Summer Time Antics (Part Deux)

My friend Kinsey and I usually walk Luigi together at lunchtime, she is the order specialist at Trophy Cupcakes and a good friend. We almost always see something that makes us laugh. Today we saw the above featured giraffe finger puppet on the ground next to this lovely ivy, we both knew what we had to do...

I apologize for not reading/commenting on everyone's blogs, I will return to the blogosphere as soon as possible!

Summer Time Antics

Summer is off to a smashing start! After all those months of grey depression I finally remember why I love Seattle more than anything. Luigi and I are both HUGE fans of all things Noguchi. He is such a big fan he wanted to pose inside of Noguchi's "Black Sun" in Seattle's Volunteer Park!
My god he is photogenic!

Hope Summer is well for all,

We're Having a Heat Wave...

A tropical heat wave, and I love it! So does Luigi!
Heatwaves mean several things to me and Luigi
1. Sunbathing, Luigi gets in more of this than I do.

2. Lolly-gagging is encouraged.
3. I can finally where my bubble-hem super-short sumer dress! Luigi also loves a good bubble hem

4. Melty ice cream sandwiches are in abundance; we shared one with our blogless friend Kate on Saturday.
5. Stoop parties with friends always include BBQ's and city sunsets (Luigi often gets bbqed treats too!)

Ahhh, Summer in the city, it doesn't get much better!
I have been knitting too, a secret for a friend, when I have an fo I will post it. I hope all my friends in blogland are having a great summer, take care, wear your spf, and stay hydrated.

Last Sunday's Fun

I went out to play with horses last Sunday. After not horsing around for a bit it felt great to get out there, of course I was sore for like three days after.
I also brought Luigi with me, he was most well behaved even when Sadie wanted to smooch him!
Here is Sadie, Lori (Sadie's Mom), Luigi and I...

And here is Sadie, me and Luigi, ahh a great day at the barn...

Have a great weekend friends!
cheers,

Tuesday Funny

So in case you didn't know, it is My Little Pony's 25th Birthday this year! I was just...looking around on their website (you know, for fun)...when I stumbled upon this little cutie above.

The best part about this pony...it's name: "MY LITTLE PONY BUTTERFLY ISLAND SUNNY SCENT PINEAPPLE PARADISE Pony". Can you believe that? Is that the longest my little pony name or what? It cracked me up.

F.O!

You may remember I started this forever and a day ago, and today I finished it! Woo hoo! I love it, and will definitely wear it a bunch this summer. The pattern is by Jo Sharp, with Jo Sharp yarn...Fun!

Thanks for all your comments on my non-knitting adventures, and I am glad you all are enjoying the funny racing pics!
cheers,

Time Trial

This weekend was another Time Trial. This time there were two huge hills one was a 10% grade for a mile!!! Yikes
Good news, I didn't feel like barfing this time. Bad news, I went off course less than a mile into the race, and as soon as I realized, had to turn around and get back in the game, but I still came in 15th overall the girls! It was pouring rain the whole race, but I think that may have made me ride faster, with the promise of a hot shower at the end! Here is a shot taken just before the finish line...
hope everyone had a great weekend,
cheers,
S.
