Back on the Album collecting again but with a healthier frame of mind

-

Laugh at me if you will but I used to have an addiction to buying CD’s. aThis was in the 90’s, when records were rarely being produced. I would spend my downtime meticulously going through the Used section of Record stores from A-thru-Z and then repeat in the new catalogues, collecting so much music that I was not being careful financially. Who really was being careful financially while in their teens and twenties? 😆 A happy memory is when Mike K. and I would meet up at local shops and even Best Buy to scan the racks from A to Z while planning out our weekend and deciding what local shows we would hit up. Other friends would sometimes not let me step into a record store if we were passing by. They knew I would get sucked in. Not necessary a bad thing but a bad thing for my wallet. Fast forward 20years when record pressing is back as a norm and I want a way to support bands. Records are pricey so this is a slippery slope. As my niece and nephew joke when we are road tripping, “Every song is Aunt Aimee’s favorite” With a much stronger frame of mind and not throwing away my dollars on every album that I love or am curious about, I will be more conscious in my purchasing power while supporting the bands of great albums I truly love from start to finish. Thank you Bill for surprising me with my all-time favorite album. This was a great start to my Friday morning

Where did the summer go and what did I do. SOOOOO much. It was a great summer. I only ended up camping once but it was a good one. I went to PARIS! Which was gorgeous, romantic, rich in foods and simply breathtaking.  I wish I had time to post highlights of my summer but I can only suggest to check out all my photos since May on Flickr. It was a good summer in Seattle.

Its been a while since I posted here. May was an insanely busy but AMAZING. There was the Highline High School fundraiser dinner. I never recalled my high school having fundraisers and since I don't have kids, I told Carinna I would join her for her school's fundraiser auction/dinner. It was fun, I won a bottle of nice wine and 3 of us bid on the "Taste of Highline dinner" where several moms and staff would make meals passed down from their families. We were able to invite up to 10 friends. There was Italian, Somalian, Soul, Mexican, and Hawaiian. There may have been another but I forget. It was sooooo yummy and was hosted at a house that was on Lake Burien. They told us there may be a boat involved. The boat turned out to be a battery operated dock that quietly moved in the water. That was a riot. It was a beautiful evening with stories of the meals with some of my favorite seattle friends. The weather had finally taken a turn for the nicer so for my friend Sar
