not air conditioned.
heat waves are dumb. it's way too hot here. the reason i live in the area is because it's not supposed to actually get hot.
i want a refund.
to beat the heat, most of the weekend was spent inside the apartment
( which is really only about 3 degrees cooler than outside) and going to stores or houses that have air conditioning.
we went to the alderwood mall friday night. corey said "lets go to alderwood and eat and see a movie" i said okay because all my ideas were to stay around here and eat at the same places we always eat at that may or may not have air conditioning.
first we went to daiso, which is kinda like the zakka's that used to be marysville (for any marysville peeps who read this and used to shop there) only it's way better. mostly everything is $1.50 and there is a lot of cute things to be had. a lot of junk too, if you're not careful. here's what i got this time:
click thru to flickr and read my notes if you want.
after that we ate mcgraths woodfire fish something-or-other and i got a fish sandwich and it wasn't very good. the whole experience was "meh". theme restaraunts gross me out. we decided to go home because we already wasted too much money on a crap dinner.
saturday i drove to marysville in my un-airconditioned car. first i stopped by erin's house.
this kitty lives in her yard and i want my parents to adopt it but my mom seems resistant.
erin's house is airconditioned which is way cool, but we didn't stay there. instead we drove to lui's house to see if she was there. her car was there but no one answered when we threw rocks at her window, called a million times, and rang the doorbell.
so we went and ate food instead. then we went to the thrift store. erin bought jeans and i bought nothing. saddening.
i dropped erin off and stayed awhile to enjoy the cool breeze inside her house. then i went to the parents and it was gross and hot.
even though it's freaking hot and sticky here i've managed to get some things sewn for my shop update thingy on tuesday. i'm about half-way done sewing stuff and then hopefully i can do the photography part tomorrow night and have everything ready on tuesday. woooooooop.

seattle!!
here may be better than wisconsin... though, i did go to madison once and bought a really cute sweater from some vintage store. that was pretty cool. but then i shrunk the sweater and that wasn't cool.
