PUDATE!
okay, so i slacked off on updating here, and then i went to bend for a couple days. DUMB. but really, not much has been happening the past week. there was redcoat turncoat practice, lots of banana stand mixing (the ro sham bos and the woolen men), and of course the bend trip. i think there might have been a pugs practice in there too.
so on wednesday, alyssa and i took off to bend. we had to reschedule our anniversary-themed trip to bend on february 28/march 1 because the weather sucked then. luckily, the B&B owners are super awesome and let us reschedule free of charge. we went to the same B&B as last year and stayed in the same room (the secret garden). it was awesome. i love that place. they have thought of everything. great breakfast food, the room stocked to the brim with everything you could want (including HD satellite TV!!!!!), a hot tub, a closet full of movies, free beer, wine, pop, coffee 24/7 and they give you tons of privacy.
we've been exploring the B&B scene since our first anniversary in february 2006 and this is the first one where we just had to go back. bend isn't the most exciting city, but with lodging like this, it's worth the trip. seriously. it's rated the 4th best B&B in the US for a reason.
the owners jim and tracy are super nice people. they're also totally cool christians, like what you'd think christians should be like. they even supply some astroglide lube and various risque couples games, so you know they aren't the bad kind of christians. but you wouldn't even know they're super christian unless you watch the DVD about how the B&B came to be and read the guestbooks in the room. so i appreciate that. they probably don't even think alyssa and i are heathens because we're not married. amazing!
seriously, if you want to take a trip somewhere with yr bf/gf/wf/hsb/bro, that's the place to go. cricketwood B&B in bend. p.s. the king sized bed in the secret garden room is comfy as shit. alyssa and i have never slept better.
however, i missed my cats a lot while we were gone. luckily, mayhaw came out to our place on thursday to tend to them. i really don't like leaving our cats here alone. it freaks me out. not only do i miss them, but i just generally worry about them. we are going to maui in about ten days, and the cat issue is the one thing that is keeping me apprehensive about it. BUT, caitlin may take chowder (the "problem cat") in during that time, if the forthcoming trial visit works out. even though caitlin/mayhaw/maren will be looking after them while we're gone, i feel like i will be anxious about my cats the whole time i'm in hawaii.
one idea that alyssa and i have come up with is putting a webcam in our bedroom that we can access while we're in maui. the cats generally lounge on our bed the most, so that would be something to help the separation anxiety for us (mostly me) at least. but i'm seriously worried about leaving our cats for 10 days, even though there will be someone coming by every day. i just hope that won't get in the way of me having fun in maui.
