I had an epiphany just a few minutes ago. I'm watching You've Got Mail on TV, Art just made dinner (which I am always thankful for) and I just had an epiphany.
I don't like lemon. At all.
Art made spaghetti and lemon chicken for dinner today, and I'm glad he did. The spaghetti was excellent. And I'm sure the chicken was good. But I don't like lemon.
How this never occurred to me before, I have no idea.
I don't like lemon water. I've known that for a long time. I don't like lemon in any of my drinks, and I've known that for a long time. No lemon tea for me, thanks.
Once, my dad made a lemony pasta. And I hated it. It was so hard to eat, I'm pretty sure I didn't manage more than a few bites.
And tonight. Art told me to finish my chicken, and I told him I just couldn't! Because I don't like lemon!
Okay, so there is the exception of lemon meringue pie. But I've been racking my brain, and I'm pretty sure that's the only one.
So there you have it. I just found out that I truly don't like lemon, and you just found out too.

Odds 'N Ends
In no particular order, here are some things of note in my life:
- Art put up our Christmas tree. It's three feet tall, and comes with lights. I might buy a few tiny decorations for it. I'm so glad we have a Christmas tree, even if it's so small.
- Our church handed out advent calendars to everyone on Sunday. I like my church a lot. :D
- My Bible study is almost done. Today is our last session. I'm excited (because Beth Moore is so amazing), but I'm also sad, because it was so amazing I don't want it to end!
- I still have a cold, and as of yesterday, I am 100% convinced I have bronchitis. I'm coughing non-stop, and I began wheezing yesterday. Thankfully, there's a large health food store in Bellingham, and they have some nice, natural remedies for these kinds of things (thanks Steve M. for the links). We went to Bellingham last night, and I picked up some natural cough syrup, Elderberry flavor. That stuff tastes so good!! Don't worry, I'm not chugging it. But I've taken it a few times now, and I'm hoping I'll start to see a difference soon.
- I slept without Nyquil last night for the first time in a week! I don't really go for cold medicines, but if I didn't take Nyquil, I would just cough all night, and keep Art up. But last night I didn't need to. Enough talk of colds and stuff. I'm sure you're all dealing with it too. It is "that time" of year.
- We are doing a Secret Santa gift exchange with our friends. It's nice to know that we won't have to buy lots of gifts, because we can't afford it. Man, what I wouldn't do to be earning some money right now.
- Art and I went to Canada last night to see a movie, as a belated birthday celebration. I had a gift card for the cinemas. We saw the new Bond movie. I heard some people say that they didn't like it that much, but I thought it was good. It had a lot of action, and some necessary character development. So Dad, if you haven't seen it yet, go watch it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Um, I think that's all the breaking news I have for now. There won't be anymore all-photos posts for a while. I have a few in-the-making, but they're not done. (Ya'll remember what a hassle it is, right?) Someone suggested I get a little device that I can put my memory card in, and then connect it to any computer, and that way I can skip the whole "old-laptop-doesn't-recognize-my-new-camera" frustration. The only problem is, my memory card isn't removable. So there goes that idea.
Anyway, I hope you are all having a great first week of December!

Pictures From Our Portland Trip
Here are some pictures from the weekend Art and I spent in Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA. Here's the link to a post I wrote about it, earlier this month.
This is where Art got his certification. H.E.L. stands for Human Evolution Labs. (See, it's funny because when you're working out, it feels like hell, but the more you work out, the more you "evolve" into a healthy, fit, strong person).
Art told me that when he drives on this bridge, he feels like he's in a rib cage. This is just one of the bridges that connects Washington to Oregon (specifically, Vancouver to Portland).
This was a little park near the bookstore where I spent the entirety of the second day. This was close to the entrance of the Chinatown portion of old Portland. Kind of random, but still cool-looking.
This was the entrance to Chinatown. I suppose it's a cool place, but not at 8:30am, when everything is closed, and you're all alone.
This is a plaque on the side of the entrance. You don't have to read it all, but I thought it was interesting that the names of all the donors were placed in a time capsule, buried beneath the entrance, and it's going to be opened in 2086. I don't know why, but that's what's going to happen.
"Okay, Jenene, what's so great about this? So there's a train station. Big deal."
I took this picture to remind myself of something I saw on the nearly-empty streets of old Portland, before 9:00am. On the street below this tower was parked car. The car was parked in the street. Not pulled over, just in the middle of the street. It was a really nice car. The engine was still running, and the trunk was open. On a strip of gravel at the edge of that street were parked a few old cars, and one of the old cars had an open trunk as well. And I saw a man. In a nice business suit. Pulling luggage (or something) from the trunk of the new car, and placing it in the trunk of the old, battered car.
I tell ya, the whole thing looked really suspicious. I'm sure you could provide for me all sorts of normal explanations, but I'd rather stick to my conspiracy theories. It's more intriguing. And like I said, I was there very early in the morning, and didn't see very many people, and most of the peolple I did see were homeless, and I didn't leave the bookstore once it opened, so this was basically the most exciting occurance of the entire day.
