Satori Group & Soul Food

I can't imagine a better way to spend a Saturday night.

Eric and I drove up to Capital Hill in Seattle this evening to take in some Soul Food and a Play. I had bought tickets on Thursday to support my co-worker Alex and go see this play his theater company THE SATORI GROUP was putting on.

I asked Alex a lot about the area around The Little Theater where the play was, to see if it was somewhere Eric and I could grab a bite to eat before the play.

He recommended King Fish Cafe for some Soul Food.

Eric has been wanting to eat Soul Food for as long as I've known him, and so I knew it would be the perfect appetizer for the play.

We were immediately seated and within 15 minutes of being there, it was standing room only people were waiting for tables. We walked in at just the right time. We ordered Fried Green Tomato's and hush puppies for an appetizer, I don't really like tomato's but I ate my fair share of the appetizer, they were delicious. Then Eric ordered a seafood jibba with grits and I got some buttermilk fried chicken with collared greens and mashed tatoes.

We were full to the brim but when the waitress offered a piece of red velvet cake for desert, I simply couldn't turn it down! We will be going back, soon!

Then, just two doors down, we got checked into the play and walked next door for coffee. Mindy and Phil joined us and we chatted. The play began seating so we went inside and were seated by Lindsay (Alex's girlfriend) who was in full character. The theater couldn't have had more than 70 chairs in the entire place. It was very cozy, which made for a very personal show.

The ticket to the play was also the program and the "Accept" "Deny" cards shown below.

It was my first fringe theater play, and Eric and I can't say enough good words about the play or The Satori Group.

We CAN NOT WAIT, to see the next one. They are a phenomenal group of actors and they have such a passion for what they do! I would highly recommend going to their next production. I seriously can't give them enough good press!

Accept or Deny the Artifact... Artifacts of Consequence... ACCEPT.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

8 Years Ago Today...

8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...
