friday night we went downtown to celebrate shannon's new big girl job (we're still working on ryne's little boy job) which we will now be married to weddings, because shannon will be planning weddings at behind the scenes, inc. and ryne will be helping set up. we finally tried out the mellow mushroom, which we didn't expect anything less than perfect. we had red oak and black magic to drink, followed by a delicious buffalo chicken pizza with bacon and onions. we love mellow mushroom's bacon because it is real bacon, not just fake crumbles. with all the chandeliers it gave off a harry potter ambiance. we read about this museum across the street, elsewhere, that shannon had went to sketch at years before. as we were walking over we were approached by a man asking for money to buy a cold beer. we said we didn't have any cash and took a mental note of what living downtown would be like. the museum was filled with mass amounts of fabric organized by color across an entire wall. organizing by color seemed to be the theme as other objects were also organized this way. we only took a brief walk-through because the museum had already closed, but an artist was nice enough to let us in anyway. this artist was one of the many artists who live in the museum during summer, designing installations from things inside the museum. after leaving elsewhere, we stopped at cheesecakes by alex, a place shannon had been dying to try for years. we got a slice of kahula espresso cheesecake. shannon enjoyed it very much. ryne didn't. kitty was at home, and can't eat cheese. so we didn't save any for him. soon after we headed home, made a pallet of blankets on the floor in the living room, and ryne enjoyed "grumpy old men" while shannon quickly fell asleep. which she often does.
the end.
