We spent last night at Jen's since it was too late to drive home. I'm oh so sleepy, but at least I was off today!
Friday, I ordered a new monitor, since mine is dying. It is seven years old, so I suppose it's to be expected! Saturday, it seemed we'd never get out of the house. Couldn't find Jen's Xmas gifts and a dozen other little snaffles slowed us down. As we headed out of town, traffic was all backed up going into town on Del Monte -- dopey little anti-war folks snarling it all up. It would have been nice to go out there with a sign to confuse them. "No Oil For Pacifists", or "Save the Environment, Remove Saddam". Looking at their signs, you wonder if they ever met a cliche they didn't like. Funny how none of them are protesting Saddam! I wonder why they aren't demanding he disarm so there is no war, or why they aren't demanding he stop torturing and murdering his people? I think it's because most of them are more driven by hate for their country than they are by any concern for the Iraqi people. Hell, Saddam has slaughtered more of his own people than are killed in most wars! And these protesters supposedly want to save lives? I don't get it. Maybe I need to do drugs to get my brain to figure it all out.
So, we made it out of town, and got to Jen's without further incident. Once there we vegged for a while, then had dinner before going to see"Daredevil" on IMAX. Yipes!! Big and loud!! Movie was okay, but from the ads, I thought there would be more of Jennifer Garner. So that was a little disappointing.
Sunday, I made my infamous French Toast -- but needing a rename to remove the word "French" [g] -- April made her cooked drinking chocolate, and Jen made lots of bacon. We then watched the DVD of Lethal Weapon while April redesigned her blog (Jen and Dave have a new 21' monitor). Then came the moment we'd all been waiting for!! We recreated Coffee Diablo! Considering all we had was the video Jen made of the preparation when we were in Reno, it came out remarkably close to what we remembered tasting in October. Then we watched XXX, had dinner where there was much discussion as to what we should do for my 40th BD in July. Many ideas, but noting I'm sure I can afford! We then watched Sweet Home Alabama" -- good movie! -- and last, but not least, we hit the hot tub and drank a little champagne. April didn't want to hot tub, so she was our Cabana Girl [g]
A few hours sleep, then it was back home so April could be at work by 9am. I took a nap, and now am procrastinating building the new desk I bought so my new monitor will have a place to sit when it comes in tomorrow.
