Weddings and the Dances that do not Relate
Oh, and the side explanation of my friend that is getting married--her name is Amy, but I've called her TT since..high school I think? Basically TT stands for Terminator Trudnowski because when she wasn't paying attention to her stance sometimes it just looked like she was ready to whoop some ass. You'd have to see it to understand. Anyways, so TT's new last name is Papajohn (also fun!) but you can see that that would now make her nickname TP, or, toilet paper. In high school she had all of her friends sign a t-shirt that she brought in and I had constructed a little poem that went something like "When TT goes PP she uses TP" and included a little sketch of a roll of toilet paper. Was it prophetic? No, but it amuses me nonetheless.
Last week I was walking to the bus stop and a homeless gentleman, rather than asking for some cash, asked me..."sweety, do ya have yourself a debit er credit card I could borrow?" It was very difficult to say no with a straight face. I was definitely thrown off by his question, but I thought it was funny and with the times. How many people really have a lot of cash on them nowadays anyhow?
Poor little Gev got kicked off of So You Think You Can Dance last week. Here is his last dance. 40 more seconds of your life (but worth it!!).

Mt. Rainier



After Mt. Rainier we went to Randle to eat (which is where Dan lived for 4 years). Then we drove a long way out of the way to a road that was supposed to lead to Spirit Lake so we could see the destroyed car and the other iconic sites of the Mt. St. Helens blast, but we arrived at that road and it had gates across it saying the road was closed. That really sucked, but at least the ride was beautiful. Some of the not so beautiful things we saw were a biker who had his spandexy suit front all zipped down exposing his chest which should have really been left covered and a women that looked to be in her mid 50's at a scenic viewpoint that felt the best attire for being on a drive would be a swim suit.

Reid taking the map from me to try to prove me wrong (I couldn't find something and said it wasn't on there). It wasn't on the map. I won.

Goodnight General
This morning I started to ride the bus again. Gas is too expensive so I gots myself a bus pass. There is a park and ride about 6 minutes from the house. Well, not so much as an official park and ride as a church parking lot that allows commuters to park there on the weekdays (not like they're using the lot, right?) which I find very nice. It's about a half hour bus ride and I'm very happy I don't get motion sickness so I can read while on the bus. Also, its really nice to not have to pay attention to rush hour traffic.
Yesterday the temperature was in the mid 80's so Reid and I took the puppies to the creek that's behind the house. Its not directly behind the house as you have to take a few different roads to get there, but it is in the same general direction. Kona loved it, not a surprise. Zoey loved it too! It was very cute. She forged the creek like a champion and was very proud of herself. She was almost to the point of swimming. Not on purpose of course, but she had a tendency of just walking and not watching where she was going so she would be hitting deeper parts on accident and hence almost swimming.
I have a lot of pictures from Georgia that I didn't post--mostly out of laziness and how a lot of pictures I take need an explanation of some sort. Maybe I'll post them. No promises. While Chrissy and I were in Georgia Reid let me use his flickr account. I have my own special folder just for that vacation that you are welcome to look at HERE
