Low-key weekend

-
This weekend has been SUPER low-key. The weather made me want to just stay warm and be productive and productive it was.
Friday I worked late and ended up missing an art opening that I really wanted to go to. Once I left work, knowing I missed the art show event, I wasn't in the mood to start hunting people down to see what they were up to so I headed home and caught up on some reading.

Saturday and Sunday I got a lot of things accomplished such as finally finishing the mending of my friend Chris's two jackets. Chris is a fashion designer yet doesn't sew himself. WHAT!!!!! He designs/concepts and is great at picking patterns and colors but outsources the actual work. This is his company, Like a Rockstar. He asked me to mend two old jackets for his own wardrobe. The armpits were completely ripped, probably from too much dancing and debauchery. The jackets had lining so not only did I want to fix the arm rips, I want to fix the lining and rips in the old jackets.

The jackets...
8:36 fixing the lining to a friend's jacket. Need to get these back to him!

Chris bartends during brunch at a local bar so I dropped off the jackets and had a yummy brunch before tending to Typography homework.

Sometimes on Saturdays, if I know Paco is working the afternoon shift at the local bar, Rendezvous, I'll go in for burger and fries. My new goal is everytime I go in, we whip up a new St. Germaine drink. I love this liquor and want to expand my drink options. Its made with fresh elderberry and is delicious.

This was St. Germain with Champagne and a dash of club soda.

early dinner & drink

Not sure how pathetic this sounds but to me this is pretty exciting....this weekend I got bangs!
Bang bang what! I wanted a change.

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.
