Day 184 is on a boat
Day 184 has a lot going on
I have my 301 class improv show in a few hours and I needed to get a few things straightened out for work beforehand. Also, some of my wonderful friends are coming to see my show, so I wanted to make sure I know what's going on in Philly the next two days for their stay. I'm nervous, anxious, excited and happy, which translates into a frantic Katie.

Day 183, don't become a robot
I saw this wonderful sticker in the ladies room while I was out at dinner tonight. "Don't become a robot." Brilliant. What a great motto. Please excuse the bright yet blurriness of this photo, as I felt like a weirdo taking out my camera in the stall. I couldn't pass up this photo op.
Day 183 goes exploring

Day 182 settles in
Ps. I know the pic in my previous post isn't working yet, I'll fix it as soon as I get to a computer. I hope this pic works!! Blogging from a phone is hard.
Day 182, go fly a kite
I got out of work super early today for the holiday weekend - 1pm to be exact. So, my mom and I decided to take a quick trip to the shore! We went to Asbury Park, as she was jealous of my recent visit with Emily. I feel very lucky to live close enough for this to be an option. As you can see, the weather was perfect. Considering it's a holiday weekend, the beach was really empty. There were a few kids flying kites - adorable. I love seeing kids playing with old school toys as opposed to video games and iPods. I kind of wanted to join them. Except for the creep factor.

Day 181 says hello!
Oh hey, Chicago! This post is late because we don't have the internets yet in our new place. But we're working on it. I got into the city late last night and after some birthday dessert with my new roomie, it was off to bed. Traveling is exhausting! Another post for today coming later tonight!
Day 181 just wants to go to sleep
I had a weird last couple days and want desperately to go to sleep. Then I realized I hadn't taken a photo today. With my last ounce of energy I took a picture of this crumpled up pile of pillows. If this turns out to be my worst/laziest photo during the 365, then so be it.

Day 180 says farewell
I had a great day last day in Seattle. My sister took off work and we spent our day hitting some of our favorite Seattle spots and enjoying the sunshine. Then I got to say goodbye to some very dear Seattle friends over bowling and drinks and crazy delicious fries. Such a good day. It's all very bittersweet. Starting tomorrow I'll be kicking off a new adventure in a new town... wish me luck! Here I come, Chicago...
Day 180 deserves a midnight snack
Without getting into details, I'll say that I had a long, weird and amusing day. In order to catch up on some work before going to bed, I thought I deserved some motivation in the form of a late night snack. M&Ms and Diet Dr. Pepper? Yes please!

A little of this, a little of that on Day 179
I'm a bit behind on my traditional rereading of the HP series before a movie comes out. I'm only halfway into book 3 with just about 2 weeks left! Eeek! But I made sure to schedule in some reading time today, even with all the little errands and things I have to do before I check out of Seattle. Changing addresses, canceling gym memberships, finish packing.... ya know, the little things. (Yeah you read that right, I'm not done packing yet. I'm working on it!).
ps. On an unrelated note. Please get yourselves to a theater and see Super 8 if you haven't already. I have a deep, dark fear of scary movies but this one was worth it.
Day 179 is sweet
These strawberry candies are one of my favorite types of hard candy. They are the ones with a little bit of a chewy center. Well, my mom bought me a whole bag of them - what a doll! The wrappers look semi-natural so they almost trick me into thinking they are healthy. But I know better. But I will still enjoy them.

Day 178 LOVES this stuff.
Oh hey there delicious scoop of blueberry ice cream, how YOU doin?? I've honestly never had blueberry ice cream before tonight. I've been on a strawberry ice cream kick since last summer after my nana took me to this farm in MA where they had cows in the fields in front of you, strawberry fields behind you and an ice cream counter right in the middle. So ya know... it was pretty fresh ice cream. And the "kids size" was, no joke, 3 whole scoops of ice cream in a waffle cone. Ridic. But tonight - I got wild and changed it up a bit. And my big gamble was worth it, for the blueberry exceeded my expectations. As you can see I'm taking this "it's officially summer" thing very seriously. Summer is when my I let my ice cream freak flag fly. I hope you all are doing the same.
Day 178, work it.
Last week I joined a gym, Retro Fitness. It's new, so it's really clean and surprisingly not too crowded. Plus they have a movie theater with exercise machines. Yesterday Kindergarten Cop was the advertised movie, but The Mask was playing instead. I nearly asked for a refund. Despite being out of shape, I'm feeling really good about easing back into regular exercise. Today was day four of working out. My friend and I were doing ab exercises and for a brief moment I felt like I was going to vomit - Biggest Loser style. But I was fine. I'm not that out of shape. Oh yeah, here I am stretching while lacing up my sneaks.

Day 177 stopped to smell the flowers
Move 1 of 2 = finished. FINISHED! Moving the sis into the new place was like the long, long marathon that never ended. The place still has a few boxes here and there that don't have a home just yet, but I just could really care less about those right now. Right now I'm all about resting up before I have to do this all over again with my stuff in Chicago in 4 days. 4 days!! That's the countdown for days left in Seattle. Yikes, where has the time gone?!
Here's a snap of the little flower decor we set up in the living room of her new apartment. It's the little touches that help make it feel like home, ya know?
Day 177 is twisted
I bought this shirt today at Old Navy. I love clothes with interesting patterns, textures and prints. Not sure what these twisty looking loops are, but I like them. Plus, yellow can be such a fun color. I just might have to model it tomorrow!

Day 176 is a minimalist
So this is what I'll be living out of for the next week until I get to Chicago and am reunited with my belongings. Aren't you so jealous that you too don't get to live out of a suitcase for six days? I'm pretty surprised a week's worth of life fit in here, to be honest. I'm sure I forgot some things, but it's a bit too late for that now. Tonight is our last night in this apartment. Sadness. But new adventures await! Onward!
Day 176 in Asbury Park
This morning my friend Emily met me at Asbury Park. We relaxed on the beach for hours. It was amazing. The weather was beautiful and the water felt great. Plus we had the good fortune of missing the rain! Although, I now have the most splotchy sunburn I think I've ever had. Yikes. After lounging in the sun we drove over to Avon to buy baked goods from The Macaroon Shop. Yes, we literally went out of our way for their treats - and it was worth it. On our way back we stopped to check out a "Strawberry Festival" that turned out to be some weird church revival type thing. It felt like an alternate universe. But we made it out alive and back to Asbury Park to have dinner at the restaurant to the immediate left of the flag. I thought this rainbow flag was appropriate, given the recent ruling in New York! So, now I'm home, sunburnt, tired and ready for another beach day!
