Welcome to my house!

Howdy all! I decided to start a blog after spending a lot of time reading many other people's blogs. I live in Sisters, Oregon, with my partner PB. We're both lawyers for low-income people. There, that's pretty vague.

My current projects include renovating our house and finding a new job. I've made progress on the first, not so much on the second. This weekend PB and I finished painting our guest room a nice shade of yellow (Shortbread, if you must know). Maybe if we can get it together we'll post pictures.

We're also trying to have a baby. This is challenging because we are both women. We have been trying for quite some time and I hope to post updates on this subject, hopefully with happy news one day.

I've got a brother in Arizona, my mom lives in Portland (and has a boyfriend who lives in Salem), and my father (whom I haven't talked to in many years) lives in North Carolina with my step-mother. PB is an only child and her recently retired parents live in Florida. PB and I also have a completely cute tortoiseshell cat, who can be a total bitch when she isn't trying to be cute. Her name is Nutmeg. I don't think cats care about their privacy (except when taking a dump).

Some things I enjoy include playing video games, playing musical instruments, home improvement, woodworking, reading good books, watching movies and tv, and grilling. I have a ton of funny client stories, but sharing them here is going to be tricky. PB loves to cook and bake. She aspires to be a pastry chef. She loves to watch movies of all sorts. She also has a terrible memory, so she could watch the same movie multiple times and be totally content.

I think I lead kind of a boring life in which I cross paths with very interesting people of all sorts. Hopefully any readers of this blog will be somewhat entertained.
