Boston "Terror"

We took Manny to a Boston Terrier meet up this morning in West Seattle. It is the second one we have gone to and they are so fun! There was probably 30 other Boston's there. He just goes crazy at these things. Manny is the 'blurry' one in the pictures! Check out their website to see if they have a meet-up event for your pup. http://www.meetup.com/Seattle-Boston-Terriers/

If the pictures weren't enough, a very low resolution video to capture the moment.

"The Love Boat" Gay Bingo

Back in college a group of us took a very fond liking to the game of bingo. It was quite an odd interest for some college kids to pick up. The typical bingo hall player is an older, usually chain-smoking, female. But we fell in love with the game and the hopes of winning big! And while we rarely ever won our gambling dollars kept us entertained for a few hours. We were pretty serious, some much more so than others with the 'good luck' charms proudly displayed!



Last night we discovered what we thought would be a re-kindling of this love for bingo. The extremely popular, 750 attendee 'themed Gay Bingo' event in south Lake Union. We could not believe we didn't know about this and expected it to be the best night ever! While it was very entertaining, with lots of costumes, vendors and themed drinks, it was not the serious game of bingo we were accustomed to. They made it very clear in the beginning of the evening by saying 'its just a game of bingo'. Well to us a game of bingo means a potential to win money, which we all take quite serious, especially in this economy. We were very alert, quiet and ready to play the only game of bingo we knew, a very strict and serious one. Meanwhile the room was roaring in chaos. As we struggled to hear the numbers called, our 'Gay Bingo' hopes and dreams were destroyed. I'm not trying to sound overly dramatic, it was just such a disappointment. But the good that came out of the evening, besides a couple unnecessary souvenirs :), was that it inspired us to get back in the game and start frequenting the classy bingo joints around town.

If you are more of a social bingo player or just looking for something different to do, check it out. Your money goes to a good cause!

How I spent my day off...

I'm not even sure where to start. Ok, here we go!

It is President's Day and I am the only person I know who has the day off. So I spent the morning with my parent's. They came to my house and we went to Kubota Gardens, just south of Seattle. I highly recommend it! http://www.kubota.org/ Of course before we could go my dad spent about half an hour shoveling the bark and gravel off the sidewalk, telling me that someone is going to walk by our house, slip on all the moss on the sidewalk or the bark/gravel and sue us. So I was inspired to go buy moss killer, along with fertalizer since our once green lawn is very brown.

Now I'm off to the dog park (or code work D.P.) as we have to call it since our dog has learned what the word means and runs to the door when it is said, gets super excited and won't move from the door until we take him there. So we're off to the D.P.!
