Katu.com says that in a poll by Harris Interactive, Portland ranks 8th among cities Americans say they'd like to live in or near. The first seven were: NYC (WTF?) San Diego, SF, Vegas, LA, Chicago, and Phoenix. I'm amused that Portland was the first city in the list that takes pride in what's not necessarily in the city, and what's not urban. We love our parks and the beach nearby and the mountains more than we love our city. Well, I do anyway.
Today I work for Donnita. So in half an hour I'll be making coffee. Woo freakin' hoo. It's all good, though. It means I get to go home at 2:30 and try to stay cool. I was thinking about dragging Cory to the beach this evening to beat the hottest part of the day, but I think he has to work until 5 anyway.

How are wedding plans?! Getting close now, eh?
wedding plans are good. looks like every single seat will be accounted for at the reception dinner, which is great but makes me nervous that i'm forgetting someone and then come the wedding day, i'll have to eat in the lobby so all our guest have seats!
It's just amazing that I've that many people on my friends list that are going there. :)
I like PDX, it has a MUCH better public transit system than Seattle does, bar none.
