DOL

I went to attempt to get a WA license today. I lost my MI one in Feb and have been putting it off. I had a copy of it and it is current, so when I called they said I could come and get a new one. What they failed to mention on the phone was - I could get a new one if I scheduled a test.

But not all was lost... Judson saw me check in and he was on his way there anyway. I pulled a number for him while I was waiting. He only had to wait about 5 minutes and he had his new license and then I got to hang out with him for a bit, too!

Golden Gardens!

Tommy and I took an epic walk from his house to Golden Gardens, which is about 6.5 miles round trip. It was a bit chilly by the water, but so needed after the crazy weekend we had.

Pike Place Lunch

I had a Thursday lunch date that had to reschedule and then Ed called me and asked if I wanted to meet him at Pike Place for a quick minute. I did just that. We picked up sandwiches and soup, we sat in the park and enjoyed this beautiful day.

Michigan Friends!

My friend Stephanie was in town for the Twilight conference (yes, I didn't know there was such a thing either) and called me to meet up and say hello. Steph and I are old friends, we met over ten years ago while working for the same retail store at Twelve Oaks Mall. She and I also attended the first Bonnaroo together, which ultimately made a huge impact on the rest of my life.

This is a pic of us at Bedlam, in Belltown. I love when old friends visit and loved seeing Stephanie today!

Happy Birthday, Mr. F!

It's Mr. F's official birthday, and we're out celebrating! Marissa & Chris showed up in their PJs, even! This was taken at the Upstairs, and obviously, we are having a good time ;)

Birthday Boy

I took a lot of pictures last night but this one was my favorite by far. You have birthday boy, Feleke (aka, Mr. F), and Will (aka, Toe.) We were celebrating Feleke's birthday at Kushi last night, and celebrating hard, as you can tell from this pic.

Geekiest Shower Curtain Ever.

This was taken late night, but technically today since it was after midnight ;)

I had to walk Will home, as he had a bit too much to drink and I was not letting him walk home alone. After I peeled him off his couch, threw him in his bed, took his shoes off it was time for me to relieve my bladder, as I also had a lot of tasty beverages.

Well, as I was peeing, I saw this little curtain of irony. As I snapped a picture of Will's shower curtain, I chuckled. It makes total sense that Will has this shower curtain, as he is a very geeky (but super fun) MSFT geek.

Though, I must say I take solace in knowing that if Will ever has an issue sharing his feelings, he can always consult with his trusty shower curtain.

Match Game!!

I went to Match Game at the Rendezvous with Feleke and Will, after Feleke made us a wonderful dinner!

If you have not been to Match Game yet, you need to check it out, as it is a super fun time!

Old friends in new places

My friend Katie randomly called me today because she was in Seattle for work. We met at Michigan State University, in a tomato patch in the backyard of a house, next door to the house in which we were partying. We were drunky, hungry and decided to steal some tomatoes to eat. I remember that night, Katie said to me that we'd be forever friends. I also remember the tomatoes were yummy.

Anyway, skip ahead 9 years, and here she is in Seattle for work with her friend Lauren.

Family Style

It was very hard to pick a picture of the day today, mostly because I had an amazing picture of Mr. F after a few too many glasses of Scotch. But, April's amazing dinner party was a very good second choice. No, seriously, amazing dinner.
