Sunday…
Sunday...It's been a good weekend so far. Friday at 3pm almost my entire team went down to Ivar's for drinks and appetizer. We ended up staying there till about 8:30pm. It was a lot of fun. Because I have been living so far away, I have missed these types of outings. It was great to be able to hang out with my co-workers and see a different side of them outside of the office. It was even better to be able to walk a block and catch a bus to get home! Even though I was a little schnockered (okay really schnockered) I didn't have to worry about it. I didn't have to think about sobering up for the drive home once I got to Tacoma. All I had to do was get on a bus and walk myself the three blocks to my house on the other side! It was great. As was the conversation. I feel like these are really people I can continue to work with, if I am able. Though I know that a few of them are thinking of moving on. If they do - I wish them the best of luck. Cause in reality the people that I have butted heads with the most aren't going to be sticking around for that long. At least I hope not!!!
Yesterday I drug Freeman out of bed again and we went walking around downtown Ballard a bit. I still have a lot to explore, but it was nice to get out and walk a bit. We then stopped for some PHO soup at this great little place that just opened. It was good soup - and the portions were pretty large for not much money. I think it was $11 for the both of us. We found this great little tattoo shop. And now I am thinking once again about the 3rd tattoo that I have been pining for. But I don't feel the need to get it just yet. I know that I will eventually, but not yet. I don't think that I need it just yet.
After lunch I went over to West Seattle to visit Maggie. We went to Alki beach and walked around for awhile. It was fun - walking a long the beach and bitching about our various issues. I asked her a question - when she "grows up" what kind of house does she want to live in? Her answer was so prompt. And that got me to thinking too. I need to plan more for the future. I know that I had stopped doing that, when I couldn't handle thinking about it anymore. It seems that time for that has come again. I need to decide what I want when I grow up and start planning!
Yesterday was beautiful! After walking on the beach and stopping at the Lighthouse for a beer - we headed back up to her place where she made pizza and this amazing chocolate chip cheese cake. I had the smallest slice and thought I was in heaven! It was good. We watched "Anger Management" and started on "Pirates of the Caribbean" when she started falling asleep (and I wasn't to far behind her) I came home. It was fun hanging out. I missed being around people, just being around, not necessarily doing anything, just being around.
So - Today it is supposed to be 72 degrees. I don't have any plans as of yet - and I am thinking that the bathroom is calling me to clean it, and my laundry is calling me to do it. But I am also thinking of taking a little trip down town and dropping off some boxes that someone lent to me. I guess we will see after breakfast. Freeman invited me over for waffles (a change up from all the eggs we have been eating. His mom gave him about 4 dozen eggs... He needs help eating them.) After breakfast we will see what I end up doing. Probably nothing to write home about... But maybe I will Blog about it anyway

As you wake in the morning
What do you feel?
Does a rush of happiness
wash over you when,
Suddenly, you realize you are alive?
