Weekend

Hey everyone! How have all of you been? I ask, because none of you (save a couple) ever update your blogs.

Mine was great! I actually had a busy week last week with something new to do every night, so I'll back up and start with Thursday.

Thursday night, I met up with Paul and Cyndi at the Fox Theatre in Fullerton for Movies on the Fox. The pre-show entertainment was ghastly, with someone playing Joplin piano tunes on a keyboard. There were so many mistakes and the rhythm was constantly off, so I just laughed a lot, especially during the pieces I've actually learned how to play. Poor guy. We graded Cyndi's highschoolers' math work before the movie (wow, those were bad!) and then settled in to watch The Sting. I'll review that later. The experience was good overall, albeit pretty cold by the end of the night. I'm looking forward to these things in the summer, although I'm skipping the one in June because they're showing Grease.

Friday night, Ric and I had a good meal at Panera and just hung around the house. I've been getting a lot more reading done, which is great!

Saturday I woke up early, went to the post office to pick up my Keane tickets, which had been sent via registered mail (grrr!) and then headed out to Megan's apartment for Amy's girlie shower. That's all I can say, because I don't want to post spoilers for Ryan's honeymoon. After the shower, I headed to the mall, then went home where I feel deeply asleep for a couple of hours. Mornings on Saturdays just aren't my thing. I did laundry at my folks' place and then Ric and I went out to eat at Claim Jumpers. I ordered healthy this time around with the Oaxacan sea bass, which was pretty good. We stayed for a while and had some great coffee drinks for dessert.

Sunday we had church and hung out with the Andersons. Emily actually let me hold her for a good five minutes before getting fussy. We did laundry at Ric's folks' house and I washed my car (why?) about 2 hours before it rained. We met up with Gron in Brea to check out the Hot Fuzz, which was very funny. I was glad that they played Supergrass' Caught By The Fuzz during the credits.

This week holds a bunch of software presentations from another vendor who wants our business at work, the usual tv night with the Neals, hopefully the Last Mimzy at the dollar theatre, a visit from Amy's mom, the play, brunch with the Andersons, and a Travis concert. I'm excited!
