Life as I know it now

I've decided to begin doing some blogging... we'll see how it goes.

HI blog, it's been a really long time. my life has been filled with twitter (@nikipoole) and Facebook. Today is as good a day as any to revive my blog again, May 1, 2011. May day. What is May day all about? I mean I'm sure I learned about it in school Years and years and years ago... but I think it's time for a refresher.

And while I go look up May Day on wikipedia, I might just win me some Swagbucks in the process...... what are swagbucks? well My next post will tell you all about them, I promise :-)

OK, So looks like May day is about workers rights. HUH well I guess that should be important to me since I just got a job!!! Yes that's right, I got a job (as soon as my background and driving record are checked it's official) at the Oregon Zoo driving the employee shuttle from the parking lot to the main gates during the summer. The employees have to park about 2 miles down the road due to busy/full parking lots. Basically it's a princess job lol I get to drive a van for however long my shift is. I mean AWESOME!!

I love the zoo. I take my son C there once a week. Something about sharing the things with him that I loved to do as a kid. Sigh. He's growing so fast. Tomorrow we're going to the momtopia event at Lloyd - the first Monday of the month is an hour long children's thing - last month was a bunny hop, Easter themed, and this month it's "all about mom's" C really seems to like the events once he steps out of his shell and stops being so shy.

We are sooo excited in my house, the Farmers market opens up again for the season on Thursday!! It's located on 20th ave off of Hawthorne in the parking lot of Hinson Baptist Church and we LOVE it! It is so amazing to eat fresh produce regularly. The biggest reason I dislike winter is the lack of fresh - now don't get me wrong, I know it's worse in the Midwest, but it's really awful not to be able to eat fresh tomato's or corn on the cob or blueberries fresh off the bush omg I can't wait till Thursday!! *Drool*

OK, enough for now. Don't worry, I'll remember my promise and tell you all about Swagbucks in my next post. :-)
