Best day ever!

Jeff came over around 10:30 while I was finishing breakfast, and then we went to swim. He's introduced me to this cool site that provides a workout regime to swim a mile in 6 weeks. I feel like I needed something extra to motivate my workouts, so I've joined him on this endeavor. So off to Evans pool for a great swim--it felt fantastic, even though I'm still a bit stupidly congested. And I swear to fucking god, I'm going to stick to a routine this week. The plan requires swimming 3x a week, so I definitely need to start going in the mornings. And lifting weights on alternative days. I AM, dammit. I made a weightlifting sheet and everything. I'm tired of having noodle-arms.

Anyhow. Apres le swim, we set off on a course of errands. We went to Sofrito Rico in Ballard, which has sadly changed names to the less charming "La Isla Seattle" but the chef is the same and the food just as amazing. Then to buy some birthday cards, and I bought these cards with cute art that I want to frame, so we walked down to Annie's Affordable Art to buy frames. Then back to the car and off to U-haul for boxes, Petco for cat food and water filters, Fred Meyer for miscellaneous things like shampoo, soap, Airborne, etc., and then finally Safeway for groceries where the strange checkout guy eyed my flowers and said, "Orange roses--the color of PASSION!" Oooooooookay.

Jeff helped me lug everything upstairs (I do nothing but exploit that guy's muscles) and we babbled a bit more before he took off around 5:30 for Brian's birthday party and........

SAAAAAAAAAARAH CAME OVER! *shriek*

We've been missing each other for the past two goddamn weeks. But as much as I missed her, it's okay, because I'm kidnapping her for next weekend--we're off to our Second Annual Sequim Trip! We've rented a very exciting house on the water and have all kinds of exciting plans with Scrabble, grilled meats, lounging, and watching movies. Whee!

And tonight was awesome. We babbled excitedly, then wandered down to Olive You for dinner (which took a year and a half to serve us, but gave us some comp'd appetizers) and we chattered and made lists about Sequim. And then we ran around Greenlake and now both of us have sore feet, owie. But then we hung out here, and played a little bit of Kingdom Hearts II and just YAY. So nice to catch up.

I love my friends! *bounce*
I love long weekends! *bounce*
I love everything! *bounce*

I will have to post about my long weekend of nightly parties sometime soon. When I'm not fretting about apartment furnishing and the finances necessary for said (and our young hero's clammy realization, on figuring in Excel how much it would charge him to charge for the items on time vs. paying for them outright, of how much money he has thrown into the cloaca of the credit card system lo these past few years, and his grim determination to never do so again, unless it is feasibly impossible)

Looking forward to reading about it!
