Long Lost Seattle pics

So, by scrolling down I just realized that I never posted pictures from my trip, so here they are. After enjoying these, scroll on down and look pics in my Christmas post :) And it's almost officially Christmas, so Merry Christmas to you all!! :)



Here's my swanky hotel room

The view of the Sound from my window


Another view from the window- of the Space Needle


The famous Pike's Place market


The fish throwers at Pike's Place


The very first Starbucks ever (it's tiny)


Eating breakfast with Nick at the CUTEST Italian place ever- Serafina

The Experience Music Project building- unfortunately this picture is as entertaining as anything we saw inside

Happy Holidays

So, the last time we had a post was Thanksgiving, so I thought it was only appropriate for me to post about Christmas. I just love Christmas. Lists are easy and organized so I'm going to make a list of why I love Christmas this year.

1. I haven't been home since July, so it's good to be back
2. There was tons of SNOW! Woohoo.
3. There's nothing to do in Ottumwa so I get to just sit around
4. I stopped in Peoria on the way home and got to see Erin!
5. I got a new digital camera to replace my one that quit working this summer. Now I can have my own pics again!
6. That's all for now.

Now, let me tell you one thing that I don't like about this Christmas. When I stopped in Peoria on the way home, someone HIT MY CAR. Yes yes, this is the car that I got 2 weeks ago, that is the car I'm talking about. Hank. And, to put the little cherry on top of the situation, I called my insurance and me (being the smarty that I am) I had chosen a $1000 deductible instead of $500 or $250. Awesommmmmmme :) But, it's just a car. I'm just annoyed. C'est la vie.

Normally when I come back to Ottumwa, I feel like nothing has changed since I was here last. This time, however, is different. There is something very different than last time I was here. I have 2 cats, Cleo and Mugsy. Cleo is normally the big fluffy fat cat. But, she is now 15 and apparently that means she's the mangiest, ugliest cat ever. She has bad teeth apparently and sort of quit eating, so she lots tons of weight and looks completely sickly. She also had some skin issue and pulled all her fur out. It's regrowing now but that poor cat will never look the same. So, because I got a new camera for Christmas, I am putting up 2 pictures. One is my presh parents. The other is my mangy mangy cat. Enjoy. Happy Holidays to all!! I hope that everyone travelled safely and is enjoying family time!!

love
kat
