b’s two best bff’s came to visit us over the memorial holiday weekend, chuck and ricardo. we had a blast. it was my first time meeting them and all i can say is that they rock and i would hang with them any time. we spent some time on the islands, toured the city, ate at our favorite mexican restaurant downtown, watch the indiana jones movie, went to a few parks and bars and believe it our not the boys actually wanted to shop at the outlet malls a bit. anyways, it was great to have people around. we luv visitors, so if you want to see seattle, you are welcome to come and hang anytime.

my bff in new york, miriam, is once again joining team in training for the nyc triathlon. besides training herself, she as also volunteered to mentor newbies at marathons to help them be successful in their own nyc triathlon journeys. so if you like to donate money to good causes (this would be fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society) please visit her page and give her some dough, yo. i will be donating as soon as i see how much money i spend in her auctions to raise money for the race. i promise. right now i’m the only bidder. bet that will change. anyhow, if you are interested check it out.
everyone seems to have new’s year’s resolutions. here’s mine and the focus on returning to the basics.
1. eat healthier, more fruits and veggies, more whole-grain, non-processed, all-natural organic foods.
2. relax more and stress less. it’s all in your mind and you can control it.
3. make the important people in my life a higher priority. do all that i can to ensure their enjoyment, happiness and relaxation.
4. save more money then in the past.
5. find peace and relaxation in my new hobby - bonsai. my classes start on the 28th of february. slowly working on building my dream garden. ; )
6. take care of mother earth. learn what i can do to make a difference. and to take the extra seconds to recycle items instead of doing the easy thing and throwing it in the trash.
at our company outing on thursday, we enjoyed red stripes, and daquiris, and pina coladas, and great jamacian food. i also ended up getting recruited to play dominoes. they needed one more to complete the bracket of teams. my partner was josh. i ended up winning in every bracket no matter what the rules the opposite team seemed to make up. josh and i still dominated and sweeping the tournament. pic showing the intensity to come.
but it’s official i’m the domino queen.
