My new find.

Look what I found at the store! Do you know how handy this is for the cooking-challenged? I cooked my very first fried egg after 35 years of living on this planet... and I didn't even screw it up.

Wow.

Christmastime at Pike's Place Market

Down by the waterfront, baby. Way different than a Utah Christmas, that's for sure!

I always wondered if these hideous looking fish actually sell... and who buys them. And do they really EAT them?

Eesh.

Check it out! Today I discovered they're painting the side of the building the apartment is in. It was pretty nasty before. Spiffy now, eh?

On the flipside of this parking lot (imagine behind me as I was snapping the picture) is the Greyhound Bus terminal. I walk by all the busses in the morning that are loading up people to travel all over the country when I am on my way to my car. :)

Seattle or New York City?

Downtown Seattle at Christmas feels and looks more like New York City, I swear. Look at the sea of people!

The guy holding the Jesus sign was yelling at everyone telling them that they were all going to Hell. He didn't tell ME that, though! Heh heh.

Oh, and the tall building right in the middle of the picture is Macy's.

Cat bag from Schimmy


Cat bag from Schimmy
Originally uploaded by kenniecat.
This was a handmade birthday gift I received from a gal I've been working with for a year now, but have never met in person. She works at our vendor site in Oklahoma City and she's always been the sweetest to me over the phone. She knew I was a cat lover and put together this adorable little handbag for me with my name on it and everything! The inside is lined with material with paw prints all over it. I've already had multiple compliments on the shuttle I ride everyday.

I am not really a purse person, so I've turned it into a little lunch tote. She even put a little pocket inside that I put money in to buy my ice waters every morning. The bag is just damn cute overall.

THANKS SCHIMMY!!!

PS... And I finally did get to met her in person (!!) the other day when she was out here for a training. :)

Oh well.

Jim and I went out for drinks at Temple Billiards for a little birthday celebrating. Thirty-freakin'-five years old, people.

For a gift, Jim is treating me to a spa treatment; a facial and also a pedicure! Suh-weeeeet.

Newark, NJ
Originally uploaded by kenniecat.
This was the view from our hotel window in Newark, NJ the last night of our trip. It poured rain the first night we arrived, and also the last night before we departed. (We mostly only got drizzle in New York City.)

The traffic was so insane at rush hour, a cop finally had to direct traffic in the intersection down below our window. And in this picture... the traffic isn't even BAD yet!

If I lived there I would never own a car. People are insane on the streets.

Here's the red carpet we got to make our entrance on. That is Jim's agent Ann Rittenberg on the left there... and we had to stop for a minute while Jim got his picture taken by the photographer(s) in the background.

One of the more surreal moments in my life!

Ground Zero


Ground Zero
Originally uploaded by kenniecat.
This is where 9/11 happened. I think this was more of an information center rather than a memorial. It was right in front and behind those fences is where the towers were. It's basically just a big hole right now. It was hard to actually get pictures of, being ground level and all.

Surrounding buildings

It was interesting to see the damage done to the surrounding buildings. Kinda gives you a sense of what occurred...

Jim's looking towards WTC site...

I turned around to snap a picture of the buildings near the World Trade Center and accidentally caught Jim's reaction to the whole experience. I didn't even realize it till I looked at all the pictures I had taken later that night. It was pretty overwhelming to him.

This was our entire room at the Chelsea Inn in New York City. All this for $205 a night! And if you think it looks like a bed in a closet... you should see the bathroom.

We were so clausterphobic by the time we left.

More dressed up than our wedding!

I'll be putting up more pictures from our trip to NYC and the Quill Awards probably tomorrow... but I at least wanted to get something up for now. :)

I'm sorry to say we didn't get a full stand-up picture of us side by side... but you get the idea from this picture of how we looked.

And if I don't say so myself... we looked HOT! (For us, at least.)

Hee hee.

Oh, and this was at a trendy NYC bar around midnight after the awards with Jim's agent, Ann Rittenberg (the picture taker). See those martinis? Twelve bucks each, baby!

Originally uploaded by kenniecat.
We finally did it! After weeks of procrastinating... we finally got good weather and went ahead with the garage sale. This is the afternoon of Day One... and most of the good stuff was sold early that morning. We never did sell the big green couch.

Anyone need a cheap used couch? I think at this point we'll PAY YOU to take it. :)

EVERYTHING MUST GO!


Welcome! You break? YOU BUY!, originally uploaded by kenniecat.

This was Day Two and things were starting to dwindle down.

Ted was a fan of mycathatesyou.com... and sent Jim an email saying, "Would you like to write a book?"

'Nuff said.

Thank you, Ted.

Picture Jim's flight finally arriving SEA. Sitting near him is a family from New Jersey, and the little kid behind him was all excited to visit our emarald city... until he saw it from his window. He then yelled: "DAD! Look how shrimpy it is! Seattle is a shrimpy little city!"

How I would love to show this kid Salt Lake City. :)
