Notes from the Field
I went to Giant before work and bought chicken and stuffing to make dinner with and then I got to work and remembered I have 6 packets of frozen chicken breasts in my freezer at home. Undercaffeinated FTW!
Friday, stentoriansista and I grabbed a quick dinner at Ella's Wood Fired Pizza (and I mean quick - we were in and out in half an hour! WTF mate?) and then saw Peter & Wendy at Arena Stage. Loved. Loved loved loved. Even if I had to run into that employee we fired (and then he blogged about it). I, being a giant wimp, didn't actually talk to him and talked to the other chick working that day. But the show was wonderfully done and a joy to watch.
Saturday we slept the day away and then biked to the zoo and wandered around. There were golden tamarinds with babies on their backs, pandas, sea lions, woogy octopi, capybaras, pygmy hippotomi and some incredibly overpriced food. It was also extraordinarily hot and we were kinda dehydrated and cranky. It didn't help that the bike home was almost entirely uphill and we were tired. Then we made salad, watched some Atlantis and went to bed early, where I proceeded to sleep another 12 hours after being up for about 12 hours.
Yesterday, we had some much needed pancakes, went to Target and then saw the last PotC movie. Verdict was mostly squee with unsatisfying ending. Also, if you see if, be sure to wait through the credits for that final scene after the credits thing that's becoming the norm (much to my annoyance - I don't like credits!). Went back to my house where I made stentoriansista hang things for me - now I have curtains! And hooks! And wine racks from last August hung! It was awesome except for when an anchor attacked stentoriansista's eye. That was not so much awesome. And then we ate the last of my calzones and watched the Corpse Bride, which was a lot of fun.
It was, aside from the whole eye thing, a most excellent weekend, which was lovely and charming and reminded me how very much I love this other person and want to attack her with hugs and the like. It's nice having that as a reminder.
If you'll excuse me, I should be the workings now.
Also, stentoriansista and I ate three pounds of cherries in two days. It's cherry season again. This is most excellent.
