Get ready for the cutest little thing you've ever seen EVER.

The most adorable booboo you've ever seen and she's in Seattle, at the Woodland Park Zoo. Now I want to go see her. Actually, I just want her. Givehertomenow!

In other news, I went to the gym! There's a gym that's equidistant from the house and my work (about a ten minute walk) and when I was walking past the other week, they gave me a free 2-week pass. So I made Nate go down and get a pass too, so we can go together. It's relatively cheap for the monthly fees, but there are "joining fees" so we're trying to see if we can get those waived/sorted out so we can either not pay them or fit them into our limited budget. We'll see.

The gym itself is really cool. It's in a super-old building that was a bank from 1917 to 1981, and the door leading into the locker rooms is the huge bank vault. Also, they have a hot tub w/ a waterfall, steam room, sauna...tanning beds (not that I use those) and lots of machines. Plus, they aren't crowded on the weekends because they're downtown, so a lot of their patronage is only there during the work-week. We went at lunch today and there were plenty of machines open, which is awesome. They have a limited class schedule, but I'm ok with not necessarily going to classes and just hanging out in on the hot tub treadmill or elliptical. I think we get a couple personal trainer sessions for free with our membership, too. Exciting! My plan is to go during lunch and run/walk/jog/crawl for half an hour because -- let's face it -- 30 minutes is better than nothing. I'm blessed not to sweat very much, so I can get away with just changing and some deoderant, but I'll probably get some facial cleanser wipes just to get the band of perspiration around my hairline all squared away.

In anycase, I am one thirsty mofo. But I need to pace myself, cause I can only fit so much water in my belly at once before I start feeling like a water balloon.

Lastly, my booboo made me this awesome signature that will (eventually and hopefully) one day tie into a theme that he will make for me. But that's a story for another day. Check it out!
