Between Sunday, October 19 and Friday, October 24, IEEE is having a conference in Seattle, and [livejournal.com profile] callicrates is attending. Were I to come along (perhaps if we made one end or the other a few days' tack-on for a weekend jaunt), would people be interested in meeting with us? I wouldn't want anyone to take off of work or anything, but if social calendars aren't yet booked it would not be hard to lure me to Seattle.

I got a fair amount done today. I (mostly) sorted through three boxes of unpacked stuff in our room, consolidating them down to two broken-down boxes and one box of trash. I moved the dresser over to where Andy had wanted to, since the boxes no longer occupied the space. I managed not to let any regular work slip and found Heidi's Lupine collar, which I won't try to put on her again until she's bigger. I also confirmed that I wasn't dreaming when I heard Andy say he was going to Seattle in October, leading to my earlier post.

I've loved Seattle all of the times I've been there -- I adore the weather, I love that some of my favorite paperweight makers and created gem makers (obsidianite/Mt St Helens Emeralds) are there, and all of the little art galleries. Heck, when I took a quiz of what city I am, I ended up as Seattle without knowingly throwing the results. Plus some of the coolest people, on LJ and off, are there. Yes, getting me to plot a way to visit along with [livejournal.com profile] callicrates took some serious arm-twisting indeed.

I was incorrect about our next big purchase. It wasn't an elliptical or a camcorder; it ended up being a grill. As far as we can tell the NC law about grills in apartments do not exist in NM, so we got the kind Andy grew up with. Tomorrow I'll be stopping by Whole Foods to get some steaks and potatoes, and Andy will also try to grill some corn-on-the-cob I got on impulse last week. Just to be safe I'll boil the other half. Andy's really excited about the grill. I wonder if I should blame [livejournal.com profile] merlinofchaos for that ;).
