It has been almost 6 weeks since I have spent a weekend in Spokane. It felt a little strange not to be packing up my car or suitcase to drive or fly to the westside. As much as I miss my family and wish I could have seen them and my grandma, it was a little refreshing stay around town. I guess I didn't have much of a choice since I had to take the last of the West E (hopefully). Therefore, Friday night after a long day at school, Eric (an MIT friend) and I camped out at the Service Station till 10 pm, cramming in some studying! Saturday morning I set 3 alarm clocks for 6:00, 6:15 and 6:30 am. This was to avoid the slight possibility of me sleeping in an hour and showing up late to the test...Anyways, the test went well, I hope!
Saturday was spent doing some good ole' garage saling. Ebay and I scored 2 chairs for our new dining room table and I purchased two collector item Olympia Beer glasses. I still don't know why they were for sale and why they only cost 25 cents! After hitting up most of Spokane, we treated ourselves to Subway and successfully watched a whole disk of One Tree Hill. The whole day we were anticipating the arrival of Team Baylis (Tom and Linda). They finally arrived at about 5:30...and a couple hours later we rolled into Outback Steakhouse for a lovely meal. Not surprisingly, we made quite the scene. After getting kicked out for being too loud (just kidding), we stopped at Albertsons for a nice bottle of Bella Wine. Then Ebay and I accompanied Jimmy to his hour long shopping trip at Winco and ended the night watching Ratatouille.
Sunday was just as wonderful! I made a batch of bran muffins in the morning (my new, weekend routine), attended a wedding, hiked around Riverside State Park and even saw two porcupines, watched the OC...and of course...did HOMEWORK!
While I missed Tumwater...it was very nice getting to spend a weekend in Spokane.
yay! I can't wait to come up and spend some time with you girls
