Shopping and Wine

Another delightful day in Portland. Though we did have a minor morning meltdown when we felt rain. Now you might be thinking if we live in the lovely city of Seattle we would be use to rain, and that would be true, unless you are an eighteen year old boy dressed in all of his finest attire. In which case you have a very cranky mother and a horribly loud son having a lovely family moment on the street corner.

I bought an umbrella and we started on our way.

I have lost a boatload of weight. I was large and now I am less large. Or as I say, I lost a third grader. I have lost over 75 pounds and while it was hard, I love the shopping for new clothes. New expensive clothes. New expensive clothes that make me look hot. The Diesel store in the Pearl District of Portland helps me achieve this. I appreciate them. The kid can wear anything and look like a million bucks. I have to search harder and the Diesel store makes this search very easy. Plus, I now wear a size 32 and will be celebrating later with the free wine cocktail hour in our hotel.

Wine and judging the other hotel guests just say party in my book. I am shallow in some ways.

After clothes comes coffee and then Books. The wonderful Powell's Book store did not disappoint me. I only made it through one floor but still left with two bags of books. Tonight will be a delicious night for me.

We ended the day with a mid afternoon viewing of the movie "He's just not that into you." Very cute movie and I enjoyed it a lot. It was the perfect movie for a raining day on vacation.
