Nice view from my desk



The crap weather finally broke and it's been sweet all week. Suki was at work with me yesterday- regaining her title yet again as the cutest office dog- and likes to pass the afternoon watching the workers and people go by. They are putting up a 15 story building right outside my window which means I will no longer be able to see the Fremont Bridge. However, I will still be able to see Mt St Helens and if I want to see MT Hood, I can just go up to the roof. I know. Rough.

As I'm not much of a writer, blogging has proved to be a little harder than I thought. I am trying to resolve to be better at it, writing more often.. it just keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list with everything else going on.

So. Let's see. What's been going on.

Vin got back from a week back in Vermont. He fished in the LCI tourney and got to spend Father's Day with his dad. While he was out, I got dog duty and spent alot of time with them. We went on walks, took a walk with Heather and Mia in Forest Park, in the mud. We went to the dog park, etc etc. I'm still convinced that Sirius was dropped on his head when he was a puppy.



The World Cup is still going on- everyone at the office is pretty much just watching games out in the atrium. Not very productive. I love that is still falls within your job- hey- we do Nike soccer. Gotta keep up with what's happening in the sport, right? Those big white things are huge screens that the game is being watched on. I am still pretty slow here at work but that will be changing soon.

Wedding planning has been really good and sometimes bad. But it's getting done and I'm really excited about it. Our friend Jess is making the wedding cake and I can't wait to see what she does! She's an amazing chef...

Thinking about going to the coast this weekend. Check the dogs into boarding and get out of dodge for a night. There is a classical music festival in Astoria that I want to check out possibly. But then I wouldn't mind going to Cannon Beach too!

I just polished off a sizeable portion of Ranier cherries. I'm hooked on them. Especially since I tend to spill things on myself. No danger of dark red cherry juice and they are really tasty.

Well. That's about it for now.. Heather and I are meeting up at Whole Foods to pick up stuff for the grillout we're having tonight. Salmon kabobs and corn on the cob. Yum!
