Weekend with Eliso
Sunday 5/15, My hair tie fell out in the middle of the night so my hair was down and in the morning B told me that he woke up and just stared at me in the middle of the night because I looked so beautiful. Awwww. Ok, I know I know. So we got up around 9:00 or so and got dressed and made breakfast, I was in charge of the French Toast and didn’t do too bad if I do say so myself. Had to call Mom for the recipe. The bacon splattered right across my face in my eye, that felt great. But it was all good, and then Eliso brought out her sex catalog so we could look at products, and I’m going to have to get some cause they look fun…so, then we called Court and talked to her for a bit and said we were thinking of her because of the sex toys. Then we decided to go down to this craft fair downtown, but on the way I started getting these terrible cramps, so our first stop was to get me some water so I could take some meds. Then we were walking around and it was kind of drizzly but it was so much fun and there were so many beautiful things there, but all I bought was some natural lavender and oatmeal soap. Then we decided to get something to eat and then B and I would take off. So we went to this really cute little district and there was a cute house that I want Eliso to buy, and a beautiful jewelry store that we looked around in and then we went and got lunch. McMinimans or something, a pub brewery I think, and Eliso and I got these delicious mozzarella tomato sandwiches with pesto and onion, very good. Then we left and went back to Eliso’s house and B and I departed. It was a lot of fun and B said that Jake reminds him of one of his good friends, so that was nice, and he also said that it’s nice to get to meet my friends, cause he doesn’t get to meet many of them. Eliso loved him…so that was good. The first half of the drive back my cramps were killing me, but I fell asleep holding B’s hand, and then we pulled over for gas and I stayed awake for the rest of the trip back. We made it into Seattle by 5:15, only 15 minutes off from B’s guess. Then I went home showered, got some food and laid in bed all day watching tv and relaxing. Made some phone calls, watched my shows and went to bed.
Saturday 5/14, Ok, so we got up before 8:00 on Sat morning and got ready and left. Went to Kassie’s to get my jacket, hit a convenience store for supplies and hit the road. Pretty uneventful drive, but the cops were out. We pulled over a little north of Vancouver to use the restroom and then B drove cause he knows Portland and I don’t. So I called and talked to Jake for directions and we got a little turned around and stuck in traffic, but we saw the “Boom Boom Room” so that was pretty cool, and then we found our way to Eliso’s. It was great to see her and Jake and they’ve gotten another dog since living in Tacoma, Anu and Duke has settled way down, which was good. So we were all hungry so we decided to go into downtown and get lunch, we went to this pizza place with HUGE slices of pizza and that was really good. B couldn’t eat his second piece, then we walked across the street to Powell’s City of Books, or something like that, and just wandered around for a long time. Eliso said she would help me find my cheating book, and it was in the “Self-Help Realization” section in the Purple room so we laughed about that and went to find it. Then we went back to the Gold Room for some Sci-Fi and to find Jake. Then B found us and we went off to look for my Henry VIII book, found that and then went to the “knot tying” and “sea ships” section and B found some books, but I found the one he bought, which has a whole bunch of line drawings of ships that he is thinking could be the inspiration for his tattoo. We looked at some prints and then went and found Eliso and Jake again. We got our books and left to go get some milkshakes, which made me so full I felt like I was going to explode. We drove around and looked at the cute neighborhoods and then went back to the house. We decided to go for a walk at the park so we piled into two separate cars and drove to a huge park to walk the dogs. It was beautiful out, but a little muggy. We were walking on this trail when these kids shot out right in front of us, one was on a bike pulling the other one on a sled down a muddy hill…it was hilarious, then Duke started pulling Jake and Jake slipped on the mud and fell on his ass…oh my god, I laughed for like 10 minutes, and then Jake tried to wipe the mud on me, but he didn’t get me. We found a big dog field and let Anu run around and play fetch, and B found a tree he wanted to climb so he did that but then he was going to do a tricky trick and grabbed this branch to swing on it and almost hit Eliso and I in the head with it…that would have been bad. We then went back to the house and just hung out and talked, then Sos and I went to the store for breakfast stuff and beer and left the boys to talk…B is so great with people it amazes me. It’s like he’s known Eliso and Jake for years, he’s so comfortable talking to anyone. I am very impressed. Anyway, so Eliso and I got some girl talk in, and then when we got back we all just hung out and talked until it was time to go get some dinner, so Jake found a Vietnamese place that looked good and I treated everyone to dinner, Jake and I got the same beef soup and I think everyone enjoyed it. Then we went to Blockbuster to rent a movie, Saved, my pick, ha! And went to the store for candy, and B charged his $.67 and Eliso laughed. Went back and watched the movie, very good, and B said that it brought back all sorts of memories. Then we went to bed after it was over and I was out.
