Hello From Gorgeous (Rainy) Seattle!
Um. It's raining here. But it's a DRY rain.
No, seriously, I'm not sure how it does this in Seattle but it's raining without humidity. I can prove it, ready?
You know how normally my hair needs its own zip code on the average rainy day in Austin? Well, maybe you don't. But trust me I could make Chaka Khan look like she needs a perm.
Here's my hair in the Seattle humidity:
That's almost straight hair for me. Are you just totally fascinated?
I know that Rockstories was kidding in the comments when she suggested that it would be really funny if I gave Leslie (our cousin and good friend and the hostess of our great trip and the mother to the unbelievably adorable Theaux) only one sock but um, well, I only really had ONE sock to give her. She had the best reaction to receiving a hand-knitted sock that it has ever been my pleasure to witness, although it is true that she's the only person I've ever seen receiving only ONE sock at a time. But I hadn't finished the second one yet. Leslie spent the whole time we were at dinner alternating feet with that one lone sock. I took a picture but now I can't find it. Here she is after I finished the second sock and she got to wear BOTH of them, though. I like to think it made the whole experience that much more special because she had to get them one at a time. (Work with me here.)
Okay, I have to run because we are heading out for another day of sightseeing and wine drinking. (Did you know how many wineries there are in Washington? More than in Napa Valley!
Dude. If the median price of houses in the Seattle area wasn't $481,000, I might think about moving here.)
I leave you with this--an image of a pig. There are artistic pigs all over downtown. I asked Leslie why there were pigs all over downtown and she said, "well, you know how some cities have things sort of like city symbols stationed all over town."
I looked at her like she was crazy. And then I remembered that Austin has these. Funny, I hadn't even paid much attention to the ten-foot-high guitars all over downtown Austin.
I "Kinneared" it.
