Saturday at Pikes Market Place

You couldn't ask for a better day than we had on Saturday at Pikes Market Place. We walked around downtown all day - the weather was nice - the weirdos were out and we had a good time! I just got home from dropping off the girls at the airport. Anyone who knows me, knows that I need my alone time. But I had a great time these past 5 days and I'm so glad Melissa and Whitney came to visit. They really showed me Washington in a new light. It's so good to have good friends that you can laugh with. I'm going to miss their company.

Play Day

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner

Company has arrived. Whitney, my sister and Melissa my best friend of, hmm.....20 years got to the Seattle/Tacoma airport yesterday afternoon. After getting luggage and ourselves back to the car we headed into Seattle and pointed the car toward the Space Needle. Since they disobeyed me and did not wear their dinner clothes I made them change in the backseat of the car as we were driving downtown. Not to worry I have dark tint on the windows. We finished up in some random parking lot fluffing our hair and bartering jewelry back and forth for the evening.
It's a 40 second elevator ride to the restaurant and you get a fun view of the city on the way up. When you step into the lobby of Sky City everything is deceivingly normal but when they take you to your seat you step into the dining area and you instantly feel like you've had one too many drinks because everything is moving. Thankfully you get used to it and you are treated to a 360 degree view of the city, Mt. Rainier, Elliot Bay, the Olympic Mountains, etc. Our meal was great and expensive but worth it. We were treated to a free smoking sundae at the end of our meal and how can you turn down a free smoking sundae even if you're stuffed with lobster, potatoes and bread?



It's Thursday morning and I have finally gotten everyone up and about. We are ready to start a new day of exploring. More soon!

FINE!!

Alright - I'll make a new post. I'm tired of hearing all you guys bitch. I guess I have been waiting for something cool to happen or for good picture oppurtunities to arise before I wrote something new. Life is good here. I've had a great time this week. Work for some reason has been really slow until today and we had 4 cases. I worked with a good team today and we really had a lot of fun which can be rare - you know, for heart surgery. The weather has been phenomenal. It's been all sun and no rain and around 60 degrees everyday. I hope I'm not jinxing myself but I really hope this keeps up. Everything is starting to bloom. I'm not sure what the weekend has in store for me. I want to do something but also want to keep it on the frugal side. Maybe a good long drive is in order - that always makes for something interesting. I'll keep you all posted. I have been watching the first season of Deadwood which is an HBO series. The cast includes Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickock and shows the town of Deadwood at the beginning of the Gold Rush. It was a very wild and lawless time. I've also been going to a lot of yoga classes trying to get back into shape. And I've been walking on this strip down in Commencement Bay. It's along the water and there are lots of restaurants there and also picnic places, coffee shops, etc. It's a great place to people watch. I'm glad it's Friday. There that's all that is on my mind! See, I knew it would potentially be boring and I was trying to spare you guys that. I'll try to liven up and get something started to blog about soon. I will be having some company before too long. Got lots of plans for Melissa and Whitney. We'll be dining at the Space Needle to start their time off here and I'm totally looking forward to that. Have a great weekend ya'll!
