rocks
yay! got loverly rocks today- the thing that has always bummed me out about rocks is how much better they look wet. I went through about 2 years in middle school of being Very Serious aboutbeing a geologist- I started a Natural History museum in our basement, used to tumble rocks, chipped garnet crystals out of the huge rocks in Central Park, etc. I was a rock nut. And I still couldn't get over that the gorgeous rocks I'd collect at the beach would turn dull when they dried off.
Anyway my sister and I collected about 90 today from Lake Washington so we should be in good shape- we also got the wire we need and about a third of the alligator clips. I was up until 1 am last night making stuff- I'm on a crafting binge over here. It's pretty fun really. And today we majorly cleaned up since the ILs are coming over in just a bit to take us to the RD spot to taste the food. Not for dinner mind you, for an early afternoon tasting. It's so nice to have a clean apartment again.
Tomorro I'm going in for an alteration to my dress and to shop for a bunch of the other last minute things we need (buckets, ribbon, cameras, etc). A friend asked what I was doing for the long weekend and I had no idea it even was a long weekend this weekend. It's weir dnot working and having your days run together- at least in school I had a sense of what was going on.
No plans for the 4th really- I'll probably try to talk Brian into going to one of the many outlook spots where you can see fireworks on the Bay, or on Lake Union. They're beautiful and it's usually fun, but not all that exciting. The 4th has always been a low-key holiday for my family since my birthday is right after it and I think it'll be similar this year.
I'm finding myself posting over here in LJ more than on the WC which is kind of weird- I don't know why. I don't have privacy issues really, and I'm not averse to the WC, I just tend to come here first and then I don't want to post again or whatever. I'm reading along with my friends over htere, just not posting in my own journal.
Oh and presents are arriving! It is SO hard not to open any- man. I know I'll be glad when we finally do get to open them but sheesh I feel like I'm 4 again I'm so excited.
