Mom and Dad visit Seattle and brought some sunshine

-
I haven't had time to blog since I moved. I'm waiting for additional closet storage so I can unpack some more things. Mom and Dad came out to visit a few weekends ago and we had a nice weekend. It was raining NONSTOP prior to their arrival so I was really happy it didn't rain at all while they were here.

We did a food tour, went dancing at my favorite monthly event, Emerald City Soul Club, we roamed along the Seattle waterfront, and took a drive out AND ferry to the Olympic Peninsula to the town of Port Townsend. Unfortunately I didn't take a lot of photos but have them posted on my flickr. Click on their photo to see more.

It was a nice low-key time.
Now they are home and I'm here and we are all back in the swing of things.

Besides moving, working long hours and having the parents visit. I got a chance to go to a local fair with some of my coworkers. Photos in my flickr. We left work for 5 hours to shuttle down to the country lands, ride some rides, eat some food, see a bunch of animals and ride some more. Country life in WA is A LOT different than us urban folks. Unfortunately my sinuses were bothering me that day and rides do not work well with sinus headaches. I had to stop after a while which I was bummed about.

This week things start to pick the pace ...

Tomorrow, 7 friends and I are going to see the band Arcade Fire in suite seats at the local arena. For $11 more we get to lounge in a suite with a cash bar than having my body ache for 2-days after being on my toes and lifting my head trying to see during an entire concert.

Thursday, my friend Chris Jones is part of a benefit Fashion Show. Friday, I'm taking part in a scooter gathering and then meeting friends for late night miniature golf thats more interactive, hands on and destructive than typical putt-putt. Its called Smashputt.

The good thing is that we didn't have to work long hours this week. That's great! Next up is more sewing projects and sending out baby gifts to future parents - Kurt & Stacie and Allegra.

I think my craft area now has room for a used dress form. I would love to be able to find one thats my size so I can pin and alter outfits.

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.
