*Sigh* I probably don't need to go on much more about that. It was so... whiney... we actually went back into the docks 15 minutes early. *Sigh*
In other exciting news, it's actually NOT raining at the moment but is expected to again momentarily. HOWEVER... If the weather report is correct, we should actually see 2 days of 80 degrees and sunshine this weekend!!!! Then it's supposed to go back to cool and rainy though. The rivers are higher than at any time since the Flood of 1996. Plants (including wine grapes, oh no!) are growing almost 2 months behind what's normal. We've also had a number of black bears wander into Portland and Vancouver in the past week or so. Tualitin Elementary School was closed yesterday as they tried to remove a bear hanging out on the playground! He was safely relocated back to the coast range, and another one hanging out in Vancouver was taken to the Mt. St. Helens area last night. Apparently the plants they usually eat are extremely slow to come out this year due to the weather, so bears are wandering into town looking for food. It's still snowing in Government Camp, too. Pretty much the weather here is still about the same as it was spring break.
Nice weather over the weekend would be particularly nice as we're supposed to be hosting Patrick's birthday party on Sunday, including some of Alisha's family (Patrick's soon-to-be inlaws that we have not even met yet). Patrick and Alisha have planned a wedding date in August 2012, but they're now talking of moving it up sooner. I don't think we're expected to come up with any cows, though. ;-)
The K103 radio DJ's are at Disneyland today! WANT!!! One more month and I will start planning my birthday trip next year. Gotta wait 'til we're in the 11 month window in order to do the plane tickets. We should have enough Alaska miles to get 3 free tickets I hope.
Yesterday I read with the 2nd graders, and now I want to know how that Goosebumps book ends, aaargh! Then I went to Ross to try and find some pants. Despite spending a couple hours trying on an entire cartload of stuff I came home empty-handed. Today.... hoping my Photographic Guide to the Birds of Namibia arrives today as scheduled. Before then I'm going to try to get myself to the gym, which I kinda haven't done in about a month. Between all the travelling (Hawaii and Massachusetts) and Grandma visiting, I've really gotten off track. Though Nick will also want to drive to school shortly. (Still trying to get enough practice in to get his license.) If I'm going to make it to yoga class I better run get ready now BYE!
