check this out!

i found another fun website ~ this one was created by a company on behalf of a California Milk company, random i know but it's SOOOO cool (it's a game, by the way).

Trellis

went to another new restaurant last night. this one was in kirkland in the new hotel. it's called trellis. cool atmosphere, great wine selection and good service. i think the food was good ~ i have a nasty cold and can't taste anything ~ and according to my dining partners, they said it was excellent. my tomato soup was just 'okay.'

a FUN night!

so last night, on a whim i felt like seeing a movie so i rallied a couple girlfriends and convinced them to join me. i really wanted to see 'juno' and a search of movie times revealed 'the big picture' located below El Goucho! it was such a fun experience ~ huge bins of popcorn, full bar (yes, a bar in the movie theatre!), and cheap ticket prices...probably one of my favorite hidden treasures in this fun city. i highly recommend it! oh, and the movie was adorable, too. here are some pictures of the venue.

simple pleasures...

NEW SOCKS! i got a pack of new socks...yes, simple white crew socks. one of those things that you never think about, but when you slip them on, it's GREAT!

another pet peeve...

just had lunch with my mom at a nice restaurant here in the city, and i simply HATE it when restaurants have white linen napkins ~ especially during the lunch hour. why, you may ask? in my experience, most professionals tend to wear dark, if not black slacks/trousers/dress pants/skirts/insert other item here. if restaurants insist on using WHITE linens, they should also bring a lint roller with the bill.

'nuff said.

a little out of order, but...

we had such a fun new year's eve! i love my friends!

football, couches and 7-layer dip!

so this weekend, we had a party at my friend nolan's apartment to watch the seahawks post-season game. what fun! we were in charge of the food (7-layer dip, meatballs and fried chicken ~ YUM!) and they boys were in charge of the keg. they were also in charge of the seating, which was very entertaining to watch them try to lift the 'newly-purchased-from-the-goodwill-couch' over the 2nd floor balcony. GO HAWKS!

fun website!

so i found this website (maybe others have heard of it, and i'm just behind) but it's part of the 'sugar' family ~ popsugar, petsugar, dearsugar, lilsugar, etc. i skim over some of the stuff, but i always enjoy finding fun websites. this 'family' of sites has great info on pets, home decorating, babies, advise, health and fitness, and of course celebrity gossip.
