Towel Swan

Apparently on day two of your stay you only get one swan.

Weekend Wrap-Up

It was a crazy week with long work hours and lots of projects to prepare for my trip to California which caused my weekend update post to be VERY delayed, here are the highlights:

• Left work a bit early to run by Costco on the way home to pick up some of our *regular* wine (Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling).
• Headed over to Don's to help him with any prep needed prior to dinner but he had things completely under control.
• Enjoyed lots of laughter and a really good meal with friends Kipp and Christy. Don made his infamous Orange Chicken on the grill, roasted red potatoes and green beans which was all yummy!
• Woke early Saturday for the regular trip to the laundromat, coffee at Peet's and doughnuts at Top Pot.
• Took a nap on Saturday afternoon.
• Enjoyed a quiet night at home on Saturday night catching up on my TiVo and dying Easter Eggs.
• Had Easter Brunch with Don and Kat at Yarrow Bay Grill in Kirkland. We had never been there and it was delightful. It will definitely be added to our list of regular places.
• Got an Easter basket full of fun treasurers from Nancy.
• Cleaned, organized and futzed around the house.
• Spent the evening playing pool with Don at Rock Bottom playing pool. As usual, he kicked my ass. :-)

How was your weekend?

Me as a thinker

Your Thinking is Concrete and Sequential

You are precise, orderly, and realistic. You tend to get to the point and get things done. Difficult, detailed work is easy for you. You take things step by step. Time limits aren't a problem for you either. You work well with deadlines. What does drive you crazy is any sort of task that isn't precisely laid out. You don't like anything to be ambiguous. You prefer to deal with the facts at hand.

What Kind of Thinker Are You?

Happy Easter!

Good Speller... HA!

I'm only posting this cause anyone who really knows me knows that I would never score this high if the test was spelling words and not just proofing for misspelled ones. ;-)

Your Spelling is Good

You got 9/10 correct. Your spelling is generally pretty decent. You are prone to a few mistakes, but the mistakes you make are pretty forgivable.

How's Your Spelling?

Weekend Wrap-Up

A bit tardy with my wrap-up this week cause I've been a bit under the weather. Here are the highlights:

• Ran to the grocery store with Don right after getting home from the office on Friday to get all the stuff for our St. Patrick's Day extravaganza.
• Did our laundry in what has become our typical fashion of being the first one's there in order to beat the crowds.
• Enjoyed coffee at Peet's Coffee and Tea.
• Walked down to the new Top Pot Doughnuts in Queen Anne while our clothes were in the dryer.
• Saw this extraordinary house on our way back to the laundry room, which is now on the list of Queen Anne favorites.
• Cleaned and organized the house.
• Drank beer and boiled stuff (boiled stuff is Irish for cooking) to prepare for our celebration.
• Enjoyed boxty (potato cakes), irish cheese, soda bread, corned beef, cabbage, champs (mashed potatoes with green onions) and lots of green beer with Don, Kat, Dave, Kristen and John.
• Watched The Cutting Edge 2 and The Cutting Edge 3 and am still amazed that they could make the same movie 3 times.
• Ran the dishwasher 3 times to get all the pots, platters and dishes washed.
• Read.
• Napped.
