Ok Portland...I'll keep you

For anyone who doesn't already know me...I am not a fan of the heat. nope. not one bit. not at all. that would be no. I was probably born in an ice cube if that tells you anything. So, during my third lovely summer residing here in Portland, OR she (I decided today Portland was a "she"...because only a woman would do this...and yes, I am aware I am one) anyway, SHE decided to have a record breaking heat wave last week and while we were only 1 degree shy from breaking our all time high of 107 degrees, we had 3 days in a row over 100 and then proceeded to have 10 consecutive days over 90 degrees. Let's just say...I was not a happy girl.

BUT I survived and when I woke up this wonderful August morning to a gorgeous 60 degrees and only a high around 80 degrees today I decided to keep her. So, for now I will unpack my bags and cancel my plane ticket to Alaska. Thank you Miss Portland, all is forgiven (shhhh, she's secretly dating Seattle...don't tell anyone) and yes, I am a complete nerd.
