Slackin' on the gabbin'

Or so I've been politely told.

So I haven't updated since the 24th of February. That doesn't mean I've been slackin'. I've been a little preoccupied.

WITH MY LIFE.

I'm currently on Spring Break and there is no "break" to be found. I don't do idle well unless it's a snow day.

I've painted lawn furniture.
I've dug up shrubs.
I've wiped down the railings on my front porch.
I've organized tub after tub after tub of storage.
I've pitched and tossed miscellaneous treasures out of said tubs.
I've reorganized my attic space above my garage.
I've cleaned out my garage.
I've hit up the lobby of all hobbies.
I've cleaned, prepped, and edged the front hallway at school to prepare for painters.
I've been on walks with friends.
I've been to the gym with friends.
I've spent countless hours preparing for the week of art that is creative.

And that's all since Monday. That has nothing to do with life since February 24.

The first week in March, Lynden has some very special visitors from the land of 10,000 lakes. That's Minnesota, don'tcha know.

My Uncle Les's older sister and youngest brother flew out to visit for a week. And since my dad is my Uncle Les's brother, that makes his older sister and youngest brother also my dad's older sister and youngest brother, and therefore, my auntie and uncle. Don'tcha know.

We spent one of the days taking a ferry ride to Friday Harbor. The day just happened to be Friday. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have gone. It would be weird to visit Friday Harbor on a Saturday. Or a Monday. Or  Tuesday.

We had a wonderful time together. It's always fun to show family from the Midwest the beauty that is the Pacific Northwest. Sometimes I still pinch myself to remind myself that I live here.

But I do live here. And I hang out with these kind of people.

My dearest gal pal Mal. She's that friend that I have to warn people about before she shows up and then apologize for when she leaves. And I love that about her. I wouldn't want it any other way.

She's another peanut butter to my jelly. Yet too still.

And now I'm hungry.

See you in 6 weeks, followers.
