Jealousy Breeds Fun
Tonight, I realized that I've had ENOUGH. Enough of watching everyone around me have all the fun, and me just sitting here at home, boaring the brains out of myself. So, I Googled "Fun things to do in Walla Walla" and, after a bit of scrolling, came up with Washington State's Tourism Page, which eventually referred me to WallaWalla.Org.
Now, I'm allergic to milk, I don't use alcoholic beverages, I'm not in the greatest shape and have related health issues, and don't have a lot of money (any, really). So, that complicates things a bit. But surely, there must be SOMETHING I can find around here that appeals to me, right? I already know there are art galleries here (I've been to them already), and that I enjoy a good stroll down Main Street (once in a great while). But surely, positively, there MUST be something that will be my personal "cup of tea"! So, I'm making a list here of everything I can dig up around here that at least remotely appeals to me, and I intend to try stuff out and see if I like anything. Hey, it's better than sitting home all day! Yeah, I get stuff done here too, but seriousely, God and I need to take a break and go ENJOY life! So, here's my list (based on links and info from both sites):

Heh - I now have ZERO excuse for being jealous of everyone else in my life who goes out and has a good time. Hmm... I just have to remember to bring my trusty camera, and perhaps some of you, with me ;) I know, I'll have to wait until the end of summer for most of you to come back. And some of these take money that even I don't have, and I know you don't have either, so we can scratch some of them off the list, but let's worry about that later. I hope to be working soon anyway, and though I need to save most of that money for moving out, and some of it also for paying Sharif, I think at least $20/month OUGHT to be spent on just good old fashioned tourism! That's a bit hefty, but so are local prices for having a good time. I can't help that.
