While I'm not doing acupuncture for allergies I do have friends that do and they swear by it. My work with Kathleen has been to deal with a major tear and sprain of my back and right leg muscles. She's been wonderful to work with and I just saw her again today. I've been seeing her about 3 or 4 months now. Not only is the acupuncture helpful she is well versed in Chinese herbs and other forms of treatment (we've done cupping and small bits of massage on damaged tissues). She is also a really easy person to be around and to talk to - I really like her!
She's also very giving in many ways. A few weeks ago I told her about my work with FEAR Project and she donated 3 sessions to our silent auction. Plus, I've been working like crazy and on top of it I'm planning the aforementioned fundraiser right now. Today I showed up frazzled and completely in an emotional ball from lack of sleep and stress. She was able to help me focus and by the time I was done with my shortened session (I was late) I felt relaxed and much more grounded. This really helped me get through the rest of the day in a way that was more focused and more fun. Kathleen is a wonderful human being and a great professional as well. She mentioned recently that she's adding counseling to her repertoire soon as well. Heck, I already feel like I get that from her at times.
Kathleen's business is split into two locations. She works out of the Washington Athletic Club (WAC) which is where I met her but she also has a location by Greenlake. Oddly enough it's right by our pet's veterinarian office behind Spuds.

Laurie Lonsdorf has been doing my marketing for a couple of years now. She was doing it freelance full time but has recently taken a corporate job but she will still do some side work. Perhaps you'd be the kind of client she could take on at her new place? I'd ask her if I were you. I've been thrilled working with her and also coordinating the marketing she provides with our web design and graphics people at Acadia Creative. Ali Goodwin and her assistant, Heather Bolesh, are great. For examples of their work check out my website at http://www.TeamReba.com

I've been planning a fundraiser for a non-profit on whose board I volunteer and Abbey Party Rents has been helping us out. Working with me was Emily at the North Seattle location and she was very helpful. She walked me through all the things we were going to need and let me know about the non-profit discount that they offer.
Many of the items you'll need will be available and there is a great drop off and pick up service that can help you save time.

This lovely review from Lunarre Omura somehow doesn't show as the first review written for Team Reba. I do want to say "thanks!" to Lunarre for the kind words.

Check out Calypso - I don't know if they are open today but you could call and find out. Here is a previous review of it and I'm adding one too.

This place is a neighborhood favorite and can often be hard to get into.
It's been a little while since I've had dinner here but I have it on my list for "must return" as it is excellent food. We had a pork dish and a Jamaican jerk chicken when we went last time and it was DE-LISH! Fried plantains are frequent sidedishes and I'm a fan of these too. Enjoy!

I randomly took a couple of friends to this restaurant last weekend (late August 2006) as we were returning from a couple of hours at the Magnuson Dog Park. We originally had been on our way to one of my other favorite Thai joints, Royal Palm, in the Roosevelt district.
Bai Pai is located near the corner of 25th Ave NE and is on NE 65th St at the ground floor of a mixed use building. I have to say that once we walked in I was very impressed by the thoughfully designed interior. It was a weekend at late lunchtime and we were greeted with a friendly smile.
All of us ended up ordering combinations from the lunch menu and we were all very pleased with the results. I had the mixed vegetables with tofu and brown rice and since I was trying to cut down on fried foods I asked them to replace the spring rolls that came with it and changed it to phad thai. A very good decision.
My counterparts also both had phad thai with their combos but one had green curry as her other dish and her husband had satay. All tasty and satisfying all around. The hubby had a couple of Mac & Jacks while we ladies had the Thai Iced Tea - YUM!
We'd come here again in a heart beat. I understand that on weekends they have music too and I plan to come back some time soon to check it out.

I'm a big fan of the Barking Dog having been coming here semi-frequently since they first opened up. Last weekend I ventured in with one of my real estate clients after a long morning of house, townhome and condo viewings. We both ended up with the Vietnamese sandwich - mine with tofu and hers with the chicken option. Tasty! I recommend it although the bread was a bit different (more chewy) than I anticipated. The sauce was flavorful but not overwhelming and they put the jalapenos on the side (thank goodness!). The waffle fries that come with the sandwiches (you also have a choice of salad or soup) were so good we had to stop ourselves from continuing to eat them so we could focus on our sandwiches.
The sandwiches here are big enough of a portion size that we could have shared but since we got different types I took my other half home and enjoyed it later as a lunch the next day. It was all still good to me the second time around.

Okay, perhaps that's a tacky title line but we love shopping in the summertime for great French rose' wine deals at Ballard Market. Rose' is wonderful with BBQ and summertime is perfect for a wine like this that has some body but is chilled for warm days and nights.
The rest of the year you'll find other great wine deals here too and the produce section is generally good. For the Ballard area this is the place to go for cheese too. Hmmm... do you think that was intentional with the wine department?
The meat department here is small but good and when we aren't going for staple items (why we shop at Safeway) then we go for specialty items at Ballard Market. It's sister store up north, Central Market, is like this shop but on steroids and it gives Whole Foods a run for their money.

If you haven't been to Central Market on North 99 then you're missing out. This place has an incredible meat department that has more kinds of products than I can shake a skewer at!!! Actually, I'm really just the one that buys the food and it's my partner that does the cooking. (He's an amazing cook!)
We've been big fans of Central Market for a while. If you like Whole Foods, you'll like CM. But, what I like about CM more than WF is that the produce section is even larger than the Roosevelt WF location. And, it's even more diverse since the clientele going into CM runs all over the ethnicity rainbow.
The areas where they don't do as well are in the wine department but that's okay because I've got places more local to me that I can venture to - that's where this place's sister location, Ballard Market, comes in. In the summer they have excellent choices for French dry rose' wines. YUM!

I recently started using Scott Chytil of Chytil Photography to create the photo spreads that I use for my real estate listings. His prices seem reasonable and his work is stunning. I just listed a condo yesterday using the photos that we took and I believe that it may be sold as quickly as today. Yeah, for my client!!!
If you are considering having any photos done for your home whether it's for your own personal use, as an unrepresented seller, or you are an agent or their client interested in having the best views of your home on the internet - I highly recommend his work. On top of the good work, Scott is also a really nice guy who is easy to work with and a professional in dress and demeanor. This is something I truly appreciate - it's great when you can work with a competent and friendly person. It just makes the experience that much better.
