Hi everyone! Hope you all had great weekends. Mine was okay.

Friday night Ric and I went out to eat with Jenny at Ruby's. Jenny and I were supposed to go to the Greek to see Keane, but since the Greek was nearly on fire, the venue changed to the Gibson, and we weren't all that interested in that venue, so we opted to return our tickets. Never order the Ruby Veggie Platter, kids. I don't know how they do it, but they manage to make vegetables taste very similar to dirt. After the meal, we went back to our place and Jenny and I hashed it out on the Wii. You know, she was always better than I was at video games as kids, so it feels kind of nice to beat her a lot now.

Saturday morning I got up early and met up with my sister and my mom for my mom's mother's day. We drove out to South Coast Plaza to do some clothes shopping. The new Bloomingdales is open, and that place is absolutely amazing (and costly!). The goal was to get my mom to buy some clothes, but she didn't look all that much and didn't like the things we chose for her, so she struck out while Jenny and I bought some cute stuff. We ate at La Vie De France. They were impressed by the meal, but I wasn't. After a little more shopping, we headed back, I did a quick load of laundry, and then headed out to pick up Abby to go to Amy's bachelorette dinner. We ate some good meals at Market City Cafe in Brea. I told Amy not to tell Ryan anything after that to leave him forever in suspense, so I'll leave it at that in case she actually didn't tell him anything (which I doubt).

Sunday we met up with the Andersons at church. Emily is all smiles these days and spent most of church smiling at me while drooling on her mom's hand. You'd think she's teething by how she gnaws on the hand and drools so much, but I think she's a bit young for that yet. Back at home we relaxed and caught up with the TiVo a bit before heading out to buy dinner. We went to the grocery store to pick up a mini feast for Ric's mom so she didn't have to cook a meal, and we brought that and the grand-cat over to hang out for the evening. We played some Sequence(and lost), and gave Ric's mom the DVD of Sister Act, which she had recently mentioned as an old favorite.

Up this week: lots of cleaning tonight because they're doing maintenance in our apartment in the next couple of days, a baseball game (meh), and lots of good tv. Oh for those of you who watch Heroes, beware - they say tonight is the season finale, but it's a 2-part finale, so tonight is actually just the show before the final finale.
