catch up

I'm sooooo behind on LJ. Twitter has become my preferred form of blogging lately, mostly for convenience sake. This is the first leisurely day I've just sit around in front of my computer messing around and relaxing. Feels really nice.

September was very busy. Things I did:

Went and saw Mike Daisy and Reggie Watt with jillbertini . (Fun).
Finished watching The Wire with lara7 . (Loved it!)
Went fly fishing with my retired friends J. & S. (Relaxing).
Did a little sewing with marssaxman . (Tiny bit of mending).
Had dinner with juliebata and holyoutlaw before they moved.
Went camping with marssaxman and A.
Went bowling (and was given a hard time about my perfectionism...so many 9s!)
Watched Atonement. (Good, but not great).
Watched Lars and the Real Girl (Sweet).
Went backpacking with friends H. and P. at Mt. Baker. (Exhausting, but great).
Went to lara7 's housewarming party.
Had dinner with an old coworker.
Flew to California where I did bridal party things, including: rode in a Hummer limo (to my mortification), soaked in mud at a spa, got my nails done with the rest of the bridal party, got an updo, and was in my brother's wedding. Also saw lots of family, and took a surfing lesson.

Since I got back Monday night, I have:
Watched Be Kind Rewind (sadly not as good as I hoped).
Watched Dan in Real Life (Disney family drama for adults...a bit lame).
Watched Rocket Science (maybe good if you are a debate nerd).
Hosted bookgroup at my house...made avocado spread, bought Tres Leches cake.
Had lara7 , juliebata , G., capn_jil  and friend over for leftover cake and nachos.

Plan for today:
Get 8 bags of potting soil and compost out of trunk.
Weed and compost garden.
Run errands in Renton.
Go swimming.
Dinner and Sigur Ros with a Yelp friend.

Hoping to downshift a bit, and relax more this month!
