            the writer wrote:I read and replied “This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read… I’M IN!”
Seriously, how drunk were you guys the first time someone uttered the word "sharknado"?Alas, I wasn’t in the room for this historic moment, but they must have been pretty drunk!
Ok, as craptastic as this seems I am now curious.

            Yay Portland! Work or pleasure?
No work! Just vacation!
My mother and brother both live in Portland. My mother moved there to get away from her husband around the same time I moved to California in 2011. I actually have not seen her in 2 years.
Also, they will be meeting John for the first time. The anniversary of our first date happens to be July 15, so we have one night booked in a B&B to celebrate.
Also, Portland is cool. I need to dedicate at least 1 day to Powell's City of Books.
