I met up with Amy and some of her friends for wine tastings in Woodinville. Afterwards we ended up at a Halloween party.
No costume? No problem! Open a bottle of wine purchased at the tastings, drink. Instant costume: wino!

Long day of New Vision rehearsal today. So excited for the show next weekend!
