Husky vs Duck Football

This Saturday was game day! The UW Huskies played the Oregon ducks here at Husky Stadium. It was the last football game at the stadium as we know it. They’ll be remodeling for the next two years, and all the games will be played at the Seahawks stadium in the meantime.

Saturday we had people over for some food and drinks before everyone headed down to the E1 parking lot of tailgating.

Everyone was late getting to our house, but when people finally got there, we played some flip cup, ate some food (chili, corn bread, salmon dip, chips and salsa and guac, monkey bread, etc), had some jello shots and got excited for some Husky football.

everyone but me: 

Two of Dustin’s friends came up from Portland for the game. They all went to UO together, so they were rooting for the Ducks. WHATever ;) ha

somehow Dustin and I managed to get along despite our school rivalry (haha):

After a few hours of hanging at our house, everyone headed down to the stadium. I left  with Dustin and his friends, Alex and Pickle last. We walked through campus to get to the stadium. I love the UW campus, it’s so so pretty! We pit stopped at Suzzallo Graduate Library along the way:

you can’t really tell, but it was a really nice day, you could see Mt. Rainer in the background in real life:

After our pit stop we walked down to the E1 parking lot (the HUGE stadium parking lot where everyone tailgates), and tried to find my friends. We failed a little, and I got annoyed by UW fans (mostly drunk sorority girls, BOO) throwing bread at Dustin and his friends (feeding the ducks or something), so we left E1 and walked down to the water by the crew house then to the “zone” for some drinks and food for the boys. I hate when fans are rude to other fans. I really really hate it actually. I don’t understand the game day shit talking and things.  It just seems silly to me. KINDNESS, PEOPLE!

After that we went to the stadium to watch the game. We sat in the UO section, which was a little rough for me, but I didn’t catch too much crap because I was wearing a black coat over all of my purple. It was REALLY cold out! But I did wear my motherfuckingBEARhatRAWR! all day, and that kept me warm. Also Dustin bought me a box of hand warmers and some foot warmers which I used during the game and they were seriously life savers. I was so happy to have them!

Dustin and I at the game:

The game was a lot of fun. The Huskies ended up losing, but I kind of knew they would (Husky fans don’t hate me for saying that), so I wasn’t too disappointed. Also we didn’t get totally blown out, so that was a positive.

AND, I saw my friend Heather at the game. We went to high school together, and cheered together, and I don’t think I’ve seen her since her wedding so it was really great to catch up a little at the game.

After the game Dustin, Alex, Pickle and I walked back to my house before heading to Dustin’s house to relax (it was like midnight by this point). It was a really fun game and I’m glad I got to go with Dustin. I’m also really glad that we didn’t lose by like 50 points!

GO DAWGS!

cheers to the (much needed) weekend

Here are a few things that are making me smile an inside joke kind of smile right now:

Now you're a supermodel and I'm a motherfucking bear and we're literally the same exact person. It's weird.

Because sometimes, you'll be thinking about something, and then you'll have that weird "something is going to happen today, something isn't right" feeling and then 2 hours later you'll get a text message about the thing you were thinking about (or three) that just kind of ruins your day. Then you'll have to go to a CLE and a training and you'll want to die from boredom and hatred at both because of your awful, werid day. And then you'll know that you're being dramatic but you just can't help it because you're in such a bad mood. Then you'll go drink Double Mountain beer with Stacy after a very sweaty walk. And it will make you want to be in Hood River with your besties. And then you'll come home and you'll have more dramatic text messages. And you'll want to punch someone in shin, or the soul. But you have to keep telling yourself that soon you'll have friends and wine and fun. And time heals all. It can't be bad always. Things will get better. But first you need to look at/listen to inside joke kind of cheery things.

So that's why right now you're reading this post instead of wedding part two and maybe part three.

Also I owe you a post about how I went to court yesterday for the first time ever (as someone's attorney) and it was awesome.

But that will come after a shower and new makeup and wine. And maybe some sleep too.

cheers to the weekend
