Life on the campaign trail...

Things I have realized while being in Colorado:

1. I don't have much free time. In fact, the only reason I have free time right now is because our reporting site is down for maintenance.
2. I don't need free time because I don't have any friends here.
3. I hate driving. The 18+ hour drive from Portland was bad enough not to mention the 20 miles I drive to the office each day.
4. I am so in love with reading the bible every morning. I've realized even more how I can't make it through the day without it.
5. I miss the West Wing, Pop Tarts, TCBY and red wine.
6. Although winter is my favorite season, I don't like cold weather.
7. I absolutely love coffee! I didn't drink it much this summer and I can't figure out why not.
8. I miss my family and friends, but I know now that I could move away from everyone and be alright. (not that I'm going to)
9. Campaigning is not the lifestyle for me, but I think if I didn't experience it I would always wonder.
10. Public bathrooms,no matter where you are, are disgusting!

Meat-less balls

Recently my roommate and I have fallen in love with meat-less balls. Yes, we have also enjoyed acting like seventh graders and making ridiculous jokes about balls in general. While this is way off topic of something meaningful, I decided I needed a good laugh-- especially given the past few weeks.

I read this article on the Portland Mercury's blog, and decided I need to get this cookbook. If not for myself, then definitely as a gag gift for my roommate.
