Okay, so maybe it hasn't been that long, but my goal has been to post at least daily, so I've been slacking. The problem is, I've had pretty much no inspiration for blog posts lately. Life's been pretty boring minus going to Anacortes on Saturday. I guess I will write about that, but I'm not sure how much readers will care.
A part of Jesse's family lives in Anacortes and on Saturday, July 14th, the town had this yearly event called Shipwreck Day. They basically turn the main street of the town into a huge garage sale flea market type thing. Jesse and I didn't find anything that particularly caught our eye but it was nice to be walking around with his family and just getting out of the apartment. We brought Hiccup and there were lots of other dogs there; so many people had puppies, it was weird. There were also free kittens there and I had to resist the urge to take all of them home. I swear I'm going to be an animal hoarder when I'm older.
Jesse and I went to lunch by ourselves at this all-natural restaurant called Adrift. They had super good (but also super expensive) food. Some of the servers were really modified and I was really jealous of them. Not because of their modifications but because they were in a groovy little town that really didn't care about their tattoos and whatnot. Seattle is super chill about that sort of thing, but its immediate suburbs seem less-so. Or maybe it's just the company I'm working with? All I know is that I'm still constantly asked about my 'gauges' whereas in Seattle if you're not modified you seem to be the odd one out. But Anacortes is kind of a hippy funky little town with a lot of health shops and mellow people and I don't know, somewhere I would totally love to live. The only problem is Jesse's job only has locations in really urban areas in the Seattle area but Anacortes is over an hour from the closest branch of his job.
After lunch we went back to his mom's house and we all hung out (his mom, mom's boyfriend, grandma, sister, and nephew). Jesse and I forgot that we were going to be having burgers for dinner, so we had a second round of burgers but those were really good so no complaints there.
Later in the evening we went to the beach and hunted around for beach glass. We went to the same beach as I went to the first time I met Jesse's family last June. We also looked for beach glass on that day so it was kind of a cool 360, only this time we had a new addition to the family, Jesse's nephew Makai!
To wind down we all had ice cream or pie and then played a game of Yahtzee. Jesse and his grandma were on a total roll. Me, not so much. Jesse has this incredible luck and usually ends up getting TWO Yahtzees. I don't understand how he does it (well, I doubt he does either since it's a game of luck) but he won with over 350 points and his grandma was close behind him with just over 300 (and that's with only ONE Yahtzee!).
I made Jesse drive back home because I was tired and didn't know where I was going. He was not a happy camper, heh.
Sorry if this blog post was uber boring for you! It's all I really have to write about at the moment though.
Note: I will upload some pictures of some of the cool pieces of beach glass we found later this evening :)
You should post video's instead of text post, I suppose it'd be faster & less of a hassle. Plus your appearance is so sublime.
ReplyDeleteAwh thank you! I would like to upload some more videos, more particularly for reviews of products and stuff, but I still love typing paragraphs and paragraphs of stuff. I find it relaxing!
DeleteHi Samantha ! I live in Brazil and I follow your history with Jesse, I cried with the videos, especially in that you and Jesse first meet. I admire you, really. I love read your posts, your tweets, photos and all. Sorry if my english is so bad, but I had to said it to you :D
ReplyDeletePost your pictures (: Btw, nothing you say is boring haha. I love you. This blog is a bookmark on my computer.
ReplyDeleteHow could I said it to you ? Your posts are always awesome, its a pleasure to read your blog! I wish I visit Seattle..
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do as a job? :o
ReplyDeleteI wasn't bored reading this. As a matter of fact, I admire your posts. It is like you're telling the story to an individual, rather than a whole audience. I enhoyed the little bit about Anacortes. I live in Bartlesville, Oklahoma...pretty boring, so it's cool finding out about other places. I have a blog too & I'm like you, where I just can't seem to find inspiration. If you'd like to you're more than welcome to check out my little blog, Pieces of Katherine.
