ah. Heat.
how do i loath thee...
1. 2 wildfires burning in the last 5 days.
2. 90 weather INSIDE the house.
3. heatsickness 3 days out of 7
4. my plants baking in the sun...not like raisins at all.
and yeah, add to that the complete irratibility and irrationality that i exhibt at random intervals...and it's been a fun weekend :)
Friday night we tried to get stuck on Treasure Island (since the bay bridge closed at 8pm, we drove on at 7:44pm woo!) but were given an escort off by 11pm.
Sat, we did the drive to half moon bay via the 92 (bad idea, see above reason about the only other bridge linking the east bay to the other side being shut down) the drive was ok, the dogs were annoying as was the hour wait for food at the brewery but we survived with the help of strawberry margaritas. Eric's mom gave me her wedding has-to-be-invited list and it adds about 45 people to our already over spec list of 138. Peachy. my mom will shit a twinkie. Oh and she gave me another brides mag 'filled with dresses' - even tho she is aware I've already decided on a dress and it's ordered. hm....and she said she liked the picture, methinks she lied....but the upside was i found the cutest flowerperson dress complete with polka dots....i'm gonna make it since well, I don't think a 6 year old needs a dress that costs $340.
Sun, Eric and I took off intending to go to Big Sur but made it as far as Sarah's Winery off the 152 towards Watsonville...amazing wine, amazing people - we were there 4 hours and i want to invite these people to the wedding cause they were so cool. i drank tons, and then they made sangria....oooh boy. the rest of the day was lazy, we managed to complete our drive to Monterey where I harrassed geese and deer.
Monday, we saw Sandey Grinn, Katie and our flowerperson Anya...I'd forgotten what it's like to have a 5 year old think you are the coolest. She was very smart, pretty much well behavied and was very thrilled to be in our wedding...she even told Eric he could be the wife. We went to see Stardust (SOOOO COOL) and bbq'd around 8pm: Katie and I made fire...the boys made food...and it was all good :) They didn't leave until after 10 tho, so what with the heat it made for a long long day.
All in all - not a bad weekend...I really hope this week goes as well!
