Valentines weekend, 2010
I didn't make official plans this year.
In fact, I deliberately wished everyone a, "happy February 14th!" instead of the annoying 'Hallmark holiday greeting that sends boyfriends and husbands into anxious fits.
The notion that yesterday was like any other day definitely paid off and I actually think I had the best Valentines to date.

Instead of crowds of people, expensive appetizers and the hassle of it all, we laid low, cracked a few beers and played games.
The following pictures visually describe the food orgasm we experienced once the carne asada was off the grill! All praise goes to my boyfriend's genius roommate and his girlfriend for preparing our Valentines Day lunch.

The evening culminated with beers and 9 ball at the Goldfish.
It should be mentioned that while playing 9 ball with the crew, I sank the nine ball on the break ... thus winning the game instantly. Woot.

This weekend I also spent some time cloud watching in Bonney Lake, walking around Point Defiance and lifting weights. I'm super sore today and could use a nap!
Big thanks to my boyfriend for being really amazing, smart and patient with me... I'm a handful at times and I'm thankful for him. the Sumner Valley... where tulips and daffodils grow

Back to School Time: Tradition

Among the all American excitement of board games, bbq's and college football that I enjoyed this Labor Day weekend, I also participated in the long-standing and some what sentimental tradition of pulling out ones Fall and Winter clothes in preparation of the changing seasons.
Fall in the Pacific Northwest means knee-high socks, layering and oooh, scarves. And yes, lots of rain (don't move here).

I'm too excited for the smell of Fall and the changing of the trees... Now get your butts back to school and take responsibility for yourself says the President.

I did not put away my swim suits and short shorts this weekend... that idea depressed me too much.

What could possibly be better than a beer festival? Not much, if you ask me, although this weekend’s Hop Scotch Festival does up the ante by adding Scotch. This spring beer and Scotch festival, held indoors at the Fremont Studios (155 N 35th) Friday and Saturday, May 8th and 9th, presents patrons with the opportunity to sample more than 50 seasonal beers, a variety of Scotches, and wine and tequila, too. Tickets purchased in advance through their website are $20, at the door they’re $25. Both include a souvenir cup and six tasting tokens; available upgrades include $5 for a flight of Mexican beers and $30 for a Scotch seminar with the Master of Whiskey which includes eight tastes of Scotch along with an excellent education.

The festival runs Friday from 5pm to midnight, Saturday from 1pm to midnight and helps raise funds for SIFF.
