Just a tour de force of a performance. 😭 Remember, kids, communism is just a red herring.

Okay I am just so damn proud of myself. When I bought my house two years ago, I inherited this 70s disaster of a bathroom. Today I finished the upgrade, which includes sexy tile floors and awesome new wallpaper that I put up all by myself with not one other person helping me!!

A bathroom will upsettingly garish blue/green 70s floral wallpaper. You can’t tell in the picture, but it also had sparkles.

The same bathroom, with a fantastically tasteful glow up. The new wallpaper is pale blue coral and seahorses.

If you teach at a Catholic school and you give a stressed-out student a cookie, sometimes they send you perfect images to thank you. The kids are alright.

For anyone planning to fly into PDX for SAA in April, the Bulletin doesn't list the light rail option for travel. It'll take 45 minutes, but it costs pennies. Take the MAX red line from the airport toward Beaverton/City Center, and get off at the SW 3rd & Morrison stop. Short walk to the hotels!

This summer has been about trying new things. Took woodworking, took a fused glass class, currently doing six weeks of ceramics. I’m bad at it, but having a great time! Look at this silly, lopsided bowl-adjacent vessels!
