Today was a lovely day.

Cal Anderson Park. Capitol Hill, Seattle.

Hmm, so work. This morning my roommate and I arrived at work about 8am. When we arrived, we went down to the kitchen to look at a map. In the kitchen there's a big map of the U.S. with all of the Yoyo Pros' (people who do what I do) pictures on it, with an arrow pointing to where they work. While chatting, I met my person who books shows for me. She is awesome and originally from N.H.- so knows the lay of the land out east which is awesome. I asked her about some of the places I may go. She's working on booking me shows in VT, in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick- which I am so excited about. All of which I hope I get a chance to see before (or after) it gets unbearably cold. After chatting, we went over some policy/handbook things. When finished with that (10a.m.), we went shopping. Yes, yesterday I colored and today I shopped. And got paid for it. We picked up all of our costuming needs for the show, and also had a stop at Red Robin for lunch. Red Robin was pretty cool- two words- bottomless fries. Yes, they refill your fries as if they were a soda. With a quick fashion show of our costumes back at the office, the day was over. And off to yoga!

Yoga was great. Finding the studio was not great. We got very lost and were 30 minutes late. But we still went into the class, and it was nice. I did my first headstand which was exciting. The first class at this place was also free. I think I'll be returning as soon as possible.

After yoga, my roomie and I took a jaunt into Seattle. By suggestion of a new friend who works in the office, we decided to check out the Cal Anderson Park (pictured above) and the neighborhood surrounding it- it's called Capitol Hill. This was a really cool park. It was filled with art, fountains, reflecting pools, circus performers, kickball and puppies. I loved it. We asked a guy in the park if there were any cool restaurants in the area- he gave us oodles of suggestions, but we decided to go with his first- the Bleu Bistro. His mention of Wasabi Grilled Cheese caught my attention. This was a cool cool joint. It was tiny, and all of the tables were tucked into grottos surrounded by candles, christmas lights, tinsel and funky velvet curtains. The ambiance was awesome, and so was the food. I got the grilled cheese, which came with 3 delicious dipping sauces (wasabi, basil mayo, mango/apricot something) and veggies to put in, on or around your cheese. It also came with a fantastic salad. I highly recommend it if you're in the area. The Bleu Bistro, near Broadway & John. Yum. This was definitely what I was looking for for dinner, and far more successful than our search last night. We may be going into the city a lot more often...

Now with tired eyes I write again. What's in store for tomorrow, who knows?
