I've had a fantastic week! Highlights included:
1) a train trip down to Portland to visit my good friend Matt! It was great - saw The Artist, celebrated his dad's birthday and helped him put a roof on his new chicken coop ;o)
{Matt and me in Cabo in 2007}
2) Dinner with my best friends at Joeys... and got checked out by some guys. Heehee. Followed by underwear shopping at Gilly Hicks. Couldn't get any better!
{Joey's delicious Mushroom Soup}
3) Book Club meeting in Belltown, followed by an amazing Hot Pot party at Katie and Phils. Amazing! Phil Kang is an amazing cook... you heard it here first. (or, rather, last, since we all knew that already) Did I mention it was amazing? ;o)
{February's Book... I had the illustrated version!}
4) A day with my old/new friend Jessica: coffee, sewing, cats, more coffee, and sushi! <3 We were friends in college and recently re-connected. Hooray!
{I'll admit it... I was scared of the oyster shooters}
5) Found an old book in my room:
