What did you do this weekend?
Friday:
I thought I could walk from Downtown to Online Coffee Company on 14th and Pine (because I forgot my ID there on Thursday after using the Internet for about 5 minutes). Of course, the second I started walking the rain started pouring. With every passing street, I kept telling myself I should buy an umbrella, but decided that I already have 3 at home that I never use and suffered through the cool, wet rain. I got my ID and took a bus back home then decided I just could not go back outside, so I watched Air Guitar Nation instead.
Saturday:
Took a yoga class at what is now my all time favorite gym. What with a steam room and the fanciest gym showers I’ve ever used, I think All-Star Fitness in Downtown knows what they’re doing. Golds Gym in Cap Hill and Pro-Robics in Queen Anne, take note. You’re nothing compared to this gem.
Had a smoothie at my favorite smoothie place, Shy Giant in Pike Place Market.
Met the boyfriend for a slightly successful shopping trip (for him). That means one pair of pants at the Gap. I mentioned the new H&M, but after trying 10 pairs on we were both too exhausted to look at anything courdoroy or cargo for at least another month.
Looked at the Live Historic 2 bedroom condos in lower Queen Anne. While very pretty and umm historic, it was too small at about 800 square feet (especially the bedrooms) for the crazy asking price of $435,000 (not including the $325 monthly condo fees). I thought this was a good time to buy? So why does this place seem totally ridiculously high? Is it the fancy claw foot tub that does it for people? Obviously not too many people are interested, as they still have 17 units available that they’ve been trying to push for quite some time. Owners of condos take note, stop building or start lowering your prices.
Like Zee, we also went to the Tea Festival hoping for good things but not expecting too much. We were pleasantly surprised, drank lots of good and not so good tea, ate very delightful cookies and left feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
Walked around Ballard to see the crowds at Reverb. No sounds were begging me to go inside and check out their band, so we went back home to search Redfin and balk at Historic Live’s still ridiculous prices.
Sunday:
Finally hiked to the top of Rattlesnake Ridge. I only wish when I get to the top of these ridges, mountains and what have yous that there’s a guide or map telling me what I’m looking at. I’m pretty sure I was seeing Mount Si across from me, but really I have no clue.
Hopped down the Ridge so I could eat cherry pie for lunch at Twede’s Cafe (of Twin Peaks fame).
And that’s it. So, what the hell did you do?
