Annnd, it's gone.

The week seems to have flown by for some reason. Probably because I have Friday off so, it's essentially the weekend for me already, or the fact that report cards were due and I was scrambling to get them all done on time, or perhaps the fact that Wed. Micah and I spent all day running errands, not all unpleasant.

Either way, I'm glad the weekend is practically here.

For those who might not know, Micah and I are stringed musicians. I play the violin and he plays cello. We have a duet this weekend, so we dug out the instruments (named Leah and Chelsea, respectively). Micah's bow had not been used in rather a long time, as we discovered since 30-40 bow hairs had come loose. So, yesterday we went to have it rehaired. On the way, we had to drop of Micah's car which needed a new battery, then we went to dinner at this very modern and elegant restaurant called The Purple Cafe:

They had several spiral staircases and lots of curved accents/architecture. Such a neat looking place. They had the most wonderful food as well. So detailed and fragant and fresh. Micah had a wild mushroom pasta with parmesan and a light, herbed sauce. I have tomato soup, bruschetta, and I even tried mussels. (I don't normally eat seafood besides fish, but you have to try everything once. They weren't my favorite, but the lemon butter sauce made up for the lack. So, now I can say I tried it and probably won't ever order it again. :P

But, they have a lot of variety and vegetarian options as well, so it's a great place for all.

After that, we indulged ourselves and bought "each other" gifts for Christmas using the rest of our Macy's gift card from the wedding. I got my first sweaterdress, some "teacher shoes", and a silver scarf. Micah got a remote helicopter and Seahaws Christmas hats for himself and our friend Kristen. (They are going to a game this weekend). We ended the day by having a rehearsal with our accompanist and then headed home.

And now there's only 2 weeks left till Christmas Vacation! We'll be spending Christmas with my in-laws which I'm pretty excited about. I've never actually spent Christmas Day with them before. Should be lots of fun and I get to see most if not all of Micah's side of the family, many of whom I'm very close to. : )

More later.
