Even though mine was the last post on here, it was just pictures so I suppose I will write out a full post updating those that read this blog on my life. I'm gonna do this bullet style though because I am too lazy to write out full paragraphs.

• I can't believe it is almost October and it will soon be a full year since I moved up here from San Diego.
• I watched a few new(ish) movies recently, all of which I recommend to some or all of you: X-Men: First Class, Bridesmaids (not for everyone), Moneyball, Conan O'Brien: Can't Stop (on Netflix Instant)
• Work is extremely busy. I had an intern over the summer to help me out with my ever-expanding workload but he went back to school last week so he left us. Since then I have asked the bosses for some changes in regards to my job and our department's structure. They are thinking it over but in the meantime, I am supposed to be getting a temp and I am anxiously waiting for our HR department to find that person as soon as possible so I can actually do everything that needs to be done.
• Four of my best friends are coming up to Portland next Thursday to visit for my birthday, the big 3-0 (yikes). Most of them are staying for a whole week so I am very excited to see them and show them around my new town. I anticipate a lot of eating since Portland has more than enough places to fill the week with deliciousness.
• Things are still going well with Kevin (the guy I am dating for those who don't know) and I'm enjoying the time I get to spend with him. I promise you guys will meet him soon...maybe. :)
• Speaking of, you should all watch "Grimm" on NBC starting October 21st. It is the TV show that Kevin works on. Let's do our part to get it picked up past the pilot!
• I'm taking a quick weekend trip down to LA at the end of October for Halloween fun with my friends that couldn't make it up here for my birthday. We'll be going to the Universal Studios Horror Nights again this year and I am very excited to see what changes there will be and see how absolutely terrified I can possibly get. I will miss the family Halloween party but you guys will just have to take lots of awesome pictures!
• I have a couple new restaurant recommendations in Portland for those of you who are here: Stepping Stone Cafe (breakfast), Casa del Matador, Screen Door, Pine State Biscuits, The Venetian (in Hillsboro)
• I am very excited for the iPhone 5 announcement that is happening next Tuesday for those of you who don't know (and care). I have been waiting for quite a while to upgrade my phone so I'm hoping these rumored possible shortages do not happen so I can get one as soon as possible.
• Pinterest has sucked me in and is a spectacular waste of time. But I still like it.
• I wore boots for the first time this season today and I have to say I am excited about the cooler weather, if only for the expanding wardrobe possibilities. Of course, I am fully aware that I will be complaining wholeheartedly come January. But for now, I am happy it's fall.
• You should all be blogging or on Twitter or both.
• Happy birthday, Adina!
• That is all.
