Wonderful day without a happy ending.

Well today started off with me getting up early to surprise Nathan. I have been planning a secret trip to Seattle for his birthday. It was going to be quite a bit more elaborate. But life just isn't convenient lately... and i'm pretty flexible. So I decided I wanted to take him to seattle to go to the zoo (because hes never been), and to go bar hopping on capital hill because its the best, (and maybe we would see some drag queens!) and then saturday, getting my hair cleaned up by my most awesome lady! (over at http://www.fiercelocks.com!)

So first knowing that Nathan is not a big lover of surprises, I decided I needed to make this so he had no reason to say no. So firstly I wanted to take his car because it got the best milage. but his tail lights were out, and I know he wouldnt want to go because his car was messy.

Sooo I arrived at his place of work just before he had to work and tricked him into giving me his keys. I then took his car to the carwash and cleaned it and washed it. took me about an hour lol. but it is nice in there now! then I took it to oil can henry's for an oil change and to see if they could fix the lights. then after i got that done I topped off his gas and was even going to buy cigarettes so he wouldnt need to stop for them in the morning lol. but I forgot. I took the car back and he was happier with my surprise then I thought hed be :) but I told him I had another surprise after he got off work.

well after that I was going to get my oil changed too but danny asked if I wanted to go to the beach with  him and coraline, and his family. so I said yes, and met him there. we went tubbing on the lake with there boat, and swam for a while. Had several good long talks with Danny. I really enjoyed them and I think they helped both of us a lot. but I always worry when I talk to him that he thinks its more progress then I do. like I am coming to my senses or something. but hopefully he can keep it in context. We did have a fun day and went home and ate and played catan. I wanted to leave earlier but the game I set up to be short turned out to be really long lol.
Then towards the end of the game I got a text from Nathan saying he needed me to come over now, it was inportant. so that worried me and I went over there to find out that his dad has past away a just a couple hours ago... well that was like instant cancelation of the trip... So I told him about it since it was a surprise. and yeah he didnt want to go, (even though I made his ability to bailout, fail proof!) so since I had extra money now, I bought a pizza.

It was a really eventful day. I am glad I at least got to meet his dad once. even if it was very briefly....

Namaste
