A wonderful weekend!

Hey! This last weekend was a good one! Friday night we didn't do much but as long as we're together I'm happy. Saturday was a fun and busy day! Ray got up and went to mow his mom's lawn. (not an easy task in the rain) and I went to see my aunt and cousins who I haven't seen since like January. So Erica (12), Tara (8) and my aunt and I played the new version of clue. It was actually pretty fun once you get the hang of it. Then Ray and I headed down to Seattle for our first Mariner's game of the season (we get a lot of the company tickets because not many people like going since they lose a lot).

We had a yummy polish sausage on the street outside. It's much better than the ones inside and a lot cheaper too. It was hard to eat since it was rainy and windy but with those onions...yuummmm. I got some garlic fries in the stadium. I really like them, I really like garlic but they do smell better than they taste. I ordered a Dr Pepper (yes I'm still hooked) in the big souviner cup because I use it for water here at work (I still have last years on my desk). Well, they gave me Diet Pepsi instead and so I waited in line to get a new one and the lady behind me was shocked that I waited so long just for that (I guess I'm just too nice to cut in front of people). The game was soooo cold. It was warm when we left the house (even though it was raining) so we didn't think of bringing a blanket along...big mistake. We froze! It was a pretty boring game but the ceremony before the game was nice.

It was Dan Wilson farewell night. He has been the Mariner's catcher for 12 years!! It was so sad to watch him leave. They had a great ceremony for him. Now I've had to say goodbye to Edgar and to Dan and both nights made me cry. It's funny how sometimes it seems like we really know them just because they've been here for so long.

So on Sat night after the game we went and rented 'Crash'. We were almost done withthe movie and it froze! So now I have to wait to get it on NETFLIX to know how it ends. At least we got a refund since we couldn't see the end!

On Sunday I went shopping and to lunch with Olga. She needed some new shoes to go with the gorgeous new suit she got to wear to meet Dick Cheney. She is on a friend's campaign crew, he is running for congress and they are having lunch with Cheney on the 17th (she is beyond excited). I saw an apron (I didn't have one yet!) in Williams & Sonoma that I loved and she got that and a pink spatula for me! :D So nice of her! I love them! They match my kitchenaid mixer! :D We had lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. We both had the Grilled Chicken Avacado Club...the most delicious sandwich ever! I gave her my tomotoes and I got her bacon...:D I had chocolate raspberry truffle cheesecake...that was very very rich! I had to save some for lunch today. I got Ray some to take home, just the original for plain ol' Ray and he said he likes MY cheesecake more than theirs! :D (and he meant it, I could tell by his face when he took his first bite, he wasn't too impressed)

So, that was my fun weekend, I'm off now so I'm going to go get my first college book, I start next Monday and I'm nervous!
