So ready for August!

JULY REALLY SUCKED!!!
Having to leave an apartment I love, finding a new place to live and losing my amazing grandparents within 16 days of each other made July a really emotional, rough month for me. Seattle started to FINALLY have its summer weather but all my time was spent packing and traveling to PA.

AND NOW I'M MOVING BUT I'M HOPEFUL!

Today was a productive day to a new me. I picked up my apartment, became an investor for Letterpress Distilling and moved a car-full of stuff into the new place.

I'll tell ya more about Letterpress Distilling later (or you can click the linked name) but when I got off work, I picked up a Zipcar Hybrid, loaded up with boxes and a hand-truck and started to move into my new apartment.

I don't like to depend on others so I wanted to move as much as I can on my own, leaving the big stuff for the main move on Sunday when friends help. Well I think I'm done moving stuff until Sunday unless someone can help me tomorrow. I loaded a hand-truck full of the heavier boxes and had a hard time pushing it up a ramp. What was I thinking? No elevators, just ramps, like at a movie theatre. The amount I loaded on was too much for little me. Luckily a new neighbor got home from a run and insisted on helping me. Luckily, my next 4 trips had less heavier stuff and I had no problem pushing it up the ramp to my apartment. BUT I was exhausted and a sweaty mess.

Once I dropped that off the Zipcar, I walked 10 blocks with the hand-truck to have dinner & visit Paco at the sushi restaurant. I felt like someone should have been recording video of me and my hand-truck strolling through the city on a busy Friday night. I was going to go out for a birthday but as I ate my yummy dinner, my shoulders and legs were throbbing so no night out with friends for me. I'm going to shower, sort some things and climb in bed with a book!
Tomorrow is a whole other story.

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.
