Quickie

I'm at work so this will have to be quick but it's been so long I want to post something. I've been busy, working extra as usual. A couple weeks ago I went down to Portland for the weekend. Our hotel was right downtown so we were able to walk everywhere. Did a little shopping (no sales tax) but I was unable to find anything other than a couple pairs of shoes, went out to a nice dinner and then to a couple bars. The weather was GOURGEOUS!!! Last weekend I met up with a coworker and her husband in an area of west Seattle known as Alki beach. It reminded me of the strips in So-Cal (other than it was about 30 degrees cooler, lol). We went to a fantastic pizza place, best pizza I've had in a long time. Afterwards I ventured up to Seattle to an Irish bar that I like. No big plans for this weekend, my friend Cori is having a party that I should attend. Next weekend I have a 4 day weekend and am planning on going down to Bend, OR and Mt. Bachelor for a little skiing. We will see how that goes considering I havent skiied in at least 10 years!

My week days are filled with work as usual. I've been trying to be better about going to the gym but so far it's not working all that well. Next week I get to start working7-6 tuesday and thursday so hopefully that will help my gym efforts. It's going to be hard to get up so early that's for sure! But it will be nice getting home before 7:30 like I do now. We have playoffs for darts coming up. This is bad but I'm hoping that we don't make it to state because it's the day that I have tickets for the Mariner's game. Well my patient is here so I am off.

The haps

I suck at blogging lately, been super busy and hardly feel like I live at home since all I seem to do is sleep here lately. Wednesday I went to the Mariner's game with Dana and Josh. It was a good time, and we won so even better. It was rather chilly but I had about 5 layers on so I survived. Thursday was dart night and then I met up with some friends afterwards. Friday I had a class all day and then went to dinner with my friend Alicia. Saturday I went up to Seattle with my friend Craig. We had dinner and then went to this Irish bar that we both like. They had a band playing which was actually really good. Sunday I went up to an outlet mall and then met some friends at the bar for a couple drinks and food and such.

The weather has been horrible here, way cold and rainy. It makes me soooo unmotivated and all I want to do is lie on my couch. :( Yesterday I tried to go for a walk but the wind wass so bad that I vetoed that and the gym. So not good!

Well here are a couple pics from my bday as promised.

Jeans

Per request of Mel I bought a new pair of Hudsons. They are super cute. Here's a couple pics but I think the ones I got are a little darker wash. Unfortuantely they don't look quite like that on me. :)

B-day fun

This weekend was fun filled and busy with lots of birthday fun. On friday I went to dinner and then out for drinks. We went to a restraunt on the waterfront that I haven't been to before, it was yummy. Saturday my friend Cori had a little get-together at her house where we enjoyed some beverages and then we ventured on to a bar in Lacey. I've only been to this bar a couple times but it was lots of fun. Quite a few people came out, several who I haven't seen for quite awhile. I'll post some pics when I get home. Sunday I didn't do too much. The weather was awful! Rainy and super windy. Didn't do anything for easter being it seems to be a family holiday and I have no family here. Went to El Toro and enjoyed a big fat burrito for my easter dinner. I finally had a monday off and had to be productive since my weekend was not. Managed to get my apt semi-cleaned, grocery shopped, talked to Dell for 2.5hrs to try to fix my computer (with no luck of course), went for a run, and even managed to make a trip to the mall where I bought my self a little b-day gift of a new pair of jeans. :) It was a great weekend and we had lots of fun! This weekend I am going to a food & wine festival in olympia. I'm a little unsure of this but I really like food and I like wine so I think I will be ok. :)

Long time

I've been crazy busy lately. Lots of work, lots of after work meetings (yuck), and plenty of extra-cirricular fun as well. Last sunday I ran a St. Patty's day run with a bunch of my coworkers. It was a little over 3.5 miles but felt super short. Most likely because there was so many runners you pretty much walked the first mile. It was crazy! And there was 5 different start times! Afterwards they had a couple beer gardens so we enjoyed a few beverages (even though it was only 10am).

This weekend is sure to be exhausting. I have dinner plans for tonight. Am going to hang out with a friend tomorrow during the day then out for drinks with some other friends tomorrow night. Sunday I have no easter plans but do have plans to spend the day with a friend. Plus I HAVE to fit in some gym time or I will go crazy! I've had after work meetings 2 nights this week so I've only been able to go the the gym 2 days and that's just not good. I attempted to get up at 5am one day so I could hit the gym before work but when I'm not getting home until around 11pm and still have things to do for the next day 5am just isn't happening, ugh! Oh well, things should settle down soon.

Anyhow, hope you all have great Easter's!!!

Computer woahs

My computer is a piece of poop right now. It won't read or burn cds. I've tried taking it out and putting it back in, restarting my computer, all sorts of things but my knowledge is very very limited. I've had the hard drive replaced once but it was still under waranty then, not now. Plus it's only about 3 years old I think. Grrrrr.

Nothing new

Nothing new here. Didn't do much last weekend, watched a movie friday, went out with a couple friends on saturday night, and out to lunch and for a walk with a friend on sunday. I worked on monday because I have a class friday, saturday, and sunday. YUCK! I'm starting to feel like every time I turn around I have another class to take. Plus this one is over an hour away and they won't pay for a hotel for me so I get to drive back and forth. Funfun. I am so not excited. Then sunday night I am meeting a friends for a drink. Currently I am trying to get the motivation to go to the gym but don't think it is going to happen. I have to pack since I have darts tomorrow night and then am leaving afterwards. Plus I'm thinking since I can't go to the gym for the rest of the week why go tonight. Haha. Anyhow, I better get to work. Hope your weekends are more fun-filled than mine!
