A New Blog and More Pictures

Well, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow yesterday. I guess that means MORE WINTER....Although, I don't really have much to complain about. The winter here in the northwest has been pretty mild...still cloudy, but not freezing. I am really ready for more sunshine and longer days, but who isn't, right?!?!

I've started a new blog: supertroopblog.blogspot.com. It's for my Girl Scout Troop and offers them ideas on how to earn badges at home, keep them updated on events, etc....

And now, pictures...
I'm going to upload the pictures from yesterday and today soon, but for now I'll update the last week of pictures....

I've lived here for almost two years and today was the first time I saw the KD house at the University of Washington. It reminds me of the KD house in Lubbock - mostly because it's white with green shutters. All the houses at the UW are really close together and right across the street from campus. The more universities I visit, the more I see that that's the norm. People always think it's weird that Greek Circle at Tech was far away and that really the only purpose for the sorority houses was meetings and recruitment.

Billy Boy. He's pretty cute, huh??

One of my good friends, Chris, moved to Seattle several months ago. He and his cousin have a band called Lights On Why, and Saturday night was their first show. I've watched Chris perform for years - I remember fondly the days of seeing his band, Dirty Virgin Deluxe, play at Bash's in Lubbock....It was a lot of fun to see him play again!!

We went out with some friends for dinner tonight to Hot Diggity Dog. I'd been hearing about it all week on the radio, getting e-mails, etc....Well, needless to say it was not Diggity. Or Hot. I.was.not.impressed. I had high hopes because they advertised delicious veggie dogs, but it was pretty blah. Dessert, however, was a different story!! We went to The Fainting Goat Gelato Shop and it was YUMMY!! I had two scoops - one Salted Caramel, one Peanut Butter Cup - both DELICIOUS!! The place is named after goats that actually faint from excitement...so I'm guessing they assume the goats would faint from the excitement of eating gelato?!?!?
