It was a good week Cougs.

This b-ball season has been tough to watch. So many close losses and unexpected blowouts. But something has happened in the last 2 weeks and Cougar Basketball is back. There may not be enough time to guarantee a tournament appearance, but it is certainly not...

Local B-ham pick of the week, romantic date...
There are definitely some great dates spots in Bellingham which I like to go to with my friends instead of my husband. Toby and I enjoyed our romantic date this weekend in honor of our last night as roommates.
For dinner, we dined at Le Chat Noir. They offer a delicious fondue of swiss cheese, chardonnay and brandy, dipped with bread and apples. We also split a salad made with apples, blue...
I want this...
Being in DC when Obama addresses the nation is...
Or so I hear… Jake viewed Obama’s speech last night at the Union Pub in Washington DC, which “has always been a top destination for Hill staffers and neighbors” (per the website). Jake tells me that every TV in the place is tuned in. And the volume is loud enough for everyone to hear. People cheer during Obama’s speech as if it were sporting event. Plus, all...
Tonight was Oscar Night! Instead of a glamorous party, Toby, Erin, and I watched them in our pajamas and ate left overs. Unfortunately, I made a TIVO fatal mistake (which was sadly not the first time). Warning: If you are recording to Oscars on TIVO, make sure to add an extra 30 minutes. Since the show is live, it almost always goes over. Tonight the recording stopped half...
I said goodbye to Jake this morning. He is off to our Nation’s Capital for a week long conference with AgForestry. I am incredibly jealous and will be camera-less for the week. His Washington DC agenda includes tours and speakers from places like the Supreme Court, USDA, Federal Aid department, the Pentagon, and the Holocaust Museum. He will also be meeting with Rick Larson, seeing all...

“Lucky” - Such a cute and simple song.
I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again…

Since we are on a Facebook kick…this is pretty funny if you have a few minutes!
Hilarious, sad, and so true →
Just in case you thought you were cool, check out this article about how Facebook is for old fogey’s. Sorry friends, we are old.
Thanks Jesse for the link!
V-day tradition
Last year, Jake and I started a new tradition for Valentines Day. To beat the crowds and the cheesiness, we go out to breakfast together. It is fun on weekdays when we can go to breakfast early, before work. This year, we went to Mount Bakery, a delightful, little, French bakery. Yum!!
This is Google’s logo today. I think it looks bloody.
Friday Night Lights
I just got caught up on the last 2 episodes of Friday Night Lights, aka Cry-fest 2K9. I don’t know what is up with me but I probably teared up at least 5 times in only 2 episodes. This show is just so freaking good. For those who watch or want to start (please watch online!! Keep FNL on the air! It is about so much more than football! You can meet my two boyfriends, Coach Taylor and...
Last Night
1 hour drive to the casino and home of course
Kris and Kevin cancelled
Didn’t get in to see Hells Bells thanks to the line of 100+ people that existed at 9:00pm
Lost $20 gambling.
Jake lost $40.
I give Feb. 6th, 2009 a triple, BOOOOooooo!!
Hells Bells
Yep, tomorrow night at the Tulalip. My second time watching this crazy, rockin, all female AC/DC band. This is a pic of Adrian who basically plays Angus and is a CRAZY GOOD/JUST PLAIN CRAZY performer. I also get to hang out with good friends and probably gamble. Sounds like a triple win to me!!
H & M love.
I just want to put it out there how much I love having multiple H & M stores in this state. I get to go there enough that I don’t have to buy everything I like at once. If you are on Facebook, you should sign up for their updates or go to www.hmfriendsandfamily.com and register. Right now, they are offering a 20% off one item coupon. Love it! I like to look at my outfit each day...
Trip to my hometown...
It is crazy to me that I lived in Palmdale for almost 14 years and have barely been back to visit. Southern California certainly has its good points, mainly the constant sun, heat, and closeness to the California coast and tons of other things like San Diego, Vegas, and the Mexican border. It is also quite diverse which is something that I miss living in Bellingham. My niece Maddy, who was...
