She flies through the air with the greatest of.... ease??? (Day 318)

I got a phone call the other day that was... unique!

It was my dear friend Jena, she was calling to ask me if I would like to go to a trapeze class with her. After checking my calendar and finding that the time and day where available I said YES!

My thought process went something like this:

"Woo Hoo, I get to hang out with Jena.... I love Jena... she is so great... we always have so much fun together... we both like good food... I love that she likes good food... I bet we can do lunch before this class... I love lunch... lunch is so great... lunch with Jena is double great... this is going to be so great... Woo Hoo"

As you can see, when I said yes I was not considering several things, in fact, I was not considering much at all. I was excited to spend time with my friend who, like me, loves little cafes that serve amazing Caresse sandwiches on a wonderful baguette with cute little dishes filled with olives & pickles, and others with figs & heavenly almonds. (can you guess what I had for lunch :-)

When I told Brent what I was going to do, he (unlike me) was thinking a little more practically.

Brent's thought process went something like this:

"...Ummm, are you serious?... You realize what trapezing is, right?... You are terrified of heights... you realize that you will be up high on a tiny little bar swinging... you sure you want to do this... on a full stomach... "

So what did I do.... just that!

Jena and I went out for lunch at a fun little specialty shop in Ballard called "Savour". We had wonderful Caprese sandwich and then we were off to face our fears.

I am proud to announce that we both flew through the air. Jena was much better at the "with ease" part then I was, but the point is I DID IT!

Overall it was a great day, I am able to mark off that I went to a group exercise class (#16) and that I went to a new restaurant (#88). Best of all I was able to have all of these new experiences with a fantastic friend.
