So, yes, I need to talk about last weekend because it was pretty awesome.

Trent and Caroline didn't have the kidface (visiting gramma's!) over the weekend, so we hung out both Friday AND Saturday.

The guys were working a little late on Friday, so Caroline came over and we ordered pizza and were eating it and watching Beauty and the Beast when Steve and Trent got in.

After that, we went the Forum Shops and wandered around for forever. First stop, of course, was FAO Schwarz. That's where I found the BEE SEAL. It was on sale for $16 so I got it. I carried it around for about half an hour while we walked around the store (they got rid of the third level... bleh!), which means a definite buy, because sometimes I carry something around for ten minutes and then decide against buying it and put it down somewhere.

More walking around the shops, lots of walking. Much thirst ensued, so we grabbed some overpriced refreshments. More walking. The shoes I was wearing were hurting my feet. D:

We made our way back out and then went to this Irish pub we like and had some drinks and nibbles and chatted and listened to the cover band playing (their version of "Hey Ya" was pretty amusing).

Saturday night, we wandered around The District and then went to PF Chang's for dinner, and it was quite excellent. Usually that place is kind of so-so, but everything was really good that night.

Back to the pub again for more of the same as Friday night, only this time there was a band accompanied by a woman doing that Irish stepdancing stuff. Pretty cool. Very percussive.

On the way back, we saw a kit fox, sitting in the middle of the road licking itself. Steve had to slow down the car to avoid hitting it, and it scampered off.

Really good weekend overall, even including the hours-long nap Steve and I took on Saturday. It IS pretty nice to do that from time to time. Sleeping just to sleep, mmm.

And now we have a three day weekend coming up. Hooray!

Last weekend:
Steve and I had breakfast at IHOP with Trent and Caroline and their son. They gave me gift card to Barnes & Noble for my birthday, which has already been used. :D Thanks again!

Went to dinner at Chili's with Steve's parents for my birthday. Got some birthday money. Hooray! Prolonged birthdays are awesome!

This past week:
Work got busy again, thankfully. I got some real phonecalls, too, actually (I mostly get pre-recorded crap and solicitors). Handled some things with opposing counsel's clients and got to feel all paralegally and stuff. I was in my manager's office at one point, probably around Thursday, and she commented that I've been doing so well it's like I've been a paralegal for a long time, haha.

Trent and Caroline are coming over for dinner tonight. Steve made spaghetti. :9

Future:
Next weekend, it will be fondue. We got a fondue set at Macy's yesterday. Also a hen and rooster salt and pepper shaker set. >.> Chicken stuff.

My Dad's birthday is tomorrow. I sent him a card and since I didn't know what gift to give him, I drew a picture of a sun conure wearing a party hat that reads "Happy Bird-day!" At least I'll be relatively certain that none of my other siblings did the same thing.

I think there was something else I wanted to mention, but I've forgotten it now.
