Busy week in Seattle. We didn't do many touristy things though it was our original intention. With the kids in Seattle, being at work was even more hectic but we did go to Archie McPhees (which they loved and decided they were moving to Seattle for) and they played in the rain in rain jackets. Thursday night I threw a party for them. I had all the people from work with kids come over. I went to Michaels and bought two big bucket of little 25c pieces of wood in shapes and some coloring paint pens, crayons, etc and set it all out on a table. The kids had a WII in the back room but, honestly, after one of the guys from work engaged in all out wet napkin war (ooooo) they preferred the slip sliding front lines of the wood dining room floor.

Being in Seattle with two kids and no babysitter left no time for yoga. That's okay though.. it was worth it. Saturday was beautiful and we took a boat out to the locks and around the skyline. We did the touristy Ivars thingy. Got a bit sunburned.

The flight back from Seattle was long. You know you are spoiled by always flying first class (thanks to the mileage you've flown, you always get upgraded for free) when you forget you have to pay for "a food box" -- so I had to dig out my wallet... which I promptly left behind on the airplane. I didn't realize it until after we'd gone home and the plane had already taken off for Seattle... apparently without a full cleaning. It's such a strange and uncomfortable feeling when you lose your wallet. I think it has happened to me once before. The discomfort is disarming.

I spent part of the morning calling credit card companies and cancelling credit cards. I think I still have like 5 more to call. Various things you don't think about having in your wallet until you realize they are gone -> membership cards, credit cards, health care cards.. your driver's license. I'll have to find time to go get a new one of those. You can barely function in today's world without a driver's license.
