Well, my car was picked up by the shipper yesterday. As usual, the driver has a thick accent (this time Russian) and says he is “at your house” when he is clearly NOT “at your house”. Yikes! Then he types it into the GPS and finds where he needs to go. Umm… yeah. *pause* Come on, buddy. And his face looked so stiff! I mean, granted he was driving a truck for hours upon hours (so I SHOULD cut him some slack), but hello stoic! I was just waiting for a smile of greeting, but I don’t think we got one. Actually, I thought “have you been drinking?” – but of course a drinker would be more quick with a smile. Oh well, lets just hope he can find the destination without being difficult. Back when I shipped my car out here, we had a guy named Roman who was so vague when telling us where he parked (and we had to find him) – and then just started repeating himself but in a higher and louder tone. Haha! I had to pass the phone off to my boyfriend, my Dad… I couldn’t take the guy yelling about how he’s been waiting for 45 minutes on Market Street when he was really on an Old Route blah blah blah.
In other news, I am OFFICIALLY a Beta Sigma Phi sorority pledge! We had another meeting and we did the ritual which makes me an official pledge. There were a few candles, yellow roses, and hand shakes and whispers. *No, not secret handshakes ;)* It was wonderful. It definitely makes me sad I’m leaving because I can’t be a part of this chapter, but I’m so glad I met them. They are so generous in the way they welcomed me and made me feel part of their group. I hope I can find a good chapter after I move, but I’m sure it won’t be the same. 🙂
In silly news, I’m still getting a strange thrill from using up containers of products. I usually have so many different shower gels, shampoos, makeup serums, etc- all going on at once that I rarely use things up. But since I’m moving, I’ve been using things up. And it’s FUN! Well, my very favorite products that are super expensive, I’m still hoarding… like Sunday Riley’s Juno Serum and her Good Genes serum. But everything else I’m using! I’m thinking today I will finally be able to throw away a shampoo bottle that I have had for WAY too long. It’s Redken’s All Soft. It’s like the bottle never ends!
There could be a Woodinville Winery trip in my soon future. I can’t wait! I’ve been before with a friend and got the MOST adorable souvenir wine glass from DeLille Cellars. If you click on the link and look at the cute little emblem in the upper right corner- that is on the wine glass. SO cute. It’s my new favorite glass. Basically, I want more. More! I love to collect things. Some women in the past collected commemorative plates or spoons… some gals collect shot glasses… i love wine glasses from wineries! And T-shirts too. Dang it, I’m just a sucker for a souvenir from travels. Sweatshirts too! Yea!
And in Washington news– there was a landslide on Whidbey Island! It wiped out a road and destroyed 1 home and is endangering more. I love Whidbey Island. It’s small and quaint. I’m glad that not more damage was done.
KITTY NEWS: The black neighbor kitty who is SO vocal and loving… and has so much personality it’s insane (and almost scary)… it’s name is Sam, but we always call him Jake. It’s our personal nickname for random animals. Anyway, He laid down at our feet for the first time and Ho Ho ho! Jake is a girl! So thus our nickname has been changed. We will call him/her JoJo 🙂
I end with kitty pictures. To leave you with cuteness.
Me with Jake/Sam/Jojo
