I took the day off...to go to the doctor, finally! My new doctor is in Upper Queen Anne, which was wonderful. I slept in and walked up there on this beautiful sunny day! When I came home Ellen was on and I decided to have a glass of wine and cheese and crackers for lunch. What a great idea that was! I am going to take the bus downtown later to meet Topher to go to a matinee, maybe Terminator: Salvation?

Pictures from the last time we saw Esther. She is very photogenic, I on the other hand was too goo-goo eyed to pose for the photos. Oh well...

This week....we went to a Mariners game, which they won! We saw Star Trek! We ate some delicious food out at Kushibar and Palace and in, from the grill...sitting in the sun. We both have tomorrow off and look forward to hanging out together. Topher is sleeping on the couch, tired from work and a walk around Green Lake. Good night!

Everybody I know seems to know me well but they're never gonna know that I move like hell

:::nothing gets crossed out:::

I am so tired. Tomorrow it will be one month to go... There is a lot to do and time will fly. I have been knitting like crazy for Esther and trying to keep on top of what seems like a growing amount of personal responsibilities. We are looking forward to Summer and our trip to Australia. We both need a vacation. Things are busy with Topher's work too and he is trying to balance it all out, by possibly becoming more busy. Equanimity will be the watchword. We are still enjoying our side of the hill and periodically look at real estate, but can't imagine moving until we feel like we have to.

It's the little things...
I got an amazing CD yesterday, Staff Benda Bilili is a group from Congo of paraplegic street musicians who sing about political issues (and have really cool homemade vehicles)...listen to the story or go and get the cd. Lately I can not get enough of African Music!
We met Eddie at the Fund for the Animals Silent Auction and got excited about getting a dog someday too.

He is a Pomeranian and Italian Greyhound. Mutts are the best! Thanks for listening, I feel better now.

Spring stopped by for the weekend here in Seattle. It is gorgeous out! I finally had my once every few years Aveda facial and I hope that I remember to do it more often. It felt wonderful and amazing to lay down and have someone else do the pampering for once.

We have been trying to catch up on all the movies we been wanting to see. So far we saw Slumdog Millionaire, Gran Torino, State of Play and Wolverine. All good movies, I was especially impressed my Wolverine. I thought the ads played it up as cheesy as the other X-Men movies, which is okay with me, but it was so much better then I expect. Awesome! I want to see it again. Next on the list is Star Trek.

Topher is at work right now and I am at home enjoying the warm weather. In the process of making my mom a birthday CD I discovered how much of my music is missing from the hard drive. So I plan on uploading some of it, we'll see how long it keeps my attention.

Today The Sounders play and we plan on barbecuing and watching the game at home. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Tomorrow we are having a Cinco de Mayo Party and other crazy things going on in Room 102! I found this Horchata recipe that is totally cheating, but doable for people who do not want to put rice through a sieve!

Happy Weekend almost here!!!

The Hunt For Gollum

Today is the internet release date for The Hunt For Gollum! Awesome! I can't wait to see it, but first I must correct papers....
