Pig Roast!

Here are a couple of photos from last nights pig roast at the Rugens.

The best part of the weekend!

And here is the best part of the weekend. Jeremy finished the dresser!! I helped a teeny tiny bit, and then our neighbor Doug helped carry it into the bedroom.

Some good, some bad.

Had a not so great week, but a pretty good weekend.

Monday night, bridge night was cancelled in favor of a Seattle Mariners game that Paula got four tickets to. Joe, Paula, Paula's father, and I went. The M's started off okay, then completely blew it. Joe and I gave up and left after the 7th inning, as we had the farthest to go.

I hoped to have a quick drive home, but got stuck in some nasty traffic. I-5 Northbound had closed 3 lanes. 520 didn't look bad, so I crossed a couple of lanes to take the exit. Less than 5 seconds after I passed the Montlake exit, I came to a complete stop. Stop and go traffic on 520. I sat in the same spot for more than 10 minutes. Boo.

Thursday night the air conditioner went wonky. I lucked out and scored a repair man on Friday. Good news, we cleaned the air filter and added some refrigerant and all is well. Bad news - we seem to have a refrigerant leak and need more work in the off season (early September).

Saturday Jeremy headed off to bike around Lopez Island with Jeff W and Thomas. Maya and I headed off to the Urban Craft Uprising. That was fairly fun. We spent about an hour browsing the booths. I picked up a cool resin pendant with a lady bug embedded in it. Maya picked up a bag of neat looking buttons.

From the Urban Craft Uprising we went to the International District to sample cajun food from The Crawfish King. Nom Nom Nom. We had clams, prawns, and crawfish! It was the lowest spiciness level, but still at the top of mine.

After lunch, we stopped by Molly Moon, and miraculously there was a short line. We got ice cream in less than 15 minutes! I was staring off into space when the guy standing next to me started talking to me. "I don't have a foot fetish, I'm just looking at the designs on her toenails." Which caused me to look at this lady's large feet that had toenail polish and daisies.

He gave us the low down on only having ONE scoop of ice cream, and splitting the flavours, and making sure the stronger flavor was on the bottom. We had bowls instead of cones, so didn't have to worry about that. I asked him what flavor he was going to try, and he said "Thai Iced Tea". I said, I thought about tasting that. "Tell you what, I'll taste it and you can look at my face to see what I think of it." I have a photo of him after tasting it. Maya ended up with Vanilla Bean and Thai Iced Tea. I ended up with Strawberry Balsamic and Thai Iced Tea. I sampled the Salted Caramel, but was not a fan.

Cool Curling Camp

Just pulled this off of Dan's blog.

Looks like some good times.

Fun Filled Saturday

Saturday was filled with a 2 hour trip to the dog park, a trip to the Redmond Farmer's Market, and our friend Jeff's 40th birthday party.

Dog Days of Summer, Part Deux

Dog Days of Summer

I've been busy making Gravity pose for me.

However, tonight when I picked blueberries out of the yard, I was sans camera. Sad me. For Gravity flushed out a brown bunny rabbit with a white tail. Where it came from? Nobody knows. Where it went? Out one of the holes in the wood fence against the backyard.

Last couple of weeks have been busy.

The last couple of weeks have been busy.

My sister-in-law has been in town for work. Jeremy's done a lot of bike riding on his new bike (This included his getting hit by a car one evening. He's fine. The bike needed a little work.) I picked Jer up from a board meeting and had drinks at the Ram in Northgate. I've also taken a canning class.

I've been going to work, the gym, walked the dog, done a little shopping, and some gardening in the back yard.

We're getting ready to head out with some friends to a wine tasting in Kirkland. Phew!

A few other Kerry Park Spiel photos.

Game 1 and more.

Game 1 was crazy. The ice was super heavy and very slippery. It was hard to keep our balance and scary as all get out.

I was happy I managed to get my rocks over the hog line and to not crack my head open.

We started to make friends with our neighbors and the other Canadian curlers right away.

I bumped into Heather, who curled at the PIC. One of the guys that curled at the PIC recognized my jacket, and we made friends with his family. We played Graham in game 2 and lost. :(

We didn't stay up too late on Wednesday evening. We had gotten up early to get to the club and had to wait almost 2 hours to play as the tried to fix the ice.

Kerry Park Summerspiel 2009

Had a great vacation in Canada.

Jeremy and I drove to the Anacortes ferry in our Honda Civic Hybrid. We passed Mike and Em in the Rolling Condo of Groove on I-5 going North.

We had a fun ferry ride over (Mike got lost on the way to the Anacortes ferry AND to the Kerry Park Curling club.).

The first person we saw in the RV lot was Lu, the lady that curled on my team at 4 foot curling camp last year. Small world. :D

Friday. time for some serious coffee.

Someone walked by and commented how funny it was, all of us playing on our phones not talking to each other.

Geeks!!
