Wow, the weekend in Portland was so hot! I’m glad to be back in Seattle where hanging out in the shade means feeling at least 10 degrees cooler than being in the sun.

This morning on the #10 bus, a really normal looking guy in his 20’s was rocking out to that really really annoying song by Pink. You know, it goes like this “feel the rain of your kiss, nothing…” lalala I don’t know the rest. He was jammin’ to this song! It was so loud and there were a ton of people on the bus and you could still hear the song ringing from his ipod earbuds. Haha!

The next few weeks are really exciting. I'm very happy that summer is finally here. Next big thing coming up is CapHill Block Party and that is sure to be great fun. Also, Cairo Gallery has a new exhibit opening this weekend so I will most likely head to that too.

I’m addicted to rum drinks! Here is a picture of a drink I saw in the newest Bon Appetit.

I have to make this drink at some point this coming weekend!
