Hey there, don't look at the scores on this thing, because I suck.

This weekend was brought to me by the letter D.

D is for David and Kristin's visit. They surprised me at work on Thursday by showing up without me having any clue that they were in town. On Friday, along with Gron, we all went to eat at Stubrik's, where none of us had eaten in a long time. From there we booked it to the Norton Simon in Pasadena for a half-hour of art-viewing before it closed, and from there we headed to the Yard House in Brea for some desserts. David, don't forget to link us to some photos! It was great to hang out with the old gang in person, since most of us only connect on blogs and IM these days.

D is also for Done. I got a lot done on Saturday. Went to look at a rental house, did a lot of laundry, went to dinner with my sister at Corner Bakery in Brea, went shopping at Ann Taylor Loft, Nordstrom, PetSmart, and Target, and came away with a bunch of clothes and a replacement for Pip's favorite pet toy. He went nuts when he saw it, since the house had been missing it for about a month.

D is also for Disneyland. We were given passes at Christmas, but with Ric working 6 days most weeks, he's been too stressed to make it out there yet. After church (and seeing baby Anderson again) and a relaxing day at home, we finally made it to the park last night. Lucky for us, they didn't penalize us. We were supposed to go in by March 2nd, but we didn't notice that date on our voucher until we were headed there last night. We went on Buzz, ate some gumbo, watched some fireworks, finally saw Jack Sparrow on Pirates, and headed home to watch more Arrested Development. What a fun night. I'm looking forward to many more like that. Stress-free visits to the park are great. You know you can always hit something up the next time around with a pass, so you don't feel pressured to see everything in one night.

Up this week: not much! Cleaning house, little errands, TV with Wendy, etc. Work's busy with software companies giving us pitches and brown-nosing to win our business. Last week we were at a meeting where someone mentioned that they needed chocolate to stay awake in the afternoon, and about 10 minutes later, the presenter's associate came back with a massive bag of chocolate candy bars - not to mention the day planners and eagle plush toys they gave out. Thursday I'm heading down to Carlsbad for the day with girls from work, to work on some wedding planning stuff for Amy. I'm not sure if I mentioned I'm helping out with decor/flowers for her wedding, plus she's my new workout partner. I think a day off work will be fun, since it's been a couple of months since the last holiday.
