Daily Update

Friday Night. It was Harry Potter night. Lots of 'build-up' to this evening inside the J-crew. At work, they kind of ushered us out early, around 6 o'clock. What a nice surprise, no staying late tonight. Turns out that the bosses also like to go home sometimes. Josh had called from Jeff's house, so I went right over there after work. When I got there, no one else was there. No one at all, except josh. No one had been there all day except josh. So if you ever need a place to hang out during the day. But when jeff got there we decided to go and get 'Supper' (or 'Dinner' for those of you who don't speak 'Nor-Cal'). It didn't take us more than 15 seconds to decide if we needed to go and find food; its just that it did take us 35 minutes to deliberate on what the options were, and where we should go. Finally by the end of the 35 minutes, I decide to go and get in my car and drive around until we find somewhere, and of course they followed. The first place I stop at, got vetoed. Same with the second. I reminded them of the time, 7:45, and of our 8 o'clock appointment at Selby. So we just ran over to Smart N' Final to buy bulk goods for the Harry Potter event. (taquitos, root beer floats, and cookies)!

The Selby Theater was great fun. There was lots of treats/'dinner for jim' there. Upon arriving Jeff went right to the kitchen, Josh straight to the couch, and me straight to the TV, our usual places. I was happy to arrive in part to be rid of the verbal harassment that was taking place in the car. They still hadn't gotten over the events from previous nights. The movie was nice. Next week we're doing it on Saturday evening, in case any of you want to make it.

On Saturday we had our Temple excursion, a year in the making. It was lovely. After which a bunch of us went to Johnny's Pizza. Rick came. He was analyzing everything. Its his job after all. I tried suggesting to him 'not to bring his work home with him', but he was to busy studying my speech patterns and tone of voice to actually listen. I was also there, and mistakenly wore a white shirt. I got the chicken Parmesan. It was soaking in both thick and super runny tomato sauce, all at the same time. With every turn of my fork, the sauce splattered somewhere, whether it be on the wall, a neighbor, or myself. So walking away from a nice meal, my shirt now looked like I had a food fight with myself.

After lunch, we adjourned for a few minutes and met up back at my place to watch a movie or to do something exciting on a Saturday night. Then at my place, It was funny cause some people found their spot in front of the TV, and some around the table talking. There was a bunch of people over. Catherine was with us, and Jeff and I started planning HER trip to Europe, with her there of course. It was fun for us. Finally after an hour or so of not deciding on what to do (to many people to make a decision), Kristen announced that she was getting ice cream. That must have been the Word of the Day cause in unison, everyone else at the same time also stood and started making their way to the door. Its just that when everyone got to the door, every person there wanted to go to a different ice cream shoppe. So more deliberation had to take place. But eventually people started aggreeing one one of two stores. The healthy people decided to visit Big Chill frozen yogurt, and the exciting people went to Cold Stone. Mmmm! It was so good. Getting there was a chore, cause I had 3 backseat drivers in my car. We parked at the Westside Pavillion, and on the way out, we were looking for the stair to the roof, and some lady said there wasn't any. So I had to argue with her about it, because there MUST be by law! At the same time there was an old couple asking me questions about the Ice Cream I was so thourougly enjoying. They wanted to hang out with us, but there was no room in my car. So I now feel its necessary to write a letter to the city Building Department and complain about this extremly illegal, and deadly, fire hazard. It was also opening day of this building as well, Brand-newly remodeled.

After the great Ice cream adventure we watched 'Paycheck' at my place, and just hung out. It was nice.

On Sunday morning I woke up and my clock told me it was 9:30. "Oh that's great" I exclaimed. I don't feel tired, and I have time to do lots of my typical weekend chores. Upon sitting up and taking a second look, at my alarm clock, it told me it was 10:30! My satellite clock had lied to me. the one who should set itself! we exchanged words for a minutes, and then I had to leave the room. So, I didn't have time to frolic on the beach for a little while, so I decided to continue Fighting the Battle of My Life until it was time for church. This morning I defended the Galaxy from rebel invasion, and tried to restore imperial rule and order to the outlying planetary systems. I commanded my space fleets admirablly. I've begun to amass a large force to send into the heat of battle on the northern most systems. I only fought the space battle. The rebels threatened one of my space stations at one point, the next time I play that game, I will be sure to punish them for their insurection. I will make them bow before me! Then I ran off to church.

Church was nice. Lots of new people. Enchilada's afterwards. I wore a wonderful dark blue shirt accented by a darker bronze patterned tie. I didn't want that beautiful effect to be drowned out by light pants, so I wore charcoal slacks by Claiborne, and by black shoes.

After church the boys and I decided to arrive early to Trisha's b-day bash and make our dinner there. After all, they're the ones with the Barbecue. The food was good. The company was lovely. We watched the Best of Will Ferrell randomly between eating and talking. Then ate more food. Then by the end of the night we played Scatagories for a while. Josh was the time keeper, and to signify that time was up, he would shoot people in 'inapropriate places' (both guys and girls) with a nerf gun, while they were standing in front of the group. By the end of the night it got a little out of hand. Then after sitting around for a while, I realized it was past my bed time.

I hope I didn't leave anything out. If so, I'll amment it tomorrow. Work was a slow-busy today.

Lunch was sponsored by Socko's sandwitch shop.

I'm listening to Social Distorion right now, "story of my life".
