Postcards To Home ♥

This was a hot but nice weekend! I hung out with friends, roamed the racks at a local record store, had yummy dinners and brunch, saw the end of the Gay Pride Parade in my neighborhood, played Flag Football for Wongdoody and attended a Bean "Date Auction" meeting. Today Sunday was an extremely hot day! A VERY cute cafe several blocks from me called Boat Street Cafe had the most yummy menu options. My friend Hema and Howard joined me there for brunch today. A little pricey but worth every bite & I loved the atmosphere! I went with the Fig and Goat Cheese salad. HEAVEN! After brunch while walking back to our apartments, we saw the tail end of the Annual Gay Pride Parade that takes place on 4th avenue, a block from my apartment. I don't care for parades but this one is entertaining. People are dancing, some in drag, some trans-gender, some walking in stilettos and some barely in anything at all. Its fun to watch from the sidelines and its also good to support their choic...

I worked a super long day today. 13+ hours. We were making changes and waiting for final approval from the client so it was a late evening. I left the office at 9:45pm. I'm beat but when I got home I received great news... starting August 1st my apartment building will be smoke-free, prohibiting people from smoking in their apartments. This makes me VERY HAPPY as I can smell cigarettes through the vents sometimes. I'm tired....but so happy! I didn't take any photos of tonight's sunset but decided to post another from last week's late night in the office. We do have an amazing view!!!!

Another nice weekend. The work week was crazy so by the time Friday evening rolled around, I was ready to relax and have a good time. Last Friday I met up with Audra, Karin, Hema and a group of people and went out in my neighborhood to celebrate the beginning of Summer. We had fun but it was hard to roll out of bed the next morning for a hair appointment. I ran some errands, bought a cute dress on sale and then laid low the rest of the day. I spent Saturday afternoon at the coffee shop doing some vacation research and then went and a movie with my friend Karin. Sunday I played my 1st game of flag football with the Wongdoody team over at Seattle Center and then went to a BBQ. It was a nice start to the summer though or team lost horribly! The picture above is Hema, Audra, Karin and I at the BBQ Sunday night. I met the girls, along with a few others we hang out with over the last couple years through Bean (the volunteer group). They are a sweet, fun group of gals. Us gals made a pact th...

Sorry for the slowness in post. I'm trying to play catch up. Well it looks like spring is finally here or maybe we jumped straight into summer, missing the spring season? Anyway 2 WEEKENDS AGO (I have been too busy to post this blog)...my weekend was busy but fun. Friday I had a low-key night at home. Saturday went for a motorcycle ride with my friend Wayne to run a few errands and get my friend Jessica a birthday gift. We cruised south of Seattle and then over to West Seattle along Alki Beach. You could smell the ocean and the views were outstanding. Fellow Wongdoody-ites Janelle and Amy..and Tony's friend Melody. My co-worker Amy came as the Po'girl. "Don't tough her hooch!" in the pocket. Janelle is upper class, Amy is lower. Tony and his friend Melody That night I went to my friend Jessica's 30's Birthday party. It had a 1930's Prohibition theme where for the beginning of the party they played movies with synchronized swimming (oh it reminded ...

Ever since we moved to the new WONGDOODY office over a year ago, every couple of months someone has gotten attacked by a crow. It is probably happening when the crow has mothered new-borns. Last night I was NO WHERE near a nest nor a bird but I could hear crowing. Within a few seconds I felt the crow's feet hit my head which almost knocked me over! She did not bite but it was FREAKY to feel her feet on my head!!! She completely whacked me! I went to the end of the block and watch the bird do the same thing to a guy. I am now part of the percentage of Wongdoody-ites who have been attacked.

ready to be triplets! Originally uploaded by ::: a i m e e ::: Sooooo much fun!!! While I was in Levittown, my friend Audra wasn't sure if I'd be back for the Tillman Twins birthday party so she asked her best friend Ben to be her twin. He agreed but refused to dress up. When I got back to town Audra asked me if I want to join them and if so, to dress like Ben. I actually had a bald cap and glasses for past halloweens so it was perfect. Especially since most girls would be dressing all cute and sexy. We were a hit! We were the funniest set of "siblings." Best compliment after I was hanging out without the bald cap: "Wow you are so much hotter with hair." ha ha Click here for photo set Click here for slideshow

Sorry for the delay in post. I’m finally getting back into my routine. I got in super late Tuesday night and then had things all week long after work, including a super fun “Twin Birthday party” Friday night, several Seattle Film Festival movies to attend and other stuff going on. (I'll explain the "Twin Party" in my next blog since I have photos from that!) I can’t get my family situation out of my head. Thre is a lot going on and I really wish I could be there for my mom and help her with my grandparents. It breaks my heart to know I can’t be there to help the family during this difficult time so it was nice to have had so much going this past week to keep my spirits up. I absolutely love the Northwest and need to stay here for the time being and until I know if somewhere else feels right. Nowhere else feels right at the moment, not even Philly..at least not right now. I just wish I could be there to keep my mom's spirits up. Laughter is the best medicine. Anyway, h...

Sorry for the delay in post. I’m finally getting bak into my routine since I got back from Levittown. I got in super late Tuesday night and then had things all week long after work, including a super fun “Twin Birthday party” Friday night. It was for 2 twin guys and they asked everyone to come as a twin with someone. So.... My friend Audra & I dressed exactly like our friend Ben who didn’t want to dress up. We wore bald caps, glasses and similar outfits and tried to do his posed and mannerisms all night. It was a hit! Especially since most gilrs simply dressed alike to look sexy. My friend Karin who lives a block away left her keys at the party so we had a slumber party at my house. She made fun of the fact that I have to shut my blids to the space needle because its too bright. She agreed its too bright. H aha Then Saturday niight my friend Audra and I saw back to back SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival) and then went to Karin’s birthday outing. Sunday morning I struggled ...
