Friends are Good, but Sometimes, so is silence...
It's been busy around the house lately. We've had house-guests for four of the lasts five weekends. First Tony was in town, which was great, then we had a weekend off before Titus & Victoria came up (also great). The following weekend my sister was here (it was, er, great... I gotta find a different word), and last weekend Vince and Donna dropped in on us (a, hell with it, I've come this far - that was great too).
Which brings us to this weekend...
Today I met Scott for lunch at Uwajimaya - we had lunch in the store (good Chinese food) and spent a bit of time roaming the Asian cookie aisle before parting ways. I walked out with about $11 worth of unreadable stuff, (well, some Pocky, but the rest of it I had no idea what it was).
Then Steve was in Seattle on business (visiting my office, no less) and after our meeting we grabbed a quick dinner at Casuelitas before he hopped in a cab for the airport. I got back to work, finished up a few things, and caught the 7:20 boat home.
Despite it being the third Friday of the month, and hence a regularly scheduled game night, I got home to a mostly empty house - just Dawnise and the cats. I broke out the Asian treats, and Dawnise and I just finished sampling. The winners this time are "crunchy doughnut toes" - sorta like a Cheeto crossed with a Taco-Bell cinnamon twist. The Chocolate mushrooms with cookie stems were a close second, tied with the miniature rice-cake-things. We saved the caramel and almond crush Pocky for a time when Brad and Kat are here - Kat's a big Pocky fan.
Dawnise's mom just called - so Dawnise is wandering around the house with her cel phone. When she's done, we'll likely make some tea and relax a bit.
The amazing part is, we have no plans for the weekend.
None.
No guests.
No events.
Nothing at all.
I'm quite looking forward to it.
