Blazed

4 point game with 4.3 seconds left on the clock, Houston's lead. Very tense times here in front of the television. We raced home from Seattle to watch the game. Saturday morning we drove up to Vancouver BC via Whidbey Island and then over to La Conner to see the tulips. Usually I don't care for stuff like that and can get enough satisfaction looking at a postcard or hearing someone else tell me about their experience. The colors were amazing- over saturated fields of red and yellow.

And the Blazers just lost. Hopefully the neighbors will disregard the swearing and sound of walls being punched. Sigh.

As I was saying, Vancouver BC is always a nice place to visit. The warm weather really surprised me- it really felt like a vacation! We stayed at the Pan Pacific Hotel down at the waterfront. The Saturday Nite Opera Buffet was an added bonus! We had a great view of the water and spent a majority of our time in the room watching seaplanes taxi and take off from the water down below.

One of my guilty pleasures when in Canada is the Tim Horton Honey Cruller. I gorged on these and will need at least a month in the gym to undo the damage. Not to mention all the other food I plowed thru during the weekend. The duty free shop on the border provided us with great discounts on hard cider (apple and peach) and lots of vodka.

From there Brett dropped me off at Lucy's baby shower in Seattle. She's due in July but looked like she could go in to labor any given moment. She's from Brazil (as were half the people in attendance at the party- and it was a party!) and it was an endless parade of Brazilian food and lots of cake and candies. It was hard to leave but we needed to get home for the game.

Back to work tomorrow morning.

I've got my work cut out for me with editing and uploading footage. Brett has to review all the footage and do some color correction but after that I've got enough to keep me glued to my computer all week. Meanwhile, we're trying to get this international project up and running, carving time out for Brett to write, me waiting for word on the writing project I was approached on... and who knows what else.

Bodies in motion stay in motion, they say.
