It was raining this morning. Kind of a lot. So I just put the hood on my raincoat up. Finding my umbrella seemed like too much work. I think Seattle is wearing off on me. In a good way but really, who am I and when did I become the girl who can't be bothered to find her umbrella?! I justified it by saying to myself: I don't want to deal with a wet umbrella at work. But here's the thing, I basically couldn't see out of my glasses there were so many raindrops on them and I think to myself maybe I should wear my contacts--not maybe I should get out my umbrella.

So my parents are coming to visit this weekend. Somehow C. and I convinced them to drive over and we're going to have a grand time together. I think that they are bring three cases of Walla Walla wine with them. My dAd apparently read my blog post and worried that I might need more wine. They found a case of whites at $6.25 a bottle and then today my MoM texted about getting two cases of red at $8 a bottle. My sister and I are going to end up with a lot of wine. The best part, it's well under the $15 a bottle goal I'd outlined. 

My MoM already made a request to go for pastries at my local bakery. Um, obviously. Sunday morning can't come soon enough. 

My dAd hasn't made any requests that I know of. Mostly C. and I have made requests of him related to things we need fixed. What are dads for after all?! 

I do expect that my dAd will take photos of everything we do. This was his MO in Bulgaria and Turkey this summer. He just has so much fun with it. He'll take embarrassing photos of is and later post them on his blog but because he has a blog and I think it's really cute I won't complain if if he catches me doing something cringeworthy. 

I also expect that he will be happy with one surprise that C. and I have come up with for him but we won't talk about that here. Not right now. He reads this blog and comments more quickly than even my MoM!!

We're topping the whole thing off by visiting the Miro exhibit. This should be lots of fun because we are also meeting up with my MoM's bother and sister (my aunt and uncle) 
and a mix of their children and various plus-ones. 

This weekend is going to be so much fun that I'm going to need a weekend to recover!!
