"A nice cake is waiting for you"

We had a good time this weekend, but Jim's right- very tiring. We must be getting old or something. Friday afternoon I made a salad for the co-worker barbecue. It was a nice barbecue, even thought I didn't really know anybody. I hope that the next time I see these folks, they'll be wearing nametags. After all, when you get introduced to 15 people all at once, it's pretty hard to remember names. They all seemed pretty nice, and the food was good. The host had a nice deck and yard. My salad got lots of compliments. We stayed about an hour and a half, then headed home to meet our friends.

Basically we just hung out. We went to the coffeehouse, then came home to play video games and consume beer. Mike brought a new (to us) Mario Party game. We also enjoyed some munchkin. I had to go to bed "early," since I had a meeting in the morning, at 9:30. (Who schedules meetings so early on a saturday??) After I got back and everyone got a shower, we went to Chubby's to consume delicious breakfast food. It's truly a good thing that restaurant isn't closer. We'd go way too often. After that, Jim headed off for family time, and Mike suggested that we go to the art gallery, since none of us had been for ages. We spent about 3 hours there, and saw some of the newly remodeled sections. Somehow, looking at art was friggin exhausting. We went to Uno for a snack, and a restm then went to see Pirates 2 at 5:30. It was an enjoyable flick, but not as good as the first one. We all agreed that there was just too much cgi, and it was kinda long. Then we walked to Kin Lin for some dinner. We managed to pack a lot into the weekend! Sunday Donald and I did the dishes/laundry/vaccuuming thing, and relaxed.
