man crazy busy weekends are awesome... possibly the only thing i love more is coming home afterwards and just chillin' for a few days.

friday, as you know, was michelle's birthday. i love that she decided we had to wear cheezy pointy spongebob party hats the entire day at glen ivy. we wore em in the spa, we wore in em the mud bath, we got a few pictures so stay tuned for that! so silly that basically taking an entire day long bath at a spa can be so much fun! they had a deal we didn't know about - if you go on the day of your birthday they'll give you a free pass to come back another day within 6 months, which works out really good for michelle because she would go every day if she could! me, i had a really good time, but day spas really aren't my thing, you know? but it is still fun to partake every once in a great while... maybe i'll enjoy it more someday when money ain't quite so tight...

stopped in at tom's farm afterwards - they have a candy store that sells THE best choco-covered cherries i've ever had in my life. they're freaking amazing. called up josh to see if there was any kind of candy that he wanted, and he came back with "do they have a 12" tall red gummy bear filled with little gummy bears?" they didn't, but i did pick up some gummy mexican hats. which really just looked like gummy nipples. i think they're sellin' off the overstock from a local porn barn or something...

friday night josh and i went to silky sullivan's in fountain valley - his friend erin is moving to virginia at the end of the week to be a sherrif's deputy there, which is pretty awesome. his old roomie shenona's back in town finally after almost a whole year in iraq, too, and it was fun to catch up with her - the girl is hilarious.

saturday morning josh, chris and i headed out to redlands to help their mom sort through a bunch of stuff in the storage shed. have i mentioned she's moving to new mexico? very cool and very sad at the same time; it's gonna stink not having her around. the storage shed housed such wonders as an ancient view master that was josh and chris' grandma's, an antique typewriter for writing angry letters to corporate america, old bus passes from a london trip years ago, a pack rat hiding in the old he-man castle, and a huge cardboard box full of underwear josh had packed away for some unknown reason...

saturday night i was completely conked out by like 9pm. somethin' about that redlands heat just wipes me out...

my favorite part of the weekend, (wait. i don't know if it was better than glen ivy with michelle. let's just say the two are neck and neck. and possibly necking. what a bunch of tramps! but on with our story - yes! on with our story! interjects super grover) was going trap shooting on sunday morning. trap shooting's basically the same thing as skeet shooting, with the clay pigeons, but in skeet the plates go sideways across your line of vision and in trap the plates shoot away from you. it's really, really fun. i love it. did much better this time out, too, i think on the second round of 25 shots i hit like 15 plates... so watch out commies or i'm goin' red dawn on your asses!!!

so cheers to josh for teaching me more about trap shooting, cheers to michelle for a splendid good time at glen ivy, and jeers to it being monday! garrrr!!!!
