Quick update

I just realized that I haven't blogged for a while so here is a real short update:

1) Got sick with a *cold a week ago
2) went home for the weekend where said cold turned out to be the real flu
3) slept, slept, slept, ate, slept, pet the dog, slept.. you get the picture
4) came back to Hillsborito
5) work, still sick, dr
6) Bronchitis and ear infection, sweet
7) drugs, sleep, work, rinse & repeat
8) it's Friday.. YAY!
9) leaving for M's sisters wedding in Boise, ID. It is tomorrow and I am going to be the photog. Should be exciting. I am quite nervous!
10) Oh yeah, it is snowing and like the last week of March... We have SNOW... March, SNOW!!! Bleh!

So, there is the past nearly 2 weeks. Jealous, I know. Get over it! hehe :P
I fly out this afternoon for Boise, I just hope my ears can handle it, as it s they are still feeling plugged. I just hope that by the time I get back the weather has decided to get back to "normal", ie: not SNOW!

Ciao!

Hope ya'll have a good weekend. :)

How white are you?

Well for some stupid reason the link isn't working correctly... so you will have to cut and paste... darn it all!

Kitty at my foot and I wanna touch it!

So yeah, the Presidents (PUSA/Presidents of the USA) were in town last weekend. M and I went to see them. Killer show. They are so fun to see in concert. It was the second time for both of us and we had a great time. While standing in line waiting we met another couple who befriended us. After standing in like an hour, sitting inside waiting for the concert to start for an hour we exchanged numbers promising to call one another. It was so cute, kinda like meeting a guy/girl for the first time.

Saturday we took my parents to Kell's and had a great lunch. Decided not to pay the $20 to enter the tents and be around a bunch of drunks but to instead sit inside and enjoy the ambiance and being dry. :)

Sunday was the big Shamrock walk. Ok, so we kinda cheated a bit. Mom and I didn't sign up, Christy did (my aunt) and so did her friend. We (mom and myself) were just going to tag along and walk with the two of them. When we arrived at the walk to sign up, they were already out of t-shirts, even for the people who had signed up in advance. Kinda sucked. My aunt decided not to do the check in so we just started walking. Got about a mile in, saw a "finish" line of sorts and decided that must have been the end of the race. We instead decided to hit Mother's Bistro for their famous breakfast. I shared the blueberry pancakes with my mom and they were heaven! If you haven't been there before it is in downtown Portland and is a delight! Go now!

Last night went out with the boys for some Guinness and hard cider. The pub was good, service was slow as I dont' think they anticipated being as busy as they were. Was kinda disappointed to learn they were out of fish and chips after waiting nearly 2 hours to get food. Like I said though, beer and cider was great! Have you ever had a "Snakebite". Well that is what it was called anyway, 1/2 Guinness and 1/2 hard cider. YUMMMMMO! Anyway, happy late St. Patrick's Day. Hope ya had a safe one.

Tonight I get to go to Buffalo Wild Wings... can't wait! :D

A bit of this and that

I can't believe it has been over a week since I last blogged. Let's see... what has happened??

Gosh, not really much happened with the exception of my getting a new lens for my camera. It is sooo purty. The only major thing last week that happened was the opening/ reception of the art show in The Dalles that has some of my photographs in it.

Art Show


Had a lovely relaxing weekend. We lit up the bbq for the first time this year and had some friends over for dinner, after that went out to a movie with the girls.. and one boy (won't name any names, Blair you know who you are) hehe :)
Then after we went to Denny's for a bit of chit chat and totally fattening desert. Good times! Sunday was spent eating at the pancake house (i loves it!) then renting a few movies and napping on the couch. Totally lazy but much needed. We watched "Into the Wilderness", based on a true story. If you haven't seen it.. do. It was actually directed by Sean Penn, it is thought provoking, heartfelt story of a young man who sets our to find himself. What are you waiting for.. rent it.. GO NOW! :)

Have a wonderful week adjusting to daylight savings time.. gah! I hate it! It is far too early for me to go to bed even, but I must.

Nighty night!
