She urinated on oceanedge's laptop, at least it wasn't the new netbook, or else she would have dreamed of being kicked out.
Last wednesday after I got home from work, we locked the boys up and opened the back door and walked her out. You must remember that we have a feral colony outside Dexter's parents. And it appears that Mommy cat or Emma is kicking Circe's butt. We have only seen Circe a few times. Today we saw her in the front yard and I put some wet food out. Amir ran to the window but didn't say anything...

Then we saw star trek - it was awesome.
Saturday morning I picked up a Prius at SEATAC and Shawna and I finished the south sound yarn crawl and two store on the north, including a great ferry ride.

Sunday we finished the northsound with Tana in tow- and got home by 3pm.
Prius 9 gallons of gas 362.5 miles, yippee well worth the rental price....(well kind of, but at least I dont feel guilty for the dinos we used.)
Monday I went to work and David went upstairs to work with Albert via web programs. Three kids broke our back kitchen window, let themselves in and stole david laptop off the couch and was working on my xbox in the guest bedroom. When David walked in on them. He chased them out of the house and down the street. Apparently there were many break ins in the neighborhood so they borrowed sherifs from renton and caught a few kids... Tomorrow David goes and sees if he can ID some of the punks. Good news we have the money to fix the window if we decide not to have insurance pay for it. Good news is David is fine. Good news is that Dexter who was missing for hours was upstairs under my bed. Good news is that we had a group of friends come over and help hang the cool wood window, drink champagne, and then mojitos, and smudge ( ritually clean my house).

Are due up here in 4 days, and my MIL sends fear in my heart, she is a very critical person, and I hardly ever meet expectations. No matter what I do or think to myself it effects me. David and I have planned to get new storage for the bedroom any way and the thought of my MIL looking into my room sends shivers down my spine. So Saturday morning we went to Ikea a planned out the new bedroom wall. It was gorgeous! Sunday morning we went back to purchase all the parts. We pulled the old Ikea dressers out and remeasured and realized that we had more room... So back to Ikea (thankfully it is less the 8 miles) for the 3rd time and score by getting the smaller piece for 1/2 price in the as is room. We also got a shelve in as is too that they were out of in the main warehouse. WE get home and then we realize that the cabinets are either 2 inches too high or the ceiling is 2 inches too low. Either way back to Ikea for the shorter cabinets, not what I wanted but better than nothing....
However Nothing is what I got- they are out of the cabinets! Not due back for 7-14 days.
Oh except the smaller cabinet that we bought in the as is which david will be cutting down to make fit because it's not returnable.
But I did get a cart full no I'm not exsagerating a cart full of fabric for $10!
Oh and to top it off it's snowing again!

We drove north again and then south to the HOH rainforest, walked a small trail in the rainforest. I have always collect patches, I have a hundred or so from the grandparents and so went into the store at the park and we bought a cool book with a flip out map we could have used days before. As we were being rung out the lady told us the ranger standing next to her had a picture in the book I asked him if he would sign it. He did and his name was .... Off we drove to the coast line again. More rock gathering I ran across a stream and got soaked. We set up camp down the street from Ruby beach. Got a great campsite at the Kalaloch campgrounds, and even went to a great little lecture. I always love the lectures we went to one while we were in the grand canyon and it was fun. This one was too, specially after the stupid girl from spokane relized that she really didn't know anything about Tsunami and left the lecture to the professional. On the way back to our campsite that night we watch a older couple walk their 3 dog on leashes and 1 cat not on a leash around the camp site.

The Drive in was wonderful! The view was beautiful, the movies good the guy running the projector was funny....
David's favorite line was outside food and drink is ok. However alcohol is not, 'read between the line' we will not search your cars, just don't take any cans or bottles outside your vehicle.
The dark knight was very good, but the mummy not so much and besides that fact it was midnight when it started, we both fell asleep. The night was clear and the stars fantastic.
We drove to the camp and slept well that night. Next entry day two.....
