It’s funny, the entries people ask me to write the most are of my every day life. My friend Thomas<\/a> say his readers want the same thing. But those are my least favorite because I just don’t find that stuff very interesting! But just for you guys, here is a mishmash of photos I took from my phone, some cool, some boring, some pointless. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

I pretty much backflipped when MAC did a Maleficent line of cosmetics. I wanted everything, so I settled on the eyeshadow quartet. Love it!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fun fact- my mother in law is the 2nd most senior employee at Widmer Brothers Brewery! Not in age, but she’s been there 27 years! She gives brewery tours a couple weekends each month. The brewery just had a huge remodel and she brought me in to see the new bar area. Love it! Of course, I’m lame and love their home brewed root beer. It’s just so good!!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Yellow Leaf Cupcake Company is a cupcakery I heard about from my runny buddy Krissy<\/a>. She told me about it on Twitter, as we are both cupcake lovers, and I flipped when I saw it was in walking distance of where I work! I’ve only gotten cupcakes from there twice, but more often I pop in for one of their amazing cupcake lattes. So good!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I probably take for granted that I walk by here all the time. Pretty cool! Seattle’s Pike Market
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Self-proclaimed makeup junkie. This was after a sale at Ulta.
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was Dan’s cousin’s daughter’s (phew!) birthday! She turned 3! We sent her a little art kit and the other night I got this awesome photo! Go Stella!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My newest hobby- volunteering! I’ll get more into this another time, but i’m currently a cat carer\/ socializer for Purrfect Pals Cat Shelter! I actually used to volunteer quite a bit in college and even after, so I thought I’d do it again.
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Started a new book! Love some summer reading!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I tried this. It was ok. I don’t feel the need to drink it again.
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m really excited to say I’ve gotten back into hashing<\/a>. Many cities have hash kennels, they’re all different and some people click with others better. The good news- I love the Bremerton hash! Known as the Holy Sh!t What the F$^k hash, they have crazy trails through rivers and stinging nettles. <\/p>\n

Rivers? Yes. Rivers.
\n\"<\/a>
\nThe bad news? It’s in Bremerton. As a Seattle resident, that means I need to ferry out there.
\nMy new every-other-Sunday ritual
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I just have so much fun with these guys. Here is a group of us that has hashed frequently or lived in Japan.
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So I went from taking trains in Japan to get to hashes to taking ferries via WSDOT to get to hashes. This is always a welcoming sight as I come home though!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jamie and I during a Seattle hash trail this past weekend. Lots of mud running. Well, when we were stuck in the mud there wasn’t much running.
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, random note- my sister got super sick! She came down with a bad, bad case of pancreatitis and was in the hospital for quite a while. So I took the opportunity to come down and visit her, and get some quality time in with my nieces and nephew!
\nWalking to Target! Melissa, Nate, Vanessa and I
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Making cookies!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I went to surprise my sister with balloons, flowers and magazines at the hospital- NO BALLOONS ALLOWED!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Impromptu Menchie’s date with my nieces
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That speck is E, the girl I nanny, who ran down to the International Fountain and ran back. The International Fountain is a cool giant fountain that spews water synchronized to music. I love going to read there on sunny days! Sadly this was one of my last days with E til fall- she’s in a ballet program out of state for the summer! Miss her already!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kelsey, Jim and I hosted our lovely friend Alyssa and her boyfriend Brad one night for dinner, drinks and games. As usual, Cards Against Humanity was a big hit!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This past Sunday (Father’s Day) was super rainy. We’re talking torrential downpour. So I made cookies! We don’t make cookies in this house like most do. We mix up a batch, ball them up, then freeze them and baggy them. This way, we don’t feel the pressure to eat an entire batch in a couple days. And when we sit down to watch a show, it’s awesome having hot, melty, freshly baked cookies each time!
\n\"<\/a>
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I will end with some exciting news- tomorrow (Thursday the 19th) begins BIRTHDAY WEEK!!!! Oh yes, I’m turning 29 next week and am approaching the last year of my 20s in style. My belovedest girl friend from college Brittany is coming up to visit for the weekend, and we’re running the Rock n Roll Seattle half marathon together!
\nBrittany and I in college, I believe fall 2006. We were babies!
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Early 2013, when we ran a half together in Oregon
