living in my shoes

Well, yes, it has been over 2 weeks since I have blogged, But I have been a busy girl, so please forgive me.

It was Brett's Birthday on Friday , he turned 16 years old!! wow, I cant believe HE is that old, freaks me out a bit, but I better get use to it. He has gone to Jeff's for the weekend with Jake, and we will have cake on Sunday when he returns. We were going to go to Silverwood this weekend, but have postponed it till the 26th of August. Too much going on right now, and it will be better to go then.

Work is Crazy! we have expanded our store from 2400 sq feet to 5000 sq feet! the wall came down last night, I will post pictures next week when the carpet has come in and we have passed insepection, it is very exciting for all of us!

Today Scott and Sam and I went on Sam;s very first ferry ride. We went over to Bremerton , which is a navy town, But the town was dead, there wasnt anyone on the streets, it was crazy. But I did find a wonderful little Pizza place, called BOSTON, and it is all red sox stuff, the owners are from Boston, and they had one of the little rooms in their place painted like Fenway Park :it was very cool. Sam had a good day, he kept talking about how much fun the ferry ride was, that was all I needed to hear!
I really like the picture I took of the Seattle skyline, looks pretty good, you should click on it to get its full effect!

IT is hot hot hot here in Seattle! Tomorrow will be the hottest day so far, could reach almost 100! Thank GOD for AC!! We will be staying inside keeping cool!


Over the weekend I went to the Kenny Chesney Concert. More than just Kenny played, Here they are in order: Sara Evans, SugarLand, Brooks and Dunn, and Kenny Chesney. It was a great show. Except that we left early into the Kenny Set. Yep, you read that right, We had been there since 4:30 in the afternoon and all was well. The drunks were behaving themselves ( and no , I am not talking about me and Maegan) all was well. Then Kenny came on, and all hell broke loose! Everyone was standing on their chairs and Maegan and I couldnt see a thing! not even on the big screen, It was crazy. on top of that, The drunks behind us, were with the drunks in front of us, and the joined them, 6 people in spaces for seats for 2! In front of us! it was so wrong on so many levels, Finally I grabbed Maegans hand and we walked up to where we could talk, and we made up our mind to leave. we were sitting in the 21st row on the floor, and we had to leave cause we couldnt see! But all in all, it was a great show! I had never seen the first three ones ( there was really four before Kenny, but we missed PAT GREENE cause we were in traffic) anyway, I had never seen Sara, Sugarland or B&D before, it was worth it just seeing them!
here is a picture that maegan took of the two of us, Someone was kind enough to take a picture of us while we waited in line for the Bathroom ( a good 20 minute wait) but this is not that photo!
Have a good day !

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

It should be a great day! for the first time in decades ( for real) it is a nice day here in Seattle! it should reach 90 and we should have a nice night for fireworks! This AM bright and early Sam and I walked around our neighborhood and put flags in everyone's front lawn . Scott was wondering " what if they dont want one there" and I so kindly reminded him that if they didnt want one there on this day, then they are not truely Americans and they can go live somewhere else. One neighbor came out and THANKED Sam for doing it, he of course was one of three of us who had a flag flying on their house. Granted , we only have 13 houses on our street, but still. Old guy on the Corner, Us, and Major Paul fly our flags proudly. Anyway, should be a great day, I plan on drinking margaritas all day and hanging out in the sun reading a book. BBQ tonight with Scott's brothers family, ( what joy) and fireworks later.

In 3 short days Maegan and I will be heading to qwest field for the Kenny Chesney Concert! and it should be a beautiful day for that as well!

Last Saturday night Scott and I went to the Mariners game with a girl from the store, WE had some great Seats and I got a great pic . Here that is :

Me and Karen During the 7th inning ( She was glad I didnt show up in Red Sox attire ).

And then A picture of Richie Sexson, Whom I like very much, and I am not saying it is cause of his name or not, so you think what you want.

Have a great Day Everyone!
