Totally Awesome Day

I know it has been over a year since I blogged. I’m not going to promise that I’ll be better, because that just doesn’t sound like me. Anyway…

For those of you who don’t know me, there are certain things that I don’t like or just downright despise, paying for parking is one of those things. But I get ahead of myself. So Friday night we went out with our friends Court and Brad. We were going over to Seattle for dinner and then to REI. Just those things alone would have made it an awesome day. Trying not to sour the evening with my distain I was all prepared to pay the $3 to park for dinner. When we got to McCormick & Schmick's for dinner the harbor lot was free after 4 pm. Score! So we had a great dinner and free parking and I knew it was only get better, because we were still going to REI. So with Karen (our GPS) leading the way we successfully navigated downtown Seattle and arrived at REI only to find that the parking garage there was free! What! 2 free parking experiences in one night, I thought I must have been dreaming. I was looking for a new pair of hiking boots at REI, but I came away empty handed. I guess I should have traded the universe one of the free parking experiences for a good pair of boots.

you are such a dork! Pretty sure that is Dad's fault that you hate to pay for parking. HAHAHAHA. I would pay for valet to not have to walk far.. I know pure laziness :)

Glad you are back amongst the blogging world. You shouldn't wait a year again. That is way too long.

Hope you find some boots soon.
