Steel Bridge (February 14th)

Happy Valentine's Day

I always think old antique-y pictures are so romantic looking so that's what I'll give you for the V-day post.

Another shot from my bike on the Broadway Bridge.

Fremont Bridge (Feb 13th)

Due to car troubles, I've been riding my bike to and from work and it's been so refreshing. I love the time I have to gear up or wind down for or from work. It's not a tough ride and I love the energy I get from the thirty-some minute bike ride.

I like to stop on the Broadway Bridge on the way to or from work because it's just so darn beautiful.

Good Winter (Feb 12th)

I love the band Bon Iver, one of my favorites of all time.

I always play the album at work and one of the girls asked me where the name came from. I had no clue, so I did what people do when they don't know and I googled it.

Bon Iver means "good winter"

I like that.

Under the table (Feb 11th)

I don't stretch or sit on the floor often, but I did both the other day.

African Charlie Brown Tree (Feb 10th)

Isn't my little plant cute? My step-brother and sis in law got me this plant for Christmas a few years back. I had just gotten back after a summer in Malawi and was obsessed with all things African. I was so excited to have an African plant but nervous about killing the thing. I felt better when Deane told me that I only had to water it like once a month, which is great because that's about how often I remember to water it.
It's an odd little plant, but I love it. I just look at it and in my head cheer for it,
"grooooooooow little buddy!"

Good Day Sunshine (Feb 9th)

Spring is coming! I love waking up to sunshine. I love how it just pours in through the windows. It makes me actually want to wake up early and enjoy the day rather then rolling over and sleeping a few more hours.

a do run run (Jan 8th)

It was a gorgeous afternoon in portland today. I could have gone running. I would have been so proud of myself if I had, but I did not. I went for a long stroll along the waterfront with my camera and got the same adrenaline rush and endorphins that follow a good run.
