Classes have been going alright - I have my first exam in Psych tonight and my first mini-essay due in English today. Nervous about the exam, as I am not quite sure just what to expect, but am sure I will do alright.
Friday, I left work early with a headache I had woken up with and just an overall feeling of yuckiness. So I napped and caught up on my DVR shows. I felt a lot better by the time Jon got home, so we went to dinner at Ballard Mandarin. Not the best, but convienent. Then, for lack of anything "better" to do, we went bowling at the lanes where we have our weekly league bowl with Underdog Seattle. We bowled three games, and they gave us the league pricing, so the evening was pretty cheap! I bowled pretty well and Jon bowled pretty consistently. Hopefully we can do the same tomorrow at league.
Saturday, Keren picked us up and we walked around Greenlake, then went to breakfast at Mae's Cafe in Phinney. They have great breakfast! Keren wanted a place with good pancakes, and I think she was pleased with our choice. Jon and I both had a benedict - he had the ham, I had the florentine. We were full up till dinner time! The rest of the day we just lounged, which was really great since I have been working every Saturday, and haven't just had a day to really relax yet this year! Then, Saturday night we went to see a play at The Rep in Seattle, to see Speech and Debate. It was a really fun play, with current topics and music. Then we drove out to Issaquah to do karaoke at a little Mexican restaurant. The people there weren't quite ready for karaoke I think - there wasn't any rotation really, because no one was signing up to sing! Oh well, their loss. I sang all I wanted to! As if that weren't enough, we then drove out to Snoqualmie Casino and tried our luck at the slots. Jon managed to do pretty well, but I lost every cent I bet. :( Makes up for the money I won last time I guess...
Sunday, we went downstairs to the coffee shop in our building, and I studied while Jon did some work. I think were there for about three hours! I got a lot done though. To break up the studying, we went to Target to pick up some necessary items - body wash, laundry detergent, shampoo - then stopped at Jewel Box Cafe for a bubble tea. Yum! Then back home to study some more!
I also attempted to knit a hat on Friday, but after about the 16th row, I pulled something out and had to start all over! I hate when I do that. Oh well. I will finish it someday. I also need to re-start my fingerless gloves....
I made my first test teacup candle, using a mini teacup instead of one of the really pretty standard size ones. It turned out! I had added some apple cinnamon scent, but I'm not sure if I'm going to make them all scented. I might just want to do unsented, since some people are sensitive to smells. I think I can sell them for $10/each on etsy....which is nice, since it doesn't cost that much to make them. I have 8 teacups with saucers to use up. Then, if my sales go well, I might try and pick up more! We'll see.
