Lululemon To Launch E-commerce Site Early

Lululemon's plan was to launch an e-commerce site in Fall 2009 , but they have moved it up. They decided to launch the site early to absorb excess inventory. Lululemon is also launching a new product line in April, I wonder what it will look like???

Anyone know when the new site is launching?

Save the Date Magnets

Today Wes and I are ordering our Save the Date magnets to send out to our guests. I found a great website called Pioneer Color that creates personalized invitations, photo magnets, announcements and other cards. They have a large selection to choose from and each magnet you can personalize. You can update the background or font colors on most of the magnets to match you wedding colors.

They are going to send me a digital proof to approve before they place my order. I'll let you know how they turn out when we get them.

The Second Street Grill in Yakima, WA

Rachel and I went to The Second Street Grill in Yakima, WA for lunch the other day. Rachel mentioned it was a new restaurant and was convenient since it was across the street from her work. When I walked in, I thought 'Am I really in Yakima?' This place was too nice and fancy looking for Yakima. To my surprise the place was packed and there was actually a wait to get seated. Instead of waiting we decided to sit in the bar area. It felt like a nice sports bar with a number of TV's. The place felt very warm and cozy with dark brown wood floors, brick walls and black tables.

The menu had a large selection of american food. They had pizza, burgers, sandwiches, steak, pasta and seafood. Rachel and I split two appetizers; a shrimp peanut (thai type) pizza and some tuna, chicken and shrimp skewers with peanut sauce. This was enough food for us, so we didn't need to order an entree. Entrees were anywhere from $9 - $35 dollars.

Here is a pic from Yakima's 'On Magazine'.

Hanger Cafe Georgetown Seattle

A few months ago I read an article about this awesome crepe place in georgetown, so we decided to go check it out. The place is called Hanger Cafe and it's located at 6261 13th Avenue South (on the south end of Georgetown.

The place is a small old house in georgetown that could maybe hold 35 people. It was pretty packed when we got there, but we got lucky with one table open in the back. We all ordered the
Hangar Crepe
Eggs, ham Swiss, cheddar, thinly sliced red onion, Roma tomatoes and baby spinach topped with a roasted poblano and basil vinaigrette and crème fraiche. $7.75

Man, this crepe was delicious!! The flavors made it melt in your mouth. I really wanted to try one of their sweet 'dessert' crepes, but we had to wait 45 minutes just to get one crepe. There was a big party of 15 people that came in right before us.

The waitress was nice enough to warn us that there would be a long wait before we ordered and made sure that was ok with us. She made sure to keep us happy by refilling the coffee.

I'm going to go back soon and try that sweet crepe :)
