juldeaHello again!
I'll make this one short. I'm sleepy and don't feel like posting uber-details.
On Sunday we woke up, got dressed up (I borrowed a dress from Kate), and went to her cousin's wedding. We were late because as we were driving there, we passed a place that Kate mentioned was supposed to have the best ice cream ever, and so we stopped to find out. The cones were seriously softball sized, and that doesn't include what was in the cone. It was great. I got blackberry ripple.
The wedding was nice, pretty standard wedding-ish. We got free food at the reception. I joined the group of single girls to catch the bouquet. The bride threw it, and it went off to the side of the group and landed on the ground. I picked it up because I was nearby, expecting there to be a re-toss, but apparently that meant I caught it. I felt really bad about that because I wasn't really a wedding guest.
Oh, the reception was at an aquarium. That was cool.
We stayed with Kate's friend Kris last night in downtown Seattle. Today we did some sight-seeing and shopping. There was a middle-eastern store that had a lot of belly dance costumes in it, including this black one that... well, if I had been able to try it on, and it fit, I would have started crying. It was beautiful and I wanted it, but it was $400. *sigh*
Then we ate some thai dinner, and now we're at the computer lab where Kris works before going back to the apartment. We'll take naps and then head out for Sacramento.
It's very cold here. And wet. It's a very stereotypical day.
I got a purple duffel bag. I decided I needed something larger than a backpack and smaller than a suitcase. There was a little shop selling all sorts of bags and suitcases for pretty cheap, so I got it.
I've broken into crying twice now. It seems that I'm not around a lot of couples very often, and if I am, they're not super-snuggly couples. So I am never reminded of what I'm missing. That hasn't been the case for the past two days, though, and I find myself missing Jason so hard I start crying until I call him and hear his voice. It's not a problem all of the time, just when it's morning or there's really nothing for us to do and so I am doing nothing and Brendan and Kate are snuggling and kissing.
Goodnight moon. I hope we go to Kris's apartment and sleep soon.
