Roller skating in Jackson Square

roller skating tonight with my big sis.
since she was basically born on skates and is a former derby bad-ass, pretty sure it will go something like the above picture.  i'm no skating novice, but we'll see.  Here's to hoping it looks more like this!

Mammoth Roller Skating Rink!

{ tomorrow }
headed out bright and early (well, early anyway since we are in a deluge in Seattle) bound for San Juan Island.  The saint and I are embarking on our postponed anniversary trip.  We got a gorgeous room with a view and a fireplace for two nights.  Looking forward to a whole lotta eating, reading, sleeping, and absorbing the roomy affection of my lovin' man.

Because he figured out long ago that he who loves me best is he who lets me fly.


And with that, I say Happy Early Weekend and bid you adieu.

there was a weekend

In the hustle of the soul's incessant clamor
     (feed me entertainment)
         (feed me inspiration)
            (feed me solitude)
               (feed me time with others)
One can forget that there was indeed a weekend.
But there WAS.
There was indeed herself taking care of herself amidst taking care of others.
I tell you, soul.
It happened.
You are walking the line of working artist.
Be at peace.

The reason you know?
soul morning
A photograph.

Always, a photograph.
Be at peace.

i realize that not everyone looks forward to their morning commute

maples over the freeway
I wait at a gorgeous bus stop with a latte in hand

bus
My bus plugs along quietly and with minimal passengers

brick beauty in the u district
I travel through the University of Washington campus with its gorgeous architecture

tree salvation in the u district
I grin at tree salvation

ducks at montlake
The bus drives through Madison Park where I laugh at the ducks.

madison park
Then merges onto Montlake with its art deco water decorations and old houses

lake washington
And finally, Lake Washington and all its moods

read
If outside gets mundane, I begin to read

wall of trees
But once we hit the wall of trees on the other side of the lake, I'm usually window gazing yet again

east side
Taking in the vast open skies as the east side opens up into the Cascades

sign
Entering work

office view
View as I walk into my office

my office
Not bad...not bad at all.

Happy Friday, you workaholics.

Resolutionary Wars


Happiest of New Years to you, my fellow computer-junkies and lovers of champagne.
*ugh.  just typing that word made my stomach turn a bit*
ahem.

As previously established with last week's onslaught of lists, I have given adequate evidence that I am, in fact, a list whore.  It therefore follows that I would be a resolution whore.  It's the creme de la creme of lists...one that encompasses a whole entire year.

I love it.


Let's take a peak at the resolutions I made for 2010, shall we?


I was feeling rather simple, and I'm pretty happy with the results.  I could have written more, but it was also the most I've written in years, so I choose to measure that as a success.  

Now on to 2011.  I was feeling more ambitious this year, but I really do use these lists more as ideas and wishes for my life than as a blood contract to myself.  I know myself way too well than to try and bully my soul into anything, so this list comes with a lot of leeway.  


Looks like it's going to be a really wonderful year, wouldn't you say????

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTT.
(that's the sound of my party favors, duh)
What will you do this year to make it like none other?
