Seattle, Here We Come!

-
Looking forward to going to Seattle this weekend for 2.5 days. We’ll be leaving Sunday morning and coming back Tuesday night. I haven’t been to Seattle since my advertising days at Y&R. My first trip up there when I was a teenager was when I was conned by my mother that we were leaving Vancouver, Washington to visit Seattle. She purposely left out the detail that we’ll be attending an all day Christian outing in some hall. That was NOT my idea of fun. (I was raised Catholic!) I’ll be heading up there with Christy and meeting up with our friend that we call Shoe, Dr. Zapata. City Beaches reunite! Now that I think about it, I hired them both at City Beach. The first thing we’ll be doing is heading straight to a bar that’s airing the 49ers v. Seagulls game. I will definitely be sporting my jersey. Love you, Jerry!

We’ll definitely hit up Pike Place and maybe pay the $18 to go up the Space Needle. I remember winding my way thru Pike Place and ended up on a rooftop deck having sushi by myself in the sun. I wonder if I can find that place again. It was so peaceful. One of my clerks recommended that I go to Fremont and go shopping there. I also read online that Bruce Lee and his son, Brandon Lee, are buried up there and there’s a memorial bench for Kurt Cobain. I think we’ll make a stop at the cemetery to check those spots out.

Any recommendations on what to see in Seattle?

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a

My Most Engaging Post Yet

Christmas is just days away. A storm in the Bay Area has passed. Two holiday parties were a success. But these past 18 hours have been a whirlwind for sure. Yesterday evening, after dinner, in our home office discussing the home we are in process of purchasing, holding a gray box from The Shane Company , my boyfriend (wearing a black long sleeved shirt and his Adidas pants with white paint stains from painting the condo earlier this year, and I in jeans, my Toby Keith blue tank top from his Las Vegas “ I Love This Bar ” restaurant, my blue SFSU zipper up sweatshirt, and my brown childhood blanket draped over my lap) got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. “Yeah.” I hugged him tight and kissed him repeatedly. He was shaking and said “I can’t believe you said ‘yes.” I couldn’t stop smiling and crying and saying “I love you.” And I couldn’t help but laugh when I called him my fiancé for the first time. Wow, we’re really engaged! Since we were in the process of negotiati

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule
