Craving Sunshine…

Ok, confession time: I’m a huge fan of the Hills. I watch it every week (Tues nights at 10 PM) and sometimes even secretly wish my life was as easy-breezy as Kristen’s or Lo’s or whoever. I mean, who wouldn’t want this to be their idea of fun:

Last night’s episode took place in Costa Rica. Ah, just thinking about it makes me want to go there. Seattle’s been a downer for sun lately and I’m craving a vacation. The boy keeps saying he wants to go somewhere, but hasn’t yet made up his mind…UGH! Lol. We were thinking of Vegas though, staying at Mandalay Bay, because they have a “beach” there (translation: a man-made beach, but hey, it’s better than nothing :p). Actually it doesn’t look too bad…what you think? I think I could handle staying here :

*SIGH* Now I really hope we go lol! I just need a break from work, the “summer” (or lack there of) in Seattle, and I sooooo want to wear the new bikinis I bought (hehe)!

What about you guys? Anyone in dire need of a summer holiday? Feel free to share below.

Finally a sunny Seattle weekend…

Hello all. First off, apologies for the month-long hiatus. Other things got in the way, etc. but now I’m back!

Even though it’s Monday (blah), I’m not totally depressed because I had an amazing weekend. The weather here in Seattle was finally spring/summer-like, and I was outside practically all the time. What did I do, you ask? Well, here’s a little recap:

Saturday, me and my best friend Emily took our dogs to the dog park. I haven’t introduced my dog yet on here, so here’s a picture. His name is Bruiser and he’s the best dog EVER:

They both had loads of fun at the dog park (it’s actually a dog beach where they can run around in the water, dig in the sand, etc), and my friend and I had fun chatting and sunning ourselves. Perhaps I got a little too much sun, though: the tops of my feet are still red today

Saturday night me and the boyfriend (Mat) went to a friend’s birthday party at his lake house. We didn’t get there until 8 pm but it was still light out (yay!) and we had an enjoyable night with friends and booze (hehehe).

Sunday Mat worked on my car with his brother-in-law and me and his sister repainted their lawn furniture! I really like taking something old and sprucing it up again, it’s fun and makes me feel like I accomplished something…plus I like painting! We took them from a faded blue to a vibrant red.

I think what made everything so fun though was the fact that the sun was out the whole time! Maybe I’m weird to be blogging about having fun in the sun, but in Seattle it seems that the sun makes rare appearances, or at least lately. It’s about time it showed its face…hopefully there will be more sun-filled weekends to come from this
