So the clock of summer is ticking and the days of schooling are drawing near. Less than a month until most of us head back to USF for orientation, yeeeeaaah!!!! Anyway, here's what I've been up to the past couple of days.
Friday: Well I received a new bike to bring back to school. It was my grandpas old bike but he got a new one for Christmas so I get his. It's lavender, has a furry seat and is a road bike. So epic. My mom and I went on a short little ride, it was majestic. I can't wait to go through Golden Gate Park on it. Now I just need a name. Suggestions?
Saturday: I woke up at the crack of dawn (aka 7am) and went garage sale-ing with my mom and sisters. Since my older sister is in the Navy, we decided to go to the Navy base and look at their crap. I don't know if any of you have every been on a military base, but it is intense, no Mt not in-tents, but it is a little city inside of these high security gates. They have multiple types of houses, apartments, bowling alleys, restaurants, grocery stores, starbucks and you could even buy a coach bag! (oh how I yearn for one of those puppies). It also turns out that the only thing that you can buy at garage sales is baby clothing. Since my older sis is preggers, it was a jackpot for her, but I did come away with some good things like a candle that's battery operated (so I don't burn the dorms down) and a little doohickey that allows me to take over the car radio with my ipod.
Sunday: My family and I headed to Olympia, WA (the state capital for you uninformed readers) for the farmers market. It was delightful. I had olive bread and Salmon Jerky for lunch.
Monday: I woke up before the crack of dawn (6am) and went hiking. I went with my grandparents (who are the informed and experienced hikers of the bunch), my mom, and Kelsey H.'s Mom, Pam, to beautiful Mt. Eleanor. It was great. It is one of the easier mountains to actually summit so that was quite nice to be able to say, "I climbed to the summit of a mountain today." Unfortunately I stored my hiking boots back in San Francisco so I hiked in Tennis shoes. Not the best idea because there was still snow and I had very little traction resulting in some very bruised and cut up legs. From the top of the mountain you can see Mt. Washington, Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, and all of the Olympics. All of the heavy breathing and loss of blood was worth it. In addition-I can barely move my legs 2 days later. All that elevation!! ahhhhhh.
Tuesday: My step-dad and I went sailing! He just began sharing this sailboat with a guy who has it moored in downtown Tacoma. It was really windy when we took the boat out. He hadn't been truly sailing in a long time and I know nothing about sailing and was very little help. There was one point when we were out in the middle of the bay and the boat was rocking back and forth doing it's little sailboat thing and my stepdad said "ok, so I am going to come about, what all that means I don't know, but it could be disastrous". Luckily we didn't die. It turns out come about is when the sails catch wind on the other side and you turn around...or something. I don't know. All I know is that I really didn't want to get dumped in the Puget Sound and had fun. haha.
Wednesday: My friends made fun of me for my lack of domesticity. It is sad. I better find a husband that likes to sew and cook........ahhhhahahahahaahahaha. Also, vote Larry Sequist for State Rep. hahahaha.
