Awesome Freakin' Weekend!

So, I had a really excellent weekend. It helps that my week was pretty good... Got a huge department-wide event at Lake Tapps out of the way. I was wiped out after a long week and was really looking forward to having some quality time with mah man.

I stopped by 7-11 to pick up some Slurpees on my way home. I walked in and they had a stand of HUMUNGO cards. I *had* to buy one for Brian. Thankfully, they had lovey-dovey cards. I put the card in my trunk.

I had a really nice (although short) evening with Brian. He had to get up at a god-awful time; so, I entertained myself with tv. I watched an episode of Most Haunted that really creeped me out. I climbed into bed (really grateful that Brian was there after Most Haunted).

I spent the morning by myself; Brian was working. I got a lot of work done. I also filled out the card for Brian with a little love note and put it in his bedroom. Decided to watch Indiana Jones. That was on when my lover got home. I asked him to get me a pair of socks. It took him a bit more than five minutes and planted a big kiss on me ^_^.
We were supposed to go Karaoke with two of Brian's friends, but they couldn't make it. I was a bit bummed out, but I called Bri to see what she and Stephen were up to. The first words out of Bri's mouth were "want to hang out tonight". So, Brian and I went to Fife.

We played Castle Crashers (best game, evar!), went to a Mongolian place (excellent food!!), and played more Castle Crashers. Brian was pretty tired when we left there (he had been up since 2-ish). we called it a night after getting home.

Sunday was Brian's day off. We made breakfast together and watched movies. I saw Kill Bill vol. 1 and 2. I really liked them.

I couldn't stay too late; Brian had to get up at Stupid o'clock (thanks to Stephanie Miller for the term).

I'm sure you're wondering "...what the heck was awesome about that?" Let me tell you. I spent a happy, relaxed, enjoyable weekend with a man I love. Sure, the incredible sex helped, as did the romantic/cuddly moments. I'm really happy though and that makes all the difference.

Because I can't think of a good title

The Puyallup Fair was spectacular! Sunday was my first time ever going. Brian took me there on a date there.

We bussed in from Bonney Lake. It was a really good move. Parking was horrible!We got there just opened up so it wasn't that crowded.

We went to the Jack FM booth and Brian bought himself and me one of those goody backpacks. It came with some energy drinks, water, chips and a few coupons.

Afterwards, Brian and I headed to the rides. We walked around to get an idea about how many tickets to get. I quickly realized that I needed one of those Dizzy Passes, but they're not available weekends. We decided to get 20 tickets each. We went one this wooden roller coaster; it was fun, but we were in the middle and missed out on the uber thrilling rush of being in the front. We walked around the rides some more; I was being a tad indecisive. We ended up going on a ride that makes people go upside down. Then we had four tickets left (I think we had 8 and I'm willing to bet the other four are in Brian's pocket). We went through a "fun house" which I will forever refer to as "the house of filth and disease."

After the rides, we meandered around for a bit. We went through this one vendor hall with a ton of stuff to buy. It seemed they had a demonstration every 20 feet. I stopped at a booth where you could look up ancestry of your last name. I bought a copy of the Becerra coat of arms and a history of the name. I'm giving it my dad for Christmas. Brian found some really cool metal aged looking posters. He bought an Elvis one and Silver Surfer. After a few halls, we were hungry so we went to Earthquake Burger.

Brian went to buy the food and I went to find seats. I had to linger until a family got up. These two dudes were trying to steal my table, but I told them I had it and they went elsewhere. We split an Earthquake Burger and Fries. I thought it was tasty. Perhaps not worth all the hype. We ended up sharing our table with a really sweet gal who was working the fair. She was trying to hold her own after the husband of a friend of hers had died the night before. I'm really glad we sat with her.

It was getting really warm at that time so we continued through the vendor halls. The Hobby Hall was interesting. Brian said he would enter his Star Wars figures next year.

Brian and I made it through almost all the fair. We were near the Blue Gate when they did the Human Cannon Ball show. I was picking out some Henna to get done on my hand when he shot off. I did see him fly through the air though. It was cool. I ended up getting a really neat design on my hand. I wouldn't mind getting a tattoo, but I don't think work would approve.

We headed towards the gate after that. Brian bought me a dozen wooden roses. They're scented and everything. I put them in my office. They've gotten some compliments.

