I typically think of my bedroom as the one place in the house that is consistently clutter and stress-free. However, as I assessed the bedroom for this project, I realized it may have gotten a little messy and I just didn’t notice. Time to declutter the bedroom! So much stuff had accumulated on and around […]

Y’all may have gathered that CJ and I recently went to Tokyo and had a simply mah-velous time! While I loved every minute of our trip, Wednesday was definitely the most magical – and it all happened at Ginza. Lunch at Jiro’s That’s right. THE Jiro’s, as in Jiro Dreams of Sushi. It was an […]

The Significance of “Being There” Months ago, CJ announced that his friend scored us tickets to the U2’s The Joshua Tree 2017 concert. And I was so excited…but not for the reasons you might expect. I was never a huge U2 fan. Don’t misunderstand; I always liked the songs from The Joshua Tree. However, during […]

This has been a big month for Good Morning Seattle! My readership is the highest it’s ever been and I’m over the moon about it. By the way, the month isn’t even over! Since I am a game producer by day/stealth blogger by night, I couldn’t stop myself from digging into the metrics of some […]

Seattle, I Love You I am 100% in love with Seattle. It’s a true love. I am aware that Seattle has some flaws, but I passionately love it anyway. Speaking of flaws, let’s talk about how strange this winter/spring has been. Holy cold and rainy, Batman! Yes, yes. We all expect Seattle to be a […]

Happy International Women’s Day! My tiny bit of participation… I chose not to strike today. I absolutely support the movement and salute the women who had the lady balls and fortitude to stand together in this manner, however, I find myself in a situation where taking the day off would really put me behind at […]

Normally I try to avoid talking about politics because there are people I care about who do not share my political views and I never like to hurt feelings or ruffle feathers. But tonight is an exception. Tonight I wanted to write something significant about election day. I wanted to write something conveying how it feels […]
I Solemnly Swear I Am Up To No Good

I dropped off the face of the planet for a little bit because… CJ took me on the BEST DATE EVER. It was a two-day date! He got us passes to watch all eight Harry Potter films in order at a theater. Thornton Place Theater up at Northgate turned it into a pretty awesome event […]
Hope: Turning Shit Into Gold
![](https://goodmorningseattle.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/photo-of-photo.jpg)
This photo hangs in a coffee shop near where I work. The quality of the image is lacking – the lights and the glare were really hard to work with – but you can still get the general gist of what’s going on. There’s one woman in the photo and thirteen men. Of the thirteen […]
