WHERE TO?

last winter we had so much enthusiasm & hope & stamina. now, this blog has teetered off (as many do) & most of us are out of the planning stages, having moved to that place we were dreaming of.

postgrad life is more disorienting than i expected, but i am still feeling right in the middle of that hopeful scheming that started last winter. i came home for the summer, & worked two jobs while trying my best to spend time at a local bike co-op. the weather is finally cooling off & i am feeling ready for a place that is more friendly to the way i want to live; i don't want to fear death everyday when i ride my bike to work.

if there is anyone still checking up on this blog, i am wondering where you all have landed. what's it like? are you feeling settled or thinking of the next place? have you found ways to live responsible lives that you are proud of while also being creative & having a lot of fun? i'd love to hear some tips.

this summer i learned that working 50+ hours a week can screw my brain, leaving me feeling very disorganized. i also learned that august is a rough month for me, & that spending time in the park (especially with a homemade kite!) feels awesome (even when there isn't wind).

feel free to chime in.

hope you are all well...

Greetings. :)

We just launched Olympia bookoo - a massive online yard sale for Olympia and surrounding areas. Thousands of people buying and selling used stuff from each other, in a family-friendly way. :) Here's the website:

We're getting the word out to some local bloggers, and would like to send you a free bookoo t-shirt (no strings attached!). If you would like a free t-shirt, will you send me an email at kellin@bookoo.com with your address and shirt size? I'll get it out to you right away.

Thanks!
Kellin
