15 Dec Come shop the Square tomorrow!

I don’t have anything much to post today, so I’ll give you a few reminders:

Reminder 1: My posting will become more sparse as Christmas gets closer [sorry].

Reminder 2: I will not post at all from the 21st – 27th as I am partying in my home-country of Pennsylvania! [where we will have snow that puts yours to shame]

Reminder 3: The Deck the Balls auction is happening now. Make sure you stop by Tats, Delicatus, or Built Burger before close of business tomorrow to bid on an ornament.

Reminder 4: If you shop in Pioneer Square (participating merchants) tomorrow evening and spend at least $25, you’re eligible for tons of prizes, including an iPad! Did I mention you can also get a free photo with Santa?

Reminder 5: Lock your car during Holiday shopping + don’t leave anything valuable that people will want to steal. Have I mentioned my car was broken into during the summertime? At Laurelhurst Community Center? Don’t assume there are “safe areas” where it’s ok to leave things in your car (locked or not)

Reminder 6: There are lots of exercise spots in Pioneer Square to help you not gain 15 pounds during the holiday break (Seattle Fitness + Exercise Space are two that I know)

My OCD-side was hoping I could stretch this to 10 reminders, but ran out, so you’ll have to make do with 6.

On a sidenote: I try to not post many things that are personal on this blog, but to continue with my post of reminders and irrelevant information, you should all know that I totally missed celebrating The New Pioneer Square‘s one year anniversary [three months ago]. Pretty lame, right?

Even though I thought it should be acknowledged, by the time I was one month late, I was too embarrassed to say anything. Apparently at three months, the embarrassment fades. And I figured this was the best place to put it (since many of you probably stopped reading after I made fun of your snow).

So:

New Years Resolution #1: Write better posts

New Years Resolution #2: Feature more businesses

New Years Resolution #3: Keep #1 + #2. And also lose 15 pounds.

And since I sometimes feel like I’m writing this to myself, and wish I had even more interaction with the residents of this neighborhood, here’s a resolution for some of you:

Your New Years Resolution #1: Comment more. Or at least email me with info or businesses you’d like featured. Or join the promotions committee and help us plan fun events for the neighborhood. Or just email me your cool ideas and lets collaborate to see if we can make it happen.

The rest of you are pretty good at sending me info, and it is always much appreciated!
