Oh no, come back. It will still be entertaining.
Stay with me now.
I told K the other day that I've been sleepy and pretty grumpy, and overall unmotivated to do anything.
He responded, "Have you blogged lately?"
I knew he was right. That's what was missing. Its as essential to my life now as water and puppy kisses. I'm a blogger and even if I don' t have a fan base (I'm not sure that's what this is all about anyways), writing down our everyday happenings and experiences is part of who I am.
So, here's what has been happening:
Last weekend (I mean, two weekends ago) was bananas. I'm going to post seperately about our super duper anniversary. Its too great to be smushed into a catch-up post. Last weekend (shit, I haven't blogged for awhile), we celebrated Easter in a new way (Spring List, check!), and it was all about the eggs.
Oh yeah, N and I displayed our crafty bad asses and made these beauties:
Wrap silk ties around eggs, cover with white cloth, boil as usual, and amazing. We couldn't stop looking at them. Seriously, I'm still proud.
But, I can't linger on that because this can't be too long of a post.
No, seriously, aren't they amazing? We couldn't take our eyes off of them and it was almost too painful to peel them.
After an egg hunt orchestrated by my Dad (no shame on my part, I'm a young 26), we spent Easter at N's parent's house. They had appetizers, wine, a table decorated with vintage tablecloth and plastic eggs, spinach and strawberry salda, blackberry crumble, and warmth that I'm not sure I could replicate. I hope we started a new tradition, and not just because that was a goal on my Spring List.
And the view?
Ha, that was a pinch-me-oh-yeah-I'm-back-in-Washington moment.
The air has finally shifted here, indicating Spring has arrived. It was in full force on Easter and really hasn't let up since. K went back home for two weeks and when he came back, boom green everywhere. Light green I should say, as its pretty green here all year long. This turn of the season is producing lovely seedlings of radishes, peas, beans, onions, and lettuce (I'm doing very well with my Spring List this year, eh?). Nothing to eat yet, but watch out June. I think I will put off growing a tomato until next year. Mainly because people around here laugh at me when I say I'm going to start them from seeds.
While K was gone, I realized what my life would be as a single woman. Oh no, not expensive shoes, steamy love affairs, and late nights with my girlfriends. That would't be me. Instead, I would stay at home and hang out with my parents, and if I wasn't hanging out with them, then just my dogs, and all of this hanging out would make me exhausted and I'd go to bed every night around 930. I should be praising the heavens for my husband, because my boring self probably couldn't snag someone else.
Still, we hit up a cool farmers market, and "we bought a zoo" is a pretty good movie. It made me cry, alright?
I picked K up at the airport on Friday. Its always strange to go back to an airport to pick each other up, because the first year of our dating life was all about that. Now, instead of parting ways in a crowded group of insanely stupid people, we get to just resume life as it were. No more tears and heart wrenching good-byes, no more being that girl in line at security looking back and back and back.
Now, its all, "Where are you? The parking here is expensive, hurry up!"
Still, its always good to be reunited. Especially when you don't hit rush hour traffic and get to go to the Tides for lunch afterwards.
That's it. That's all that I failed to blog on. Pathetic
