Went hiking with Ken on the hidden lake trail, my boots got dirty. And my feet look big. Hmm.

I finally put together the rest of my IKEA boxes and put them in my entertainment center.

August 20


Driving home in the rain, I spotted a rainbow :o)

August 19


Stopped by KFC for dinner since I was craving fried chicken... First time in a long while I've been there for food... I was not impressed.. not sure if its because they went with the trans fat free oil or what. Only bright spot was my lemonade :o)

August 18


This is one of my plants on my deck that I got a while ago.. its doing well!!!

August 17


Went down to the art festival on the Everett water front... they had these paint buckets with colored streamers around the docks.

August 16


Did my triathlon today... found these ducks in the water before the start of the race.. I swear its the same ducks from Martha Lake when I first started training for the swim... they just came out to root me on... I know it :o)

August 15


A smart car parked next to NEMO tonight... thought it was funny to see a car smaller to NEMO.. and a convertible at that!

August 14


Went to the waterfront in Everett and walked all the way to the end of the public pier. A beautiful sunset on the water.

August 13


Went for a short run tonight.. saw a couple of bees collecting pollen.

August 12


Went to REI after work. They had some great deals on triathlon clothing, so I had to go! Got a tri top and matching bottom (Who doesn't want to look good when crossing the finish line?)

August 11


Just a random shot of grilling some chicken on the BBQ. Mmm, yum.

August 10


Played our first double header baseball games today. (Lost both games) If you play a bit of 'Find Waldo' you can see there's NEMO's twin in the parking lot. :o)

August 9


Went hiking (climbing really) with Ken up Mt. Pilchuck this morning. Was a bit rainy and wet, and you could only see about 6 feet out because of all of the fog up at the fire lookout, but coming down the fog started to clear up and you could see the trail was above the clouds. Very cool.

August 8


Learned that there is a different valve on skinny road tires for a bicycle today. The slim one is called a Presta and you need an adapter to pump those up. My mountain bike has the Schrader valve.

August 7


Went swimming in Silver Lake and made it all the way across and back! This is the pier I started from :o)

August 6


This is the view from my deck, the sunrise and fog was absolutely beautiful this morning!

August 5


Finally put my plants that I bought into their proper pots. A mess, but all turned out well. (Besides the splinter I got)

August 4


Went to a movie premier in Seattle, the flag belongs to the bar 'changes' which was right next to the Guild.

August 3


NEMO was viewing the sunset in downtown Everett :o)

August 2


Went to Season ticket holder appreciation night at Safeco field. Got some great autographs and caught two balls in the outfield!

August 1


Caught Lucy just chilling in an empty box when I came over to Helen's. Why is it that cat's like empty boxes?

July 31


Bought some plants from Lowes today. Loved how the water droplets beaded up on the leaves.

July 30


While the bedroom ceiling paint was drying, I noticed the nice geometrical shadow that my IKEA lamp was casting on the wall/ceiling.
