Thursday 7/12, Much cooler day. I left work at 3:30 to pick Aubrie up at the airport and she was waiting for me on the curb so we took right off and headed home. We sat on the couch and watched Daniel Radcliffe on Leno and laughed then Susan came home and we did introductions. I showered and got ready and we headed out with the objective to get dinner on Queen Anne at 5 Spot in the hopes of a good meal and to see Michael. Unfortunately he wasn’t working but I got the fried chicken and mashed potatoes so that made up for it a little bit. So did one of the cute waiters. As we were leaving I spotted Michael in the bar, not working, but just hanging out chatting on the phone waiting for some friends. He hugged and he told me to wait so we could chat so Aubs and I waited outside and took pictures and laughed at the Stranger cover story then he came out and I told him about Eric and he said something that was very interesting and instantly got the wheels turning in my head, but I’m not writing it here, because it does a bit of damage to my ego. And I’m not trying to advertise, if you know what I mean. I called Chrystol and told her I didn’t think we were going to make it down to her place to see it because we had a movie starting on Lower Queen Anne in an hour. We drove down and got rock star parking by the theater and walked over to Easy Street where I picked up a bunch of cds I totally didn’t need. Shame on me! I totally have buyer’s remorse now. We went to Safeway for candy treats for our movie then went and saw Paris Je T’Aime and I really liked it, well, I really liked most of the stories; others were just really bizarre. After it got out we did a drive by of Eric’s work but didn’t see his car so then I suggested driving by his house, which Aubrie was up for so we did and his car was there then we went home. I texted him after we were home for a little while but got nothing back. I did however get one from Nick so that was cute. We went to bed around 1:30 or so and Aubrie is totally rooting for him over anyone else.
Wednesday 7/11, During the day Kelly sent me a message on myspace about how much fun he’d had the prior evening with an exclamation and happy face. Uggg. Susan and I chatted when I got home and she thought I was insane for still planning to hike with Kay-See and Stacy. We took off for Little Si around 6:30 and began our ascent with K leading the way like always. We made pretty good time and it was about 20 degrees cooler there than at home, but even still, at the point where the hike gets difficult I told K that I didn’t think there was any way I’d make it to the top. Luckily she’s fantastic at motivating me and told me we’d take it slowly and see how far we could get. Needless to say we made it all the way up, though completely sweaty and tired, and set a record of 45 minutes. Fuck. Yeah. At the top the three of us chatted about weight loss and tactics then started our journey back down. Interestingly enough we weren’t the only ones up there. They dropped me off and I ate a tomato and goat cheese salad then watched episodes from Season One OC with Susan then Kelly texted me about lunch the next day. Susan compared him to Brian. We went to bed around 11 and Nick ended up texting me around 11:30 but I was too tired and hot to respond. Despite the wind storm that was a-brewin outside.
Tuesday 7/10, I woke up thinking how great it was that it was Wednesday and that tomorrow would be my Friday since I'm taking the actual Friday off. It didn't actually hit me that it was only Tuesday until I got to work. Then I was very sad. There was a glitch at the post office which thoroughly irritated me so I had to make alternate plans. I talked to Susan on my lunch break who is worried about melting in her apartment so I told her she could stay with me this week because my place stays scarily cool. She's going to bring cookie dough and teach Jacques how to do the dishes and make the beds to boot! Finally this cat will have to learn to earn his keep. I got home a little before she arrived and had already started on my project. Thankfully she jumped right in and helped me knock those fuckers out. Then we sat around and talked and I made a tomato, pesto and goat cheese salad while checking some funny comments on myspace and Susan chatted on the phone. I called Kelly and expressed my interest in seeing Hot Fuzz so we set that up for later in the evening. It was time for me to shower so she took off for home to get stuff and I got ready, called N to see what he was up to and to offer my company for a little bit before my movie. I parked and walked down to the park where he was reading, but I showed him an even better book: Hunks. We were dying of laughter and he kept commenting on how awesome all of the guys' hair were. Then we labeled what kind of rapist they all were. We made out some too and discussed that we pretty much own the PDAs and again, whenever we'd stop kissing all these people would make their way down. Weeeird. It was time for me to go so he walked me to my car, I dropped him at his place and headed up to the Crest where I saw Kelly waiting outside, sans hat. Ooooh, Mama like. He informed me that the movie didn't start until 9:40 (I could have sworn it said 9:30 online) and asked if I wanted to go to this cafe close by so we drove over and he treated. The girl working there was a little off and when I confirmed I wanted whip cream on my shake thing she was like "Clearly you don't have to worry about counting calories" to which I didn't really know what to say. Um, ok. Yes I do. But whatever. Kelly and I chatted there for a few minutes then got back in the car and drove back, but when we went in and I started walking toward the Hot Fuzz theatre he was walking toward the "After the Wedding" theatre, then claimed that that was the only movie playing for the time we wanted. Wha? Huh? I was like "Ohhhhhhhh Kaaaaaay" but I had wanted to see that one at some point anyway so it worked out, but I couldn't help but think, did he just want that extra 10 minutes to chat at the coffee shop? Susan can confirm I very specifically stated that I wanted to see Hot Fuzz. Whatevs. So the movie was really good and we had a little bit of chatter back and forth during the movie, nothing irritating though and our arms were also touching for most of the movie which made me a little curious as to what would be happening afterward. We walked back toward his car because it was closer and were saying good night and he hugged me then kissed me and I'm not going to say much about it on here for fear of it being run across. Anyway, so I drove home and got a text right as I was entering the U-District, and it was N so I called him and we chatted for a little while and he continued to try and persuade me to ditch Kay-See and the hike to come float on Lake Union the following day so I told him if plans were canceled then I would. Or if our night ended early or something. I couldn't wait to go home and spill everything to Susan, but she was already asleep! Drat! Oh boy, I couldn't stop laughing to myself before going to sleep.
Monday 7/9, Peggy cut me loose an hour early so I went home and did my 3-miler and started feeling the burn in my ass and legs almost immediately then later for the rest of the night every time I stood up. I did some cleaning, made some dinner and watched some Wheel. I read through a bunch of N's blogs then started on a batch of cookies. I was baking away in my underwear while Jacques milled about nearby and outside. Then I heard it. The low cat-bellowing which signaled to me that the imposter-Jacques must be close and sure as shit he was hiding under one of the plants on my patio. I went out to grab Jacques but the other cat darted and right after him was J. They were mutually howling at each other and I go running over to the neighbor's patio, mind you I'm still wearing only underwear and a little tank top, and go to scoop up J, but he gives me a funny look so I quickly check the other cat for a collar but he didn't have one so, I went back to "strange glance throwing" cat and scoop him up and take him inside. Then I shut the door but he continued expressing his displeasure at having the other cat in the same vicinity as him. Drama! I finished baking and had tried to call Kelly and left a message, then Monique called and asked me for a favor so I drove down to her place and asked Kelly if I could call him back as he called right as I was arriving. I called him back on my way home and we made plans for a late-ish movie on Tuesday then I called N and we talked for quite a while and he tried to convince me to bring cookies over; I told him no but that maybe on Tuesday or Wednesday. He wanted to nail down plans for Saturday after his baby and baby-mama leave town, but I'll have Aubrie and I don't know how into seeing her big sister make out with some random guy she's going to be. After I hung up with him I headed up to my room and got the first part of my project done, read a little more of N's blog until almost one and finally went to sleep.
