Times like these

OH, how I love the Northwest!! If ever there was a time when I needed to get out of AZ, get out of my head and just let lose, this was it. Okay, so maybe we got our asses handed to us in rugby, but the rest of the weekend was pretty damn awesome.

When your weekend starts off with a stylin, bright red, 4 door HHR, you know it's gonna be a good one. Although, we will still have to complain about the single cupholder in the back (sorry Macko!). Now, ending the weekend with missing car keys kind of sucked, but I did find them buried DEEP in the bottom of my bag, only after resorting to the hide-a-key first.

So, real fast, a quick recap of the game... we were down 0-7 at halftime against the 4th best team in the Nation. I should stop there, because that makes it sound like it wasn't too bad. BUT, we killed ourselves and let those damn Breakers score way too many points in the 2nd half. Final score... ugh... 33-0. Yeah, like I said, we got our asses handed to us.

But, I heart my rugby girls and my Seattle peeps. Big love to SherriPie for making the drive up from Portland to hang out a little. Big love to AmyWusse for her hospitality and all around greatness. Big love to Mongo for coming ALL THE WAY over to the westside to party with us and then drive me ALL THE WAY back to the eastside so we could party even more with ETP and Flowbee. Ending the weekend with Sunday football and bloody beers and sunsets at the beach was a perfectly lazy way to cap it off.

I am sad that I missed the big ORSU game in Portland on Sunday, and that I missed the new jersey honoring our beloved Babb... but, a 41-0 victory over the Valkyries tells me that OTD is back and playing their hearts out for Lindsay. GO JESTERS!

Every time I head up to Seattle it comes at a perfect moment in my life. A time when I need to be surrounded by my closest friends and bestest buddies. A time when I just need to laugh (a lot) and be reminded that life is fucking good.

Great people, great energy and great times. Thanks Seattle :)
