Monday

I worked out today---I did 35 minutes on the treadmill(a new record for me).  I also gained a pound--yippee!  Yesterday I went out for coffee with my friend Tina.  Then I headed to Ballard to run some errands.  It was a nice day---in the 70's.  Tomorrow I head to the doctor and then to the dentist.  This is looking like a busy week. Right now I am watching Jon Stewart--I love his show! I hope you are all doing well!

Tuesday

Hello!

Not too much going on with me.  I worked out yesterday and then tomorrow I am going to volunteer.  I think I am going out for coffee with friends Friday after my workout.  It was good talking to everybody last weekend!   The group in Atlanta sounded like they were having a great time.  I would love to see pictures of the boat trip if anybody took any.  Mark it was also great talking to you and of course also good to chat with Dad.  I just talked to Dad and he sounds great--he even went in to the store today.  He had a neighbor give him advice about the diabetes and show him how to test himself.  Tomorrow he goes back for a followup visit to the doctor that worked on his neck.   I am including some photos from Melissa's party this summer.  They had a game called Rock Star where you play instruments and the computer scores you.  It was really fun and a challenge.  Have a great week!

Update

It has been awhile so here is a little post to hold you over!   Weekend was good--relaxing with beautiful weather.  I went to a great little coffee shop down the hill with an outdoor patio.  I went with Melissa and Shannon--I am posting a photo.   Melissa does fundraising for a nonprofit and Shannon works for an advertising agency.  She is also a dj once a week at Kexp.  Her show is on at 1 am so she is big in England.  

Monday I had my workout and today I chilled out.  I did actually do some laundry and even did my sheets---I love clean sheets.  

Tomorrow I am going to the station to volunteer--should be fun. We have a band coming in for an in studio--that always keeps thing hopping!  

I talked to Dad tonight.  He sounds good--a bit tired but that is par for the course.  I had to keep reminding him that he needs some recovery time.  You know Dad though---he was on the treadmill and doing laundry.  He has been napping though.  He said he laid down for a minute and slept for three hours.  I also talked to his neighbor Lillian and she is looking out for him and taking him food and offered to drive him to his doctors appts.  Dad said Wilbur has been to visit him a couple of times.  So I am glad that they are all looking out for him.  I told Lillian how much we appreciate her keeping an eye on him.

I am watching the end of Conan and then I'm off to sleep.

Sunday night

Not too much going on with me---a relaxing weekend.   Today I went to my friend Michaela's house to watch Ironman.  It was a fun movie--Robert Downey was amazing!   It was nice to have some down time after my hectic labor day weekend.   I think I am just now beginning to  recover from all that madness!!   It was definitely worth it--so much fun!   

Tomorrow I am back to the gym and then more relaxing.  Tuesday I am going for an acupuncture treatment.  It has been years since I have done this so I am very excited.  The clinic is a teaching clinic and they have great prices for low income people.  I always feel so much better after a visit.

That's all for now---have a great week!

Labor Day Weekend

I had a busy busy weekend and I am just now recovering!!   I attended Bumbershoot Festival all day Saturday and Monday evening as well.   This is a huge music and arts festival that takes place at Seattle Center by the Space Needle.  This is the place where they held the World's Fair back in the day.   I volunteered for Kexp--my radio station on Saturday and they got me in free both days and vip passes to avoid the lines.   It also gave me good seats for the stadium shows.  Saturday I saw Neko Case, Lucinda Williams and M Ward.  Last night I went back for Superchunk and Death Cab for Cutie.  It was so much fun and I ran into lots of people from the station and other friends. 

I also went to a bbq at my friend Sal's house.  Gwen and Pat gave me a ride there and then I  took Access to Bumbershoot.
