Today I'm grateful for the start of the Blazers season... and for the fact that Erica and I will go together to the season opener against the Lakers. Yay!!!
I'm also grateful that rainy weather doesn't really bother me. It's pretty nasty outside, but in all the years I've lived in Portland, it's never really seemed to matter!
Finally, I'm grateful for old friends who seemingly out of nowhere decide to come visit for the weekend. I'm so excited to hang out with Iris in a few days!! :)
Love,
Katery

200th Post: 3 Gratitudes!
Wow... Katery Designs' 200th post! That's pretty cool... and this morning, I'm, again, writing about 3 gratitudes.
Halloween! It's so much fun to get dressed up and go out with some fabulous friends! Friday night Melissa, Karla and I went to Karla's ad agency party... "Shaken not Stirred" theme -- dressed up like a dirty martini, a blue hawaiian, and I was Prosecco. Fun! Also, great to have a DD (me) to get us home after all the free, strong drinks the girls had.
Saturday night Preston, Melissa and I hung out with Snow, Mark, and Scott & Kevin for some Halloween fun in Chinatown and some Bhangra dancing at Someday Lounge. Aren't Preston and Melissa the cutest little insects you ever did see?
Earlier in the day, Mike and I took Coyla to a college fair at the convention center. I'm so grateful for that little Monster and so proud of her for all the hard work she's putitng in at school and in her activities outside of class, too. Check out the school we found at the fair... :)
And finally, today I'm grateful for fabulous food cooked courtesy of Preston. What a great little brunch maker he is. Yummm!!!

Today I am grateful for Blazers tickets... and the amazing roommate who's like, "Hey Kate, want a couple tickets to next week's season home opener against the Lakers on Halloween?" Umm... yes please!!
I'm also grateful for good friends who tell me I'm too good for some of the losers I could potentially go on dates with... thanks for boosting my self confidence and helping me realize how fully fabulous I am.
I'm grateful for a trip to New York! Work is sending me for a couple of days in December. I'm excited to explore the city a little more, travel with co-workers and get to know them better, and just get outta town and go on an adventure!

I get to go to New York for work in December! Just for a couple of days... but in a sweet hotel near the financial district -- cool... a part of the city I haven't explored before. Looking forward to the quick trip!
I love my roommate Karlita. She totally made my day last night by curling up in bed with me for some South Park. What a sweet girl. Love her!
Shopping trip with Snow for lunch today... I knew the second I saw that girl we'd be friends. Sure enough... we are! I love fabulous co-workers who are easy to bond with!

I am grateful for cozy movie nights around the fireplace with really good friends.
I am grateful that part of my job includes interviewing authors about really positive work they're doing to help the corporate world be more mindful of its social and environmental impact.
I am grateful for future plans that are exciting but don't have to be 100% figured out right now, (I'm grateful for a lesson in patience).

I'm grateful for a job that is virtually stress-free. Still. Very grateful. It's also really cool that I get to network with speakers like Dr. John Izzo... loving him right now!
Happy to have so many good friends here in Portlandia... making more good friends all the time. I guess I'm just grateful that I am the kind of person who connects to people and can make friends! :)
Super grateful for lunchtime workouts... cross fit with a group of co-workers is the best! (Also, ouch, I'm sore)...

Presidential debates -- they may dividing the country, but they're bringing my household together. Roomie watch party tonight on Commercial Ave.! I love this season, (maybe because I don't watch TV and see any negative ad campaigns) -- I feel like election season makes me proud to be a voting, politically-minded U.S. citizen.
Work lunch break workouts! Yay for a group of fun, fit co-workers to take lunch breaks with and get our sweat on together!
Having family local -- I had a lot of fun yesterday spending some quality time with my sister, grandma and niece.
