Even though I was fasting, I had a lot of fun this weekend for my birthday. Friday night I went over to Stephanie’s place after not having seen her for about 10 months. It was nice to catch up and hang out with friends. Betsy, Jacob, Jesse and Deborah were all there. Kim was hanging out with Bridgid so didn’t come. We talked and they drank and ate a birthday cake that I only got to taste since it was the let down day of the fast.
Saturday I mostly relaxed and read some. I didn’t know what Kim had planned, but just before dark she drove me, Violet and Bridgid out to a corn maze and pumpkin field north of Seattle. It was a blast! Jake and Kimmy met us there. We all picked pumpkins, and as it got dark we headed into the corn maze. It was a huge 5 acre maze with the goal in the center. It was really, really muddy too. My two complaints about the maze were that there were a lot of places that people had pushed down the corn where there wasn’t supposed to be a path, and the goal of the maze didn’t have anything cool there. It was just a big open space. There wasn’t even a light. After the end of the maze though was a haunted section. I’ve never been in a haunted house with Kim before and definitely wasn’t prepared to. She freaks out! In a really fun way, but wow, she scared me more than anything in the maze. At one point an extremely tall scarecrow jumped down off it’s perch and started after us and Kim jumped up and wrapped both arms and legs around me and started screaming! Poor Violet realized after we got out of the maze that she had lost her phone, but fortunately she got it back the very next day.
Today I slept late, relaxed, did some work around the house, and went to see Grizzly Man since it had finally come to the Crest. Good film. It’s one to make you think. Now I’m not tired but feeling very hungry. I can’t wait to eat tomorrow…
