<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Christmas is only 2 months away and this is the time I usually start thinking about what to get or make for my loved ones. This year I'm looking for something different. I feel like everything has been done already. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">For co-workers one year I made baggies with cocoa mix, marshmallows, a hershey kiss, and a mini candy cane. But that was for the everyday person and not something I would make or give to my close friends. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Here are some ideas I'd like to play with over the next couple of weeks to figure out if I can upgrade or make it my own. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I have some of the most amazing friends who are continually there for me no matter what. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">They each inspire me in one way or another and I hope that I am able to do the same for them. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">My friends don't tell me what I want to hear, but instead tell me the truth. We may be mean girls sometimes (wedge wednesdays!) but we're all smart and respectful enough to know where to draw the line. Our cheeks hurt from laughing so much, we get emotional at times (hey we're girls you can't blame us), and we know how to have a great time! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So here's to my girls, you each know who you are, and fuck off to the jealous bitches! </span></span></div>

So here it goes! </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">'Name someone who has a great voice' </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When I initially read this I thought of two things. First I thought of someone who has an ear appealing voice that I could listen to for hours on end. Then I thought about someone who people feel is worth listening to. Sort of like the voice of the people. But I'll go with the first one and I'll give two answers. I don't think I'm cheating because one is a male and one is a female. The great female voice is Adele. She has this amazing singing voice that is able to capture every emotion she is feeling and have all of them resonate with me. I've also heard her in interviews and love that she has such a 'potty mouth'. </span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/NAc83CF8Ejk?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The great male voice will have to be Ryan Gosling. He has a certain accent when he talks that makes my heart melt. He also has a way of grabbing my attention when I hear his voice sing. He has a deep soulful voice I can listen to all day long. No need to elaborate just listen. </span></span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Apparently I just don't think anything new or interesting happens in my life. Well I'm going to change that and make things new and exciting. That was part of the purpose of blogging more anyway, so I'll put it to use. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The most exciting news right now is that I got a new bike over the weekend! I love it and have ridden it 4 out of 6 days so far. All I need to do is add a cute basket to the front and I'm set! </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I also bought a day planner over the weekend because I feel like I don't follow through with things like I should. This is sort of my way of holding myself accountable. Once I finish something I can cross it off and that makes me feel better. So now if I write down I'm going to ride my bike 5 miles or do 50 sit ups, it will happen! </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I also recently got a tumblr account.

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This was also up and down my side walk this morning. Someone is all about the peace, love, money, and music. And love Camila, but since I don't know my neighbors I wouldn't know who that is.

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I did go to Barcelona in April and we took a bike ride while we were there, so here's my first bike ride of the year. </span></span></div>Deahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14845251535351373545noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-841600507231071419.post-54637036430538070652011-01-11T13:33:00.000-08:002011-01-11T13:33:17.089-08:00So this is the new year, and I don't feel any different<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Though it often seems like a good idea, I never make New Year resolutions. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's not because I think I will fail but I'd rather create longer or shorter term goals than be restricted to a year (or less if I do in fact fail). </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I also don't feel that because we add another year to the calendar that it should be my starting point.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The night started at El Prado bar which is across the street from The Echo. My friends Adela and Leslie showed up a bit after and we all enjoyed some good conversation and alcohol before we headed over to the show. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Once we go there it wasn't too packed which is exactly how I like it. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">We sat on the patio a bit to wait for them to go on. They were great live and the combination of my buzz and their music made for the perfect evening. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Nights like those are why I enjoy spending time with friends and experiencing the same things together. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">One of the best things about going to The Fonda is that Blue Palms bar is right next door and you can go between the two. This makes every concert there an instant winner. Went with Bill and missed the first band, because of said bar, and so we started with the band Darker My Love. They put on a fun show, wasn't sure what to expect from them but was pleasantly surprised. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Next came Delta Spirit. I know some songs from the one cd I own and did not expect the show we got from listening to that cd. It was intense, rockin, and extremely fun. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">There will be a total of six concerts this month and since I haven't posted in a while what better way to rekindle my relationship with my blog. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Yesterday I accompanied the lovely <a href="http://malthestar.blogspot.com/">Malinda</a> to see <a href="http://www.brookefraser.com/">Brooke Fraser</a> at the El Rey. Though I didn't know any of her music and had only listened briefly it was a great show. We arrived just before she came on and her backing band was great. I especially enjoyed the bass thumping songs she played, about 2 or 3 of them. She is from Australia and quite witty while she was up there. She reminds Malinda of Ann Hathaway and reminds me of Kate Voegele or other artists like that who get played on all those CW shows. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Very interesting mix of people and definitely more male bodies than I would have expected to see there. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">No pictures of the show but here is a video of Brooke</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm going to see Florence & the Machine tomorrow. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm beyond ecstatic and I might even get to see them Monday as well. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This song is my favorite when it's done acoustically. She is extremely talented and her voice is so beautiful.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I didn't know how large it actually is and now I'm in love. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There is so much more than just graves and headstones.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Here are some pictures from that day. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My favorite part is that they name each section (so it's easier to find your loved ones) and the beautiful names they give the areas. This one was fitting as Tino and I drove by. </span></span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I left Friday night to Seattle to visit my amazing friend who I hadn't seen in a little over a year. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">My view from the plane was spectacular. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I got there late Friday and Natasha was working so I hung out with her until she closed. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Saturday we went to eat brunch at this cute little place that was converted from a house into a restaurant. Then we went to the U-district to walk around and check out some thrift stores. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We then went to trader joes to grab some stuff for a picnic we would be having before The National concert. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The show was amazing.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">First stop the Fremont troll </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DvalHAxwtp0/TJZdeDZ7lqI/AAAAAAAAANM/HwfpwOJ-Jow/s1600/SNC12178.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DvalHAxwtp0/TJZdeDZ7lqI/AAAAAAAAANM/HwfpwOJ-Jow/s320/SNC12178.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> We went to the Fremont Marketplace after that to walk around the little booths. Nothing really fancied my liking so I didn't buy anything. We also went to Theo chocolate to pick some up since it's some of the best chocolate I've ever had. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Then we went to Ballard to visit the Edith Macefield "Up" house. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's a house this woman wouldn't sell to developers and so they had to build around it. She passed away a little after she refused to sell her house, though it still remains...probably because people would object to it being torn down. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DvalHAxwtp0/TJZdiReTzzI/AAAAAAAAANU/2V70nXM6zJY/s1600/SNC12180.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DvalHAxwtp0/TJZdiReTzzI/AAAAAAAAANU/2V70nXM6zJY/s320/SNC12180.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Then we stopped at Trophy Cupcakes in Wallingford. It's so pretty there. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DvalHAxwtp0/TJZdmgdbWgI/AAAAAAAAANc/WSLXjPHL6wE/s1600/SNC12184.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DvalHAxwtp0/TJZdmgdbWgI/AAAAAAAAANc/WSLXjPHL6wE/s320/SNC12184.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Natasha had to work Sunday night :( so we headed home so she could get ready. I walked to a local used bookstore and bought 4 books. It was a nice walk, makes me wish we had cute little stores just as close so I could walk to those. Her boyfriend made us dinner, then we headed to her bar to hang out. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Tino's old roommate and his girlfriend happened to be visiting at the same time so they came up to hang out as well. I talked to a lot of locals that night and I think that's the night I felt like I understood a little more about people and their environment. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Monday was very relaxing. Natasha made a delicious breakfast, we headed to Ballard to get more cupcakes from Cupcake Royale and some Stumptown coffee. Then we went to Mr. Gyro for lunch before I left to come home and make myself snap back to reality and the responsibilities I have. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
