Wow, I thought I'd be up to almost nothing this week, but actually, I've only been home long enough to sleep and watch the premiere of Project Runway.

Monday at work, we all went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant to celebrate some birthdays. That night I went grocery shopping and figured I'd rest, but Ric was up for a movie, so we went to see Semi-Pro. Review to come, as always! The list gets longer and longer.

Tuesday, we had an office party at work for the birthdays. That afternoon, I got an IM from Tina, an old friend from high school, who said that Gina, another one of my friends from high school, was in town and they wanted to have dinner together. I have missed almost every time they have invited me to hang out because I'm either out of town or already have something I have to go to. So, they finally caught me on a day when I had no plans, and we all caught up with each other at the Yard House in Irvine. After the restaurant, we asked the Merry-Go-Round attendant to take our photo, and she actually let us ride for free before the photo shoot. That was nice of her. It was good to catch up with old friends, although also a little bit weird to realize how much time has passed and how many things have gone on in our lives that we missed out on.

Here we are, 5 years after the last time we saw each other (my wedding) and 10 years after the last time we hung out together. I think I'm the only one who looks almost exactly the same. I don't like change:

Wednesday we didn't have any parties at work, but we went to a financial advising appointment and then had movie night with Ryan and Amy. My dad called last-minute to say that Stray Dog needed some food, so we make a quick stop before movie night to pick up some food from the store and drop it by my parents' house. My dad had taken the dog to get groomed. He's a cutie. Anyone want to adopt a friendly abandoned dog?:

On top of all that, we're meeting up with Kristen tomorrow evening. I'm hoping that I'll have time enough tonight to actually see the upstairs of my condo and do some dishes too.
