saturday morning with jeff

Had just about the nicest starts to a morning. Jeff called and we made plans to go to the University Farmer's Market. He even came and picked me up, because he utterly, utterly rules.

As a side note, doing anything today, including typing this post, is very difficult as Hobbes has apparently just learned that he is madly in love with me and must be squashed up against me no matter where I am or what I am doing or how inconvenient it may be. *smooches the Thing that is Orange*

Anyhow, I vaulted out of bed to get ready and as Jeff buzzed to come up, I was just finishing buttoning my shirt. Nice timing, eh?

It was my first time at the U's Farmer's Market, and honestly I don't know what the hell I've been doing all my life. It's wonderful. It was a gorgeous day, and I just happen to get excited about things like outdoor markets. We did our best to restrain ourselves and not buy everything --but it was hard. I walked away with:

- walla walla onions
- red onions
- strawberries
- snap peas
- baguette
- brioche
- cumin gouda
- and peonies

After Jeff dropped me off, I did some gardening, and then sat on my deck with The Essential Calvin and Hobbes, while my own essential Hobbes slept curled up next to me. It is, as mentioned before, a seriously gorgeous day out and I even have a decent view of the Greenwood Classic Car Show.

Going to grill tonight and watch some Six Feet Under.

Life? Really not sucking so much.

the days are just packed

Long and lean and tan and lovely...

I really love my cat.

summer days driftin' away, to uh-oh those summer nights

Okay, so I hate hot weather, but warm nights are just lovely. And this whole light-until-10 thing can stay forever.

After dinner, I grabbed mes livres and sortied to the corner Tully's to study and drink their version of a frappachino. It was delicious, and the very nice, cute guy gave me an extra punch on my card. Yay!

I don't think I've babbled about this lately, so I'll say it again--I love my neighborhood. I loved Ballard, but I'm situated so much better here, everything is a short stroll away.

When my brain began to plead for mercy, I packed up and headed for Walgreen's to buy some nail polish, because sandal season is here, baby! Then to Safeway for a couple of ingredients for that roasted garlic salad dressing and urgently needed toilet paper, and then home sweet home.

And I think I'm going to take a long, girly bath, do my nails, and riffle through my wardrobe for skirts.

I need something comfortable, cool, but cute to wear tomorrow. I'm meeting up with Jeff and we're going to head downtown to march with our company's group in the Pride Parade. I'm really looking forward to it, and there's even a dinner planned at Brasa for our director's birthday. I'm going to try to skip that, because Ellie's final dinner at their old house is tomorrow night and I'm going to do my best to get out of the company thing, as much as I'd like to go. I love my work people, but I love Ellie much more.

What I don't love, however, is marching in 90-degree heat. Feh.

Anyhow, I'm really enjoying Six Feet Under. The first disc was just okay, but the more I watch it, the more I like it. So that is definitely on the agenda for tonight.

Time to fill up the tub and use the last of Dawn's lovely Lush bubble bars! Whee!
