Several weekends in February and March were spent at the Norpoint Shooting Range on LivingSocial Adventure’s “Shootin’ & Drinkin’” event in which we took groups of 40+ people up to the gun range to shoot rifles and handguns, and then over to tour the Scuttlebutt Brewery and then over to Scuttlebutt’s restaurant in Everett. It… [Read more…]

Last week was such a great social week. I had initially started Monday in a terrible mood, but then I checked my calendar and realized that there was NOTHING but fun stuff happening each day and I decided to be thankful that I’m connected enough to be able to participate in such a great array… [Read more…]

One of my unofficial New Years resolutions was to stop going to restaurants and bars that I don’t like and start going to all of the new places that have opened in the last year or two. I had to make a list because usually when push comes to shove I can’t *think* of all… [Read more…]

In honor of William and Kate’s nuptials, I threw a Royal Wedding viewing party that started at 1am on Friday and lasted until 6am. It was exhausting. First of all, I’ve been terrible at my calendar and didn’t realize until it was too late that I’d signed up to volunteer at the Women’s Funding Alliance… [Read more…]

Hoping that a morning that starts with green tea and an amazing fruit salad (mango, strawberry, apple, orange) translates to goodness throughout the day.

Scenes from the weekend… To put it in a nutshell: massive Target shopping spree (best cutting board ever), almond/coconut macaroons, La Bete, The Living Room, re:public, Blush. Spring cleaning! Asparagus and red onion salad, roasted orange cauliflower, rotisserie chicken, blue cheese mashed potatoes. Moon-gazing picnic above the I-90 bridge. Hot tub, Waka Flocka Flame, Forgetting… [Read more…]

Um, where did February go? How did it get to be (practically) mid-March? How did I manage to successfully coordinate two major events in two weeks? Where are my friends? What have I missed? What in the world have I been DOING? I went to see Tracy Kidder speak at Benaroya Hall thanks to Seattle… [Read more…]

I stopped into Eltana Wood-Fired Bagels this morning to find out the difference between a wood-fired bagel and any other kind. I walked in and was immediately pleased by the display, though I was concerned that the size of the bagel was rather small. I was ravenous and briefly considered ordering two, but that seemed… [Read more…]

On Friday, I drove up Hwy 99 to the Comcast service center and got a phone line, a new cable box w/ HD & double the DVR space, a working remote (meaning that Chip doesn’t have to come over and change the volume for me anymore), a new modem and faster internet, plus the Starz… [Read more…]

In a departure from my Thanksgiving tradition, I’ve decided to host a small gathering at our apartment and to do all the cooking. With Heather’s help, of course. She’s in charge of brining the turkey. Our Thanksgiving menu is as follows. We’ll see how much we can actually accomplish in our tiny kitchen, but it… [Read more…]

My niece has soooo many babies. My favorite is Fart Baby (named because she has the ability to spit out her pacifier but it makes a rude noise.) She speaks Spanish.

Friends, meet The Guys (a gift from Anser to Mia). From left to right: Pop Goes the Weasel, Oswald, Edward, Scared, and Leo. Everything has a name! I gotta go take pictures of Fart Baby to share with you later.

This was yesterday. A spur-of-the-moment decision to join Emily at Golden Gardens, mostly because I feel like I haven’t made the most of my summer and this was like, my second time at the beach. This summer was supposed to be super-awesome-amazing blahbittyblah, but it’s been kind of a disappointment. It’s really the weather’s fault.… [Read more…]

It appears that this may be a trend: every time I hang out with Miya, I lose my credit card somewhere between the cab and my front door. I’m positive that it’s somewhere in my mess of a room and that I was being “smart” and hid it from myself. Flashback to college, when my… [Read more…]
