some people are today show freaks. but not me. bravo shows are my drug of choice. i wouldn't spend precious hours in nyc standing outside watching the show. but if the show {specifically the 4th hour with Kathie Lee and Hoda} comes to you and one of your friends is a huge fan and you're a good friend, you go. we woke up at the crack of dawn {barely} and headed down to pike place market to watch the taping. here are my photos from the very early morning!
setting up for the show!
spry aka hoda's #1 fan had her book all ready to be signed. i even held her bag so she could really focus on getting that signature. again with the being a good friend.
we spotted her and ran up to get a photo and the book signed.
success!
she was so sweet! hoda and i were even wearing the same jacket!
i said 'twins!' she said 'j.crew, girl!'
later in the taping i needed to get some photos of the barista challenge for work and we ended up in the perfect spot...to be on camera!
i'm so glad i was smiling and not looking like a creeper. yay!
even though it was a super early morning and i kind of crashed at work later; i'm so happy we went! thanks for coming to seattle, kathie lee and hoda!
in case you missed it:
:: kathie lee's play, saving aimee, is playing in seattle until october 29th.
:: i took a trip to the paris grocery. tres bien!
:: pacific northwest ballet is putting on a show of love stories
:: i made caramel frosted cupcakes and they are my new favorite!
local seattle company dry soda has a new soda flavor - wild lime! dry soda was kind enough to invite me to their launch party to sample the new flavor and it's very tasty!
the new wild lime soda has great lime flavor without being overly sweet. and dry sodas mix perfectly with a little vodka or tequila. i love dry sodas because they have lots of flavor, are all natural and low in calories. keeps your eyes peeled for wild lime or one of the other dry soda flavors at your local grocery store!

:: west elm has arrived in seattle!
:: evo is celebrating their 10th anniversary on 10/21.

if you're still in a summer-experiencing area might i suggest making a peaches 'n cream pie? it's my grandma amy's recipe, i make {more like push it on people} it every year. it's summery, easy and delicious.
happy friday, peaches!
