Another beautiful day in Portland. In one hour and twenty minutes I can say that my parents will be here the day after tomorrow. I can not wait. For breakfast at Jam. To show them the Coast. To have them in my apartment. To have mom mom in my yoga class. To show them the mountain. All of it.
I am staying up way too late watching Say Yes To The Dress. I can't imagine spending thousands of dollars on a wedding dress. I can't imagine spending thousands of dollars on anything.

This is one of those absolutely perfect Pacific Northwest summer mornings. The air is crisp, the sun is shining and there's not a cloud to be found in the intensely bright blue sky.
Keith and I are drinking coffee and listening to Jane's Addiction. Three days, to be exact. This is one of our favorite songs. I remember listening to it on repeat in San Diego back in 2004. Ahhh, memories! I also remember seeing Jane's Addiction live at the Sasquatch Festival in 09 and they opened with this song. I thought I was going to pass out. I love it so much!
I bought a different kind of coffee this morning at Trader Joe's. I always buy a dark roast because I like a good strong cup of coffee. But today I decided I'd try the medium roasted 'Wake Up Blend' because it's fair trade and organic. It's definitely lighter than I'm used to, but that might not be a bad thing. And it's smooth, oh so smooth. Also, since my parents will be here on Saturday I thought my dad might something a little lighter. Thank goodness it tastes good because I bought a 28 ounce can of it! Should be lasting for quite some time...
I'm off to enjoy this day.

annoyances
I am about to go nuts. I'm sitting in my living room drinking coffee between my morning yoga classes, and this guy is outside with a leaf blower. Not just any leaf blower, but some sort of industrial strength leaf blower. It is so loud, and the start and stop of the sound is really making me want to go outside, snatch the thing from him and toss it in front of the Max.
First of all I'm wondering, why do you need a leaf blower at all? It's summer! Then I'm wondering, why is it taking an hour to complete this task?! And, why are you in the same spot the whole time?!
Make. It. STOP!!!!!

cuteness
I changed the linens on my bed today, and was surprised when Simon didn't try to get out of the way. Not only did he not move, but he also allowed me to put the fitted sheet on top of him, and then he didn't want to come out! I let him stay in there for about 10 minutes, and when I made him come out he let out this pathetic little meow. Poor Simon. He was having so much fun!

exciting things
A visit from my parents, The Yoga Roundup, a 10k run, a trip to Salt Lake City... these things are all in my immediate future.
I am smiling.

It's been a while since I've written here. I've been writing more on my yoga blog, so you can keep up with me there if you'd like.
Keith and I have a had a great day together. We walked to Cloud Seven Cafe this morning after I taught my first class and had coffee and bagels outside. It was really nice. We had been wanting to try that place for a while, and I give it a definite A+. I had a sesame bagel with cream cheese and one of the best cups of coffee I've ever tasted. Pretty delightful. After that we went for a run around the waterfront. Also delightful, but in a different way. It was really beautiful, but quite the challenge for me. We started running as soon as we left our apartment and pretty much didn't stop until we crossed the Hawthorne Bridge. My guess is that it was 3-4 miles. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but I am not much of a runner. I enjoy it, but when it's warm (borderline hot) and sunny I find it to be pretty difficult. Not only that, but I haven't been doing much running since I got home from Virginia because I'm been focusing so much on yoga. I came home after the run and made a delicious smoothie (tomatoes, zucchini, yogurt, rice milk, spinach, collard greens, apple, strawberries, banana and avocado), but Keith went straight to the gym to lift weights for an hour. He's a trooper. He's also faster than me, so it was tough to keep up! But inspiring, nonetheless.
I'm teaching a sunset flow class in Julia's backyard tonight and I'm really looking forward to it. We've invited a bunch of people in hopes that we can wrangle together about 8-10 people. I love yoga! And sunsets. What could be better?
