A Little ♥ and Soul

There is a certain website out there in the land of internet that has caught on like a wildfire. Seriously. If I didn't have to work and/or people just gave me money to sit around all day to play on this website, I probably, maybe would. Okay, maybe not all day. Anyway,  Pinterest  is probably one of the biggest time sucks out there. And I mean that in the kindest of ways. Basically, it's a virtual pin board for anything crafty, holiday ideas, clothes you want to try, recipes that make you salivate just thinking about them. It takes the manual labor out of the equation. No scissors. No glue. No buying poster boards. For OCD people like me, Pinterest keeps it all stored in one spot and arranges any post into the category of my choosing.  Anyhow, the whole point of me sharing this, is that on one of my pin boards, there is a certain pin that has reached epic proportions. I mean for someone who isn't in the business of photography or doing anything creative as a full time

So...I went into Portland today with my roomie/bestie. We saw this little park in the middle of the city and they had these cool little elephant statues and I just had to take a photo.  Aren't they cool?  This was our second/final stop of the day. Seriously, these donuts may not look so good, but believe me, they are so worth the 10 minute wait. Ask for a Voodoo Dozen. :-) And the crowning moment of the whole trip into the city... well...I guess you can't really tell, but we spent the most of our time in Powell's City of Books. This is a photo out of the 3rd floor window of the Pearl section - photography/coffee/art room. Powell's City of Books is seriously the biggest bookstore I have ever seen in my whole life. F O U R floors of 12 foot tall bookshelves on every subject you could possibly think of. It was seriously heaven on earth for me. I could have spent all day in there.  Anyway... spring is here. kind of. The weather here h
