Week of 10/15-10/22
Last week was pretty eventful and chipper. Haven’t done this in a while, so here’s a daily log: Monday night after work Ryan made dinner and we ate together before I left to Capoeira. I usually get off work too late to do anything before practice, so it was a nice exception. Tuesday night I…

Chocolati? Check
Jules and Taylor standing inside Chocolati in Wallingford Last night, driven by impulse and the prospect of a decadent dessert, Jules, Taylor, and I went out to Chocolati in Wallingford. None of us had been before, but we had heard a lot about it, so this was our chance to check it out. Known for…

Nauseating Ride Home
Sitting across from me on the bus was an overweight woman, wearing black velvet pants and a hooded sweatshirt. She sat beside a round-faced, blond-haired teenage girl, who was murmuring about her recent pregnancy. I had stayed later than usual at the office and found myself on this non-express route. The bus was packed and…

Volunteer Day @ Habitat for Humanity
Today I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity for the first time, through an event sponsored by my company. It made for a very early Saturday morning, but it was actually pretty cool. I went with Lesley and we got staffed on a project to build stairs up to two of the Habitat houses. Other projects…

Wednesday Night at Chopstix
Last Wednesday was David’s birthday, so we went out and played several mean games of five-on-five Whirlyball and then gathered at Chopstix, the dueling piano bar in Queen Anne. It was my first time there and it made for a fun weeknight. (That, and they had some pretty wicked cheesy waffle fries.) Anyway, Teresa and…

Frankie Starr
Tuesday night I saw my brother rap two sets at Studio 7 with his two groups, N.I.C.E. and his band. The video above is the beginning of my favorite song of the night. All the guys did a great job performing and it was a bit surreal to see Frankie on stage for the first…

Back from Vegas (again)
This last week my parents, brother, and I were in Vegas for a couple days on a little family vacation. I love Vegas and all, but it was weird being back only having been there just a little more than a month ago–making it my third trip in only 12 months! But it was good…

A Long Short Week
So last week at work was the Site Optimization Mid-Year Workshop Week. Even though I didn’t go into work until Wednesday (was in MN prior), it seemed like a long week. Not in the overly busy kind of way, but it was just very event-filled. Tuesday night was a Mariners game with Atlas’ SO team.…

Back from Minnesota
Last Thursday Ryan and I left to Minnesota to visit his family and attend his cousin’s wedding. It was a really great trip and it’s weird to be back already since it seemed to fly by. Most of the time was spent hanging out with family, eating really good food, and doing things outside. The…

One Hot Summer Weekend
So it was one hot weekend to be sure. 90’s in Seattle? No thanks. On Friday I took a ferry home to my parents house and spent the evening with family. I made cupcakes my cousins. Or rather, ate cupcakes my cousins made. My Dad even busted out the sparkling cider for the ocassion, hah.…
