weekend getaway

Last weekend we went to stay with Jacob's mom in Brinnon. (his dad was in Colorado visiting his mother and other various family members) I would have visited with my family but my sister A) forgot I was coming, B) never called me back friday night until way later and my phone was out of service range, and C) my phone died before I could call her again.

Anyway, it was a very relaxing weekend. Jacob got up about 9 on Saturday and hung out with his mom and his laptop. I stayed in bed until 10. We went to eat lunch at the Timberhouse restaurant. It was soooo yummy. They have the best cheesy bread with garlic, sun dried tomatoes, and green onion. After we awoke from our food comas, and my food baby stopped kicking, we went to Rocky Brook Falls. Jacob put in two more climbing bolts while I repelled down a previous route and cleaned all the loose rocks and moss out. I used to be terrified of repelling. Actually, I hate being lowered when someone else is belaying me. Repelling is fun because I am in control of my speed of descent. I guess I really am a control freak. huh

Saturday night we went to bed at 8.We slept until 7 Sunday morning. Jacob really needed the sleep as he had been on nights the previous two weeks and didnt sleep much during the day due to his 7 roommates. I was just happy to have so much cuddle time that I was willing to go to bed before I was ready. We lounged around most of the morning. We went back to Rocky Brook so Jacob could finish the last bolt. We got on the road fairly early for us. We were home by midnight when we usually get home around 3-4 am. Jacobs mom also made a super duper yummy dinner for us on Saturday. We were hoping to pick some apples from his parents orchard but those darn elk already stripped the trees bare. We also were hoping the eggplant his parents planted were ready so we could make ratatouille. I decided we needed to try it after seeing the movie. Guess now we will have to buy some.

Work is super stressful. They are removing positions in the store through attrition. The lady in charge of cosmetics switched to Pharmacy which means I inherited the cosmetics department. Now i have twice as much work to do. Its so frustrating. I cant get another job that will pay me what i am making now so I have to just deal with it. It has been a very long week.

My mother is coming to spend the weekend with me. We will be garage saleing in Lewiston, making pottery, watching movies and relaxing. It should be a fun weekend. Next weekend is the womens retreat at church. I am not sure how it will go. Hopefully better than last year. We will see. I have met a lot more women in the past year from bible studies and church in general. Hopefully that will help make it more enjoyable.

In October we will be going to the west side at least once if not twice. I decided jacob is going to carve pumpkins with me for our front porches. He plays along with my holiday instructions very patiently and willingly. That is about it i guess. Nothing else too exciting.

I had to buy a new battery for my car. It kept not wanting to start. Speaking of car batteries....I had one leak acid all over me at work this week. I got a free pair of pants out of the deal. A really cute pair I had been thinking about buying. Since it was a work related accident, they paid for me to get a new pair of pants. I had to change out of my other ones right away cuz of the whole caustic element of acid. I didnt notice until way later that night that it was on my shirt as well. Nothing like realizing you are showing a huge amount of skin in a room full of guys. Luckily Jacobs roommates are tactful.
