This is really interesting…

Here’s a picture of Tanner and I trying to sing “Any Man of Mine” in Seeley. Apparently the human pyramid didn’t work as well as last time, even though we practiced multiple times that day. Oh well, besides the fact everyone was convinced we were gay I think we pretty much killed it. “You gotta shimmy shake, Make the earth quake”

Currently reading…

Speaking of karaoke – the review from SEATTLE WEEKLY is up!!!!!  I think my favorite part is how he describes skeelo’s singing: “He grappled with some pitch issues but it was clear he had a deep connection with the song and he it sang with a ton of passion”. He pretty much just hit the nail of skee’s entire career on the head

This is really interesting…

I got scrabble on my iPhone yesterday which allows you to play someone else (steph) who uses their own phone. First of all I don’t really like scrabble, probably because I know about 35 words total, and I felt kind of stupid playing on our phones when we were sitting 2 feet away from each other, but steph convinced me it was just like playing a board game. Well I got super addicted to it and couldn’t handle it when steph wouldn’t play her turn right away. She went to bed and I made her take her phone with her and keep playing. She eventually just fell asleep with it in her hand so I was super frustrated but figured i’d just have to wait until today to play again. Well by now I frickin hate it. It lets you just put words on the board and hit okay to see if it accepts it. if not, just try something else. So the last 3 words steph used today are “qua”, “quey”, and “vivary”. uhh okay pretty sure this isn’t a making-up-words contest. It’s a vocab game not a guess-and-check letter puzzle. Anyways, at that point I was down 100 points so i quit and I’m never playing again. frickin ridiculous. I’m mad even talking about it

This is really interesting…

Steph took Seeley to work with her today – fun!

The Soapbox:

I probably need to add some different songs to my karaoke library.

Lately I’m thinking…

I have no idea how ryan got seeley to do this, but my goal is to permanently convert her to walking upright so that she can give hugs without jumping

Current Status…

too soon

Lately I’m thinking…

Mariners-yankees on friday

Lately I’m thinking…

What a great weekend. Here’s a picture of Seeley and I skiing yesterday at rainier – wow going up was not easy. It was steep, super hot, I was sweating everywhere and sunscreen kept running into my eyes. Seemed to be a non-issue for Seeley though as she chased little tumbling snowballs downhill each time and was able to quickly get back to where I was as I labored through each step. Watching her bolt downt he hill at the end is frickin hilarious – she couldn’t stop in 500 yards if she wanted to probably.

This is really interesting…

Also took her to Magnuson park on lake washington. Malamutes aren’t known as water dogs or fetchers, but she swam and got the ball for me about10 times – it was awesome. Granted it took about 90 minutes, as she would come back as slow as she could, usually stopping to shake off while still in the middle of the water, but what can ya do. I was cracking up the whole time

This is really interesting…

I got a lot of sun on my stomach, and zero sun on my back this weekend. I look like a two layer piece of gum or something. On a side note, we took the ol tandem out this weekend – having seeley jog along on the side basically means everyone in georgetown has to move out of the way.

Shout out to…

Ski tickets and gas powered mowers – I had no idea how good of a deal they actually are. Climbing up just for a few turns sure shows you how ridiculously of a good deal lift tickets are that I had previously thought were super overpriced. I also tried mowing our mini lawn with a manual sinning push lawn mower thing which was basically the equivalent of doing about 100 bench presses and a couple blisters on the hands. It would go 6 inches and then stop. And that was after I trimmed the whole yard the day before (which also sucks). I think i’m just going to mow the lawn everyday so that it never gets too long for that thing to work. That shouldn’t get old at all

The Soapbox:

I’ve already had my reunion this month, and today I just put in a request for this Thursday and Friday off, next Thursday and Friday off, and the next Friday off. Super casual

This is really interesting…

I’m super sore – Sunday I went skiing and apparently it’s the first time I’ve ever done that judging by how well my legs are working today, and yesterday we put 66 stones down on the side of our house. I’m skinny. (click here for a quick before and after if you’re bored)

This is really interesting…

I really need to get a haircut before my reunion, I look like a shaggy dog. Just called my place though and the only person who can do it today is a girl in “training”. I’m torn, i don’t really know what to do – risk it or just leave it? Maybe just buy a hat – that seems to solve the problem either way

Currently watching…

The Bachelorette obvs, and the season finale of Tough Love Couples. That’s over so it means we can now officially go down to basic cable. During the finale of that show they shot a ton of white confetti all over after the marriage. Steph then asked “whoa are those birds?”, apparently wondering if they arranged to release 1 million white doves to go take over san diego

Lately I’m thinking…

There’s nothing worse than when your next door neighbor gets pizza delivered

The Soapbox:

Here was my Saturday morning – I was super productive and didn’t get anything done. Got up at 7:40 and took Seeley to the park (good start), then decided I would take coffee to steph at one of her showings, only she left 1 minute before I got there. Then I drove to greenwood to talk to “Greenwood Heating and Cooling” about air conditioning. Got to greenwood and realized they were actually located less than a mile from my house in SODO….not greenwood at all….jerks. Figured I’d at least get a mr. gyro out of my trip there and turns out they were…closed for memorial day weekend. So went to Red mIll, oh ya that’s right, spent all of my cash Friday night at the bars and on cabs, and they don’t take cards, so had to leave there too. Seeley and I then just decided to go home where we saw Steph, who had worked for 3 hours that day and still beat me home. We decided to go to El Camino for lunch, but since I was having such bad luck I double checked the website to make sure they were open first. Drove to fremont and….closed. website hours were wrong. Decided later just to go to the actual “greenwood” heating and cooling in SODO and…..closed…on a saturday. Thanks for listening

