Happy memorial day weekend! Im sure many of you have lots of fun things planed for this weekend. Here in seattle there’s TONS of things to do this weekend. You can go to any of the numerous beaches in the area or you could go to folklife. I shall be spending the weekend rock climbing and chilling waterside. However, today I’ll be spending a few hours at folklife with some of my friends. For those of you who don’t know what folklife is its a festival that happens every year at the seattle center over memorial day weekend. Oh and, its free so if you want some free fun and your in the seattle area you should head down to the seattle center and check it out!

picturesque Seattle metro ride
So this morning I decided to live by one of my favorite Twin Peaks quotes,
“once a day, every day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t expect it, just let it happen”
Spoke by Special Agent Dale Cooper. So this morning I was trying to catch the early bus to school but I failed to leave early enough to do so. I ended up taking a different bus that left sometime between the busses I typically take. I realized that I rather love this bus. It makes me feel important for the bus is filled with all sorts of people going to their jobs. I do believe that I will take this bus more often. If not for all that but for the picturesque Seattle views I come across while riding this bus!
P.s. This weekend its acctualy supposed to be nice in Seattle!

HIPSTERISH SEATTLE
So I haven’t posted in a while and im sorry if that has caused you to be upset. Im not going to lie, I haven’t got any excuse for my lack of posting… But hey, im posting now aren’t I? Well, i have gotten a few sunburns since i last posted and no, i haven’t left Seattle. Spring really IS here thank goodness! I’ve missed it! I talk far too much about weather so today i will talk about something having to do with Seattle that ISN’T weather related! So, im not sure if any of you know this but Seattle is officially the most hipster city in the U.S.! Now i know many people really don’t like hipsters or at least they say they don’t like hipsters. I think that half the people that say that are in denial. Hipsters really aren’t that bad! So, if you go to seattle or any other hipsterish place then i would encourage you to play this game i came up with. Its called hipster count, pretty self explanatory you count hipsters. Well, now that I’ve supplied you with my ramblings once again have a good day! Happy hipster counting! - CC Dawn
Finally Feeling Spring
I woke up this morning and looked out side and was meet with clear sky’s and frost covering all the laws and roof tops. By the time I left for the bus the frost was already melting and turning into water droplets that stuck to the blades of grass reflecting the light from the sun making it look as though the glitter was sprinkled over everything! I just couldn’t help but feel happy and smile! It hardly seemed cold at all, I was very grateful for this! Today i could finally wear my spring skirt that i had worn all winter. We didn’t get any snow this week, it seems like Seattle is being embraced by springs warm grasp. Go out and enjoy the lovely weather today all you Seattleites!

Grass Stains
Yesterday as i was running to my bus stop I slipped on the grass and got my first grass stain of the year! Today I managed to slip in the grass yet again, today however was slightly different due to the fact that today I was in heels (yesterdays shoe of choice was Converse) thankfully do believe that I haven’t sustained any ankle injury’s! In my opinion grass stains represent spring. Seattle has managed to have far too long of a winter and i am more than happy to be sporting springs hottest new accessory; a grass stain. In just a few months those grass stains on the jeans shall turn in to the green grass stained knees of early summer and late spring! Come on Seattle, I’m done with the snow (Seattle got small amounts of it on Tuesday weather forecast are now hinting at the chance of some Sunday) and ready for the warmth and sun!
Happy almost spring!:)

Great Souls Never Die
This past week has been so crazy… I’m sure many of you reading this have heard about the avalanche that took the life of three amazing people. Thousands of people im sure have been affected by the loss of those three wonderful people. I was, and still am, fortunate to have been able to call Jim Jack my uncle. He was an amazing person, he touched the sole of many people. He was and still is loved by many. On Sunday in Leavenworth there was a celebration of his life. It was full of hugs, laughter, smiles and tears. The turn out was incredible! Somewhere around 1,000 people had to have been there. The most amazing things is that there where many many more people that loved him but had been unable to make it to Leavenworth. My heart and thoughts go out to all those that lost someone in the avalanche at Stevens as well as the fatal avalanche at alpental.
I love you Jimmy and I miss you! R.I.P. Jimmy!

seattle dilemma
I’m sure no one wants to hear about my crazy unfortunate morning so I shan’t tell you about it. Least not in the way people think I would. You see, I’ve had quite the dilemma. Today is just as it seems to always be, a thin covering of fog lay across the hills of Seattle, the rain was spitting in out faces much like it usually does. Now that I’ve familiarized you as to the current weather I will bestow upon you my dilemma; to wear rain boots today, or not to wear rain boots today, that is the question. In the end I went ahead and slipped my bogs on over my chords and a pair of fuzzy socks. You never know what Seattle will bring, even if the rain clears away and the sun makes an appearance I will be able to jump in the puddles lining the streets and not have to worry about a thing!:)
Cheers,

our Reward
The gorgeous weather that i was rambling about just 8 days prior has been replaced with the gray and rain typical to Seattle… I can’t say i missed the rain… but i also can’t say i miss the sun. The thing that most people i feel don’t quite realize is that if it wasn’t for the rain Seattle wouldn’t be as green as it is. On the conrary, Seattle doesn’t get nearly as much rain as people seem to think we do. I mean, the rain stops at times and is replaced by the lovely gray sky’s. All in all i have come to peace with this weather and the reality of Seattle weather and have realized that the rain and gray makes the sun and warmth that much sweeter when it does finally grace the vast coastal city that we call Seattle
cheers,
CC Dawn
p.s. sorry I didn’t post this yesterday, I typically post things from my phone but i was unable to do so due to some technical difficulty’s regarding copy pasting things from Word to tumblr….
