Oh what a fabulous weekend!  Seattle was gorgeous outside, and although the entire city is very anti-air conditioning, it was the kind of weekend that makes people decide to move here.  Rain?  What rain?

Friday night I was supposed to meet the girls downtown at Fado, but the weather was screaming for drinks on a deck somewhere, so we met in Kirkland.  Mmmmm,  margaritas!!!

Saturday was as delicious as the day before.  Since I was working on a project in another building most of last week, I had to leave the dog at home.  NOT something she’s used to at all (I know, *sob*, *sob*, poor Chloe.  Tell me that after she craps all over YOUR house in protest).  The initial plan was to make it up to her by heading up to Marymoor park (this insane 16 acre off-leash dog park about 5 minutes from the house), but mamma needed a break too, and one without the potential of getting knocked over by muddy paws, licked upside the face or being bonked on the head by a tennis ball (not necessarily in that order).

So I packed up Chloe, a blanket, some water and my new boyfriend Kindle and headed for the park a few blocks up the road.

“IM GETTIN HAIRCUT, I PROMIZE”

 We set up camp under a huge evergreen tree and Chloe spent a few hours playing with every human and canine that came by while I attempted to spend quality time with Kindle.  God I love that thing.  As an only child I grew up with a book in my face.  No joke I have an entire dresser full of books instead of clothes.  So when Amazon came out with this new book reader, I knew I had to have one. 

“My new boyfriend”

And now that I have one, I totally want to marry it.  Is that wrong?
