Today Shannon came over and we sat around the bathtub with our feet in the warm water. It was really nice after being outside in the frigid below zero weather. We ate strawberries and drank sparkling cider out of champagne glasses. It was very fancy! Our feet were very happy with us, and we lotioned them and put them in socks to stay beautiful.
We were invited out to a tea date with Peter and Thomas at 5:30, so we showed up there and got some tea. We were meeting up at Sipping Streams, for all you Fairbanksians, which is an adorable tea place by Gullivers, off College, where Team Play used to be. The lady who regularly works there is so sweet. I’m a huge klutz and spilled tea multiple times. We waited for them for about half an hour, but they did show up. Shan and I shared a pot of the Midnight Sun tea blend, which was citrusy and good. After the boys showed up we talked until about 7:30.
Shan was getting hungry, so we decided to say good bye to Peter, who is leaving early this morning. We headed over to Pad Thai, for some pad thai. Understandably, they make the best pad thai in town. This is actually a reasonable compliment since there are about 12 thai places in Fairbanks. That was a really fantastic dinner and we actually finished all our food. We went home and hung out for a while, watched a little QAF, I repainted my toenails. Then I realized I had to take the mario game Max and I had rented back to the store, so we made a quick trip down to the inconvenient Blockbuster, and back home.
We watched a nature show about insects and other small creatures called Microcosmos. I was rather disappointed because there was nothing that explained what was going on, just video footage of weird things. The highlight for me was a very intimate scene with two snails joining together in some kind of mating thing to the sounds of opera music and slowly wriggling about. It was surprisingly sensual. To combat our lack of learning from that video we watched a few episodes of Bill Nye. The ones about Skin, Spinning Things, and Ocean Life. Shan fell asleep during Ocean Life and now I’m going to join her. Have a good night and a lovely morning.
