So I went to my great aunt-in-law's memorial service/celebration of life at Shanghai Noble House. The party was great, there were about 80 people there and tons of photos and memorabilia of Valera for people to see and share. The food was excellent and seemed to keep coming. I had lovely green beans, potstickers, fried rice, barbecue pork, and an ( Read more... )

So this morning I was up bright and early and took Snickers on the bus to her vet appointment. She wasn't too bad for meowing on the bus, and was pretty good overall in the vet. He said not to worry about the mats, she doesn't have fleas and gave me a steroid treatment to try to help her dry skin. I asked about changing foods and he said what I ( Read more... )

Didn't end up doing much overall. Saturday was a bunch of just hanging around waiting to hear about a date that never happened. Sunday I went out to the movies with a guy friend I hadn't seen in years, so that was fun. We saw Pirates 3, and it rocked! We even stayed for the little tidbit vignette after the credits at the end.

We're shutting down early for the Holiday Weekend at 3 PM. I'm thinking of hitting a showing of 28 Weeks Later Just a couple blocks from work, listed at 2:45 PM, so I'd miss the trailers. It's no longer a starred attraction and I still have my free movie ticket to use. I've also thought about going to see the Pirates movie, but timing isn't that ( Read more... )

Meeting my favorite neighbor for breakfast tomorrow at 9:15 AM. Then we're heading shopping at Macy's & Clackamas Town Center. I've got a gift card and a discount coupon that is only good for this weekend and it's burning a hole in my pocket. He's had an absolutely horrible couple of weeks including having his car totaled and losing a dear pet ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I plan on visiting the library to pick up the latest Raymond E. Feist book that is on hold waiting for me. I'm also going to head to Fred Meyer to use my $50 or so worth of gift cards to see if I can find a decent watch to replace my crappy one. I'll likely also buy batteries for my digital camera, so I can provide friends and family ( Read more... )
