Had a good Memorial Day weekend.

On Friday lordaerith and I bought a little portable propane grill because we were tired of not having a grill and this one we can take with us :) So we grilled a lot over the weekend. There were hamburgers and hot dogs on Friday, chicken and zucchini on Saturday and bison steaks and asparagus on Sunday, and we're thinking more burgers and sausages this week. Also we tried grilling peaches for dessert on Saturday...they came out okay, but it probably would have turned out better if they had actually split in half when we cut them instead of resisting being pulled apart and falling apart/getting mushy in spectacular ways.

We also played a lot of World of Warcraft, which was what I wanted to do. Got my Tauren Druid a few more levels (so close to level 30 and a mount!) and I even made some money at the auction house! Ran our Blood Elves for a bit yesterday. Man, that guild is silly. Undercity is very confusing. Also, Ogrimmar (Ogrimmar...I got an Ogrimmar slaying knife, it has a +9 against Ogrimmar) doesn't have a Druid trainer but Silvermoon does.

Did go shopping on Saturday. We both got much needed new headphones for our iPhones. I can hear people again, yay!

Lastly, this weekend we started on Operation Reclaim Bathroom From Cats (ORCBRFC). Made some headway but it's still to early to tell who's winning.

Edit: I forgot to mention the joy of being woken up at 5am this morning by Natasha, who was right next to me, starting to cough up a hairball. She ran out into the living room and I ran out after her (to try to get to her in time to pick her up and get her on tile) and so then I had to clean up her hairball. Left me rather awake and made it hard to fall back asleep.

all in all i had a good weekend.

saturday aerith, threegee, and I went to Six Flags. we went on the scream again. OMG!! What a rush!! I wasn't going to scream, but i did. i guess that's why they call it that. then we met up with Amythyst, Fox, and Alison. They went to the water park and we walked around a bit more (but the line for the superman was soooo huge that we decided to forget it). then we went to the water park, but we couldn't find the girls. we wandered around for 2 hours (and went on some rides too) but didn't see them. Oh well. I really like the water park, but we all got sunburned. I didn't get it as badly as the guys (haha, i'm not a pale, skrawny white boy). So, now i am nice and tan and the olive coloring in my skin is sbowing. i'd like it more if the slight redness on my face went down just a little bit.

so, after the park, we cleaned up the apartment (shock of shocks) with the expectation that the girls and some others were coming over to bbq, but only 2 people showed up. it seems as if Amythyst and Fox were too tired to show. that saddens me a little b/c i really wanted them to come over. oh well. i'm sure there'll be more times for bbqs in the future.

after Alison went home, aerith played ffvii and i read "The Invisible Ring" for a while.

on sunday i read the rest of "The Invisible Ring". I really liked it. I can't wait to read more of Ann Bishop's work!
Aerith played more FFVII. he was breading Chocobos. When he was racing them we were betting 3 kisses per race as to who would come in second (b/c my love usually would come in first). by 11pm I was at 4 and he was at 2. betting kisses is fun ;)

I also called my dad and now i have a 30% chance of getting his car when he goes to Europe next year. well, 30% is better than almost none, so i'm excited.

so, now i'm at work and I wish that Pat had the GO-LIVE thing ready so i wouldn't be bored. but at least i have The Hobbit with me.
