And enjoying the tropical weather while I'm at it...

So after a pretty shitty morning of dealing with some stuff, I turned that frown upside down and made the most of it. A huge thanks to Guy who helped me hit the reset button by accompanying Makiah, Buckley (his dog) and I down to Gasworks for some dog playing fun. The weather was sunny and nice - and I was able to vent some of my morning to him.

I also baked an apple pie with all of the granny smith apples I got from a gift basket.

Every Monday a great group of people get together at Jamie, Riain, and Ella's house (aka the Clubhouse) for flow yoga followed by a dinner feast. The wine and conversations were flowing - and after pie and Molly Moon's ice cream the dancing began! At one point the neighbor came over and told us to quiet it down - so we turned it down a couple decibels and continued to get our groove on. It felt so good to dance around and have some fun with friends. Adrian and Dan were both sporting their undies and cow boy boots - and I'm sure there are pictures to share...

And someone totally captured me laughing at myself after crashing right in front of the barriers at Starcrossed. Funny, at the time I was thinking, "I hope no one saw it - what a dumb ass! Ha ha ha!" Ryan used to crack up when we'd go skiing because I would often crash out and howl at myself. He'd come check on me only to discover me unable to get back up because I would be laughing so hard. On Saturday it was the same howl - just a different sport. I don't think I had laughed that hard for a couple weeks!

It was really nice to end the day on such a high note.

Jen,
I meet you at Master Natz; just read about your husband and was directed to your blogspot. My condolences; sometimes life makes no sense--Those who leave and those who stay. You'll make it through this...

That is hilarious (the dancing part). And I'm really proud of you Jen for staying so strong and we admire your emotional honesty throughout the last couple weeks. Being able to ready your blog has been so great, and whether you're having a crappy time or a fun time, you don't pretend something is different than it is. We care about you very much and think of you daily. If you have time this week or next, we'd love to get together to do whatever. But just so you know, Seattle doesn't allow babies in bars. Lame, we know. --Cassie
