Mom came down to Longview last weekend to visit with grandma for the weekend. While she was here her car broke down and needed some warranty repairs. The car wasn't going to be ready until Thursday so mom headed back home on Monday evening with Ingrid and Karen taking her to Tacoma where she picked up dad's car and drove it home ( Read more... )

The only plan today was to go see Duke's band play in the evening. I had originally had planed to go out taking pictures with Karen but she ended up having an appointment around the time we would need to go. It turned out to be a good thing because I haven't been feeling too well and ended up bed ridden most of the day ( Read more... )

I was up late at 9:30 today. I had planned to take it as lackadaisical as I could but knew that wouldn't last long. I had a stern talk with Bo last night so this morning he told me that he was going to fill up my car with gas (he insisted). I argued a little but ultimately let him. I am against using Christmas or gift money for that kind of ( Read more... )

Baking Apple PieWhen Tim sent out the invites for the party he made it clear that we should all bring a desert and that it should be homemade. I decided to ask Chris what kind of pie he liked (I kind of knew but wanted better input on it). I settled with Apple Pie and picked up the ingredients to make it ( Read more... )

Earlier this week I noticed that Threat would be playing at the Regent this weekend. I was excited about this and asked Ingrid if she wanted to go. Through out the day I also asked Duke and Chris if they wanted to go ( Read more... )

Lunch today was originally supposed to just be with Erik. Unfortunately that changed when he invited Ingrid the night before. We were going to attempt to go without her anyway but she ended up being the one replying to PJs text messages on PJs cell phone so we conceded and let her come along. However We decided not to wait around ( Read more... )

After my trip to Kennedy school in August I started looking for a good time to return with a larger group of people. That's when I came up with the idea of celebrating my brother PJ's birthday there. We don't do stuff for PJ's birthday often enough and it would be a great excuse to visit the location. :) So after a lot of planning and reminding ( Read more... )

The plan for PJs birthday was to gather the siblings and their significant others together and go to Kennedy School McMenamins for the night. Since that wouldn't work for the kids and Grandma we decided to have a birthday celebration dinner tonight as well ( Read more... )

I was up a little later today than I had hoped. I got up around 10am. It was probably because I made dinner last night. At any rate I got up and got ready for the day. I spent some time online after that on Facebook ( Read more... )

I talked with Ingrid on Thursday about when we would meet up for the car show today. I told her the Pin Up contest was at 3pm and she vaguely gave me a yes reply saying we would go then ( Read more... )