We just missed a bus back to Bonney Lake so we did some more shopping. We had some food (Brian had a turkey leg and I had a kielbasa). Then we went through this really cool booth with drawings of famous characters and other such thing. I bought some for Brian for his birthday and gave him some on the spot. He'll be super surprised by one of them.

We were really tired after that long day. It was well worth fighting the crowds and heat. I can't wait to go next year!

Impressionism and the Pink Door

I went out with my coworker (and friend) Jamie the other night. She and I left work together to go to the Seattle Art Museum. There was an exhibit called "Impressionist and Art of the Past". I really enjoyed the different paintings they had on display. I really enjoyed the scenery and nude paintings. They had some really awesome 'candid' paintings showing people in their daily life. It took us a few hours to go through the exhibit. When we were done, we went through the gift shop. I bought some cards that had snarky remarks about some paintings. My favorite one was of Adam, Eve and God. Below it said "For Adam the choice was easy; he blamed Eve." Jamie and I milled around the other exhibits then left. We headed to the Pike Place Market and went to this really quaint, hidden restaurant called the Pink Door.

We sat out on the deck. I couldn't believe how crowded it was! Our waiter had an awesome mustache. It was three or so inches long and parted three ways on each side. They menu had a lot of different options. I started off with a cocktail called the Obama-rama. It was a really nice drink with vodka, grape juice and a splash of something really sweet. I ordered Risotto for dinner. It had a delicious taste to it too.

I haven't had too many opportunities to hang out in Seattle as of late. I think I'll make a point to make it there once and a while.

Republican Baptist Convention and the Death Coaster

I went to the Get Motivated Business Seminar. I brought Brian with me. I expected it might be a bit biased. I was really excited to see Colin Powell, Terry Bradshaw and a few other big names there. I wasn't disappointed by my expectation that there'd be a lot of religious/political overtone. I didn't think a call to follow Jesus belonged at a Business Seminar... but at least I didn't spend my money on a ticket. I thought the financial advise was useful at least.

Most of my coworkers cut out around 4, so Brian and I left a little afterwards. We parked a bit past the EMP and had to go by the Fun Forest... It was raining and there was a bit of a thunder/lighting storm going on... but I wanted to ride the roller coaster. Brian was hesitant, but I had to ride. So, he agreed. We looked like we had gone swimming in our clothes.

I felt really energized after that day. Brian and I went on to have a really good evening together that made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I can't say I felt pumped because of the Republican Baptist Convention, or my ride on the Death Coaster. I think it was the shared experience and overall happy feel of the day.

Few Moments to Breathe

I had today off and I have tomorrow off too. It's so nice to get a few days away from work. I've been so overwhelmed and emotional lately and I've needed a short hiatus from work. Brian and I have had a decent weekend together. We had a rocky week and it was really nice to get some time and words behind us. I'm spending my days off with him and I couldn't ask for more.

I think I'll try and take some time off work more often now. I think I need just a few moments to myself time to time.

4) What should you be doing?
dishes

Used as an adjective, "dishes" primarily means to be "done". This is derived from a scene in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead in which one character is sitting on top of the house shooting plates and other glassware which he notes by saying "The dishes are done!" So using this scene as a foundation we can formulate a proof that states that dishes can be done and people can be done(drunk, tired, full, etc.) Therefore by the transitive property...people can be dishes.

To note that one's self is drunk, tired, full, or just plain done: "I am dishes."

The Devil Lurks Behind the Cross

Nothing new to report, but I felt like blogging.

I had a great 4th of July. I went to my Uncle's lake house. I brought Brian along. We had a really good time. We went swimming for a little bit and rode on a steam boat. I got a game called Smart Ass (I was told it's a fitting title for me, lol). We left a bit late and had to go all the way back because I forgot my purse. Oh well.

We also went to a Mariners game. That was a lot of fun for me. Our seats were cheap-o's, but they had a really good view. Brian learned how to keep score. I use to do that so it was fun to see what he was doing.

Sunday was a lazy day but I really enjoyed it. Our weekend finished with an impromptu bed-time photo shoot. I really like the pictures. I put one up here although it's rather intimate. I'm sure Brian will object to it being here... But, I like it and it makes me happy.

I'm looking forward to this weekend and going to a party with some of Brian's friends.

Other than that, life is going along quite nicely.
