Hey everybody, I plan to be in the office all week this week, so hopefully there will be more frequent posts! This weekend we spent a lot of time with the fathers, obviously.

On Friday night, we celebrated with my dad. We all went to dinner at the Spaghetti Factory. I tried the Gourmet Crab Ravioli, which was basically crabmeat in colorful ravioli pasta, topped with a bit of pesto sauce. They were all right, but I'd probably order something else the next time around. We had dessert at my parents' place and my dad opened his gift from the kids, which is a prepaid cell phone, to be used in cases of emergency. Hopefully he'll figure out how to use it, considering the man has never even used a computer in his lifetime. I'm jealous that his phone looks cooler than mine - the only one at our price range was a sleek and shiny red phone. Ric and I went home that night and watched tv together.

Saturday, I slept in, and then Ric and I went Flame Boiler and then to see The Hulk at a matinee. I like matinees, but they leave me with nothing to do in the evening. On the way home, we stopped by Ric's parents' house to pick up a package for me, which contained my new Roku. I had that baby hooked up in a snap, and we were watching streaming tv and movie rentals in no time! We started with season one of 30 Rock, which Ric hasn't seen. I took a tv break to work on painting, and started on the hallway trim. I got pouty when it came to the slatted laundry closet doors because there's no real way to paint them neatly, so we decided it might be worth the cash to buy new doors. We watched more 30 Rock and Arrested Development that night, and I also Rokued (new word) The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Sunday we went to church and said Happy Father's Day and Happy Birthday to Colin, then headed out to Lowe's. I don't even want to tally up how much of our money they've gotten this year. We bought some texture spray for the wall patch jobs in the bathroom. I spent the afternoon taping and painting while listening to The Last of the Mohicans. We packed up the Pip and went to Ric's parents' house, and we all went out to eat at El Cholo. Not my favorite place, but hey, it was Todd's day, not mine. We played some Sequence and had dessert, and then we went home. At home I Rokued a little bit of Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control, then stopped to watch more 30 Rock with Ric.

Up this week: we're hoping to figure out a way to celebrate Brendan's birthday with him (and catch up with Curtis) and have our usual movie night with the Agadonis, and I might go to the Movies on the Fox event on Thursday, where they'll be showing E.T.
