So, yes, I'm listening to the Reds game right now. Reds lead the Pirates 5-1 after 7 innings. Ryan Freel tried to steal third base; the Pirates made a bad throw and he scored. Go Farney!
Anyway, I've had this whole week off work and, though I'd like to say that I've taken this opportunity to do some of the many new things I've vowed to experience in Portland, that would be a lie. I have, however, hung out in my favorite Portland places. I tell anyone who asks (and, let's be honest, many people who don't) about my favorite coffee shop. Costello's is a great little place. I love the coffee, the owners, the baristas, the little table by the window. They have live music, foreign language nights, and foreign films on Thursday nights. And they serve wine and beer, pastries, two kinds of quiche every day, soup, and --on the weekends--belgian waffles. Seriously, I love this place. You should check it out. Anyway, back in the day, I lived three blocks away from Costello's and went there almost every day. Now that I live a bit farther away and I have to leave for work before they open in the morning, I don't get to go there as often. This week, though, I got to be a regular again. Aaaah. That's nice.
I also managed to spend a lot of time walking around my neighborhood. Spring is my favorite season and I've enjoyed the tulips, daffodils, and blooming trees. Portland is pretty. I went downtown today and and had lunch at the best cart in Pioneer Square -- Honkin' Huge Burritos (I can't believe they have a website) and then hung out on the Waterfront for the afternoon with my book.
That's it. I can't say that it's very newsworthy, but Erin called me out. I had to post something.
Oh...and this one belongs to the Reds, 6-1.

That sounds absolutely wonderful. I have been taking Reggie for long walks around my neighborhood, but a book by the waterfront sounds delightful.
Dood love the new quote. Plus totally love Lily Allen's (same Lily Allen, right?) music!
