Post-it: going away party

Part of the “stupid little post-it” series.

Ok, this one wasn’t so stupid, it was actually really fun. It’s only stupid because I abhor goodbyes and prefer to slink out the back door unnoticed and wait for someone to say “hey, has anyone seen Liz?”. Luckily my friends made me do it and showed up in full force to send me off properly.

Apart from supremely awesome friends, I’m most proud of this Pinterestable moment:

My inner Martha Stewart came out in full force and I managed to make these bear cupcakes.

Overall I decided to commit to a bear theme, which was a roaring success.

I’m not sure what else to say, except it was great fun, and I felt very supported. It was nice to bring a few groups together to meet each other as well. I feel pretty lucky to have good friends here, and hope to find some keepers in Juneau.

Oh, and now I have a ton of food and drinks to consume in the next 2 weeks. If anyone needs booze or tortilla chips hit me up.

Not the fridge of a person who is leaving soon

Post-it: Pen purge

Part of the “stupid little Post-its” series, in which I give you a glimpse into some of the “stupid little things” I’m working on to prepare to move.

I’m addicted to buying pens. I’m also really particular about them, and my mind changes inevitably after purchasing a large quantity of my “favorite”. As such I have a large stockpile I’ve been reducing bit by bit every time I move. I’m down to one file box full of pens and markers (not counting paint pens, isolated for safety, or colored pencils).

I got rid of a few of the dead, tired, or undesirable ones. I always do a test page:

Stupid little thing.

Post-it: Empty and clean flower pots

I spent about an hour collecting all of my indoor and outdoor pots, dumping out the soil and dead plants, then picking which ones to keep. For the keepers, commenced soaking and scrubbing them in my bathtub, disinfecting them, and putting them outside to dry. Stupid little thing.