Shout out to…

The new Reader of the Week…..Molly Kolpin!! Here’s a picture of Molly from the 80s. She’s on the path with art committee and with the party coming up tomorrow I figured she would be the big winner. Unfortuntately I owe a lot of people drinks tomorrow night, so your free drink is elegible starting sunday morning at 10:00 AM. Molly also enjoys kickball and getting kicked out of seahawk games. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Current Status…

10! Chai-day Friday, nate and shana come into town today, holzer tomorrow, and Seeley the Dog comes home! I hope she even remembers who I am. if not I’m just going to give her lots of treats until she likes me again. NATURE

Current Status…

Update: probably actually a 9.8. I just remembered that as a celebration lunch for finishing an iphone app update we’re going out to lunch at …..a vietnamese place. I checked their menu, and they have 4 different sections of pho. That’s it. I guess a pizza party would have been too obvious a choice!!?

Lately I’m thinking…

CATS!

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!!!!

Shout out to…

Seeley the Dog – she’s been in Portland since our trip to Boston and comes home tomorrow! Maybe the Klitz’s will even let her ride shotgun!

This is really interesting…

I opened my computer last night after steph had used it and the search term in the google box was “used pledge on my wood floors too slippery”. Anyways, if you haven’t been over in the last week or so you probably don’t want to wear socks in the house. I’d actually recommend something more along the lines of golf spikes or baseball cleats. Safety First

This is really interesting…

Steph and I ordered two adirondack chairs from home depot, and when I got home the boxes were just laying on the front porch in front of our door. I couldn’t believe the UPS guy would just leave the packages out like that for anybody to take. 30 minutes later I assembled them and then put them back outside…

Current Status…

Strong, to quite strong. Don’t care for this weather too much though – I could go for about 100% more sun and 20-30 more degrees of fahrenheit

This is really interesting…

our neighbors brought over their australian shepherd puppy yesterday. Seeley showed her how to dig, and then 5 minutes later they were both digging in the same spot as a team. it was cute…..kind of i guess, i mean there’s dirt everywhere

This is really interesting…

I went skiing yesterday…in may…wearing way too many clothes for a 60 degree and sunny day, holy smokes i was warm

Lately I’m thinking…

Sorry for the short update, it’s not my fault, i’m going to a meeting right now and only have like 35 seconds to do this. On a side note we have a lot of meetings.

This is really interesting…

it was super nice in seattle on saturday so i sat outside and got burned. shocker. might have had something to do with not seeing sun since last september

Lately I’m thinking…

(I hope this isn’t confusing) But i can’t believe that it’s already cinco de mayo tomorrow. Or Cinco De To-Mayo-w

Lately I’m thinking…

Sorry for the late and bad update – i know this isn’t looking good going into worst update of the week wednesday, but maybe I’ll have a big rush of great insightful holiday thoughts tomorrow

This is really interesting…

Got home after a really long day yesterday – Seeley jumped up to give me a hug or try to walk on two legs or something, I bent over to do something else, and bam her paw met my left eye. The blood kept trickling out for over an hour, it swelled up, and today it looks like I got in a domestic abuse dispute or something. It’s felt like there’s been an eyelash in my eye the entire day while my eye just twitches, so that’s really helping the day go by faster

Shout out to…

Mitch for sending me this website that allows you to see how any web page today would look if a 13 year old made it in 1996 with geocities – pretty classic. warning, seeing what espn would look like almost blows up the Internet, but you do get a lot of spinny gifs!

Lately I’m thinking…

Well, I guess normally this would just be another reason to look forward to Saturday, only I’ll be out of town that day in Eugene where the forecast calls for….wait for it…….rain. Tanner don’t worry I talk about weather all the time too. On a side note – as far as I’m concerned that’s an actual picture of your made up brother

This is really interesting…

I washed one of my coats yesterday

This is really interesting…

Someone at work has a straight up pellet gun pistol. I don’t feel safe at all. He doesn’t shoot it at people obviously, but he shoots it at random things in the office which is usually followed by the sound of the pellet ricocheting off a couple different walls or items

This is really interesting…

Seeley “buried” her first bone last weekend. Apparently she uses her paws for just about everything, except actually getting a bone underneath the dirt. Instead she just used her nose to push dirt on it which usually ended up with her nose hitting the bone and starting over. At one point it ended up on the cement which made it even more difficult to hide. I’ll spare you the video I took of it

Sunny friday 10! Looking forward to this weekend. I’m going to invite Locker to Nebel’s bachelor party tomorrow. Nobody knows when that is of course, but I figure we’ll have to work around Locker’s schedule anyway

This is really interesting…

I ate some raisinettes yesterday, and on the package it something about “fruit antioxidents” and my first thought was “What kind of chocolate has fruit antioxidents?”. Then I realized they were talking about the raisins which are not only fruit, they’re dried grapes which are also fruit! DOUBLE FRUIT HEALTH BOMB! (yesterday I also had cereal, milk, an apple, a snickers, pizza, chicken & jojo’s too for those keeping track at home).

Shout out to…

Seeley the dog – she has two sores on her paws that started bleeding yesterday and the vet doesn’t really know they are – so they gave us some stuff to try and i really hope it works. If I had the B Unit here Seeley and I would cruise around everywhere, obvs

Lately I’m thinking…

I’ve been trying to think of something to put here for 20 minutes – so i guess that’s what i’m thinking. That was easier than i thought! “And all this time I be going through such pain and anguish. Such hell, for nothing!”

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! Jakers that safe especially applies to you if you are biking
