Life at Home

  • Watched two amazing games of Rugby (pictures to come after I get home to Photoshop)
  • Feared for Mallory's life against the Amazons - girls twice her size!
  • Wondered why people ever do their hair in rainy Seattle
  • Tried out a variety of beds for my back (firm = ideal)
  • Shopped on Craigslist, Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, and Fraser Furniture.com for decor ideas
  • Fielded lots of emails re: my house up for rent.
  • Learned to play Ticket to Ride, and got a high score of 108 but could never beat Kendall.
  • Ignored pages from work for the first time ever because DANG IT, I'm on vacation!
  • Ate lots of good food - Chevy's, Mo's Chowder, Strawberry Milkshake, Mandarin Orange Chocolate Cake, Kendall's Lasagne, Black Angus Prime Rib, unlimited Orange Sodas (my mom loves me!), sharp cheddar Tillamook cheese... mmmm.
  • Made lots of mini-shopping excursions with my mom, Adrie, and the dog. Consignment shops, the flower nursery, Ross, and the craft store.
  • Purchased my first ever pair of premium denim jeans - Sevens. I won't tell you how much they cost.
  • Discovered the magic that is Sephora and how it's going to change my makeup life forever.
  • Sat in wonder and amazement at the reality of my little sisters driving me around, giving me music, makeup, and clothing advice. Who'd've guessed?

Looks like a ton of fun! Isn't being with family the best? I love Ticket to Ride! :)

I like when Adrie looks at the camera! And when you're here. Things are going to be slow and boring now that you're gone. I miss you!

Sounds like a woman's paradise. I'm JEALOUS!

Saying I'm jealous I wasn't there subtracts from your trip, so how about I say I'm ENVIOUS of your trip. I wish we could have all been together -- but I'll try to recreate the trip when I go next week!

I'll even be Adrie... "NnnnnO!"

That's why I always wear a ponytail in Seattle.

I guess you liked the fancy jeans huh?

It was good to see you.
