Out with the old and in with the new

2009 kind of sucked. Long hours at work, lay-offs at working of people who are really missed around the office, lame love-life with either non-existent, nothing of substance or consistency, divorces and separations of loved ones, the economy sucking BIG TIME and slacking on my yoga practice the entire year.

On a happy note, I found a new love in the scooter life. I love my symba and was happy to take it for a ride on January 2nd. Many great nights of dancing at monthly soul nights and lots of great parties throughout the year. Plus, Seattle has an amazing crafting, small business scene that inspires me to find my niche.

New Years Eve was fun though I am not a fan of the pressured holiday. Since I just got back to town and wasn't sure what to wear to the day of the New Years Eve party, I offered to take a role that they needed to filll. I had to dress as a bird and for the 1st hour guide people to the elevator for the 4th floor party. No bid deal. I was like a tin showgirl.

Here are some photos of me dressed as a bird from the Labyinth New Years Eve...

Its the New Years day that matters most to me and though New Years was a good time, New years day was the BEST New Years day EVER.

New Years Day I met my friend Matt and Scottie for our weekly "1pm Sunday Brunch" at Del Rey even though it was Friday. Matt said he was gonna spread the word and he succeeded. We had 45 people come & go within a few hours span, friends and now some new friends. WE STAYED THERE PARTYING UNTIL 8:45pm. Leg Wrestling, Balloon tossing, "My Balloon" challenging and so forth took place. I had brunch and dinner there. A few of us then ventured to the shittiest bar in my hood called Kelly's for a beer, then Lava Lounge for shuffleboard, finishing the night with drinks at Bathtub Gin. I'm glad I made no plans that day as we all just rolled with it and had a blast. One guy said the next day that he had a "funover" from laughing so much the day prior. Here are some pictures.

What happened in May, you ask? Or didn't ask.

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.
