The dazzling entertainment-ish favorites of, ahem, moi, are as follows -

Sappy/Romantic Movie

I know there are TONS of sappy romantic movies out there, but this one just makes me squeal every time I run across it randomly on TV. What can be better than a super sweet, trench coat wearing, kick boxing, lives with his sister and is named Lloyd Dobler kinda guy?!? Nothing is better I say! And let's just say if Dave stood outside my window blaring Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes I just might have married him sooner. Yup.

Non-Sappy/Romantic Movies

This movie is hilarious! I can watch it over and over again! 'Damn! We're in a tight spot!' Plus the soundtrack is ah-may-zing!




I think I single handedly wore out the copy of this movie at Hollywood Video in Bremerton when I was in high school. Finally, I got it for Christmas (on VHS mind you) sometime during my HS years. And yes, I have it on DVD now, don't worry ;)


Can't Stop Listening To

Everyone who knows me will know this answer. It's too obvious. But still...oh, and there will be more than one, so make yourself comfortable ;) HA!

-Dave Matthews Band

Duh. I have been officially obsessed with this band since sometime circuit 1996/1997. I have seen either Dave solo or Dave and the band 11 times (compared to most Dave Heads this is nothing) and plan on seeing them/him many many more times. It's a sickness, really....

-Jack Johnson

The folk singing king always makes me feel all happy and sappy inside. Sappy memory- saw him in concert in Seattle with my lil sis before he became a huge sensation. No seats, not crowded, just standing around and listening to Jack Johnson. Stef and I got in a fight for some lame teeny bopper reason at this show, but then reconciled a few minutes later. Awww memories ;)

-James Taylor

I grew up listening to JT. I swear almost every song might bring a small tear to my eye if Im in the right mood. He's just the best. And my first ever concert! I went with my little family to see him at the Gorge when I was just a wee little person. My sister might even name her future child Taylor James, in honor ;) Also, the only song that would get Darby to sleep when she was a newborn was Sweet Baby James. Love it.

TV Land

Best show ever! It's soooo old now, and I've seen every episode a ba-jillion (that's right) times, but seriously, Seinfeld is the best. It's on every night at our house at 10pm on The CW (ha). Or it's on any other time of day via DVD. The bloopers are the funniest. Not that there's anything wrong with that. And to think they are reuniting on Curb Your Enthusiasm and I don't have HBO!! Or cable!! Gasp!
Seinfeld will always have my heart, but the two other top favorites in TV land, and that are actually current, are

OH! And don't let me forget my guilty pleasure...



Ok so that tag was fun! I won't tag (aka bug) you this time people...but anyone who wants to post their fav's of the entertainment world can get to it.

Rocky Mountain High

Colorado! Can I just say Colorado is beauuuutiful?! It is. We went for Dave's Grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary celebration. They own a bug chunk of land where their daughter (Dave's Aunt) built a cabin and we all arrived with bells and whistles to celebrate!

Dave's party animal grandparents (Love them!)


Just enjoying the scenery.


Cousins



It was good times had by all! I stink at blogging lately...so it's a little short and a little late...but it will have to do :P Plus, I already uploaded these to Facebook, so I was feeling unmotivated ;)

And We're Staying!

It's official...we're sticking around in Bothell a tad bit longer. Our little condo sat on the market for a lovely 6 months with not one offer - but with plenty of no-show agents, agents running super late, or agents just showing up unannounced! As fun as selling is, I can't say I'm not happy it's over! Bah. So here we stay, in our little 882 sq ft 2 bedroom abode :)
But at least we have covered parking...?!
Plus, I admit, I'm a huge fan of NOT having to use quarters for the wash. I like my own machine that I don't have to share with my neighbors. Nothing against my neighbors, of course ;)
(This pic is during our remodel and pre-cabinets - we had just gotten our W/D and fridge. Let's just say I was a bit stoked)

And at least we have some cute little parks nearby. Some within walking distance (even if mentioned walking distances include sidewalks only about a quarter of the time).

Darby's favorite is Logan Park, I think. It's where she can joyfully run through a big field with flowers like the little girl in her dreams or something ;)

And dare I say, there is nothing wrong with being a 5 minute drive away from here :

And not only for all the fun shopping the Alderwood Mall provides, but also for Darby's favorite water fountains and the super germy kids play area!

All in all, Bothell isn't so bad! And hey - this is the house where this little stinker joined our fam. What's not to love right?! Right!
