Everything you've heard about Portland being its own culture is true. If you're a hipster, this is the place for you. Its hard to explain but it really is exactly like the show Portlandia. Lunch restaurants' today and yesterday menus have lots of gluten free, vegan, kale, grain-free, jackfruit, hipster food. Seriously, people just look different here.
Schools were closed today because there was snow. By 11 it had mostly melted. Its cold though, much colder than I had hoped for. After lunch, I dropped Ben at work and wandered into a few shops, including Collage, one of my favorite art supply stores. As I walked around the store, though, I kept thinking of my basement with boxes and boxes of unused art supplies. Dan and Dana are really into uncluttering their house. If something doesn't give them joy, out it goes. Maybe part of my problem is that so much gives me joy -- even the 8 Disney mugs up in the kitchen cupboard that I hardly ever use. I remember our trip to Disneyworld with my mom when she bought them. And, the artwork on them really is beautiful. Maybe when I get home in March, I'll reevaluate some of my stored stuff again. or not.
