In May, I was able to explore Seattle and enjoy life in the following ways:
I walked up the water tower at Volunteer Park to enjoy the view (after catching my breath – so many stairs!)
Experienced the awesome Chiho Aoshima: Rebirth of the World exhibition at the Asian Art Museum. I loved this show so much and am definitely going back.

Stopped smell the flowers at the Volunteer Park Conservatory
Introduced Morgan to my favorite dumpling place, Din Tai Fung in University Village. Their green beans are awesome.
Sang out with friends at Kate’s karaoke birthday party at Rock Box.
Hit up Smash Putt for a second time (wacky mini-golf! I think the Foosball one was my favorite)
Got a gold star from my dentist for brushing – no cavities! (If you’re looking for an awesome dentist, check out Dr. Sebek and tell her Keridwyn sent you.)
Watched “Far from the Madding Crowd” with some friends at Pacific Place. If you like Downton Abbey, you’ll probably enjoy this film.
Met Juvi’s new cat Niko. Meow.
Was unimpressed with dinner at Mamnoon – love getting mana’eesh za’atar to go at lunch but won’t be back there for dinner again. Bummer.
Enjoyed spam musubi and coconut shave ice from Marination ma kai with B, Paul and Erin after a short visit to Alki beach.
Supported Opulent Temple by attending the White Party fundraiser.
Celebrated my mom and sister in law for Mother’s Day.
Saw Jasper in Deadland at The 5th Avenue Theatre. I loved so many moments of this show – it has true potential but there were a few numbers and bits I think need cutting or adjusting before it really takes off.
Modeled for a photo shoot for Goodwill and City Arts. (I’ll share when it’s out!)
Took Brandon on a surprise date to see Janeane Garofalo, who is awesome live!
Celebrated my friends Jon and Melissa’s wedding.
Decided bikinis shouldn’t be just for the skinny minnies and bought myself a two piece.
Created a character, “Celeste Giobadi,” at a Space themed costume party.
Was unimpressed by Serious Pie on Capitol Hill. Did they change their crust recipe? Where did the salt go?
Left Neglected. From the author of Still Alice. Loved it!
Big Little Lies – decent beach read
Shows I enjoyed:
The Jinx. So addicting and well done.
