Happy Birthday Tori!!!

Yesterday Tori FINALLY turned 21! HOORAY FOR TORI! WOOT!
I feel she's been 21 for ages . . .

I was sick yesterday (boo) for her first birthday bash up on capital hill, but hopefully I can meet up on Friday and see her in action- I can't miss Tori on her 21st! I tried to kidnap Sawyer and wrap him up for you but he stunned me with his wet jeans and got away :( Thought that counts though, right? Cheers!

Mighty Mighty Leaf

Maholla peeps-Sometime last year, my sister Margaret introduced me to Mighty Leaf Tea. As an avid coffee drinker, I always enjoyed sipping tea as a conversational beverage, but never really took it that seriously as an everyday drink. Mighty Leaf Tea has changed that. What sets this tea apart is its brewing process. Unlike your everyday, store tea bag, Mighty Leaf Tea comes in silk tea pouches that allow for the utmost brewing flavors. As I sit at my desk, staring at the June rain (don't get me started on this 'summer' weather), it keeps me warm and toasty and smiling. I am on my third brew of the day!

Yes We Can

Barack Obama clinched the Democratic Presidential Nomination this past Tuesday night, ending a historic battle with Hilary Clinton. Although his triumph seemed inevitable these last few weeks, I still was amazed when I heard his speech following Tuesday's primaries. I was driving in home after pilates, when I tuned to NPR in time to catch the last half of his speech. As I sat in the driveway, not willing to turn it off an go in, I thought to myself "this is a truly historic moment, and I am witnessing it". It is rare when you realize that the moment you are living in real time, will someday be a chapter in a text book.

It's funny, I remember having a conversation with my co-worker Pete about a year ago where we discussed whether this country was truly ready to stand behind a black candidate. It makes me happy and proud to know that we are. I was lucky enough to see Barack speak when he came to Seattle, and all I can say is "YES WE CAN!"

Go Dog Go!

This weekend I will be dog sitting for my favorite pooch Oggy. Max and Anne are going out of town for a wedding, and asked me to take care of their baby for a few days. Anyone up for a trip to the dog park? Here's a great pic of me and Og on New Years!

Girls Night Out!

Maholla peeps!

Friday night was a true girls night out. Carla, Jody, Michelle and I met up for pedicures on 15th after work. In preparation for our night's events, we all chose a fun shade of red (matchy matchy).

After our foot rubs, we headed back to Michelle's for a glass of champagne and berries before heading down to the SEX AND THE CITY MOVIE!!! We were one of many groups of girls dressed up, heels on, running into the theater, leaping rows of seats (Michelle) in order to see our favorite four New Yorkers on the big screen.

The movie did not disappoint. If you were a fan of the TV show, you will love it. The movie follows Carrie as she plans her wedding to Big, and everything that goes along with that. She is of course accompanied by her lovely girl friends, whose lives are a plethora of ups and downs as well. It was so wonderful to see all four of them back together. Especially in Mexico =).
