weekend update extravaganza
Okay, so we went out on Friday. We missed the play because traffic sucked, but we went to this kickass new restaurant at Santana Row and had fabulous food and drinkies.
Here's me enjoying one of the aforementioned drinkies:
Then we went to the Normandy. It was, um, something. First I sang "I Will Survive", which is a sure sign I'm pissed off about something, then later I almost got thrown out for indecent behavior, and that's all I'm willing to say.
here's me feeling frisky (and I'm SO GLAD THE CAMERA GOT PUT AWAY AFTER THIS, and I'm so glad the only person to witness the debauchery was Rob):
The next morning, Kris and Chad came over (and I was never drinking again) and we wound up meeting Dennis and Lindsay and Carter at the creamery for brunch. It was all about babies. We also got to see Dennis' stylin' new natural gas-powered Crown Victoria. It is the dorkiest thing I've ever seen.
Here's Carter in the trunk of the souped-up wonder car:
Then Kris and Chad and Rob and I went to Nordstrom, because poor knocked-up Kris needed new shoes and a new bra. Neither of us found shoes, but we both got bras. I didn't see hers, but mine is smokin'.
After we got home and the Peddy-Mays left, Rob and I went for an 11 mile bike ride. Then we got gussied up and drove to Marin to get Michael, and we all went to the City. We went to the House of Nanking, which was as awesome as ever, then went to the Tonga Room and consumed fruity drinkies and laughed at the bad dancing.
I enjoy drinks with little umbrellas.
No, really.
Anyway, today my parents came over to help us (okay, make us) weed the backyard. It needed it.
Behold the mighty power of the weed whacker:
And here's my dad efficiently compressing the yard waste:
And here's where we left it this afternoon. There are grand plans to build a deck. I'll believe it when I see it.
Then we all went to Chevy's and had many margaritas. Now I will be napping for a while. We may go climbing later, but all I want to do is pass out. Being frantically busy on purpose makes it a little easier to forget one's troubles, but gosh, it's exhausting. And it isn't completely effective, either. I keep having to go sit down and mourn for a few minutes here and there. Am so ready to not feel so fucking sad.
Here's to hoping this week is easier than last week. *clink*

Okay. Who do we have to pay to get those debauchery photos?

When we had a yard in Texas, it used to look like that! But we didn't have anyone to compress the clippings. ;)
