Weekend/Monday

Hi everyone,

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I was kind of busy decorating someone's cubicle to look like a Mini Mammoth made of tissue paper:

Staff are coming from all over to check it out, as if I didn't do the same thing last year to someone else, only with different colored tissue paper!

I was also busy going to lunch with the gang:

Over the weekend I had a lot of good times. On Friday, Erika was in town for a wedding, so she met up with all her friends at Mimi's. We had a meal, then went to Starbucks for a while, and then I had her over to see our condo. We hung out until midnight, then I had to drop her off. We ended up chasing around a stray dog at 12:15 in the morning for a while until we gave up try to save it.

Saturday I got some sleep, and was lucky that Ric ended up not having to work like he though he would. So he called my sister and had her bring my mom to meet us at the movie theater to see Prince Caspian. We ran a lot of errands after that, and then we got a free pizza (a reward for signing up for Charter cable, which we only had for a few months while we lived at the rental house) and had Jenny over. She bought Mario Kart for the Wii (which is awesome and I can't stop playing) and we pretty much spent the whole night playing video games.

Sunday we made it to church and were reminded yet again that we're in the right church with the right pastor. It was good to be back after having missed a few weeks. We had a Panera lunch and I spent the afternoon reading, then finally pepped up and started working around the house. I did dishes, cleaned, did laundry, organized a lot of stuff I need to sell, and did finances. Ric and I went out and got Chipotle for dinner (kind of overpriced for plain eaters) and started watching Wedding Crashers. We made a spur-of-the-moment trip to the grocery store for some snacks and watched some tv for a while.

All in all, a pretty good weekend. Last night we did more around the house as well as watching tv, and tonight we're hanging out with Josh if plans go smoothly. We've been having a mini vacation from working on the condo over the past week. I think my back needed it. And this week, we're taking a mini vacation from work too! We're both taking off Thursday and Friday, so we've got a 5-day weekend ahead of us. Only one more work day to go!

I'm really curious to try Mario Kart. Is it fun with the wheel?

Yeah. It's a bit different from N64 because you're using motion instead of a joystick to steer. The wheel helps you avoid over-steering a bit better than if you just have the remote by itself, but you can still play the game well enough without the wheel. We're going to bring the game for movie night so you can try it out a little bit!

I like the wheel for Mario Kart but I really feel like I get the most precise controls with a Gamecube controller. I highly recommend a wireless Wavebird. It also works great for Gamecube Games (duh) and virtual console games as well as Smash Brothers for Wii.
