Random Bits of Nothingness

So not a whole lot has been going on lately but the little that has been going on has been full of random awesomeness! So first off I will tell you of one of the best presents I have ever been given, second really only to getting a pony for christmas one year when my sibs and I were just wee little tikes! Yeah thats right, I was one of those kids that their Daddy spoiled...ok not really, but yeah a pony and you are jealous. But really this present rocks! Billy gave me my very first guitar which just so happens to be a stratocaster! Wee-ooh! Allbeit's no Fender and only a Behringer, still a freakin strat and its mine! Not to mention it is one sexy beast! So that was awesome! Thanks Billy!

A few weeks back I was meandering the Bellevue Square Mall with a friend I pretty much freakin miss all the time, and came across the Martin Lawrence Art Gallery. They were having an auction and within the list of paintings for auction I found my new favorite painting that I totally want! Nevermind that it is going for over $9000...perhaps I can get Painted With Oil to recreate it for me! But yeah I just love the colors and how they flow. The painting is called Transcend and the artist is Deborah Paswaters out of California. All her paintings are pretty amazing including some she did for the 2005-2006 Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness Life in Bloom series. Just beautiful.

So I pretty much have like the most amazing boss in the world! He has been a great friend and support through the "rough patches" in my life....to put it lightly. Very very understanding for which I will forever be greatful! Anyway this last week was Administrative Professionals Day! Yay! Which I hope you all thanked the admin people you work with for all they do cause I know you have no idea how much we do until we aren't there to keep the place running! I know we make it look easy! Anyhow, I had totally forgotten it until in came this gorgeous bouquet of all sorts of flowers just for me! Just a little thanks from the staff. Hehe which half of them didn't even know about! So thanks for all the appreciation and support Joel! So then just to get out for the evening Robyn and I went to The Cheesecake Factory to celebrate! Good night! their food is wicked tasty and the cheesecake! Oh the cheesecake is to die for! We even bought a piece to take home and eat later!

I have also been getting out a bit more thanks to the help of Orit and Matt's friend Jeff. Although from here on out he will be known as Jefe cause that is how he got entered into my phone and I really like it much more. So we went somewhere near north Seattle and saw a few different bands play and a couple places there. First we saw a really poppy punk band by the name of the Cute Leopards. They were pretty good to hear in a local scene but not anyone I would rush back to see again given other choices. The next band we saw was way awesome! They are outta Bellinham and go by the name of Yogoman Burning Band. If you like the music stylings of Sublime and 311 and whatnot you will love these guys! They are excellent musicians and do an amazing job vocally of harmonizing! Not to mention their bass player is a chick with a great set of pipes! So they have her, a guy on guitar, a guy on drums and three more on the sax, the trombone and the trumpet. Yeah I totally am going to buy their cd! Makes me remember how much I loved the local music scene in Arizona and how much I miss the feeling of having your head in a fish bowl when you leave!

And to top it all of yesterday my coworker Richard gave me my Bestest Cd...or so the cd says! Hehe! He has great taste in music so I've been wanting him to make me a mix and he did not let me down! Thanks Richard! I love it! And by far I love that the first line on the first song which is a guy saying "I can ride my bike with no handle bars, no handle bars, no handle bars!" Yeah I don't know, I just love it! The Flobots. Pretty sweet. Yeah and so that concludes my ramblings for the night. I need to go undo the tape job Orit did on my knee cause my body rocks and decided my knees needed to cause me pain this week. Yay...not to mention I hear it can be quite the process to remove Endura Fix and Tape. Removing it too fast can also aide in removing your skin...good times. Have I ever mentioned how much Orit is my hero!?! Yeah she is always fixing me. The best is when my back is killing and she will do Advanced Strain Counter Strain! It's her barely touching me on either side of the spine in certain places that allows the deep muscles to release and hence letting the spine go back into alignment! Amazazing!
