What Have I been up to?

Hmm I have been up to lots of things. Spooky things, sweet things and well all sorts of random things. For Halloween I dressed up as Uncle Sam seeing as how my name is Sam anyway. For work I just dressed up in my hat, bowtie and beard but at a Halloween party with Dan I work handcuffs and had a toy gun. The party was so cute with spooky cobwebs, lots of great food- mini hotdogs, some kind of cheese with pomegrante on it and veggie platter. MMM i ate so much and we watched some scary movie and told ghost stories. Then on Halloween night Dan and I went to Frighttown in Portland were they had 3 haunted houses to go into. They were pretty scary, the creepiest though was a big fat hairy guy with a crazy claw. Oh I also made some really cute cupcakes for Dan's YMCA kids. I went and read to them and played 4 square which is a really awesome game I never played before or didnt remember I had. Check out my cupcakes!

Autumn Fun

On thursday we all had the day off and went to Sauvie Island farms where we did very autumny things. Dan and my roomate Victor came and we ate delicious food like candy apples and corn on the cob, we rode a hayride, looked at some cute animals and did a corn maze. It was very autumny and i ate a bunch of pumpkin pie that day too. I wore my Christopher Brious Burning Leaves perfume and i was very in the mood for this outing!

lazy, hazy days of summer

Muy Muy caliente! Its been super hot here in portland, although that hasnt stopped me from riding my new bike around town and enjoying the last bits of summer. Dan and I went to our favorite spot Random Order cafe this morning and we bought him a bike this morning. Our new appartment is shaping up nicely, and I recieved a lovely care package full of goodies from my mom this morning. She sent me cat pjs, homemade wine and jam, money!, and socks...got to love the moms for sending the practical things. Going mountain biking tommorow on our new bikes! YAY SUMMER!

Mikay our house cat is excited too!

Drawings...

Feeling creative lately with the weather being so pleasant...have been chilling in cafes and such and going for long walks in the park. Today Dan and I went to Random Order cafe and had a lovely brunch and then went for a long walk in the sun. Here are some random sketches I have been doing as well....

Day Off, Out and About

Yay on Tuesday we had the day off and we started by going to mississippi ave to eat brunch at a nice restaurant called Muddy's. There were two really cute tan dogs, one which was a greyhound. I had a really good omelette and strawberry milkshake. The weather was beautiful and sunny and we went for a stroll in some shops, along the way we went into a plant shop and there was these really cute small chickens that would let you pet them! We also went into a comic book shop and a cool shop called Flutter with birds in a cage flying all around and random stuff like this small alligator thing. We ended the day chillining out in Peets coffee as it was really hot!

Long time, no blog

helooo,

i have been busy/lazy and havent updated for a while, but heres what i've been up to instead. I finally took a long awaited trip to Vancouver BC for 4 days. It is similar to seattle but slight differences. i met some really nice people at the hostel i was staying at and went to much of the sights including stanley park, the museum of anthropology and the art museum. On Sunday i signed up to see the anthropology museum at the BC campus and was the only one who ended up going but my guide Kangri was a Vancouver local and she showed me around and we had very pleasant time and went out to thai food afer. I also went to some restaurants and just walked around taking in the scenery. The train trip up was very nice, when it wasnt delayed but customs going into canada are crazy now. Here are my pics, enjoy.
