New Post!!

Ok Chris,  here is a new post for you!  Sorry that I have been so slack lately.  Nothing terribly exciting to write about.  Christmas was great--I enjoyed talking to the family.  Sounds like you guys had a wonderful time together.    Hopefully I will be there for the next one with a new lung even.   Thanks to everybody for the wonderful gifts---I am a very lucky girl!  I hope Santa was good to all of you!

The snow is finally all gone so I am able to move freely.  I was getting a bit stir-crazy. Tomorrow I am heading to the store to get my new watch compliments of Dad!!  I have been without a watch for about a year so this is very exciting.  I have my eye on a sweet silver timex with indiglo.  Very necessary when at the movies.  

I am posting some pictures. The first one is my new fish tank--thanks Chris!  The other one is from a few weeks ago at Kexp.  We had the band, Minus 5 in for an in-studio.  You may recognize Peter Buck from REM standing beside me.  They were great and super nice.  

Have a great week!

Snow Adventures!

Ok Chris-

Here are some snow photos for you!  Today Melissa came over and we walked in the snow to get pizza.  It was a bit of a walk but nice to get out.  I will sleep well tonight!  I dug out some boots and heavy gloves and hat.  I haven't worn the boots since I moved here(old doc martens from the grunge days).   

I don't think the snow is ever going to end!  I am definitely stir crazy so it was wonderful to get out and explore.  Everything keeps getting cancelled and Access--my ride of choice is only doing emergency trips.   It didn't snow today but another storm is on the way.  We are not used to snow so everybody is freaking out.  I have not seen anything like this since I first moved here in 1996.

Friday

Not a whole lot of action this week.  Today I worked out and then I paid a visit to my friend Muffy.  She had her lung transplant last Friday and she looked amazing!  She was sitting in a chair with her own pajamas on and had her oxygen off!  I almost didn't recognize her.  I am so happy for her--she has been waiting for over a year.  They are talking about discharging her on Monday.  

Wednesday I volunteered at Kexp.  We had a band there for an in-studio performance so that was fun.  The band was Minus 5--Peter Buck from REM is in the band.  We took a picture with the band and a group of us from the station but I haven't gotten my hands on it yet. I will post it when I find it.

I am posting a photo of my visit with Muffy.  Have a great weekend!

Thursday

i am having a good week.  Today I went to the doctor and then I went to Green Lake with Leslie and her dogs.  Another friend,Masa also went with us.   It was really nice to hang out with them.  I also enjoyed the dogs--especially Ruby!  She is so sweet and snuggly.  I volunteered at the radio station yesterday.  I got to help out the afternoon dj(Kevin) since his assistant was out.  I helped him with his emails and comments for his playlist.  It was good to see everybody--they are such a great group of people!  

Tuesday I went out with Gwen and Bob--we got coffee and chatted.  It was good to see them both--it has been awhile since I've hung out with Bob.  Monday I worked out--it felt good to be back after our week off for Thanksgiving.  Our trainer is heading to Katmandu so he will be out for a month so we'll have different people working with us for December.  He has been really excited about this trip so I am happy for him.  They will be doing some climbing so he'll probably be glad to come home and relax.  

I included some photos of coffee from last weekend with Shannon, Melissa, Audrey and I.  In the first photo is Audrey and I in top row and Melissa and Shannon in bottom row.  The last photo is my friend Michele(dj and producer) in her office at Kexp.  I love her electric fish tank.

Tomorrow I am back to the gym and then I'll probably chill out over the weekend!

Have a great weekend!

Thanksgiving Photos

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my friend Erin and her big sister Sarah!  We had pot roast, mashed potatoes and a veggie medley.  For dessert there was apple crisp with ice cream.  It was so delicious and even better the next day for leftovers.  The first picture is Erin and me, the second is Erin and her sister Sarah, and the third is Erin and I at the dinner table. 

It was so nice talking to my family--sounds like everybody had a good holiday!  I had an email from Brian with some photos from his Thanksgiving--18 people.  The first photo he sent was of his family and the next was of Paul and his son, Brian and his son and Brian's brother-in-law and his son.

I am off to sleep--back to the gym tomorrow. We had the week off so it will great to get back in the groove!
