The Good, Bad, and the Downright Ugly

The Good: winning the equivalent of my electric bill in poker against some seasoned vets. Plus all the free meat, cheese, and beer I could consume. Clearly I was the only female present.

Honorable Mention: 1. Meeting some high school buddies at Kate's for half priced happy hour, then onto Hula Hula for some bad karaoke. 2. Phone call with my college roommate KG

The Bad: I am so behind on paper grading that on my bi monthly trip home to do laundry, I had to enlist my mom to help out. If my kids ask why the handwriting looks different, no way am I admitting my mommy did it between making me dinner and baking me cookies.

The Ugly: The amount of dishes sitting in my sink right now. A serious lack of desire to do dish duty is one of the serious pitfalls of not having a roommate.

Hello World

Hey all, it has been a while. But thanks to my brand new iPhone, I am now in the 21st century. I can potentially keep up with the world. 10 to 12 hour work days really put a damper on things like blogs. But looking out the window to this view every day really helps.

Weekend Update

This past week, I did not have the urge to write a single post. I look at blogging as something fun, a creative outlet, when there is time. This past week, there was no time, nor a single ounce of creativity.

Open House was this past Monday, and I was at school from 7:30 am to 9.30 pm. 14 hours is just too long. I also had to prove to parents, that despite being basically their children's age, I am a capable and qualified teacher. I tried to be enthusiastic, because it is one serious pro of being so young, no burnout. I also showed them this picture.




It proved I am a seriously tough cookie, it also got them laughing, happy parents don't ask scary questions.

Needless to say, the whole rest of the week, I felt like I was seriously behind on sleep and life, with no time to catch a breath. Literally, I could barely breath because of a cold going around.

Hence, no blog last week. Going forward, I cannot guarantee regular blog posts, but that does not mean I will just vanish from the blogosphere. It just isn't fun when I am stress about blogging as a daily duty.

Anyways, on to better and brighter things. This weekend was wonderful. I can breath again, and I was very productive as well as relaxed.

Friday I was able to catch up with a good friend from high school, although it was cut a bit short when we snuck out the back of the local dive bar because two sketch looking guys tried to buy us mead shots, and get us to play pool with them. Mead? Really?! Are we in the Middle Ages still...

On Saturday my rents came down and my dad hung up some curtains and pictures for me, while my mom helped me paint my bathroom. Amazing what paint can do to a room! We also went to the up and coming South Lake Union neighborhood, and hit up Tom Douglas's new restaurant.

BEFORE



AFTER - The lighting is funky here, normally the walls look grey, not beige.

The Brave Horse

Finally, today I made it to the Capital Hill farmers market. The produce there was gorgeous! So fresh, and all organic, with relatively good pricing.




Sexy Fruit Right!? And yes, those are the blackberries in my belly right now, not some random picture off the internet


Also. The Seahawks won! ya boiii. It was a close game to the end. I was tracking it online, since I don't have cable, but the end was so good, I ran (literally) to the pizza place a block away to catch the ending live.


Goal line stop for the win

Since moving to Seattle, I have been church hoping, but I finally found a church I absolutely love. The worship isn't too rock band, but they play modern songs. The congregation is around my age. They have a post college, early career group, and the pastor preached the solid Christocentic message rooted in the Word. Yes Please.
