In case you haven’t seen or heard, the Space Needle turned 50! To celebrate, the needle has been painted orange (aka Galaxy Gold, its original color during the World’s Fair), and for the next six months, it will play host to lots of fun and exciting events to welcome the next fifty (years). Photo courtesy of Seattle Center, The Next Fifty So don’t worry if you missed out on the $1 trip to the Needle, because who wanted...

Weekend Round Up: 4/20-4/22

Weekend Round Up: 4/20-4/22...

Happy Friday, y’all. I hope you made it through the week with little stress or, at the very least, lots of coffee. It might be cloudy now but I’m seeing forecasts of sun and 70 degrees on Saturday. If that’s not a reason to celebrate then I don’t even know what to tell you. The upcoming weekend looks beautiful and offers a variety of ways to get out of the house and into some fun shenanigans....

Golfin’ in the Streets: $5 Golf Lessons in Downtown

Golfin’ in the Streets: $5 Golf Lessons in D...

I’m not a good golfer, but I’m pretty fun to bring along for a game of putt-putt. If you like a wise-cracking, trash-talking teammate with a general lack of hand-eye coordination, you should really call me next time the mini-golf bug strikes. But if you like to visit actual golf courses, wear polo shirts and can use a ball-washer without giggling like an 11-year-old boy, I won’t be of much help. I can,...

Weekend Roundup: 4/13-4/15

Weekend Roundup: 4/13-4/15...

The sun came out a lot this week, y’all. Did you notice? Were you excited? Also, did you know I grew up in Texas, where we rarely (if ever) celebrated sun sightings? Texas thinks I’m weird now. Seattle just thinks I fit in. This weekend is also rumored to be sunny and lovely, with highs in the low 60s, according to the generous rounding I’m doing based on what my weather app is reporting. So, as always,...

When you’re my age there seems to be either two paths you take. The path where you just stay put at your job, and hope to keep making more or more money (or just hope the rent doesn’t go up). Or you take the other path and go back to school because you realize you’re sick of your current job or said current job just ate you alive or you didn’t even know what you wanted to be in the first place and now you do.

Weekend Round Up: 3/30-4/1

Weekend Round Up: 3/30-4/1...

I wanted to start this post with an awesomely clever prank because April Fool’s is on Sunday and this is the weekend round-up, which includes Sunday, but I was in a battle with this week and it won and my brain is broken. So. Yes. April Fool’s is on Sunday. Pull a prank and then be smug and self-satisfied (which are two of my favorite emotions). Hint: put tape on the kitchen faucet. It’s a Moore family...

Weekend Round Up: 3/23-3/25...

I’d like to talk about the weather. And the weekend. And how it’s going to be sunny and in the upper 50s all weekend long. But talking about all of those things would keep me from lacing up my sneakers and heading out for an afternoon run in today’s lovely sunshine. And as much as I love y’all, the fine and fabulous readers of Yay-Today, I love running in the sun even more. So let’s not distract...

Spring into Moisture Festival

Spring into Moisture Festival...

Right now, I’m looking out my living room window and all I can see are cherry blossoms. Miles and miles of cherry blossoms. Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. There’s really only one blossoming tree right now but still. Cherry blossoms, y’all. That means Spring is really on the way, which means sunnier days, daffodils, and Moisture Festival, the month-long Spring celebration at Hale’s...

Weekend Round-Up 3/9-3/11...

You guys remember yesterday, right? Temps soared (to the low 60s), the sun gave us all a warm hug, and I swear that the little flower buds on the trees doubled in size. It was glorious. And yeah, today we may be back to cloudier skies, but we all feel a little better knowing that spring is coming. (Well, until we all wake up with the crankies after losing up an hour to this weekend’s time change. But whatever.) Even if...
