So this weekend was super busy and went by in a flash! On Friday afternoon, my team hosted a "mix 'n' mingle" BBQ to help us get to know the sales team better. We'll be rolling out our new product soon, so we are hoping to foster good working relationships with sales. I had a lot of fun hanging out and watching people play basketball & volleyball, listening to tunes, and chatting. We had a full spread complete with beer, wine and margaritas! Yum!
Friday evening, my friend Carrie and I headed down to Seattle for dinner and a show. We ate at this neat little restaurant near Pike Place called Matt's on the Market. Definitely some good eats at this little hideaway! Afterwards, we made our way over to the theatre for some improv. It was pretty funny and I'd definitely go again. That's the beauty of improv--a different show everytime.
Saturday morning, B and I went to the Redmond Market and we picked up some delicious blackberries and a beautiful boquet of flowers. Then that afternoon, I took a huge step and finally met my friend Chelsea. See, we met online and have been emailing for a few weeks. She is super funny and we have some similar interests. We decided to finally meet up and opted for a movie. We saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and I loved it! I liked it way more than the original version. Depp was great, but definitely demented in this role. I can only imagine how creepy Chirstopher Walken would've been had he been cast as Willy Wonka instead! After the movie, we wound up hanging out for 3 hours just talking and sharing stories. I really hope that this is the beginning of a good friendship as I had a lot of fun hanging out with her. :)
Finally on Sunday, B, Carrie and I dragged out our costumes and went to the Camlann Medieval Village. We were a little, um, "fashion forward" in our Elizabethian garb as this village was set in the time of King Arthur - about 200 years earlier. It was a gorgeous setting in the woods and the weather was absolutely perfect. This was the first faire where B wasn't totally roasting in his costume. :) The highlight of the festival was taking part in the Feast. Here is

Oh wow was that delicious!! We are seriously thinking about going back for the Yule Feast in December. It was also neat eating period food while in costume. I had to loosen the stays on my corset to make room for all the food!!
So that about wraps up the weekend. And hopefully this blog will see some more regular updates. :)
