B-I-N-G-O! On a quiet weekend...

Woo hoo! I was a bingo winner on Friday at the Grave Danger fundraiser for their Chicago trip. I was out to support my friends Skate Trooper, Sara Problem (always) and other GD members and play bingo. I love to play games (especially if there are prizes involved that I can win!) And I did win (promptly started screaming and forgot to yell bingo at first). It was great fun and great to hang out with some pals (Jeremy, Katie and Katie) that I hadn't seen in a while.

Saturday started with Internet problems that I tried to fix by "contacting your local administrator" who happens to be my brother. It turns out my provider was down which forced me down to one of my favorite coffee shops where I drank in my own brand of sunshine (Americanos) before going to the gym to start my new routine. (Before I had Internet at home, I spent many hours in coffee shops, writing emails, drinking coffee, being out and about.) Then it was off to another Kelly Rae Cunningham art opening followed by a birthday party and late dinner in Eastlake - the Eastlake Bar and Grill has revamped their late night happy hour menu. (It's sad that I know these things).

Sunday was sunny and spring. I grabbed Lara and headed over to Coffee at Bird on a Wire in West Seattle for coffee, breakfast and chatter with my skate coach Nate - then over to Discovery Park for a hike - which felt fantastic to be out in the sun. We went down to the ocean where it was low tide and looked for "reluctant creatures" and found a tiny dungess crab and a hermit crab. Two crabs and birds. No star fish or little fish in the tide pools. But it was nice to be reminded how small we are in the grand scheme of things.

And of course, to win at BINGO.
