One more game in the season and we are UNDEFEATED! Team Spare No One is in first place!!! Its been a good season though I didn't bowl as well as my 1st season. Here are some pics from Bowling nights. TEAM: Spare No One! My adorable teammates: Amanda and Scottie Carpooling & riding front in the Pixel's rental car. (Scottie and I usually ride with Amanda) We play pull tabs and take one when we get a spare or strike.  Kiss for good luck before opening. Scottie's GREAT Grandfather's bowling shirt!

WOLF PACK L-R: Megan, John, Joy, Kim and Sherah When I was in college, I would frequently hike with friends, mostly in the Delaware Water Gap area along the Appalachian trail. I have lived in the Northwest for almost 7 years and can only count on one hand the amount of hikes I have gone on. Luckily, I have a few friends that have been wanting to get out in the woods also so we started a hiking club called FAT Mouth Wolf Pack. (FAT stands for "foaming at the mouth" since we are all craving the outdoors) WOLF PACK L-R: Kim, Isaac, Joy, John, Sherah, Aimee and Scottie (Photo Credit: Megan Welling) 9 of us ventured out to North Bend, WA (where Twin Peaks was filmed) and hiked Little Si. This was the most amount of people I have ever hiked with. It was 2.2 each way. Most of us were totally on the same pace, taking 3 breaks where my friend Megan, the organizer wished it was harder. She might have to join an additional, more advanced hiking club since the less driv...

I won the first ever WD Mechanical Drawing Championship!!! I won this lovely award Lara created and a gift card to Starbucks. CHALLENGE: Take up pen and paper and draw the most ACCURATE representation of a screw/bolt/nut in 3 minutes JUDGE: Mr. Fairness, Coby Jackson WHEN: Friday from 4:30 to 4:35 WHERE: Kitchen Drafting Table PRIZE: there will be one and it will be glorious REGISTER WITH ME and I’ll make sure material are ready. I almost didn't make it due to a client needing a file ASAP. We all drew the same screw in under 3-minutes. This contest was created because the other colleague from PA was once the PENNSYLVANIA STATE CHAMPION mechanical drawer and he ended up not being able to compete due to client's hot project. PA as a coincidence....I think so!

I forgot to have this blog entry "go live." Its been sitting in my blog as a draft. Back in January after receiving a gift membership to the Seattle Art Museum from Cathy, I was able to see the Picasso exhibit before it closed at the end of January. Thank you Cathy!!! Picasso Behind a Window, 1952 (Gelatin silver print) by Robert Doisneau, French, 1912–1994 Sacré-Coeur, Winter 1909–10 (Oil on canvas) by Pablo Picasso He starts out drawing in a traditional patining and then adds the abstraction. Beautiful! Through his years, he had 2 wives and two mistresses. Was he a player or a helpless romantic? I say both!

If you noticed, I renamed my blog since most post have to do with updating my loved ones. I will continue to write to you, my family; the target audience of this personal blog. I'm making another blog that's not as personal. Pretty much anonymous. It will be targeted to all things I find creative, inspiring or just awesome!!!! The creative blog will be limited 2 or 3 sentences. This blog I will keep personal and update with my happenings. Here is my first post. Now a forewarning: As a grown adult, there are some things I find funny and/or creative that others may find indecent. Art is not about conforming to what society suits as acceptable or not. I appreciate that art is free expression. Artist do what they need to do to express a piece of work and to get the reaction they intended, sometimes taking it to levels others may not find acceptable. An example is Cee-Lo's song "F- you" Radio version is "forget you" but if you listen to the lyrics and...

this is A+ public art Originally uploaded by ::: a i m e e ::: Someone put all these 8.5x11 sheets of paper on the Cap Hill poster wall. It got me teary-eyed seeing it. (such a sap!) Who are they missing? So simple yet amazing because we all miss a lot of people so this is something everyone can relate to. Art & music that gives me goosebumps gets an A+ in my book.
