We're in Newport this weekend. Bruce found a cabin on the beach that we could all stay at for our house retreat. We've been playing a lot of games...taking personality tests...eating sweets (yep, we're eating sweets this weekend) and sleeping in!
This afternoon we took a walk down at the old historic bayfront. You could hear the sea lions barking down by the docks, so we headed down there. I think we stood there for about 20 minutes watching them lounge and occasionally bark at each other. They are hilarious to watch! And oh my gosh they're HUGE! I'm pretty sure they were at least 700lbs. each, not even joking! But wow, they know how to relax!
We're headed back home tomorrow. It's been nice to hear the ocean from our living room. The view from the window is of the ocean and a light house. I could get used to that.

It's a beautiful day!
It's another beautiful day here in Newberg! I walked to work this morning and tried to think up all sorts of ways I could move my cubicle out to the center quad. Can you picture a lone desk with a large computer outside in the lawn. I would love it! Patch all the phone calls through my cell phone!
It supposed to be in the high 50's today. The sun is out. I have seen more people taking walks and jogs. Even the smell of BBQ is out. I think we're all ready for summer!

A new discovery
A new discovery was made just a few weeks ago. It's not too often that I go clothes shopping, but when I do it takes me FOREVER to find something that fits just right. (you can verify that fact with my mom). I tend to be a picky shopper. Not that my clothes style benefits from it, I just like things to fit well.
A few weeks ago, I walked into Kohls to check out their 80% off sale. In bee-like fashion, I began circling the racks in no particular order. I bounced from one section of the store to another. My arms were full of great deals. As the weight of the clothes grew heavier and heavier I glanced across the aisle to see a few shirts I liked. Then some pants struck my attention. These pants were different from most pants. Oddly enough they didn't appear to need any hemming! I quickly dropped my arm load of clothes and snatched as many of these magical pants as I could and made a direct line for the fitting room. I tried on the first pair. To my great surprise they fit PERFECTLY! What was this great miracle that I had found?
Could it be? Yes, I am a petite....all these years and I have been shopping in the wrong section.
Mom, I'm a petite.
