Seattle Adventure 2006


This was as close to the Space Needle as I got. I wanted to go up but Erin didn't. So...we didn't.






I bought a half pint of chocolate milk. It was so little and cute. I don't see these in Canada so I had to indulge.





Erin's $1.75 (or something) two scoops of chocolate something or other and my $2.50 little cup of dippin' dots. We definately don't have this in Canada. It's freeze dried icecream...banana split flavour. It was awesome.



And o'course the little 6 pack of Tabasco that I picked up because it was too cute. Good for one or two lunches only tho'.

For those that know me and those that don't I am not a fan of 'Girl from Ipanema' no matter if Blue Eyes sings it or not. MyLuc whistles it if he wants to be annoying. I mentioned that he must have been thinking of me. We saw this sign on the Friday and Saturday the song was playing in the Pike Place Market.


I wish rooms were this cheap. Erin and I went through the Underground tour which is sort of like Storeyum in Vancouver although not a play but an actual tour of the Seattle downtown underground. We found this sign on one of our walkabouts.


This statue was in one of the dog parks. It is actually one of three crouching dogs. I thought it looked cool.






Ride the Duck! I so wanted to do this. It was a tour with a on land boat that went through Seattle and then the inlet. It was a bit pricey but it would have been so much fun. And o'course the funky duck is really cool.

This is my new wooden windup duck. He has quite the pucker and o'course goes and goes. I have to keep him away from the cats tho' or he'll be picked up and taken to their toy hideaway.




Coke Blak. I haven't seen this in Canada. Coffee flavoured Coke. Tastes like a coffee candy and was oh so yummy. They were handing out samples and I picked up quite a few. Only one made it back to Canada to MyLuc. He didn't enjoy it as much as I did.






My Myokki! Just like a Chia Pet but smaller. I can't wait until my office moves and I can try and grow my little Chick some hair. I have to admit I thought it was a duck until on the Amtrak ride home Erin and I read on quite a few places on the packaging that it was a Chick.





Buddy Christ! I picked this up for MyLuc. He's a huge Kevin Smith fan and o'course thanks to Dogma I was able to find this for MyLuc. 

Thursday Funny

Never Argue with a Woman

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decidesto take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides totakethe boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")

"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.

"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading." "Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.

"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.

"That's true,but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at anymoment."

"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

It's Hump Day!

It's been too long and I've forgotten some of my really, really great blogging ideas, thoughts, rants, etc...so here's what you get:

• At the Dentists: Dr. Guy (cuz I can't remember his name) and I discuss him not telling me how I MUST floss at least twice a day and possibly after eating anything that will stick in my teeth. He does the thing that those who aren't Dentists do before the Dentist comes in (I can't recall what they are called at this moment). The Dentist comes in and does her thing and says I'll need a new nightguard because I'm an aggressive grinder. As she leaves Dr. Guy speaks up and says "and I'll remind her to do the effin thing at least twice a day before she leaves". The Dentist turns around, Dr. Guy goes red and says "Floss...I meant Floss". Typing this and reading this you get the idea but the real time was much funnier.

• Talkin' with my Mom about when we should get her plane ticket she informs me that Sprout and Robin might be coming up and she can stay at the condo while she's here...for my birthday! WTF!!! She is coming down for me, to spend my birthday with me, and stay at my house and meet MyLuc's 'rents. Not to come down and go shopping with Sprout and Robin as they play tourguide. The plan for her to come down for my 30th has been 3 years of me telling her every second Tuesday that she's coming down for my 30th. *sigh* Little bro better not wreck this birthday.

• Doing dishes as MyLuc was watching one of the Stanley Cup playoff games, I walked into the room kinda disgruntled to say "Why don't they ever play the Canadian Anthem first?"... and it was. More ammunition for MyLuc and those that know him know that he uses all the ammunition he has on me all the freakin' time.

• Attending the Celtic wedding of my friends this weekend as a Bridesmaid (and the dress fit with inches to spare Woohoo!) only to find out that they had been married by a Justice of the Peace a month previously. Now that was just totally dishonest. They told the wedding party the night before the Celtic wedding.

• After the wedding drinking Joe Stiff's (Adult Rootbeer), climbing into the tent about 3, talking til 4, closing the tent opening about 430 which freaked the 3 of us out (all girls), listening to the storm rage and the wind blow, my listening to them fall asleep, about 5 remembering that we were next to a cemetary, about 6 listening to the birds wake up, about 630 listening to the campers get up, about 7 calling MyLuc's 'rents (that's where he was) and Virginia saying we were wondering when you were going to call, 830 MyLuc and I loading the car to go home, 10 arriving home, having a shower and trying to stay awake, 12 going to bed until 4, and I think I stayed up til 9 but I can't remember.

• Picking up the Amtrak tickets and confirming the reservation at the Hotel for StrongArm and my adventure in Seattle this coming Thursday to Sunday and wondering what the heck we're going to do there. This will be the first trip we have taken together that doesn't involve going home to Trail. I will write down my adventures and hopefully will have some funnies for those who read this.

Okay, *HUGE HUGS* More to come later...if'n I can think of it and even if'n I can't.

The evolution of dance

MyLuc showed me this tonight. I almost peed my pants.

You Are 25% Bitchy

You're a pretty sweet person, and you're definitely not prone to bitchy outbursts. Sometimes, though, you can't help thinking mean thoughts about people. But at least you don't act on them!

How Bitchy Are You?
