Hey-yo blog! It’s Friday, WordPress is alerting me that there is yet another update, I’m ignoring it, and here are some more pictures from our trip to Pike Place Market last Sunday.

This is a baby sweater, but that didn’t stop me from wanting it! FOR MYSELF.

I always ask before I take photos now, and the lady working at Milagros was trying to tell me that they don’t really allow photo taking, which is hilarious because every time I’m in there I take 10,000 photos and give them a million compliments and ALWAYS purchase something…except this time. I didn’t purchase a thing. Partially from not-working guilt, partially from Mr. Grumpypants being with me (Josh ran 20 miles that morning was was grumpy–excuse me, TIRED for the rest of the day). Mostly I just didn’t find anything at Milagros that I was obsessed with. For once.

I’m glad that the weather cooperated during my in-laws’ stay. You just never know, in April. All this week the weather has been shite, but next week the high on Tuesday is supposed to be 85. Say what?

This fountain is called “Father and Son”.

The giant head statue, called “Echo”, was my favorite sculpture at the Olympic Sculpture park.

What I thought was a sculpture of a giant wheel careening down the hillside is actually supposed to be a giant typewriter eraser, I was informed by my in-laws. Roops.

“We’re old enough to remember typewriters, aren’t we?” I asked Corinne.

“Electric typewriters,” she pointed out. Oh. That’s right. All that tippity-tapping I was doing before computers came into my life WAS on an electric typewriter, come to think of it.

There’s Joshy looking stoic behind an “eye” bench. He’s so quiet around his parents, a phenomenon you’d think I would have gotten used to after 10 years of being together but really haven’t.

“Nico was the same way,” I said to Corinne. “I don’t get it. I’m just…myself around my parents. Why isn’t everyone that way?”

“Some people have different relationships with their parents,” she shrugged.

True, but they’re missing out! What a shame.

Beautiful dogwood trees at the Sculpture Park.

These bright pink flowers also caught my eye.

This was the bouquet I picked out for 10 dollars at the Market. I’m sad to say, it’s been less than a week and it’s already wilting.

On Tuesday I went over to the Broad’s house to hang out before my support group meeting. Edward flirted with me, I gave the recently ill Novocaine lots of love, Seymour came out of hiding (but wouldn’t come near me), and Edna never appeared at all. Corinne has four cats but I only ever see three of them. We had a cheeseburger from Dick’s and fresh strawberry and whipped cream crepes, made by her tiny hands. Mmmmm.

Look at this little fuzzy puppy we met at the dog park this week awwwww!

This week’s documentary recommendation: “Lemmy”, about Lemmy, the (now deceased) lead singer of Motorhead. This was my favorite scene from the movie–Lemmy singing “Don’t worry, be happy” along with the mechanical fish in his bathroom (after flipping off the cameraman).

It seemed like I was having a GBD (Good Bangs Day) on Wednesday that needed to be documented before the dog park destroyed it.

Wednesday morning I went to the clinic for my “Suppression Check” ultrasound, to check for any cysts that might prevent my FET cycle from moving forward. Good to go! Next Friday I have another ultrasound that will determine the date of my FET! Squeal! Excitement!

The tulips that Josh planted in the front yard are coming up nicely.

Spotted at Corinne’s house.

Wednesday’s library haul. I had asked the librarian where the “humor” section was, but maybe I should have been more specific, because I ended up with a bunch of biographies. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! I already blasted through the anti-Scientology book, “Troublemaker”, which was NUTS. It’s hard for me to believe that it’s not fiction. Yikes. I’m thoroughly looking forward to the Erma Bombeck book, as I used to love her stuff when I was a little kid.

And then of course there’s “Things Organized Neatly”, heavennnnnnn.

I have work lined up next week and (possibly!) the week after as well, hooray! Josh and I have a race scheduled for tomorrow…more about that later. Have a fabulous weekend, blogeroos!
