Tales from the Shoebox.

When Llamaface’s stepdad died a few weeks ago, it gave us the kick in the ass we needed to get our insurance policies in order & start making a will.  Because Llama is a perpetual cheapskate, he shopped around for insurance.  Not only were we missing out on a number of discounts that our agent never told us about, there had been a claim made against us that he never told us about!  Two hours on the phone with various representatives later and the claim was closed, but we still switched.  Car+renter’s+life for both of us=what we were paying for only car & renter’s with the old company.  Anyone in OR need a good agent, just ask.  U of O alumnae get 5% off car & 10% off life.

Mother’s Day was awesome.  International Rose Test Garden, brunch at Old Wive’s Tales, 3 hours at the playground by the Rose Garden, a skein of poppy-colored sea silk from Knit/Purl, Goodwill for new pants (didn’t find anything, sad face), and dinner at Salvador Molly’s in Hillsdale.

Portland folk should visit.  The complex’s pool will be open at the end of this month.

Internet is super spotty.  Check the twitter (in the blog sidebar) if I don’t post that often & you’re missing me.  Or you could, you know, call me.
