The Zebra has a new home!

Hip Hip Hooray, the bright pink Zebra has found a new home and they like it!

I received the below email and photo earlier:

The above picture is the Zebra painting hanging in a little girl's room (what I had envisioned from the beginning :) )

Hot Air Balloons

Just the other night, I was on my way home and I saw some hot air balloons. The sun was setting and I couldn't resist taking some photos.

White Vase

For quite a while, I was in search of a white vase for my table. I came across this one while on a shopping journey to TJ Maxx at the landings.

Later I determined that it was a little to large for my table, but lucky for me, I saw another one that was going to work perfectly in a mailer from IKEA.

Seattle Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon

Back on June 25th (it has been a while since I have posted anything) Penny, Sarah and I completed the Seattle Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon. Sarah ran, finishing under 2 hours, while Penny and I walked, finishing at 4 hours and 41 minutes.

It was a great challenge and an amazing feeling when we crossed the finish line.

Painting and Wine

A while back, a new local business: Palettes and Pairings opened, so of course they offered a living social deal. A few of us purchased and decided it would be a fun "Girls Night Out". When you register on the site, each date has a different theme. While painting you can enjoy a glass of wine and some snacks.

Our theme was Zebras, so I decided to give mine a "little" personality.

A few weeks later (mid-July), I hosted Bunko and was in need of a gag gift that was around my house. You aren't supposed to spend money on this gift, so it needs to be something that you already have. Perfect for the bright pink Zebra painting, that I had no idea what I was going to do with...doesn't match my decor. :) When the painting was opened, I heard stories of where the Zebra might end up. I am sure that it will be given as another gag gift again in the future, if it hasn't already been or if it isn't sitting roadside in the waste bin.

Groupon Deal: M's Game

A while back, I purchased a deal from Groupon: suite tickets and parking for an upcoming Seattle Mariners Game. The deal was reasonably priced, however there was only a handful of games to choose from. The deal included tickets, parking and a $10 food voucher (per ticket) while at the game (which we all know isn't very much). The seats were leather and reclined and the view was good.
