Day 65 - Spring has come to Portland

It never ceases to amaze me after living in Portland for almost 7 years... how retarded the seasons are here! Seriously - I noticed that these flowers had bloomed during snow and freezing temps. So random, yet so Oregon. I love it!

Day 64

Again, this turned out to be a no picture day.

Day 63

This is BitBit at her calmest ;)

Day 62

Mmmmmmmm... Turkey Burger...

Day 61

My mom, sister, and I went to the Chris Tomlin concert tonight. It was amazing (all of his concerts are)! The sunset shot wasn't as dark and dramatic when I took it, but I like tweaking these types of pictures because they never come out right.

Day 60

I spent $5 on my first lotto ticket (not picture) today. I won $5 back and cashed it in along with a $1 winning ticket I forgot that I had in my desk drawer. I then spent the $6 I had won getting the four tickets pictured above. I won another $5 and spent it on another lotto ticket, which won me $7... which I ended up spending on another $5 lotto ticket. So, I won $17, but spent $15 of the winnings buying more stinking tickets. I ended up with $2. Yay for me! (It's a vicious cycle, I tell ya!)

Day 59

Dude, this new service thing, Clear, is EVERYWHERE! Today was the first time I saw their Clear-Mobile (ripped off from the Ikea-Mobile) and I snapped a quick pic as I was driving pass it. Ironic that the windows on the truck were dirty and I couldn't really see the "living room" inside all that well.

Day 58

For my sister's birthday (back in February), I got us tickets to see Kathy Griffin. It was a blast, to say the least, and her show was much funnier than I had hoped for!

Day 57

This is a snapshot of the song I was listening to when I pulled up to Subway to get dinner and found that they were closed due to "repairs". Ironic.

Day 55 & 56

Oye... it looks like I missed two days (in a row) this time! Crap! I'm slipping on this project!

Day 54

Yet another discovery on one of my walks through the Nike Campus. There are so many trails, I have no idea what I'll see next!

Day 53

This is just a random picture of the lock on my bookcase. I like the antique look.

Day 52

My office had sushi catered in for lunch today and I got a little too creative (and playful) with the left over wasabi and ginger. My coworker Liz thought bunny ears would add a nice touch to the picture ;)

Day 51

This is the best shot I got of my friend's other kitty, Blackie. He has a couple of extra digits on his front paws (along with several of the strays in the neighborhood) that enable him to lift off vent covers and close doors on himself.

Day 50

Everyone, meet Lexie. This little cutie is my friend's kitty. I'm taking care of her and her "brother" Blackie while my friend is in Mexico for the week. She's not terribly photogenic, but she is soooo freakin' adorable!

Day 49

Okay, I admit... this is not the best picture. But trust me - the sky was amazing right before sunset!

Day 48

I woke up this morning and decided to head over to the Nike Campus down the street from my house to attempt to walk/jog. I have this dream of becoming a jogger, but with my knee issues, I have to jog in spurts. Anyways, these are a couple of pictures I snapped along my workout. The fisherman happens to be a statue (if you can't tell), and the last picture is NOT a beaver. It's a Nutria. I walked right up to it and it just kept on munching on it's breakfast.

Day 47

It was bound to happen... I am human, after all.

I forgot to take a picture today. Crap!

Hopefully this will not become a trend.

Day 46

These are two coasters that my sister has in her room. I believe we got these in the UK, but I can't remember for sure... Good words, though.

Day 45

It was Mark's birthday, so I made him some itty bitty cupcakes... too bad he was home sick! I left one for him on his desk, but it was hard as a rock the next morning! At trust me - there weren't any leftover because most people had 3-4 each! Sorry Mark!

Day 44

Hmmm... can anyone guess who this is??? I don't have an obsession AT ALL.

Day 43

Last day of vacation. Only appropriate that I take photos of the apartment we stayed at right before we checked out.

Day 42

This was a super fun day in Vancouver BC! First, my sis and I went to the Vancouver Aquarium and got to see some really amazing exhibits and the most adorable Beluga Whales. The Jelly Fish are always my favorite creatures at aquariums and I thought it was cool that the Oregon Aquarium has some of the same species. Heather and I also went Canadian bowling again. It's a blast - much more fun than regular bowling! After our games, we went in to one of the most unique shops I've been in for awhile - Cherry Bomb. My friend Brian would have loved this store! We ended the day walking around familiar streets downtown, passing by the 2010 countdown clock for the Winter Olympics that are to be held in Vancouver BC ;)

Day 41

Heather and I went to the Capilano Suspension Bridge today. It wasn't as scary as I thought, thank goodness! The treehouse portion of the park was pretty cool. Walking up high in the trees was humbling, as the trees seemed even bigger than from the ground! The last picture is of the city from our building's window. It was a beautiful day and we got to walk around the city once again, this time around Robson Street. We discovered a bowling alley and attempted to play the Canadian way - way different from American bowling!

Day 40

Valentine's Day was spent galavanting around downtown Vancouver. We first hit the Chinese Gardens (1st one ever outside of China), then we walked around Gastown and shopped at some tourist traps. We then headed off to Fuel for Heather's birthday dinner - 5 courses of a lot of foods that we couldn't even pronounce! The salmon dish was my favorite ;)
