I took off work on Friday, to spend the day in the sunshine with Johnny. We got up, ate some waffles and headed to the Ferry Terminals to take a trip to Bainbridge Island. The trip over was SO MUCH easier on foot vs what we had experienced on the Orcas trip - waiting in lines for 2 hrs just to get ON the ferry is simply ridiculous. We made it to the island and a short walk got us to the Pub we were looking for, but not much to see along the way for cute little island shops. Much more residential than anything, at least where we were.
Had some awesome spicy warm chickpea dip, a chickpea burger and a couple of beers. We had an uneventful but beautiful trip back. When we got home we sat outside and listened to music and played with the pups. It was pretty awesome.
Today we walked down to Freemont - not really as far away as we thought. Johnny made fun of me because we went to Norm's - which allows dogs and I kept pointing out all the adoreable pups! I cant help it. I'm a dog lover.

My new favorite games
My two new favorite games are stolen from the BBC show 'Outnumbered" These are games the mom plays to keep her family entertained.
"Fortunately, Unfortunately" - example:
Person 1 Starts: Fortunately - The dragon who came to visit the house was friendly
Person 2 Answers: Unfortunately - He had a bad case of diarreha.
and so on. ..
The other is "who can tell the biggest lie" and that sounds like fun too...
It entertains ME

International Beer Fest!
I'm working on taking things day by day and not pre-planning everything I do. Sometimes that works out. This morning I saw a message about the Seattle International Beer Fest on my twitter feed and Johnny & I decided that since I was already off work we should go!
Trip downtown was nice & easy, friendly older dude wanted to talk about tattoos and his blues rock band. BUT we got to the fest nice & early, no lines and a beautiful day. We got 4 oz beer glasses and 10 beer tix each. All beer samples we tried were 1 ticket each, and we enjoyed quite a few plus a Chipotle Field Roast Sausage from Dante's Dogs. I needed a little break, so we took a little nap in the sun under shadow of the Space Needle & headed home.
After a little nap & leftovers we took the pups into Woodland Park. Buko really love it there and was VERY good walking, Maxxie hung in there pretty well too!
Johnny got the wrong size DOT helmet from Lowbrow, and the bastards dont have the right size in stock, so now he's screwed. ULTRA LAME.
Now for Advil PM and another awesome day in store for us tomorrow.

13 years is a long time
Today was the 13th anniversary of becoming an employee with my current company. I would never have guessed how my life would turn out, and am VERY lucky for how it did.
Johnny took the bully for a walk in the woods and it seemed to be a hit. Some Blair Witch rocks stacked up, a random tent and much running. I got cuddles on the couch tonight since he (Buko, not johnny) was so tired and i loved it!
Dinner - Rice & Beans Chipotle Field Roast
Bedtime - within the next 10 minutes

Its been a while
I can barely keep up checking my twitter/facebook/pinterest/tumblr blogs so why not start one more? The other night johnny found an old blog of mine and while it was silly, it brought me back good memories of doing it. So I'm gonna go for it...
Today I had to be at work by 7:15 am and two interviewers still beat me in. We had 12 interviewees in between 8am and 1pm. Sheesh. I did get my pick of parking spots in the garage, there's pretty much no one in the building at that hour.
Currently watching: Iron Chef
Dinner tonight: Salad. I added cucumber, tomato & avacado to mine.
Cooked: Rice & Beans with Chipotle Field Roast AND prepped chickn base for chickn biscuits for later. Since I'm a slob, called Johnny in for kitchen inspection to keep away the bugs and avoid the suprise of my slobbishness at a later date.
Beer of the night: Pyramid Apricot - quite delecious
Expected bedtime - no later than 10pm
Weather - Supposed to be warm-ish, around 75. It may have gotten to 71, but no sunshine. Very weird getting used to warmest part of the day starting at 4pm. Not sure how I feel about it yet...
