Wedding Peach 

Yesterday (Saturday) I gratefully slept in until almost 11:00. Carrie had left the house at 10:00 for to go to the Trader Joe's shopping. She also stopped by the Great Harvest bread place and picked up a cinnamon roll. So when she came back I took all the groceries inside and then ate the cinnamon roll with her. As well as some of my leftover pizza from the night before.

Fantastico was finally getting used to Bea, and in fact the two were playing together in a limited capacity. Fantastico developed this ninja move where she would lie on her back and reach her forearms up over her head and then propel herself along the ground with her hind legs. It was crazy but awesome. Fantastico would still come to her senses and start hissing and growling every once in a while, though.

We watched The Soup on E! and then I shaved and took a shower. My neck was all bloody from the shaving! Hooray for shaving!

I got dressed in my finery and then we went to Target to buy a gift bag for our wedding gift (which Carrie had also picked up at Trader Joe's), as well as some deodorant and hair spray for Carrie. She also grabbed a couple of tops that might look nice. But she didn't end up using them so she'll prolly take them back.

Yeah, so we came back home and Carrie went to get ready, and I wrote yesterday's entry in this here website. Around 3:30 Chris Gouker came by with a manly tool and took a look at the sink to see if he could figure out how best to hook up the new diswhasher to it. We're going to need to go to Home Depot today to get a new part for it.

When we were all almost ready to leave Heather called about picking up Bea. We were practically on our way out the door, but they have a key to our house (on account of they usually house sit for us when we're gone), so they swung by and snagged Bea out from our dirty clothes basket and took her back to their apartment. 'Bye, Bea! We'll come visit!

So Carrie & I went in Chris's car up to Seattle, where the wedding was happening aboard the Virginia V. We got there, however, about 45 minutes before they were letting people on the boat. So we sat in Chris's car; Chris & I played video games on our phones and Carrie took a li'l nap. Eventually they let us on.

The original plan was to have the wedding on the foredeck of the boat, but since this is Seattle it was of course rainy and windy. So the ceremony was moved inside. It's a cool boat, but there wasn't anywhere to sit, really. There were only two tables that didn't have the food on them. Oh, and there was a tonne of cheeses on the food tables. That was real good.



Anyway, the boat left at 6:00 and got back to the docks at 9:00. We helped load stuff into Cristy's mom's car, so Chris went and got that car and drove it up to the dock while I went and got Chris's car and drove it up to the dock. Chris has really freakin' long legs. I was operating those pedeals with my tip-toes.

Cat talked the whole way back to Tacoma and was uproariously entertaining. It was almost 11:00 by the time we got back home, so we went straight to bed, and didn't have to worry about locking Bea up in the bathroom. Fantastico was plenny happy about that.

Hello,

I've added a link to this blog entry from my blog, The MHN Blog, which is based here in Seattle. Thanks for pointing out a great maritime heritage resource in the Virginia V.
