I know...it's been a while.

I needed a break. Badly.

My test results came back and you know what they said?...YOU'RE TIRED. No fooling?! I'm in 3rd stage adrenal fatigue, which I'm told usually takes years of high stress/emotional situations for your body to get to. O.K., that applies here. My thyroid seems to have taken a little vacation as well. Blah blah blah...Continue with diet, supplements and cut back a little on exercise for now. Add more yoga, make some lifestyle changes and relax . I think I will.


Last Wednesday I got on a plane to Portland to see my man. I thought I'd have a few days to cook and spoil him a little bit (which I love to do...but don't tell him that, he might get used to it!). He wanted nothing to do with it. Nope. He planned a little road trip to Seattle! To properly kick off our road trip, we decided to check out the highly rated Ken's Artisan Pizza. YUM is RIGHT!!
We got to Seattle Friday morning, tooled around the city and ate far to much (our usual M.O.). We got a great Hotel in the Queen Anne part of town, visited the Space Needle, Pike Place Market and in between, hit a Tri shop. It's fun to watch Mike checking out all the 'toys'. Great vice to have, huh? Seattle (like Portland) has so many great neighborhoods I could spend days checking them all out.

We got home Saturday night and was lucky enough to celebrate ST Paddy's Day with Steven and his wife Karen. What a great time! We hit Rock Creek Tavern for a few beers, burgers and my new favorite...CAJUN TOTS! Don't ask, its better if you don't know, you could get hooked!
Mike and I spent the rest of our time hanging out in Portland. Mike found a cool new wine bar Vino Paradiso. The food and wine was incredible. We eat alot, huh?


Monday afternoon came around far to quickly. It was such a great trip, even the flight home was quick and smooth.


This relaxing thing is kind of fun...you should try it. ;)

Live passionately!
