Update 7/21 - 7/27
One of the many things that go
wrong when I fall behind is that I totally forget things. One of those things, was GOATALYMPICS. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Yeah, me
neither, but it totally exists. Pretty
cool right?
I also just found out about this movement, Cascadia (http://cascadianow.org/cascadian-independence/)
because my boy Mucas got his first patches in the mail.
Random quote from Cristi from
FB that amused me:
I was pulled from lovely sleep
by awful music playing. "Who are those jerks playing music at this
hour??" (5:00 am) "Who wakes up to Maroon 5 blasting??"
The Kitten Crate is empty. She
got out, stood on the radio until it turned on and went through stations and
now I can't find her.
Let the Kitten Hunt begin. Wish
me luck, People of Facebook.
With an equally random picture
of Percy looking for a specific toy:
We started our weekly Gilmore
Girl’s style, family dinners on Wednesday.
It was kinda great. But mostly, I
was preoccupied this week and then before I knew it, it was the weekend!
We went to the dog park early
on Saturday, then I got a brand new phone, followed by an impromptu trip to
Port Townsend. I called ahead of time to
try to find a place to stay, and after being scolded by the tourist bureau, I
found a 4 bedroom officers house at Fort Warden.
We took two ferries over there,
and while we were waiting for one of them, I took Percy for a little walk by
the water. It was so pretty out, I
decided to take a picture of Percy on the awesome backdrop. As I was asking him
to pose while all he wanted to do was run around in the water the guy started
making comments.
Stranger: Teaching him
how to take good selfies seems like a hard trick when he's already doing his
primary trick of looking adorable all the time.
While I appreciate the
sentiment, the first trick I taught him was to pose nicely for a picture - you
know, so I could capture the adorable.
We got to Port Townsend just in
time to check into our lodging and run over to the drive in movies. After I posted this pic on FB.
Scott: That's a double bill
from hell!
Jordan: Yes, but it's a drive
in double bill from hell.
Percy didn't mind though, he
was super psyched for Transformers to begin!
The next day, we woke up in our
historical officer’s home at the break of dawn, and Dawne, the pups and I went
out on the expansive lawn and let the dogs just run and run and run. And then I said, "That's enough. We're going back to bed."
When we did end up leaving the
house, we grabbed some b-fast and coffee at the main building, or "Two
Non-Fat Wannabee Latte's" as they were served to us.
The next stop was the main
event: the Olympic Game Farm! I was a
little worried about driving through with Stella, given that the bison we were
about to encounter weigh more than a Fiat, but I took the plunge anyway. I think the big highlights were when I threw
multiple pieces of bread from the driver’s seat, through the passenger window
and into the bear’s mouth’s. Finally
found my sport! Percy growled when one
of the bison puts its head into my window, and luckily, he bison quickly
withdrew. You win this round,
Perseverance. Then there was a lot of
huge animals hanging around D&J’s jeep, followed by me quickly feeding
animals and driving past so that I didn’t get overwhelmed by gigantic
beasties. (Also Emu’s are terrifying.)
We followed this adventure up
with some lunch outside a 50’s themed diner, and then we found a little off
leash Dog Park.
Our ride home was relatively
uneventful. Though, when a tiny bit of
traffic popped up around the Tacoma dome, Jordan immediately got off the
highway and started heading in the opposite direction. I don’t know what it is about my internal
clock, but if I plan a trip, I’m totally cool with how ever long we need to
drive, but if that trip extends past what I was planning, I instantly get
agitated. This is why, when D&J said
that they were going to drive down to Mt. Rainer, I declined the
invitation. Happily, I took an alternate
route, with zero traffic. Which meant I
got home in time to do some laundry and get my work done all before D&J got
home.

And that’s why I didn’t get
this written on time. J
