.jeri.

Well, this weekend I tried to liven things up a little more. I've had the itch to do more than just sit around the house on my weekends.

On Friday, I teamed up with my mom and my sister, and we drove to Fashion Island in Newport. I had never been there before. Honestly, I'd rather just go to South Coast Plaza. I had a delicious salad and pesto pasta at a restaurant, but it made me sick later on. Yet another of my food allergies that I can't quite pin down, I guess. We got back from shopping in the evening, and I crashed for a couple of hours. I got up to watch tv with Ric and then called it a night.

Saturday I slept in and then went straight to work on painting trim in our hallway. It's tedious work. In the late afternoon we joined forces with the Hutchinseses and drove out to Newport to have dinner on the water at Joe's Crab Shack. We ate mighty big portions of mighty fine food, went out for a walk on the windy pier, and had gelato and shakes at a local shop before heading home.

Sunday I went to church while Ric stayed home (feeling unwell) and saw the Andersons for a bit. I went grocery shopping and then came home to do more paint work. In the evening we went to Brea to see WALL-E, which is worth every penny. It did my soul well. We spent the rest of the night watching Arrested Development.

Up this week: Fellowship of the Ring at the Academy with Brendan and Curtis, movie night with Ryan and Amy, and a visit from the Arizona family!
