Done Yet? Nope.

~ Highlight of the Day: watching the stars from the driveway, just like on clear winter mornings in high school when we headed off to seminary in the dark ~

 

I am getting so close. . . I'm pretty much done with packing for Jerusalem and moving, I just need to finish filling and closing up all the boxes of my stuff.

 

Here's probably the biggest accomplishment of the day:

 

I threw away all my old trophies that I've been holding onto for years and years. That made one whole box just disapear! My mom pointed out that if I can't see myself displaying it in my own house someday then it's probably not something I need to keep. I've come to find that I agree with her on that regarding most items. I still can't part with some of my old girls camp beads. . . or my art projects from elementary school. I suppose I'll get plenty of chances in the future to go through and throw stuff out.

I also gave Bekah's weeping angel mask a nose job. With my dremel :)

 

 

 

It looks painful, but I assure you it's not!

Well, I'm sure I'll be terrible at posting while traveling, and as I'll be flying to Provo tomorrow I wouldn't expect too much for a day or two. I fly out to Jerusalem in 3 days! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

 

One Last Day in Seattle

~ Highlight of the Day: Spending 3 hours in my most favorite store ever - Value Village ~

Today was really busy, a lot of fun, and just a teensey bit productive :)

Um. . . I've sort of hinted at this in the last few posts, but I should probably mention it officially at some point - my family is moving to Arizona. So I'm in the middle of packing for Jerusalem and for moving. Not to mention that I should be sort of fixing up the yard and I want to say goodbye to my favorite places. It's much too much to do in 6 days. Maybe I could have done everything in two weeks, but my parents didn't even know until last week.

So what did I do today? I savored my last shopping trip to Value Village (probably what I'm most sad about leaving behind. . . ), and went to the Science Fiction museum at the EMP (Experience the Music Project) in Seattle!

 

 

 A DALEK! Ahhhh!!! The first two episodes of season 7 (Doctor Who) are supposed to make the Daleks scary again. . . I can't wait :)

 

There was an exhibit all about Avatar. . . we had a staring contest. He won.

 

And there was an exhibit on horror movies!

 

 

I now want to see a few old thrillers. . . definitely not 'Texas Chainsaw Masacre' though. That one looks gross. 'The Wicker Man' seemed fascinating, but it apparently has a lot of yucky stuff of a different nature in it. . . and it's rated R.

 

I saw this though and thought it was hilarious :)

 

 

I will have to watch this with my Provo buddies during Winter semester! I definitely learned more about horror film than I every thought I needed. I came away with an appreciation for the immense history of horror, and an intense desire to watch Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

 

After all the dark scary stuff we took a walk outside. . .

Gotta love Seattle! My family may be moving, but I will still find reasons to come back here. I love the Northwest too much not to!
