I've decided to move my blog to a new host. I apologize to my readers (if there are any!). I didn't realize you had to create a Vox account to leave comments. With the new host, you do not have to do so to leave comments. Please head over to http://andrearhouse.blogspot.com/ and check it out!
Our fourth wedding anniversary was July 26, 2007, and we celebrated by taking a Seattle dinner cruise. We've done several Seattle cruises before: two of the harbor and one of Lake Washington. The Lake Washington cruise was fabulous and I had high hopes for the dinner cruise. Included in the price of our tickets was admission to the cruise, dinner, and dancing.
The food was just ok - there was a set menu and if you wanted something different (steak instead of chicken, appetizers, a different dessert) there was an additional charge. The band was old and a little cheesy. The dance floor was tiny - it fit about 10 couples at a time. We didn't end up dancing because of that very reason. There were several weddings going on and they did lots of dances for the brides and grooms.
Here's a shot of us on the cruise. There's a pretty good view of the Seattle harbor, although our big heads are blocking the Space Needle.
Here's a few more shots.

This is how Jason looks and acts after a few drinks. Ha!

Very typical shot of the two of us - laughing and acting silly. Oh, and you can see up my piggy nose, as Jason calls it.
Another shot on the cruise. My hair is crazy in this pic, but I love the way the background looks.
That's it for tonight! I'll post more soon.
Well, Labor Day weekend was probably the most productive weekend Jason and I have had in months! Usually we tend to hole up in the house, only to find ourselves wondering "Where did the weekend go?" when Monday rolls around. However, not so this weekend! We actually got out, ran some errands, and socialized.
Friday was a duty day for Jason so I had a quiet night to myself. I did some shopping, hitting up Tar-jay for some much needed (not) clothes and other miscellaneous house supplies. Two hours later, I was standing at the register wondering what the heck equalled the excessive total on the checkout screen. Note to self: do not shop without a list. You'll end up with a cart full of things you don't really need. I topped off the night with some takeout from Applebees and a nice, hot bath. Saturday we had a list full of errands, of which only one thing was crossed off. We ended up sleeping in, and by the time we got up, showered, and got ourselves out of the house, Costco was closed (another money pit for me, seeing as how in housing I have nowhere to store the 1000 rolls of toliet paper you can get for a very low fee of $12.99!). We did make it to Home Depot (for ant spray, those suckers have taken over my house and are the size of my pinky toe) and the mall before coming home and crashing on the couch to watch Disturbia. Love me some Shia LaBouf!
Sunday we made plans to meet up in Seattle with some of Jason's co-workers to celebrate a birthday. We were supposed to be in Seattle by 5:30, so we needed to take the 4:15 Bremerton ferry. I guess I took a little too long getting ready, and it was 3:45 before we actually left the house. I still contend that we would have made the ferry had there not been a festival (Blackberry,who knew?) in town, and as such, numerous road detours and traffic. As it was, we made it to the ferry dock as the ferry was taking off and had to wait an hour until the next ferry. Jason and Brian, a friend who rode with us, were not happy, and I got many jokes made at my expense throughout the evening. Oh well - my hair did look good that night! Still, the night was not a bust. We all met up a Gameworks in Seattle. Despite the food being ok at best and the service being horrendous, I had a good time. I'm not a gamer, but they did have a child's arcade area, and skeeball is my BFF. I played the children's version of slots, and won lots of tickets that I regifted to two thrilled little boys. Today has been a lazy day. I spent the day trolling the web, getting inspiration from looking at other people's blogs.
The next two weeks are extremely busy. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow for another deep cleaning. Apparently I have the beginnings of gum disease, and to fend off further damage I must submit myself to tourture in the dentist's chair. Then on Thursday I have a doctor's appointment, and next week I have two different conferences and one luncheon to attend for work.
Have a happy Tuesday!
