Dawne & Lucas picked me up from
work to go to my inspection. I happen to
work in the same town that my new place is in, which is why I thought it was
funny when Lucas said, "Hey! Tiffany! This is your new hood!" We met Jason and the inspector, and I got to
spend more than 15 min in the space.
That's when I got REALLY excited.
We measured everything and later Dawne would make me these really cool
floor plans so I could place house!
We have been trying to meet up weekly
to play games at Zach's only, it's been so nice out that it's difficult to stay
inside. Instead, we met at a park in my
new hood, and Kelly and Zach's current hood.
I think maybe I said I would bring catch phrase to the park, but I also
got confused and ended up forgetting that I said anything about Catch Phrase
and we ended up having to enjoy each other's company. All Cassidy wanted to do was get Gelato, and
I thought that was an amazing dinner idea so we left the park after 20
min. Unclear why it took my so long to
park, but when I was driving around, I saw an old co-worker.
Me: I saw John just now.
Tristin: You saw your mom?
And then an hour later when Tristin was
trying to convince us we needed a real dinner.
Tristin: You know what Grandma always
says?
Me: What?
Tristin: Dessert first.
Kelly: Actually, that was her mom and
she just ran into him.
Kelly had walked away to FaceTime a
friend. We were pretty occupied and
didn't notice she was gone, until I did notice, and then I walked over to
her. Zach followed me, sitting down
saying, "So... who are you sexting!?"
Then we saw a Frisbee in the water. Now this is a man who likes free things:
In other news, I watched Legally Blonde
and Legally Blonde, Red, White and Blonde and then proceeded to try to debate
the movies with my entirely male co-workers.
Bridging the gender gap: Am I doing it right?
I received a phone call from my nephew
on Wednesday.
Kevin: Guess what!? I have the same
skin is you!
Me: What?
Kevin: I don't have my Mom's skin, I
have your skin!
Me: What do you mean?
Kevin: I got poison ivy all over my
face! Isn't that great!
I grabbed brunch with Becky, which
frankly I don't do often enough. Then I
worked a bunch which is boring. I also
dragged Dawne to Home Depot where I looked at every possible choice of
flooring. As Kelly says, "It's
beginning." I found some really
cool tile / stone flooring that I'm in love with and Dawne learned I like the
color of sage green. I pointed out that
Stella is totally sage green, though none of the paint colors quite matched
Stella. Several days later, Valerie came
over to visit (shortly after climbing Rainier - a feat I really have no desire
to ever do.) I had to take a picture of
her dress because it had the three colors I had envisioned in my living room -
proving that they work quite nicely together.
On Wednesday, Paisley and Jeff came
over, and Paisley made us a glorious dinner that we ate outside on the
deck. There were many laughs, which I
will attempt to summarize and share with you now.
Paisley's niece married a man she never
kissed. Apparently, this guy came out to
Idaho for a concert with a group of friends, which is where the niece met
him. Then, they chatting and facetimed
for a 6 months, got engaged, and then she flew to Seattle, and got married
without ever kissing. Apparently her
niece is very into eating organically, and after marrying and moving in with
her husband, she called Paisley and said, "He told me he liked Honey Buns,
but he REALLY loves Honey Buns. He buys
them in bulk, and that's the only thing he has in his pantry."
Jeff: When my brother graduated from
college my dad didn't have a lot of money, but he found a way to save and buy
my brother a car. My brother, religious
man that he is, turned around and donated it to the church. My dad was outraged. I bring it up all the time. I make fun of my dad because he hates
it.
Paisley: We went to see the Kurt Cobain
documentary and it as really amazing.
Dawne: I would have liked that.
Lucas: It's probably got a sad ending.
Jeff: Thanks for getting the cake!
Jordan: It was the least we could do
and we calculated!
Jeff: Whatdayagot there?
Jordan: Toaster Pastry.
Jeff: That ain't no Honey Bun.
Jeff, on getting their house ready for
the market: All that house needs is a good sellin'
Dawne: What happened?
Uncle Ray: Some moron dropped the pump
on my foot.
Jordan: First thing you do is fire that
guy.
Did I mention that Uncle Ray dropped
the pump?
We were talking about VR company and
how in order to really make a really amazing experience the product would come
equipped with a beer tube and catheter.
To which Jordan said, "They haven't figured out the ins and outs of
the thing, yet."
Paisley collects bath soaps from all
over and she keeps them in a big jar.
One of her friends brought her back a soap from Tahiti that smelled so
good that she hid it way on the bottom of the jar for later. A couple of weeks later, she found her soap
in her son's bathroom. Despite always
inviting her family to take what they wanted to use (she has all boys, and she
insists that "They like flowery soap.
I didn't force them to use it.) She had to tell her son that she wanted
her soap back.
Son: I took a long time to pick that
one out!
Paisley: I know! I was my soap.
Son: I wanna smell like Tahiti!
Paisley was telling us a story about
finding a ridiculous video on facebook that she then sent to her most staunch
and staid friend.
Jeff: Tell them how you found it.
Paisley: I was searching, "Pink
Fluffy Unicorns." I sent it to Bob
and liven up his day.
Jeff: We tease him b/c it hurts.
Then we were talking about burying St.
Joseph in order to sell your house, and Uncle Ray made fun of it. Paisley
responded, "It's not a superstition and I'd appreciate if you would say
that in my presence."
Paisley, about Nala: Do you put sun in
in her hair?
Me: Haha
Paisley: Seriously, do you?
On Friday, I got a surprise visit by my
brother-in-law's brother, James. We met
up in downtown Bellevue, and had some dinner and drinks. Then I took him for a quick spin around
Seattle. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen
him since our Godson was baptized, so it was super awesome to see him!
The next morning at breakfast
Dawne: I don't remember buying those
pants for you.
Lucas: That's b/c they are Eliza's.
Jordan: Are you saying you're trying to
get into your girlfriends pants?
Dawne: No, he's already in them.
I'm pretty sure this is a random quote
from Erin: My worst nightmare isn't being at school, it's no having shoes on
the train.
On Saturday afternoon we went to Katsu
Burger. It was like having a try new
things club without the TNTC dictator - and I missed Kelly. But also, it was really yummy, even if it was
twice the size of a normal type burger.
We finished up the week with a lot of
pool and boat time which suits me just fine.
