The Best Things in Life Are Free

I (finally) have my own desk! In my favorite corner of our apartment. I can see the space needle right now from the window. Last night, Owen found the desk shivering on a sidewalk in Georgetown with a free sign taped to its side. He sent me a picture of it to see I wanted it. I saw it and immediately knew it was my desk. So we adopted it.

Paint brush power!

All this junk used to live on our kitchen table.

Now the plants have room to breath and we have a place to eat.

Dinner at Palisade

Owen's parents gave us a buy one - get one coupon to use at a list of fantastic Seattle restaurants. We decided on Palisade, and so I took Owen out on a date.

We got dressed up and took funny pictures


We dined next to a starfish

We both got seafood stuffed with other seafood (Stuffed Scallops and Stuffed Tiger Prawns). I almost got the live Maine lobster. I was glad I didn't when I saw them pull a live lobster out of the saltwater pool right next to our table. The table next to us had ordered the lobster. It was like watching the circle of life at Palisade. One minute that lobster was enjoying his life in the saltwater ... the next he was served up with sherry just a few feet from his home.

The food was delicious - we finished off dinner with the creme brulee sampler. It was great date.
