Wild Abandon in Oregon

We decided, on our way home from Portland, that Oregon should change its state motto to "The State of Wild Abandon".  However, Oregon, already knows this and in 1987 made their state motto "Alis Volat Propiis" - "She Flies With Her Own Wings".  She does indeed.

Aside from late night heart attacks (missed phone calls at 3:15 am and very little sleep trying to find out if Aurora or Eddie were hurt - they weren't, it was only a phone roll over) and the occasional work interruption, we started our day just right.  We decided that deciding upon a breakfast location was just too difficult.  We took Oregon up on her vibe and drove to Belmont St and when we saw the small sandwich board stating "Wild Abandon" we knew we'd found it!

It is a cozy little place with lots of lovely lights.  You'll know it when you see it because all the stars hang out there!

The woman serving was a delight and as she sat us she exclaimed she had the perfect spot for such lovely smelling ladies.  And we admitted most of us had showered just for her.  I would have taken her with us, but she had a squirrel on her shirt.

The menu is yummy, but we managed to narrow it down.  We didn't take any pictures of the food because we were all too busy having an orgasmic experience to stop eating. 

We ordered the Dulce de Leche (Yummy), coffee, some of us started the day with mimosas to break in the long day of drinking proper, the Enchilada Fritta, the Pulled Pork Hash, Eggs Benny and The Wallace and Gromelet (goat cheese and Parmesan) and the most delicious biscuits and then tomato, basil and Parmesan scone.  My mouth is watering just imaging it all again.

(Isn't it amazing?  I want to go back and have more brunch and lunch and dinner and dessert!)

I think I should live with Wild Abandon more often.

Here We Go Again

Just a week over our year anniversary to the most magical road trip ever. We've had other fabulous road trips, to be sure, but the first amazing one to PDX changed my life forever and ever. 

And this weekend we are headed back.  It is sure to be different.  We are in different places in our lives and traveling with different people, but after the amazing anniversary celebration of the second weekend in March the universe gave me, I'm anticipating this to be just what I need: carefree girl time.  Most of you know, or can guess, it involves a lot of telling stories about the supernatural, reading horoscopes, reading tarot, talking about all sorts of things Cosmo tells us and whether or not we've tried them and liked them and how to improve them, lots of changing of playlists and singing, and occasionally talking about boys (except this is best saved for when drinks are readily available).

I hope to see a couple of friends, at least for a few moments, since last time (in November) that didn't really end up happening.  Oh, and let's not forget the wine and the beer.   And maybe see if there are any more moths out and about and how they compare to our local variety.

Hope to have some fun updates for you, since we all know about these curious little adventures in which we sometimes find ourselves.

Irrational

I find it only fitting after the sheer insanity of the weekend that we find ourselves celebrating Pi!  Woot for being irrational - it is one of my favourite things to do (along with being delusion).

Choo Choo made the amazing shrinky dink accessories.. a Pi brooch and two pi earrings, one white and one black, plus a flower earring since I rarely wear matching earrings anymore.  Why?  Because I'm irrational.  Or, as Hannah and I proved on our night out Friday, "I'm a single adult woman and I can do whatever I want."  And boy oh boy was that a fun motto!

If I look slightly like death warmed over, it's because of the wonderful shenanigans that ensued due to the cosmic collision of the following: Friday date night with hottie Hannah, Saturday International Fanny Pack Day AND international costume themed birthday party, followed up by Sunday's day long movie shoot for Zack's new film.  Yes, world, that IS a whole lot of drinking and flirting.  Two things which I do incredibly well.

OMG LOOK! Irrational VamPIres!!!!!!!!!

Yes, my brain just imploded with the awesomeness of it.

Go do something irrational; you're sure to get a kick out of the results!
