wonderful weekend
Boy, was this a great weekend. I have neglected to post about it until now, but to celebrate LJ being back up (and giving me something to do while waiting on hold with coworkers) I'll give the rundown. Spur of the moment on Saturday morning we decided to attend the anti-Proposition 8 rally that was being held downtown. We called around and got
maera_danann to join us there after picking up kommie . It was enjoyable. There were a few good speakers, and some rather moving moments. All in all, I'm glad we went and will be happy to show our support again in the future.
After the show we went to Best Buy to look around and discovered a whopping pile of 50 Wiis right in the front of the store. kommie saw this as his chance to finally get one. Unfortunately, that means that he'll get to practice on his own and I won't be able to kick his ass any more at tennis... At least he hasn't bought Mario Kart yet.
Saturday evening wyvernmoon came over to spend the night with a baby Robyn in tow. With her hubby out of town, we invited her over so that she didn't have to be lonely and could have some help from friends keeping an eye on the little one. I kicked ass at getting the baby to fall asleep - I guess I just have a penchant for getting women into a comatose state. The house quickly became filled with friends as we hung out and then sat around watching Gettysburg. kommie and I made it through the whole movie, but most of the others either passed out or bailed out at various times. Kudos in particular go to tashar for making further than most of the others.
On Sunday kommie and I took valda793 's parents their scooter from our garage and disposed of an old recliner so there would be room for it in their living room. I was actually rather disappointed in The Salvation Army because they turned down the donation. The guy working the donation site said the arms are worn, and thus would need reupholstered before they could sell it. I disagree, and think that this was a perfectly fine second-hand chair. Eh, hopefully someone will rescue it from next to the dumpster.
Hmm, what else... what else... Oh, I spent some time building an Amazon wishlist. I always feel crappy making something like this, but I'm getting past that. Actually, the past couple days I have added dozens of items to it and really hope I make friends with a millionaire that can afford to buy all the lego sets that are on the list. If you know any millionaires that are lonely, let me know .
Oh oh oh oh oh, I almost forgot. Congrats to valda793 for her induction into the honor's society on Friday evening. We are very proud of her. it was also fun giving the small digital camera to her father so that he could take pictures at the ceremony. He really was enjoying using it, and it's nice to see him get excited about something.
