a whole lot of nothing. I finished my class last Friday, and then I decided it's time to vacation it up. I took a break from real life for a while, because, in about a month, I'm going to have more real life than I can probably handle. Saturday afternoon, Monice, Jen, her boyfriend Brandon, and I hit up the healthy living fair at PCC. It was great! Lots (and I mean lots) of free samples and interesting info on products. It was fun to have a chance to try things I know very little about. And, I joined the Vegetarians of WA. I'll see you all at Vegfest next year!
Saturday night-Monday, I spend a couple of fabulous days with best friend Shannon at Port Townsend. There was a lot of talking, talking, talking, which I find completely energizing, but I do need to take a couple of days after to process it all. She lives in Vegas and, while we see each other for dinner and things during the year, it was wonderful to have a couple of days of solid, uninterrupted friend time. Loved it! Plus, the trip was pretty much issue-free, which is really saying something for us. Usually, there are at least one or two significant problems that come up. Outside of some communication problems with the Edmonds ferry workers from inside my car, which actually led to a lot of jokes after, we were A-ok. All I can say about that is: In my world, a green arrow in my lane means go!
After returning from PT, I've spent a few days doing not much of anything. TBF and I went out for happy hour one night and had a great time together. We went for a drink at King's Hardware in Ballard and played skeeball! I ended up liking that a lot. I've read. I've lounged. I've played Chime on the Xbox. One day I didn't end up leaving the house at all, and it was pretty awesome. I've needed some real down time, and that's what I'm getting. Last night, we bbq'd with friends, and I realized that all the foods I made were green. Tomato salad with green basil dressing and smoked mozarella - yum! I made guac for the first time, and it was tasty. Green salsa. Asparagus. I was going to make some pasta with mint pesto and peas, but then the green got to me, and I held off. GREEEEEEEEEEN! Next week, on to the pesto.
Today, TBF and I are heading down to Portland for a couple of days, because I'm having very serious nephew withdrawals. I miss that guy. We'll have some fam time. We'll have some hotel gym and steam room time. We'll have some hanging out downtown time. I'm really looking forward to it.
I have a lot of catching up to do on the old blog. More soon!
