After dinner for Erik's birthday at “The Rock” and making sure that grandma was going to have a ride home, we got in my car to head out East. Darren said I could just take the freeway near the restaurant to I-205 but I didn't want to be lost so I headed back down to 4th plain and took that to 205. It worked out in the end because I stopped at the ( Read more... )

I was up today later than I have been all weekend (around 10). I think this is partly in anticipation of having to leave today. I got ready for the day and did some more work on the folding stars. Before long it was time for Arby's (as usual). In an odd coincidence PJ didn't have to work at all while we were there (that was two extra days on ( Read more... )

I was up a little later today but not by too much. I got ready for the day and did my usual things online. I also found a few more origami ideas to try out and I printed them. After getting off the computer I spent sometime working on the new Origami ideas ( Read more... )

I woke up today at a reasonable time. It was earlier than I usually get up when I visit my parents but not too early. I got ready for the day and sat down at my mom's computer to do the usual online things. I forgot how much I dislike the resolution of her monitor. It's not even true color resolution. -_- It was fine though and I got through ( Read more... )

PJ had come down with Erik and Darren to Celebrate Erik's Birthday. Dad had also accompanied PJ to Tacoma and subsequently driven down here to join us as well. I got the kids out of school for Friday so that my dad could take them with him when he headed home early today. PJ then stayed behind to join us on our ride home ( Read more... )

I actually got up earlier on this day than the other days (8:30 am to be exact). I planned to go to breakfast again. I went to get my clothes that I wanted for the day and naturally the jeans I wanted wear were still dirty. So I put a load of laundry in the washer along with the jeans and set it to wash. I took a pair of jeans I didn't plan to ( Read more... )

I got up this morning around usual for this week at 9:30. I got up and ready for the day with the intent to take my mom out to breakfast. Well once I got ready she wasn't even up yet. -_- By this time my kids wanted in on the act and I got them through the shower and ready as well. We headed out for breakfast at around 10:45 ( Read more... )

One thing I seem to keep forgetting to mention is that I have been sick. Naturally I go on vacation and am sick the whole time. My son sneezed on my, on purpose, last week when he was sick and naturally I am now sick ( Read more... )

I had planned to get up early this day but I was just wiped out from the week's activities and all the travel from the night before. As it stood I got up around 9:30. I also planned on breakfast at Subway with my mom. Oddly enough she wasn't up yet when I got up ( Read more... )

All week I had only been half thinking about our trip this weekend. It was so bad that I even forgot to print my packing list (I do this every trip to make sure I don't forget or leave anything). Even on as the day progressed I didn't think much about it. I did end up packing late on Thursday though. -_ ( Read more... )
