Hi Friend
Really stretching the memory muscles! I know Laina got an ad in the mail for a
cleaning service called "Monica Gellar" which is pretty
brilliant. And Kelly said, "It's
going to be so hot out this weekend I'm going to get a new freckle." Man
do I miss those days!
I also stopped bringing Percy to his day care and started
meeting Dawne and Aunt Pat at the park in the morning. Then Dawne takes Percy home with her during
the day and my dog is the happiest little ball of fur ever.
We had brunch at Laina's where she got me flowers and a
Sprite because apparently that keeps flowers fresh longer. So it was a gift of
flowers AND knowledge. Then we brought
up that time that someone came over to Laina's and threw a tantrum because she
doesn't have salt in the house, and laughed and laughed. And then I think these were new nicknames for
babies or pets? I don't know.
Skin kitten
Fur baby
And this?
Shana: Who needs ankles?
Rach: It's cool, he's like 98% cartilage
And this?
What if the boat explodes
Then we're in this together.
Dr Rach, Dr Anders and Anderson and I went for a walk on
Alki after Laina's and we saw someone who must have been having a Quinciera
(SP) otherwise she just does what she wants at her wedding. And then who knows what happened for the rest
of the weekend... prob TV and sleep tho, if I were a betting girl.
Pics!
Much Love,

Update 6/6 - 6/12
Hi
Friend,
So
for the first couple of days I was picking up coffee on my way to meet Dawne
and then I guess she thought that was silly, because she just took the cups one
day and started making coffee for us at her house. Now that is recycling. I think we used those same cups for almost a
month.
Co-worker: My apartment
complex has a pool. It also has many children. I would enjoy exactly one of
those things.
My other co-worker Corrinne's
Bunko group had a "bring a friend" night and she invited me! It was
pretty fun, plus someone made these epic melting snowmen cookies.
Should we split it?
No we want fighting
I feel like this was a quote
from Lucas because I definitely remember him talking about Swatches,
specifically the Special X Edition, but I don't remember the context - still
it's kind of amusing.
Masters bc all my friend have
one and bachelors is looked down on
Actually, I definitely think
at this point Lucas was living with me, and he had this conversation with
someone at his film class.
What powers does your crystal
have?
I have to catch the bus bye
bye
Since going to college, Lucas
is becoming a total rice snob so I made Lucas get some Cambodian rice.
Why? Because if I learned anything while
I was in Cambodia, it's that they have the number 1 rice!
After about a week, I
explained to Luke that the Jesus quote was from my birthday party
decorations. Did I mention it was above
the sink for instead of a mirror so my Jewish cousin had to read it while he
was brushing his teeth? Also, right
after I had this conversation, I dropped the glass bottle of frankincense which
spilled all over the floor. And then a couple of days later, a bottle of
Worchester sauce broke on the floor moments before I was walking out the door.
I guess thank goodness for tile floors but UGH!
Me: Sorry I'm not going to
make it to your graduation. Maybe I can
call your name and you can walk across a fake stage and then toss an imaginary
hat into the air when you get here.
Bails: Sounds good. I found the best imaginary had last week, it
was on sale for 3000% off. I'll bring it
with me if I have room in my bag.

of a lighthouse!)

Hi Friend!
Ooh! A new fancy hipster Taco
bell opened near my house, so that’s exciting.
I also asked a co-worker, Joey, to watch Percy, Nala and Casper, but just
for one night, and really just to give them love until the dog walker could
come the following day. He was really
gracious about it – and the pups definitely appreciated it. I know, because I asked.
I went down to LA for E3, while
D&J and fam went down to Disney and totally got the whole fam into the 33
Club. And I started rewatching some
Grey’s Anatomy because I’m weird, and also because it’s such a crazy drama! If
you watch them tight together it’s kinda crazy the whirlwind that we’ve all gone
through together.
Someone asked me where the Xbox booth was at one
point, while I we were standing in the booth.
I’m pretty sure that Chelsea told
me, “I am mildly allergic to very sharp cheeses.” And if she didn’t
someone did and I thought their problems were amusing.
Chelsea: It sounds like a club in
here, “Douche douche douche”
Me: Is that what it sounds like?
Chelsea: Yeah, every time I hear it I think, “Drink
drinks drinks”
My very talented co-worker was
waiting for Windows to update and ended up drawing me this awesome
Warthog. So I totally framed his
“doodle.” I also ordered my fancy
customized pink and blue Xbox controller and it’s so pretty that I have it on display
in my house like an art piece.
And I tested out the flexibility
of the new action figures are, and the answer is VERY flexi. The “Cheerio” challenge was thing this week,
so Erika’s husband tested it out on his baby.
Coworker James...
It's 4 o'clock on a Friday, what do you want?
And Anderson turned one!
Bob: Weren't you on the front page of the paper with
a hammer?
Anders: Yes
Bob to other son (I think?): And you were on it with
a purse?
Bailey graduated High School. When she decorated her cap her OTHER aunts
both, separately asked, What is UMI – AMI? *sigh* And Bailey’s other
friend decorated hers with “Because my Hogwarts letter never came” and in
smaller letters “Harvard 2020.”
And because it was also father’s day:
How do you know if it’s a Dad Joke?
It’s apparent

