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 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 ;)
Day 39 - Vacation to Vancouver BC
My sister and I stayed overnight in Federal Way on Thursday so we can see our friends this morning. Their little girls were freakin' adorable! We then drove through Seattle up to Vancouver BC for our long weekend vacation. Look for more pictures over the next few days of Canada ;)
Day 38
First day of vacation... and this is the cleanest (and warmest) rest stop I've ever been in! Just had to take a picture to capture the rarity of it!
Day 37
I was bored... and I had to contain myself from making this picture even more creepy with Photoshop ;)
Day 36
I love walking around downtown Portland during my lunch breaks... I come across some of the most random things and see some of the most amazing buildings. This project is such a blessing because I am much more aware of my surroundings and it's like I'm seeing things new all over again. City Hall is something that I see on a regular basis, but on the day that I took this picture it just stood out.
Day 35
For 2009, my sister and I created little posters listing attributes that came to mind about each other. This is the poster my sister made up for me. I keep it in my room where I can see it everyday to remind myself that I am more than what my self-esteem says that I am.
Day 34
Where the bloody hell is Heather's passport?! My sister and I spent ALL DAY tearing our house apart looking for her passport for our upcoming trip to Canada this next weekend - with no luck! However, according to the Homeland Security website, all we need is our driver's license and a birth certificate to go over the border both ways (at least until July 1, 2009). I'm going to call them tomorrow just to make sure... otherwise it's $$$ to order a replacement passport RUSH - but we are going on vacation damnit!!!
Day 33
My sister and I goofed off a little on Saturday with an impromptu visit to Bullwinkle's Family Fun Center. An afternoon of cold grilled cheese, a White Cherry Slurpee, 890 game tickets, and one Jumbo Candy Necklace later and my sister and I were done acting like kiddies!
Day 32
These first 2 pictures are just from a common park area near where I work in downtown PDX. The last picture is just me wishing ;)
Day 31
My mom and I went to lunch and I got a couple of snapshots on the way back to work. My mom wanted me to take a picture of the reflection of the KOIN Center building on the side of the Keller Auditorium. The other picture is of the small courtyard/park in front of Portland City Hall.
Day 30
I saw this in a window on a walk downtown during my lunch. It was for a advertisement for HairM - a salon for men.
Day 29
There's nothing better when you're sick than watching a comfort movie... and luckily, The Princess Bride was playing on TV tonight. There's something about the name Humperdink that just makes me giggle!
Oh, and I kind of got a picture of Pip with his eyes somewhat open - finally!
Day 28
Meet my new toy! Heather and I found this little guy at Urban Outfitters and I had to get him to see what he could do! He's a 35mm Fisheye Lens camera (retail $48.00). Very retro, very awesome! I've got some practicing to do with him, but so far, I really like the effect of the lens. What do you all think???
