Adios

Last night my house guests said they wanted to stay home today, take it easy, sleep in and just spend the day together. I found out later that we don't agree on the term 'sleeping in'. To them it means getting up by seven. To us, it's more like nine or ten.

Allison was in her baking mode again and she made (from scratch) Masterpiece Muffins. They had cinnamon strudel on the tops and they were fantastic! So we had muffins and juice for breakfast while we talked about what we wanted to do. We decided on Snoqualmie Falls and then they would leave from there to head home. Stephie stayed home and Chris was out with some friends, so we only had Allison and Ashley with us.

Apparently about a gazillion other people made the Falls their destination. Check out the crowd on the observation deck overlooking the falls.

I've never seen so many people there in my life. Paco is so frightened of heights that he wouldn't climb onto the observation deck. I can't say as I blame him. Annabella got up there but wouldn't go near the edge.

After we looked at the view we took the girls to the souvenier shop so we could disappoint them by not buying them anything. Paco bought some post cards and then it was time to hug goodbye.

They are off to Utah and I miss them already. Thanks for coming Paco and Annabella!

Did I mention that Paco applied for some jobs while he was here? We're hoping they can move up here sometime.

  1. That observation deck looks like a horrible accident waiting to happen. Yikes!

    Glad you had fun with the friends! We were with family this weekend and we're going to apply for jobs where they live, too! :)

    Oh yeah, 7:00 freaking a.m. is NOT sleeping in! We don't need to get up that early on regular school days, let alone vacation! I'm glad you survived the experience and had magical muffins, or something like that. ;o)

    Wow, definitely lots of people at Snoqualmie! I'm glad there weren't many when we were there.

Online Friends

I'm sure you've heard by now that blue is the new black, forty is the new thirty and they're lying through their teeth when they say that last thing. Also, imaginary childhood friends (you know you had one) have been replaced with online friends. They're the same in that no one ever really sees them, but you talk to them, you play with them, your other friends and family think you're just this side of a restraining jacket and you're a lot older than you were when you first had friends you never saw. Sure they're real you might say in that mocking tone you have . Well stop that. Save your mocking for later on when I tell you all about my Internet friends. No, I can't see them, or touch them, although some of them have asked me....um, well, we'll go into that later. People have become friends with other people across the world, sometimes they've become friends with people they'd never become friends with in RL. That means real life for ...

Wheeeeeeee!

Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth...

People are rude

I'm whining today. I think I have the right. My friend's mom sells Cookie Lee Jewelry and I agreed to host a party for her at my home tonight. I sent out about twenty invitations via the mail and I only had two people call me to say they couldn't come. Two. Two kind people called to let me know they would not be able to make it. The rest ignored the invitation. I cleaned my house, I made two apple crisps. This afternoon I called everyone I sent invitations to. I know people are busy. I get that. it's not that I'm not busy either. I'm just...disappointed in people. I feel let down. Silly of me, huh? But I do. Good thing I have apple crisp and vanilla ice cream for my family tonight. On a positive note, I went to the pool this morning and had a nice workout. Felt better for having done that and plan on going tomorrow as well. Now I'm getting the 'what's for dinner mooooom???' queries. I think tonight it will be fast food. I...
