TGIM

Yes, really.  Thank goodness it's Monday.  This was a crazy weekend.  Saturday we went to the Edmonds Art Fair.  Monica wanted to go to the Fremont Fair -- I don't really like the Fremont Fair but it's one of those things you do for love and I'm willing to go every 4 years or so.  But I thought it would be fun to try something different.  The Edmonds Art fair was actually pretty good.  It's a lot like Salmon Days with a lot of arts, crafts, and food vendors (honey, spice rubs), along with a couple of concessions areas, though not as big.  Monica was really happy we went.  However we walked around for a couple hours, then decided to walk into downtown Edmonds and walk around for another hour, then walked up hill to the car.  Add in a long drive there, a longer drive home to get around the traffic on I-5 and it's a long day.  But it didn't end there as I went to the Mariners game that night. 

Sunday we got up all took all three dogs to the Furry 5K.  They start the walk at 10 AM because they want to be done and get the dogs away before it gets hot. Hah!  It was mid 50s and rainy.  Monica and I were wet, a bit cold, and a bit unhappy.  The dogs were all filthy messes but they had a great time.  Unfortunately at the end of the walk, we just wanted to get home rather than spend much time at the vendor booths.  Got back to the car and headed home just as the rain got a lot worse.  The walk wasn't as exhausting physically as it was mentally.

Got home just in time to get a call from the JCC Softball League Coordinator about whether we should cancel softball games.  This is the un-fun part of being league chair.  People want to play, and you have to play in rain in Seattle, but no one wants to get hurt on wet outfield grass.  They installed turf fields so the infields can take a lot of water.  We'd already had one injury so we decided to cancel the rest of the day.  Of course, 30 minutes later the rain stopped.  Still I think the fields were really, really wet and the outfields weren't safe.

Had some lunch then took a nice hot shower.  Then I went to the Storm game Sunday night.  Great game, though Sue Bird got hurt.

Now it's Monday and I can relax and get some stuff done around the house.  Though all I'm actually doing is email and blogging.
