a wonderful day!........
I thought these were pretty hysterical because I can say "yes" to most of them or I do most of them! HAHA! Oh how i love being a Bendite!
You Know You're From Oregon When...
Your children learned to walk in Birkenstocks.
You throw an aluminum can in the trash and feel guilty.
You complain about Californians as you sell your house to one for twice as much as you originally paid.
You only honk your horn if collision is imminent and never for anything else.
You consider something a "hill" (not a mountain) if it doesn't have snow on it or has not recently erupted, regardless of its altitude.
You consider "etiquette" a foreign word.
Most of your friends are from California.
You find a wallet with $500 and give it back to the owner.
You used to live somewhere else but won't admit it publicly.
You've ever ordered a half caff/decaf, nonfat mocha grande with sugar-free cranberry whip (or you know what it is).
You know a bride & groom that registered at REI.
If someone ran your car off the highway, you might drown.
You'd be miffed if the store was out of your favorite brand of water.
Every day is casual Friday.
Hear the word "ferry" and think of boats and long waits.
Know at least eight people who work for Intel or Nike, or used to work for Tektronix.
You think skiing always means being covered from head to toe, in snow or water.
Know that Boring is a town and not just a state of mind.
Have actually used your mountain bike on a mountain.
You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit under a raincoat.
You return from a California vacation depressed because "all the grass was dead."
Remember the date, severity, time of day, where you were, and how long you were out of power and phone service for every winter weather event in the last five years.
Have ever called your insurance agent to ask if your homeowner’s policy covers falling trees, flooding, or mud slides
You never go camping without waterproof matches, ponchos, and mattress pads that double as flotation devices.
You believe swimming is not a sport but a survival skill to prevent boating deaths.
You own more than 10 articles of clothing that have the names of microbreweries/brewpubs printed on them.
You think downtown is "scary" because you were panhandled there, once.
You replace your hiking boots with Birkenstock or Teva sandals when the weather gets above 60 degrees.
You believe people who use umbrellas are wimps or Californians, or both.
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Oregon.
So today was such an incredible day!!! I had a presentation in one of my interior design classes this morning and it went REALLY well!! The teacher commented on how well drawn may displays were and how creative our presentation was! I love it when things come together! THEN... in my writing 121 class, the prof. actually gave me an A on my paper.... and it was just the rough draft! This is the teacher that said in the beginning of the year that she doesnt give A's!!! HECK YES!!! She totally loved my personal narrative about my great transformation in high school (basically my testamony plus a few other stories), so much so that we spent like 20 minutes just talking about my high school experience! So wonderful! I may actually pull off an A in that class!! :D THEN.... my computer class was cancelled today so i was able to enjoy this wonderful 72 degree sunshine here at OSU!! Gosh i SOOOOO cant wait till Spring Break!! March 17th isnt comin soon enough!! Well im gonna go lay on the grass outside and read my new book called P.S, I love you....Im a sucker for good clean romance novels!
