Sex and the City :: Upon re-hashing the details of my most recent date, a friend asked if I’d ever watched Sex and the City. Truth: I had never seen a full episode. Shortly thereafter, like a good Seattlelite, I went to the public library website and placed a hold on the first season DVD of Sex and the City.

This week, at long last, I received an email that the DVD was available. I picked it up and confession: I watched the entire first season in one week. And, I’m hooked.

The above meal was consumed one night this week with my laptop open in front of me playing episode after episode of Sex and the City. It was lovely. I’ve placed holds on Season 2, 3, & 4 and plan to spend those occasional dreary Seattle summer evenings in a similar manner.

Rope Baby :: I know, I know, I know. The last thing I wrote was about a tent and now I’m writing about a climbing rope. I might as well succumb to a destiny of living in this state for the rest of my life.

But, people! I own my very own climbing rope and I went climbing outside this weekend – just me and my brother and my brand new rope baby.

We didn’t die. We did climb and climb. And also drove and drove. To both Cashmere and Vantage.

This new hobby has been like 6 years in the making for me. I can’t believe I own all the things and have all the skills to go outside by myself and not die. Ahhhhh, let me tell you – there is something about it, climbing that is, that makes me feel so very alive and smart and capable. Maybe I should feel those things all the time as they are probably true of me most of the time, but I guess if it take scaling rocks while hanging from little rope baby (and reminding my brother to pay attention to me!) to help me learn that they are deeply true than that’s okay for now.

Until I really believe them…or fall off a rock.

Last night

Last night I set up my new tent in my living room. Then, I turned on Mumford & Sons, got inside my tent and hung out for awhile. I was having so much fun I decided to sleep in my new tent in my living room. And, I loved it. Well, I loved it till about 3AM when I traded it for my bed in the next room.
