Panic at the Disco

Written by , Posted in Adventures

I’m back in NYC now, and searching for a word to describe what is going on in my head. I think this is how a five year old feels on Christmas morning, after the gifts have been opened and played with and all the sweets have been eaten: excited, exhausted, restless, sad that it’s over, and utterly convinced that she’ll feel this way until Christmas next year. I have not slept much the past week, I’ve absorbed a ton of information, had loads of adventures, and am having a crazy hard time focusing.

My move to London seems so far away, and at times an utterly ridiculous thing to do. I’ve alway wanted to live overseas, at least to try it out for awhile, but is it silly to add another city and friends to my confusion, when I keep feeling the pull back home to Seattle? Of course, I can’t seem to find a good way back there, so it’s not like I’d just get to pick up and move there this summer anyway.
I need the sun to set so that I can go to sleep. A few hours sleep and possibly some food will make things seem much more manageable in the morning.

Seattle – Day 8

Written by , Posted in Adventures

Ending on a high note.

 Saturday Renee, Megan and I met up in the morning to start a ladies day of shopping while their repsective men drank. I mean, we drank, too, but it was in between stops to help the Seattle area economy. We had a great lunch at Palomino – I recommend the spicy ginger mohito – followed by a couple of hours wandering and chatting.

 The five of us grilled and ate dinner outside – the weather was perfect for it. Then J stopped by for a beer and the we hit up 13 coins, where a great jazz band was playing in the Night Owl lounge.

 I can’t put into words how wonderful this trip has been. I know I have an exciting adventure ahead of me in London, and I am so nervous and thrilled about it. But it’s also really nice to feel good about deciding to come back to Seattle when it’s done. I’ve been trying to come home for a couple of years, but it just hasn’t been quite right. Soon, it will be.
