Tully's Takes on All

Tully's Coffee is a favorite here in Seattle. It is defiantly a favorite of mine as well. Everywhere you go in Washington, if there is not a Starbucks (even if there is) a Tully's is not far away. Recently I read an article that made me love Tully's even more. This wonderful coffee company is the FIRST EVER to serve all of their coffees with three special facts. 1-Tully's coffee is now 100% USDA Organic 2-All of the coffee cups and containers are Recyclable and/or biodegradable 3-All coffee that is bought by Tully's is Free-Trade. That means that the farmers are offered a fair price for their coffee. This is a giant step in changing the way markets work. Three cheers for Tully's!! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to have a second cup :D

The Puyallup Fair!! Wohooo!

I got to go to the FAIR!! The Puyallup Fair to be specific. Jed bought a little package from his work that included ride tickets, admission and food vouchers (which bought more than I thought). We went with another couple Val and Hunter who are super! I had soooo much fun. We got there and parked in some guys driveway for over half of what fair parking was. This was a little odd to me, but everyone within a 1 mile radius seemed to be doing it and it was relatively safe. We started out by looking at all the fair had to offer. One ride was a contraption that sling shot you 150 feet in the air and let you bounce a round for a bit. If the height was not enough, the price sure put it over the edge ($50) for a couple! Seeing the animals was lots of fun. Val and I ogled over the super cute baby bunnies and chicks, while Jed and Hunter made jokes about chicken nuggets and fried bunny...are you surprised :D We then ventured on to food which was much needed at that point. The Elephant Ears were made of 100% whole wheat dough, which made all the difference in the world. Jed had a BBQ Pork burger which was yummy as well. I had grilled corn, which I cannot say has ever tasted better. It was absolutely mouth watering. The rides were to fallow next. If you do not know me, then you do not know I am deathly afraid of heights. I hate heights, we do not get along. Everyone wanted to go on the Ferris Wheel....I was less than excited. I mustard up my courage and went along. Jed was wonderful, although I think I might have temporarily crippled his hand. I really enjoyed the ride, the rocking not so much, but the ride was nice. At the end I was excited to say I had actually done it. We went on a roller coaster and the gravatron after that. I have not laughed so much in a long time. Jed is a wonderful match in the fact that he will never ask me to go on a high ride or make fun of my ridiculous fears :D It was a wonderful time, filled with lots of laughs :D

Brownie Points and Music

So, Jed has officially earned brownie points for the rest of the year :D He bought me tickets to see one of my favorite female artists Colbie Caillet. She is an amazing artists! If you haven't heard of her she is on MySpace and I think has a personal web site as well. Her music is soft, acustic, surfer type songs. Anyways, I missed her last show and Jed promised we could go to her next one. I was so excited to go I started getting ready (which took all of 15 minutes) an hour before. Thank you Anna by the way for becoming my personal fashion input :D After some delicious food at Kells we headed over to get in line. As we start walking to the next spot I realize something...although I look the average age of 18 I stood out a bit. Maybe that's because the average age of this show was about 11-15 all of which were female. Jed suddenly became less excited than he already was. The show started off with a bang by openers....oh crap I've forgotten their name. How horrible of me...Anyways, they were great and if you can recognize them from the pictures more power to you. The opener for Colbie was Tyron Wells. A man obviously recognized by the audience. After my ears stoppeb bleeding from the high shrills of little girls in love, we were able to enjoy some awsome beats. Tyron plays more pop-rock music. He his very funny and quit the story teller. Finally it was on to the main act. Colbie was fabulous. I thought it cute that she said thank you to the applause after each song. She was very sweet and made every girl jealous that they could not wear her dress nearly as good as she could. The show was wonderful! This was an amazing night thanks to a wonderful boy who decided to ignore his ears for an eavenng :D I put some pictures from the show below.

Brownie points kept him going :D
