Man it's been a crazy weekend! Or week, or couple days. :) I'm just now sitting at my computer at home for the first time since Wednesday night! I have posted at work but it had to be quick.
So yesterday after work I drove straight over to my brothers house in Oxnard. It took me two hours and I got on the road at 4:30 and got to his place at 6:30! It was a long drive. I got the tour of his really nice place and we hung out for a little bit and then went out to dinner at one of those chinese restaurants that have the cook in front of you while they fry up the meal. It was excellent food! And being my first time attempting to eat the whole meal with the chopsticks I did REALLY well! :) I never once used my fork and believe that I actually finally got the hang of it. hehe It was good food and it was a lot of fun to hang with my brother and his roommate. Afterwards we went for coffee and drove around and they showed me how close they are to the beach. I would have liked it if I had more time. But we've already planned on having a weekend where I stay all three days. We got back to their place and watched tv. I made the bachelors watch "What Women Want" with Mel Gibson. I realized that it was a total chick flick but they have all the time in the world to watch the manly movies. ;) hehehe I made them suffer. It was really sweet. My brother went all out for me. He bought me a towel so that if I was gonna take a shower I wouldn't have to use his. And he washed his bedding so I could sleep on clean sheets! He gave me his bed and slept on the floor in the living room! He paid for everything. And well he genuinely seemed happy to have me there. I can't wait to go back for a whole weekend. I woke up this morning at around 8 and had to leave his place at 9:30 to be back at my place by 11:30 for the ladies luncheon.
I just got done with a ladies luncheon. We brought a bunch of gifts for a family out in Africa that are having a baby. It was my dads interpreter when he and my brother were out in Africa last time. We will send the package and it will hopefully get there before the new year when the baby is due. I am looking forward to the pictures of the baby in the outfits and stuff that we got.
So I am actually supposed to go to a baby shower for my friends Brian and Laurie but I am not going for 2 reasons. One is I ran out of time to get ready and get in touch with someone to give me directions. Two, I lost the invitation and can't even do a mapquest search on the address for driving directions. So I am going to email her and see if we can meet for lunch or something so I can give her the gift and it'll help me so that I hit two birds with one stone, give her the present and get together. :)
Tonight I also get to go ice-skating with the youthgroup! I can't wait! Though I ironically am not going to be iceskating myself, but it should be a lot of fun! Of course I'll have to post pictures. I still owe pictures of Santa Monica Pier also! Well I need to go get ready for the day.
Bye
