Hmm, how did those March goals go, you ask? Not so well, truthfully. This month I was really busy - two jobs and two trips to Portland, OR. Portland is one of my favorite towns to visit. It's so much smaller than Seattle and has a hipper (albeit less international) vibe than Vancouver. My favorite places there include (like everyone else) Powells Book Store, Voodoo Donut, and the Saturday Market. The last time I went down I went with my friend Molly, who lives in Vancouver. We stayed with her friend and had a great time exploring Portland. Now I have a few more locales to recommend to people: Bridges Cafe, Academy Theater (where we saw the 2 hr. Mad Men premiere with other fans... usually I'm a sucker for Living Room Theaters, but you can't beat the charm of Academy!) and Anne Amie winery out in the Willamette Valley, where I tasted the best port I've ever had!
That being said, I didn't get a lot of work done on my happiness project, although it was on my mind. I'm going to have to reprise some of my goals for next month, including finishing my online classes, writing to my favorite authors and running three miles. My online classes are going slowly, as I can't seem to dredge up motivation for them, and although I'm excited to write to those two authors that knock my socks off, I am finding it hard to just sit down and put my thoughts on paper. Running three miles will come soon, I think. I have to cross my fingers that my knees hold up until I can get health insurance. :o) 2 miles and the right one turned black and blue! Yikes. That being said, I'm still pursuing running (and I've done well with my "goal" of exercising at least every other day).
Maybe I should make keeping up with my happiness goals a happiness goal for next month?
