MIA

wow, it's been about 2 weeks since my last post! life's been pretty full lately. but it's been a "good" kind of full except for a cold i caught last week.

in fact, i got pretty sick i guess cause i actually took a sick day on thursday...my first full fledge sick day for as far back as i can remember. yeah, being sick like that is no good...can't do anything except lay around. but it was pretty "well-timed" in a "God" sort of way. it was good to be able to catch up on some much needed tv time (i hadn't been able to watch any of my shows for 3 weeks! but luckily i have tivo!), and i was also able to spend part of the day reading and researching for my basic lesson this past saturday.

anyways, what else have i been filling my time with? hmmm, i got lots of pics i need to post but here's a quick summary: jumped on the seahawk's bandwagon and got to go to the home opener, finished 2:7, celebrated steph & hi-d's b-day, friend's wedding shower, organized corn maze night, started bowling thurs nights in a league, craft & chat, basic lesson...um, that's it, i think.

well that's it for now...gotta get to bed so i can get rid of the last of this cold.

NOTE: breaking news! the seahawk's just traded for Jerry Rice!!! yay! i was a huge 49er fan back in the day, and i loved watching jerry rice play! i gotta get me some tickets to another seahawk game!

P-Town & Graceland

i went to p-town this past weekend to meet up with my family that was visiting the area. it was, of course, a whirlwind shopping tour...what else are you supposed to do there! i spent a bunch of money on things i might not have bought had i not been in portland. it's definitely the "asian" in me that makes me start to rationalize buying something "now" when i can save on tax b/c i'm going to "need" it sometime in the future.



tonight i went to graceland, a small live music venue that hosts shows for local bands. i went there to see the audiobiography...abe's band! some other friends and i went to go be "abe groupies"...we were really excited to finally get to see his band perform live. an added bonus to tonight was that we also knew people in the two bands that performed before abe's band...arick is the bass player in autumn sonata and the second band was cody who (the lead singer performed at a past co-hi). all of the bands did a great job, and it was a fun AND deafening night!
