Xmas under cover.

I've lived in the Pacific Northwest all my life, and I've never seen this much snow. I missed work for a week and a half.

Instead, I sewed a skirt, knit a scarf, watched all three Lord of the Rings movies, made bread pudding, went for countless walks in my red rain boots, and finally made it up to Seattle to celebrate xmas with my parents and spend a night in the city. My gentleman friend booked a room at the Fairmont Olympic, which has a really extravagant lobby with martinis, free fancy olives, and mixed nuts with pistachios instead of peanuts.

We ate a knockout crab benedict at Steelhead Diner. It's a fake diner at Pike Place Market that looks like a total bummer but surprised us with amazing food. We went to the aquarium, where we actually saw otters having sex. Then we dressed up fancy (in my new skirt made from curtains!) and went for poutine and pork cheeks at Quinn's. It's been a really good winter break.
