On Friday evening, after a crazy beautiful day that I spent outside playing tourist in my own city, I returned home after getting my hair did and competed in the first annual “Building Bake Off” with my neighbors and some friends. I had initially planned to enter in two different baked goods, but in the… [Read more…]

1. TOMS is about to come out with ballet flats. Holding my breath until 2/15/12! I will order all of them. 2. The 5th Avenue Theatre is offering free tickets to Oklahoma on Superbowl Sunday! I will definitely go stand in line and get four of them. Would you like to come with me? This… [Read more…]

A few shots from today’s sushi-making adventure… I am basically terrible at this and will leave it to the experts in the future.

We took a trip out to the Camp Korey pumpkin patch a few weeks ago- here are a few pix. It’s an alright farm and all of the proceeds to go a really good cause (can’t remember what that cause is… kids w/ diabetes? I don’t know) but frankly, the patch itself was pretty picked… [Read more…]

Missed the bus because I simply HAD to have this notebook. You can’t tell in this picture, but each line is a colored pencil, labeled with different colors: buttercream frosting, swimming pool, candy kisses, orange popscicle, greenest grass, blue skies forever, strawberry ice cream, sunshine, maraschino cherry, afternoon nap, margarita lime… all things I love!… [Read more…]

I’m trying not to be 27 anymore. 27 is old and I’ve grown tired of watching my friends settle into “the rest of their lives”, so I’m rebelling. Life was so much more fun when I was “young” and had at least four different invitations per weekend night. I remember the times when I’d actually… [Read more…]

Some of my fave shots from fun moments in 2010. Unfortunately I was camera-less for the better part of the year and I no longer employ the OSRP, so there’s a lot of pix taken with my Droid.
December 29, 2010
I was so excited to get all retrospective-y with a year-end blog post. I felt like reflecting on what a transformative year it’s been. I mean: I left my job in December of 2009 and have been formally fun/un/self-employed ever since I’m considering grad school I finally came up with a name for my business I did… [Read more…]

Washington State has (rightfully, as far as I’m concerned) banned the popular alcoholic/energy drink, “Four Loko”. I had never even heard of Four Loko until they’d banned it, but my understanding is that something like nine people in Central WA were sent to the hospital after drinking too much and that people refer to it… [Read more…]

The three most exciting things to happen to me this week are actually (in the grand scheme of things) not very exciting, but as my blog is practically my diary, I must share them. I randomly answered a call for event volunteers from Seattle Arts & Lectures. I don’t usually respond to the opportunities but… [Read more…]

I’m taking the advice of my horoscope and going on a mini-vacation to San Francisco on Friday. I had started planning the trip in early October, but it got pushed to the backburner until about yesterday, when I realized that I had planned to leave on Friday and still hadn’t purchased my flight. I started… [Read more…]

In honor of October 25th, 2010 (for which I will be in California), I organized my (dwindling) group of friends to go SmashPutt on Saturday evening. On this same weekend in years past we’ve gone Whirlyball-ing and pumpkin-patching and it’s become one of my favorite unofficial holidays, though it’s a real pain in the ___… [Read more…]

On Sunday, roommate Heather and I took advantage of a Living Social deal for admission to a pumpkin patch – which included the corn maze, smores at a fire pit, lunch (pumpkin pancakes and bacon or YUMMY tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich), a petting “zoo” area with mini-horses and alpacas, and a hay… [Read more…]

So the coolest thing I’ve got going on right now is the Service Girls – a group of 12 women who get together once a month for a community service volunteer project. Here’s how it works: each woman is assigned a month of the year and is responsible for designing a service “call” with a… [Read more…]

I need to go to grad school so that I can make a zillion friends who will come to all of my events and support organizations I care about. This was the lesson I learned by attending Shunpike’s annual fundraiser, entitled “Golden“. Obviously, with that kind of theme, I had to be there. (Plus, you… [Read more…]

My instincts have suggested that we’re in for a long, cold, miserable and wet winter, and I’m taking that to heart- even in early September. I’ve already packed away my summer clothes (many that I never even wore) and have pulled out the sweaters and scarves. I’ve even been caught wearing closed-toed shoes and socks,… [Read more…]

August 10, 2010, in crappy cell phone pictures: Cirque du Soliel on the IMAX! High-rise bicycling! Naked mole rats and dinosaurs and a game of Chinese Checkers (or a version thereof): Butterflies on citrus! Elastic acrobatics! Happy hour at Ruth’s Chris! El Diablos at Tango! Oops. Not pictured. Whoops. More Facebook birthday wishes than I… [Read more…]

My camera (yes, the one I stole from my dad) broke, right in time for my party. The button that you press to actually take the picture popped off somewhere along the way and so my photo documentation was severely impaired. However! I did get 22 pictures out of it- 13 safe for Facebook and… [Read more…]

This, dear friends, is the best worst thing I have ever consumed in my life. It’s called a “trash can” and can be found at the Moon Temple in Wallingford… but only if you know who to ask (apparently they’ll serve it to Dylan but not to me). Yes, that’s a can of Red Bull… [Read more…]
