He's going in

The guys first attempt to a kiss and all I could give him was my nose. Classic, right?

But really who wants to kiss when you have acid in your throat and chapped lips.

Though the view from Kerry park was lovely. Definitely a place to share a moment. I actually called the place "magical".

I am full of cheese.

I wanted to kiss him. But there is this fear that if it comes too soon, that everything will change dramatically. I want slow moving...I want a relationship of rock. Boo yah stinking yeah!

The things that occur on my first date

Went to the thai cottage, which happens to be my favorite restaurant.

I did not get my window seat.

I hate being stuck in between two couples.

Feeling comfortable, with a little bit of ancy.

Conversation was good, like I had expected. Of course I say stupid little jokes.

After the food has been boxed, I reach over to grab it and end up knocking my thai iced tea glass over. The glass breaks into about a dozen pieces. THe entire restaurant stops and looks at the ruckus. Luckily my entire arm caught it all. Don't worry my arm is fine.

Keep talking. He mysteriously has already paid. We think its about time to leave.

I am still embarassed about the breaking of the glass.

The sun is setting. Start to walk to the waterfront. I accidentally ram my arm against the bar fence and break the skin. It hurts.

Get to the light next to Washington Federal Savings and see his parents in the truck. I thought he was joking, but it was his parents. Gee, first date and I already meet his parents. I was not prepared for this.

Get down to the water just in time for the sunset. Right as we sat down the sun was gone. What a moment.

chit a chat about our scars. The similarities between us are killing me. I need to drop my food off. No one needs to eat spoiled food.

Decide that I want a coconut because I have never had one before. Go to QFC...nothing. But then we realize that we both need to pee. We both actually had to pee when we were at the thai cottage. The restroom is locked. It says to push hard....nothing!

We go to the PCC market across the street and find my coconut. Bathroom first. Good times. I get my coconut and he gets his juice of the night. We see a bear yield sign. Random!

I try to smash my coconut. Its leaking. We go back to my car and get my crowbar. Stick it in the crack and yank. A chunk comes out. THen I stab. We broke surface! I drink up and he gets grossed out because he hates coconut. It was yummy but different. We are still sitting on the parking block. People are starting to wonder.

We decide to go back down to the waterfront...by the underwater store. Sit on this bench. See some fish poachers.

He sees 4 shooting stars and I only see 1. How lame is that? He gets four wishes. Not fair!



Chit chat until 12:30...where has the time gone? Besides all of my mishaps, I couldn't have asked for a better date.

The day ended in a bad note

The little seal pup took its last breathe today.

Guess what we found?

Just yesterday, something appeared on our beach. I was not able to see the creature at first because it was so beautifully camouflaged. The patterns on its fur were magical against the sand. When I was finally able to focus my eyes on the creature it became clear to me that it was a harbor seal pup. Apparently its mother had dropped the little guy off so she could go hunting. Who knows when she will be back. She sure dropped him in the worst possible place ever. My beach, which is infested with blood thirsty canines - lets just hope that the dogs are sweet little lassies and not rabid little yellers.

DUMB move of the day:

One of my neighbors decided to get a stick and push the helpless little pup back into the water. Hmmm, I am sure that I want to be pushed into the water by a stick. How will the mother find her baby if you shove him back into the water? How will the seal be able to fend for himself? do you think he was trained in the art of ka-ra-te?


Luckily, today we found the seal pup on the beach again (much closer, in fact). He was actually 30 feet from our benches. He looked a lot healthier too. I wonder if it was the same pup we saw yesterday. It is the most adorable pup :) I hope mama comes back soon. People put up shovels around the little guy, with signs to warn people not to come near or move him. We were told that you aren't allowed to be close to a pup (300 feet I believe). That is a little hard, as you can imagine.


A dish washer no no

You remember Freaky Friday, with Jodie Foster, where she dumped too much detergent into the washing machine and it overflowed? Well I had one of those moments, except I caught it way before. I decided to put palmolive dish washing fluid into the dishwasher since the powder was out. Apparently that is a no no.

Why does it say on the bottle, "for dishwashers".

Maybe they should have reworded it, "used only for hand dishwashing".

Well I put the fluid into the tray, pressed the normal wash button, and 2 minutes later this white foam starts to pour out of the bottom. HEHE, I freaked out in my own little way. "snap it" I turn it off and get some towels to clean the mess. I open the washer and see the extent of my problem. I decided to let it run (The bubbles have to go somewhere, right?...I got some trays to gather the foam, so my parents wouldn't go Buzzurk. Well I watched the bubbles storm out of the machine for about 15 minutes. When the last cycle came on _DRY_ I was overjoyed!

LESSON: Palmolive is not for dishwashers!
