Last Saturday we went to Widmer’s Oktoberfest here in Portland. My only qualm with the event was that they were only serving Widmer beer, but that’s to be expected I guess. Not that I don’t like their beer, I do, I just like a little variety. And maybe an actual German beer since it’s, um, [...]
A wedding photographer and a happy checkbook.

So I’ve been a little lazy about blogging lately. I have a cupcake recipe I’ve been meaning to post for awhile but, alas, I’m still feeling lazy (so maybe tomorrow or sometime next week). Though I’ve been totally neglecting my blog, I have been busy doing other things, like wedding planning. The preparations are coming [...]

One in eight women are or will become diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their lives. Being that there are a lot of women running around out there, myself included, it’s likely that we all know somebody that has/ had/ or will have breast cancer. The Portland Race for the Cure event is [...]

This is one of my favorite things in Portland. =) It’s been replanted and the flowers were quite cheerful this morning as I ran by them. You can see the outline of the peace sign on google maps, but go down to the Esplanade and take a gander at the groovy flowers. They are at [...]
I get by with a little help from… Trimet.

Ok, so it doesn’t rhyme. Anyway, as you may or may not know Trimet recently cut back services on several bus lines that run in the Portland metro area. They left Fareless Square (FS) alone but it is apparently back on the chopping block. One option they are considering is removing the busses from being [...]

Portland and the rain
Posted in Prattle(ish), tagged Portland, rain on March 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It’s supposed to rain today. I actually am quite fond of the rain. It seems to be the main contributing factor to why the Pacific Northwest isn’t more crowded, but I’m quite alright with that. Portland seems to draw people to it, probably because it’s the cheapest city to live in on the west coast, [...]
