Highlights

No, this is not a post about my hair. I have not touched my hair in at least two months (I think). It's probably some kind of record.

I am referring to the highlights of my recent escape to Seattle. So here they are, in no particular order:

1. Eating Gra Tiem at my favorite Thai place.

2. Cuddling with Paquito, JC and S's parrotlet.

3. Drinking tea whilst having a House marathon with L and E, my former flatmates and current best friends.

4. Singing along with the various Digital Cable music stations with L, E, and CG. Stations with the most wear? 80's, 90's and Arena Rock. Favorite sing-a-long? Total Eclipse of the Heart. E has video. Awesome.

5. Bleu cheese stuffed baked figs. Eat that, Gourmet!

6. Not touching a computer for a week.

7. Playing a homemade version of Time's Up with a hyper Cambodian.

8. Reassuring a friend that breaking up with someone does not make you a jerk.

9. Discovering that I don't fit in with a crowd of screaming girls/women at the first show of the So You Think You Can Dance tour. Ears still ringing....

10. Sleeping in.

It was a great vacation - I actually got to relax and be with people I love, which makes for the best kind of trip.

Now if I could just get caught up on sleep....

YES. I am not obsessed with figuring out if I can have a bird in a household of cats. (and of course, quality time with Paquito's owners was awesome too :) )

I mean now, not not.

Isn't the bird loud? How is not touching a computer for an ENTIRE week a highlight? I am not sure I would make it through...

The parrotlet is like a parrot, but it's smaller and MUCH quieter. He does make noises and will learn to talk, but has isn't as loud.

And yeah, for once, being away from a computer was a good thing. :)

I love that you did a search on "because wooden shoes" and came up with me. I need to get me a pair now.
