Celebrations!

So many birthday celebrations this past week! Woo, it has definitely been a whirlwind. Last Thursday, my co-worker had a birthday party at the Burke Museum where we all went to go look at the new exhibit about food and what people eat. The exhibit was essentially an excerpt from the coffee table book, Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. I do not personally own the book, but I thought the exhibit was pretty informative and interesting. I also liked that the Burke Museum did a 'local history' section-displaying what the native Americans in the Seattle area ate in the past. The museum had a fair amount of artifacts and I enjoyed seeing how broad the diets used to be-we eat a tiny amount of different food items compared to what used to be.

Then last night, I went to Capitol Hill to help my buddy Doug ring in his 24th birthday. That was a good time. We started at this mellow bar called The Chieftain, but ended up most of the night at the Unicorn. We met some interesting people, fed the jukebox to play some good music and had a great time. As I write this, I am still suffering from a mild headache-but it was well worth staying up late. The only sad thing about the night was that I THOUGHT I put ketchup on my Seattle hot dog, but rather, put Siracha (spelling?) sauce on top. My hot dog was so spicy!

Anyways, there really isn't much point to this post. I just wanted to share some of my new purchases from the GAP as well as some of my upcoming buys. Their 'Friends and Family' sale starts March 8, so I get 40% off my entire purchase! Hoping to use that coupon to update my spring wardrobe and get ready for the warmer weather (kind of, this IS Seattle...)

What I just bought:

What I will get at the Friends and Family Sale:

Look really cute cuffed at the bottom to skim above ankle. Would not personally choose to wear those shoes with them. 

I know, I already have things that look like this, but I can never resist a motorcycle looking jacket. :)

Alright, I need to jet because I just took some cinnamon-raisin bread out of the oven. Pictures and update to come soon!
