Hi everyone,

Yet another week and weekend has gone by! I can't believe how time is flying these days.

I have only a few more short Fridays left. This past one consisted of the long drive out to Fry's to return a memory card. I think I'm going to have to buy a new camera so that I can have a memory card capable of holding all our photos from our upcoming trip to Britain and Ireland. Our current camera can only work with a memory card of up to 512 MB. Not good! I spent the afternoon napping and watching Soylent Green. That evening, Ric and I went out with Rob and Dee. We went to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner, then had mudslides and Rob's home brew while watching Nicolas Cage's beautiful weave in Next.

Saturday I slept in, worked out, and got straight to work with paint. I did a lot of touch up, tape removal, and more touch up, as well as another coat of paint on the trim. Ric installed a new faucet in our downstairs bathroom and changed out a bunch of our electrical outlet faces from almond to white. It looks so much more crisp! That night we went to see a late showing of Pineapple Express. I think it brought out the relaxed part of both of us, and we decided to stay out for a while. We went to the train station to chat a while, walked a bit, got a 2am snack at a drive thru, got some cash from the bank, and finally went home to go to bed.

Sunday we went to church, had a bite at Arby's, and I watched the Olympics for a couple of hours. We had dinner over at Ric's parents' house and checked out Todd's new wine-colored Accord. I gave the Mini a good washing, and then we went home. I must have spent several more hours watching Olympics and Beyond the Planet of the Apes.

Up this week: shopping tonight, Ric's got a brewing meeting with Rob on Tuesday, we've got movie night on Wednesday, and Friday we're celebrating my sister's birthday. I guess we'll be keeping busy!
