Tiffany’s Corner

So, It’s Sunday night and the weekend is pretty much over. Boy, it sure was a busy one! Saturday was a really nice day here in the PNW. It was forecasted that it was supposed to get near 70 degrees, so almost everyone was out trying to enjoy it.

Me? I enjoyed sleeping in and had just finished getting dressed when I got a call from my husband (who regretably has to work on Saturdays) telling me that his father was in the hospital.   So most of my Saturday was spent in the waiting room of the ICU with my in-laws. I don’t really have much of an update on my father-n-law’s condition, except to say that he is resting and that we plan to go and see him again tomorrow.

Saturday night James and I had house-guests. Two of my bestest girl friends, Katie and Ang came up from Des Moines and crashed at our place. They say they were here to see our Pastor friend be offically installed as head of First Baptist Church downtown, but I know they were really up here just for ME!

Here is a pic of Ang, Me, Becca, and Katie (clockwise):

Anyway, Saturday night we went out to Billy McHales for dinner and a few drinks. I had a very bitter yet strong Lemondrop with my BBQ pork sandwich. And yes, after a long stressful day it went straight to my head! Boy, did it feel good!

The evening was capped off by returning to my humble abode where the girls and I endulged in some A++ cinema in the form of JTT’s performance in Man of the House. Long live the days of Teen Bop magazine and posters of boys on your bedroom walls!

Sunday morning we went to FBC to see Pastor Jeff preach, great as always. I was suprised to see that the flowers (mostly pansies and daffodils) we had planted last September for my wedding were out in full bloom. It was beautiful, too bad I didn’t have my camera!

Lastly, we went to On Rice with a few of Katie and Ang’s guy friends and had a great time. Nothing better than deep fried veggies and plum sauce to bring an end to a very busy weekend!

Wow! How time flys by when your out havin fun! We had a very busy last few days.

Friday night started right after work ended at 6pm. James and I went to a  pizza resturaunt in town. Kind of a hippy place, but it was fun. I’ve only been there once before, so it was a treat. We dined on a very interesting pizza concoction of roasted potatoes, chicken, and balsamic vinegar syrup. Yep, I said syrup. Then we went to a local improv/comedy club and watched a somewhat funny show. I mean, I’d say it was 80% very entertaining. There were only one or two sketches where I was like, um, that’s not funny.

Saturday James had to work. I sat at home and watched the snow fall for about 4 hours. It was ridiculous! Who let’s it snow in March! Nonetheless, the end of March!! It’s spring for crying out loud! Anyway. So it snowed. I was sad because I had planned on going out garage-saling that day. Yes, I like to go to garage sales. I’m an old lady in disguise. Someday I will find a treasure in someone’s pile of junk! I just know it!

After the BLIZZARD OF TWOTHOUSANDEIGHT subsided I gathered myself up and headed to the mall for a hair cut and some birthday present shopping. James and I spent the evening with some friends (one of which was celebrating his bday). The majority of the night was consumed by the hosting couples’ adorable toddler daughter who proceeded to walk around the room stuffing little bits of paper and confetti between everybody’s crisscrossed legs. When she realized we didn’t find it as amusing as she did, she moved onto the stuffed animals. It was cute, you had to be there.

Sunday I was greeted by a voicemail message from my Dad giving me permission to meander my way out to my parents’ house in the woods to spend time with my little doggie brothers and sisters. You see, with 4 inches of snow on the ground, getting out to their neck of the woods can be a little tricky. But all was safe and clear, so as soon as church let out, I hit the road!

OH BOY! What a day! 7 little puppies, not to mention Sam (daddy dog), Dallie (mommy dog), and Jake (big bro) were all happy to have someone there to crawl over and drool on and most importantly give lots of wet sticky kisses to. What a wonderous 6 hours of puppy love. I wish that they would stay little and adorable and innocent forever. But alas, they are going to grow into their big dog feet in no time. So I am glad that most of them have future homes and families to go to soon!

Well I guess I will leave you with a few pics of my adorable babies. Yes, they are mine. I know they are going away soon. But until that I will claim them as my own!

Take care and may God bless you in your journey today.