Hi Friend,
Bailey came to visit! On her
flight over she sat next to a Serbian who spoke to her for about 2 of the 5
hours and she only heard every 4th word.
Zach came over, and then we
headed over to Dawne's to make s'mores.
Bails: I'm going to tell dad I
need one of these.
Me: A fire pit?
Bails: No, a lake.
Me: When is your game coming
out?
Zach: I said it would out by
Christmas...I didn't say what year.
After a long day of going to
Elliot Bay Book Company, the library, half price books, Molly Moon's, Blick and
generally running around the city.
Me: What do you want to do
next?
Bails: I just want to go home,
cuddle with a dog, watch parks and rec and drink some club soda.
(Oh, yeah, we introduced Bails
to Parks and Rec!)
One day got up, had waffles,
and then we went on a little hike near Snoqualmie Falls. There was something
else here because I remember dropping Zach off and then picking him back up
later but anyway that night we went to Capitol Hill and saw the beginnings of
Pride Week, including some assless chaps and a mini-pre-parade. Bails said she had never been to a parade, so
we got up early the next day to go to the real Pride Parade. I might have pushed the limits of our weekend
because we had to run from the Parade, to the lake for boating, bbq and lake
fun. And then we had to rush off to a
Dog Film festival that was made with, by and for dogs. Bails and I each took a yorkie so we could
match while watching the "less serious" half the films. As soon was that done we rushed back to XXX
Root beer for floats and fries.
Pretty sure that I missed some
events - like going to the grocery store because that's apparently fun thing to
do with me because I shop like a 5 year old.
But you get the basic idea!
Much love,
T O'B
Update 6/27 - 7/3
Hi Friend,
More fun with Bails this
week! Including flying to Victoria! It
was really fun, especially because I've never been on a seaplane or been to
Victoria. We checked out a book store,
and walked around town before heading to the empress hotel for high tea. Wait!
I remember what we did in that last note, we shopped for big floppy hats to
wear while we drank tea! Or Club Soda depending on who you are.
Bails: 66 flavors is too
overwhelming - what am I going to do?
Me: Get Mint and Chocolate
like you always do?
Bails: We accomplished so much
today.
Me: Like what?
Bails: Victoria
We separated from the group a
little and walked the city and then went to the miniatures museum and then to
the bug museum was actually pretty cool.
Bails: Do you think my mom
would get mad if I moved to Canada?
On Tuesday, went to the dog
park, and then Norm's (the dog bar) for lunch, checked out the Fremont troll,
strolled around town, and then I brought Bails to Archie McPhees. I also took her to my office so she could
take a picture with Chief, and we did another little boat ride. I'm not sure if it was because we essentially ate waffles, fries and
ice cream exclusively on the trip but Bails definitely announced, "Bails:
I like Washington." So I'm going to call it a very successful trip! I was very sad to see her go on
Wednesday. She texted me from the plane
with her empty row.
Bails: Tell Lucas that Me,
Myself, and I are going to have a great flight!
Lucas: They're going to New
York without me??? What jerks.
Becky's parents were in town
and helping her do some work on her house (which in about 10 months was going
to come in very handy for me!) I met her
and her parent's at the Malt n Vine and they taught me how to play Hand and
Foot. Or at least I learned for that
evening and now I have no idea. I can
definitely see how Becky is related BTW!
In other news, Matty got a new
puppy, Pete (I think I accidentally post pictures of Pete and Matty on Aug 28th
with no explanation. So you can look
forward to that in a bit, but he's super cute!)
And then to wrap up the
weekend, I just got really sick and stayed in bed. Lucky for you, I didn't take pictures of
that!
Much love,
T O'B
