I made it!

Finally I have made it into Portland Oregon. What a crazy drive, and what a crazy time of year to move. I left two days after Christmas and started my 2400 mile journey. It should have been only four days, but wham, the blizzard of 2003 blew up in northern California and into Oregon. To make matters worse there are two very large mountains that must be crossed at the California and Oregon border. After talking like Arnold S. the entire trip, I went into little girl mode, as we made our way over the mountains. But let me tell you at some 4300 feet, and snow and ice on the road, it tends to wear you nerves down just a tad. The mountains finally crossed I made it up to Portland, unhitched the Bug from the Budget truck, and unloaded the beast. Just in time to go out for New Years Eve.

I went down to Pioneer Square in Portland Or and rung in the New Year, and then went out and had shots to warm up as it was freakin cold and rainy out. Finally made it home at 3am_ish. Woke up the next day and was snowed in! LOL. So I spent my first full day in Portland snowed in. You may have seen footage on the National news of cars sliding into each other. Yeah that took place here. I didn't leave the apt. as I don't have chains for my tires, and since I have not even seen snow in like 15 years, I thought it best not to drive on the stuff.

But I am here. Now starts the task of job hunting, and going out meeting new peeps. Wish me luck and send me good vibes.
