Thought you all might like to see the project I’ve been working so hard on the last couple months. It’s basically the best culinary tourism site EVER.

I also thought that some of you might like to enter to win a week as a Winemaker, Brewmaster, Chef, Rancher, Fisherman, Distiller, or Chocolate/Cheesemaker. I’m pretty sure you all have cameras that take video, so GO! Apply!

Oh, and bonus? If you win you get to come to Oregon, which means you get to see me!

• Hello. When we last spoke, it was in a bulleted post much like this one. I promise to write an un-bulleted post soon. But, today is not the day.
• Remember my awesome and darling Kate Spade dress? Well, I ordered it and it’s poop. Please see for yourself. Back to the store it goes today.
• Nic send me a bunch of new dresses to look at, and I’m QUITE CONFIDENT that I’ll find a replacement in the links she sent.
• On the same day that my Kate Spade dress arrived, my Victoria’s Secret order also arrived, and do you know what? Every single item fit. I’m pretty sure this has never, ever happened in the history of Victoria’s Secret’s Ill Fitting Clothing and Swimwear.
• So, what in the hell is the deal with Kourtney Kardashian? I get that she got herself knocked up by her douchey ex-boyfriend. But, everyday, I look at my People.com iGoogle Gadget and there she is. I now know more about her than I do about any of my own friend’s pregnancies.
• Remember how we went to Bend last weekend? Well, the house was darling (I took no pictures), the food was great (I took pictures of almost everything I ate) and rafting was so fun. Photos of our trip here.
• Paddling the raft made my arms hurt the next day in seriously, the best way possible. It sounds weird, but it’s the kind of upper body workout I crave. So, tomorrow, we’re going to try and recreate my awesome upper body workout with kayaking the Columbia.
• And, now you’re probably wondering just what in the hell has gotten into me with all this outdoorsy stuff. I DO NOT KNOW.
• Today, hopefully, we’ll wrap up a HUGE PROJECT at work. I’m very excited to show you all what we’ve been working on.
• And, speaking of work, I just counted and there are only 18 work days until I go on vacation. HIP, HIP, HURRAY!
• And, with that. I’m off to work to work on said huge project.
• Enjoy your weekend friends!

• In a few hours, we’re packing the car and heading to Central Oregon for a lovely, quiet weekend.
• A lovely, quiet weekend in which we’ll be riding a raft down Class III rapids on the Deschutes River. We really know how to relax.
• I rented a really, really darling house which I can tell no one else about because I’m concerned that I’ll try to rent it again and it will not be available. So, a note to those who have already seen the house: please make sure I’m not planning a trip to Bend before you book. Thanks, you’re all great.
• Anyway, the weekend will be nice and relaxing with no internets and no work and no running into people we know.
• Also, yummy food and beer.
• On Wednesday night, I hung out with a big, fantastic group of bloggers including Danny, Angella, Kerri, Brandon, Vahid, Blythe, Amanda, Asha (and I’m forgetting a lot of people, please forgive me…)
• Of course, we were all gathered because Danny wrote this book, Rage Against the Mishugeluh
• Is this not the cutest photo ever?
• I had so much fun that I was out until 10:30, and if you know me very well, you know that this is a good hour and a half past my bedtime.
• I was just wearing the cutest blouse ever (new, for $11 from the J.Crew outlet) and melty butter dripped off my English muffin and onto it. I need an adult bib. Also, for punishment, I’m making myself wear a white tank top (with a wee ruffle) for the rest of the day.
• And, with that, I’m off! Just a couple hours of work for the day and then hopefully an adult beverage once we arrive in Bend!
• So, what are YOU doing this weekend?
