I’m so tired tonight! I wanted to title this “Tired”. My brain is dragging, but I don’t want to go to bed yet because I tend to wake up around 2am wide awake if I do that. So, hello to you, blog.
We had a great at-home weekend. Friday we went to Palace Kitchen with friends Zach & Emily. I love Palace for the fact that we can sit at the bar and enjoy a menu of: oysters, chicken wings like you’ve never had ‘em, cheese plate and olive poppers. There’s more to choose from but those are our staples. You can sit at a bar for hours sharing stories, ordering more apps when you feel like it – and you don’t feel rude like you might for occupying your spot. (I tend to feel like I should leave after being at a table for much longer than an hour.)
Saturday was gloomy out: it snowed in the mountains but warmed up (yep, still seeing flood levels for most rivers!), it didn’t rain for most of the day so we packed up and headed to Snoqualmie Falls. Bryan had never been there before, so it was good to get him out with the 300 other folks who wanted to see the falls that day, too. I grew up fairly close to the falls – in middle school, a girlfriend and I would ride our bikes to there, hike to the base and eat lunch.
We couldn’t hike down on Saturday – unstable trail conditions from too much rain.
Saturday night we watched a movie I’d recommend: King of Kong. It’s all about this community of gamers who are REALLY into classic video games. This guy from Redmond, WA gets laid off and decides to see if he can beat the all-time top score in King Kong. He’s just a regular guy against all these other über-nerds. Want to know what happens? Rent it yourself!
Sunday we ate lunch, ran up to the Farmer’s Market here in West Seattle, and came home for a quick lunch before I took B to the airport. He’s in SF for some training today & tomorrow. I like the Farmer’s Market because the vendors there are really nice. There’s something about being able to actually talk to the person you’re buying your apples and potatoes from, rather than looking at a sign on Thriftway’s produce aisle.
Today I logged a lot of hours at work, ran some errands and came home. Work has been a nice pace of busy lately – today was actually abnormal, that I stayed so late.
Good night!
