Thanks to Matthew McConaughey and Oprah, I am now signed up to volunteer once a week doing admin-type work at the Children's Trust Fund of Oregon. I start next Thursday. I had the foresight to actually be specific with what times and amounts of work I'd like to do. In the past, I've just said "whatever works" and then I've regretted going too early or on weird days.
Today was a busier than usual day for me, which was a nice change of pace. I walked the dogs in the morning, drove into the gym to work out, grabbed a bite to eat (again at the street vendor The Whole Bowl), went to my volunteer meeting, then went for a hike with S and baby A. I got lots of baby-holding time in at the coffee shop before the hike. I'd never hiked in that part of Portland - it had beautiful views of the city. S is great to hang out with - easy to talk to and has a great sense of humor. I'd forgotten how much fun it can be just to hang out with a friend.
In news of The Amazing Race, I'm now rooting for the couple from Kentucky. They can be annoying, but they seem to have good hearts and I'm sure they can use the money more than all the other teams. I couldn't believe she had never seen an Asian before.
In stupid news, I'm pretty sure I had my contacts reversed for the last week or two. It was really hard to read the computer screen and the letters on signs were difficult to read. I tried switching them this morning and typing this post is much easier than it was last night. No idea how I managed to mess them up, but at least my eyesight isn't deteriorating as fast as I thought it was!
