A great start to city life

-

Friday night, Darby and I cleaned the old apartment from top to bottom, then had dinner at the good ol' Rowie. For the days I had been there packing and cleaning....it was hard & emotional. Lots of memories. I will miss him and it sucks we couldn't work things out. however I was the one who gave up and called it quites. After 4+ years, how long can you hope things will change without realizing life can be better than this situation?

Saturday, we had the walk through and are no longer residents of Ridgewood Apartments. I took a bunch of clothes to Red Light to sell. They were looking for halloween outfits this month so I didn't sell much of my clothes however I got $6 for an old school zip up jacket. Poor girl before me only got $5 for a pile of blouses. So compared to her, I lucked out.

Saturday, I attended an Autism Auction with George and Ona. The auction were horrible to their volunteers. Not enough food, empty pizza trays and lots of standing around. We bailed after a while because they had so many other volunteers already in place and weren't giving us direction. So we went to dinner at El Portal, the restaurant thats on the 1st floor of my place. Yummy!!!!

We hit the town and met up with some of their friends. It was so new to me to be out and about to various bars. Luckily, they were cool bars and not meatmarkets.

Sunday was WONDERFUL! I woke up, met Courtney from Pure E at Uptown for lattes and discussion about projects. Then I strolled over to the Market to get a $5 bouquet and proceeded to the Crocodile Cafe for the I Heart Rummage Sale. A lot of cool indie designers. It makes me want to create something! I went to a nearby Aveda salon and bought all my favorite products that I'm low on. My flowers spilled water on their credit card machine. Oops!

I went foodshopping in the market below my apartment and finished unpacking until the late hours.


It was a beautiful day.
I love my place. I love this change of atmosphere.

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...

Summer came and went

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.
