I turned in a draft of my dissertation on Wednesday - what a relief! I have plenty of work yet to do on it, but took today for myself and H. It was perfect in every way.
We went to a favorite fish 'n chips stand for lunch, and also stopped by Ms. Laura Bee's store while in the neighborhood. It was my first time visiting her shop... I am now in soooo much trouble! Her website totally does not do justice to the plethora of goodies all in one place. If you are in the Seattle area, go see her! Get yourself something cute and support a local artist!
We then headed over the lake and through the hills to visit some good friends who we hadn't seen in FOR. EVER. R & M, and their kidlets O & M, are wicked rad. It was awesome to see them, and hopefully it won't be so damn long next time. They have 3 CUTE alpacas, who were recently shorn, and I am now the owner of about 40lbs of fresh alpaca fiber. Dude! I have to find someone to prep it for me... and then I will be in alpaca spinning heaven! I totally have to teach R to spin too - this is a ridiculous wealth of fiber and she just handed it over to me!
On the way home we passed a little cherry stand and stopped to buy about 8 lbs of cherries for $8. Crazy! Apparently it was "get fantastic stuff for nothing or next to nothing" day. Woot!

What a fun day! Also, I think I need some friends who will just randomly give me 40 lbs of alpaca fiber...what a score!
