101 update, Sam's visit, etc
I got a call today and I am going for an interview at St Francis Emergency Vet Hospital in Vancouver at 4 today. Woo! Crossing fingers...
We had a really good visit with Samwise over the last couple of days. We went to dinner with Foxy and Crash and Sam and got to meet Sam's cousin, who was the most bouncy adorable thing I have ever seen. Sam came home with us and we played Rock Band. I have never played it before, so it was fun. I scored a perfect 100 on expert singing "Still Alive" from Portal and I am decent at the easy level drums. :) It was alot of fun.
Monday we played some more Rock Band, and then me and Lauran went to Jason and Deana's for a chat, which was nice. Then back home and we went to Giuseppe's for dinner and then out to Beaverton to Uwajamiya and Kinokuniya Bookstore so that Sam could get the correct size of shirt and we could get ramune sodas and japanese candy. Then a quick stop over at Powell's Technical Books for Sam to find some book or other he was looking for. I found "A Child Called 'It'" on sale, so took that home with me. We then stopped at Voodoo Donut because Sam had never had them. We watched someone do the Tex-Ass challenge. He failed, but it was really fun to cheer him on. I got a McMinnville Creme and a Bacon Maple Bar, Lauran got an Old Dirty Bastard and a Bacon Maple Bar and Sam got a Diablo and an Oreo donut. We came home and we all got naked and sat in the sauna for about 45 minutes and then packed up Sam's car and he took off into the night.
Had a shower with the potato and spend a quiet evening at home. I read half of A Child Called It, and read parts of it to Lauran. It made him cry. We had some good hugging times and talked a bit about abuse and how sad people can make us. I had nightmares related to the book, but I was saving Lauran from the bad mother. It involved a flying car, it was pretty cool. Woke up this morning and got Lauran off to work and I got a call from St Francis to come in for an interview. I finished A Child Called It. I need the other two books now. :O
