can i stuff my face, please?

in short, i've eaten my body weight in F-U-D since getting to seattle. i'm pretty sure i'm going to come home in a mumu, or else wrapped in a gaudy plastic tarp so that you can just hose the crumbs and sauce from my torso with ease. then they can just slide me down the luggage ramp and derek can haul me of from baggage claim with a forklift in a few weeks.

okay, so maybe i haven't eaten quite as much as i think. alice still has all of her limbs, and i've only bitten a few people at work. then again, i like to bite people when i get nervous. don't judge - it's my thing. (the funky laughter isn't nerves. it's just who i am.) overall, i think i'm going to sample as much of the cuisine as i can possibly stand until i start feeling guilty about money and start living solely off of the ten tons of cereal we bought at the ghetto grocery outlet. and no, mary, i'm not going to crack anytime soon. we went to dick's for dinner last night and ate lunch at ikea today. jen is supposed to call after she gets off work so that we can go out and be fabulous. i'm pretty sure that more food will be involved in this evening.

yes, i am having a good time. i'm seeing some people that i missed. i'm working a lot and feeling useful at my job. i've been shopping at ikea AND archie mcphee's so far this week. i went to daiso last week, but i'm saving the shoe bonanza for just a bit longer. (stopped in without my wallet to say hello already, though...) we've driven all over hell and back, with both alice and i discovering places in the area where we've never been before. i still have to ride a ferry and visit a few more peeps, but i've got a decent amount of time off to go piddle. i have to pace myself - there is soooooo much mroe food to be consumed, you know.


good purchases i've made already:
metal boxes for alice
knee high socks in chinatown
postcards!
monkey band-aids
