busy weekend!

After yesterday's busy day, today was another busy and fun day. Got up with the pup, took her to school and then went grocery shopping (Is trader joe's ever not busy?? I was there 12 mins after it opened and you would think they were giving away stuff for free).

Came home and went out with Ava to Sellwood. Once again, Tim and I managed to miss most of a cool neighborhood. We like Sellwood, think it is really cute, but we only saw about three blocks of it, missing most of it. Ava and I went to the huge antique malls, which were fun to wonder around. Found some drinking glasses that match our goblets, and got a cool idea for a writing project. I bought some old photos and I am going to write something about each of them. Can be as short as I want, but it will be a good creative exercise.

Man, Ava makes me so grateful for Tim and for our relationship. Ava is unhappy with Aaron, and she deserves so much better. She said a bunch of things that made me sad, including that Aaron finally got a job after a year of not working, so now she doesn't have to keep lying about it (they live in his mother's old house, and apparently if she knew Aaron wasn't working, she would have kicked them out). That, and the fact that she and Aaron don't even sleep in the same room, she says she is a light sleeper and he wakes her up when he comes to bed. But they just dont' have a good relationship. I hope she finds it in her to leave him and find someone better.

After all that, came home and took a two hour nap, phew, I was a busy girl!
