Finally, the moment we've been waiting for... Anna Nicole's Cause of Death. I thought it'd be something more scandalous. Oh well. I guess I'll take what I can get.

Friday night, we did our usual 1.6 mi walk after work with the dogs, and then watched Mini's First Time. Haha, Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 57% "rotten" rating. I thought it was fairly entertaining for a Friday night. It's got a few big name actors to counter the bad plot, so I think it broke even in the end. Saturday Jenny had 2 business meetings with new clients, and then I had a Pride meeting at the LGBT Center, all the running around left little time for us together, so we stayed in and watched Ocean's 11 & Ocean's 12. I hadn't seen either, and I really liked them both. We'll have to check Ocean's 13 out in the theatre when it's released.

After packing some snacks and the dogs into the Prius, we ventured out Sunday to the Preston-Snoqualmie Trail and hiked about 4 miles. Yes, I hiked. Although, I don't think its really hiking walking on a paved, practically flat, road but it's something. The weather was great, and I really enjoyed the hike when we reached the end and had an awesome view of the falls. We wanted to take a little side trip and hit up the lodge for some wine and appetizer-ish fare but we headed home instead. If we had gone, we would have missed our golden opportunity to gorge ourselves at the XXX Root Beer Drive In, in Issaquah. Kill me now, we completely wasted that 4 mile hike and devoured a Triple X Burger (arguably the biggest burger I have ever eaten), onion rings and a Extra Large Root Beer. What a couple of fatties...



We rolled back to the car, and made it home to clean and prepare mixers before Soo and James came over for dinner (yay!). We met their new puppy, Belle, and sat outside on the deck in the sun with our Vodka Cran's until dinner time. We laughed all night, and even made a pit stop to McDonald's (more like McHeartAttack), and had some dessert. All of us were sleepy by 9pm, and called it a night after Beene went into her crate on her own. Sleepy puppies!

We did so much this weekend. I woke up exhausted this morning. All I wanted to do was stay in bed, nuzzled into Jenny's arm pit. But alas, I am at work, baffled to be typing a blog.

TONIGHT: Running around, maybe tacos for dinner?
THIS WEEK: Super Busy!
THIS WEEKEND: Sat: Meetings Sun: Another Hike?

Back in the saddle...

Ok, so maybe I'll give the new Blogger Beta a shot. I heard horror stories long ago, that some friends I worked with were unable to access their blogspot after upgrading to the new version. I logged in today and Blogger, in it's infinite wisdom, no longer gave me the option to proceed while using the old version. I was cornered. Forced into upgrading! So, hopefully this thing lets me post, as the leaf seems to keep turning and I'm typing out a blog exactly one week since my last. Not bad.

After we bought the Prius, we took it out to the Whidbey Island Dog Beach Sunday. The weather was awesome. We packed PB&J, chips, apples, and some treats for the puppies, and we all piled into the new car. We spent a good 3 hours on the beach, walked from one end to the other. The dogs had such a good time running around off leash, and swimming around. Beene is a little social butterfly and enjoyed running up to all the other dogs and people with her sandy wet paws. They ran so much, they slept the whole way home, completely crashed! I loved spending time in the sun with my wifey, she is so beautiful in the sun.

Brent had introduced me to meebo. This this is rad. You don't have to download any programs, and it logs you into all your IMs and keeps them neatly in one browser. If you haven't tried it, you should.

Well, I guess thats all for now kids. I leave you with my current obsession... a link....
to Perez Hilton (the Queen on All Media) and X17online, for all your celebrity gossip needs.

Looking forward to: Tacos, and a movie tonight with my lovely. *Sigh* Twitterpated... :)
This weekend: Meeting Belle, Soo and James' new puppy!
Next week: ANTM with the ladies.

Absentee Blogger... Day 2

Note: I have stopped and started this blog twice. Just reinforces the entire first paragraph that follows...

I am a horrible blogger. I think committing to blogging is just not something I'm able to do. I think about doing it, but my follow through is severely flawed. Maybe I was a blogger in another life, and the residual need is left but the will power to consistently type about my day is not present. Who knows. However, recent events deserve a blog, so here I go.

1. May 13, 2008 - We have set a date. 5/13/08 will be the anniversary of 2 years since I met Jenny, we are planning our wedding around that date. I am so excited. Details will surely come as it gets closer, but for now I'm just floating on a cloud, and looking up little things daily that will tie into the overall planning. Ceremony in Canada, big reception here in Seattle. Stay tuned.

2. Heather got Hitched! - My little sister got married Feb. 17th. My sister was the chill-est bride ever leading up to the big day. But when it hit, and things started going wrong she went into survival mode! My drunk ass mother decided to make a fool of herself, missed half of the wedding while she was outside smoking and drinking herself into oblivion, and then had the audacity to send her sorry-ass southern boyfriend over to harass me. I was able to avoid prolonged contact with both her and him, and all for the better. I could have slapped her. The groom got some kind of food poisoning and wasn't able to make it through the ceremony before he had to run out the doors vomiting. It was a mess. A puke filled mess. My sister was upset, but pulled it together and they finished the night out strong. Apparently, they had a great honeymoon, so hopefully that will over shadow some of the not so fab moments.

3. NYC & Boston - Jen and I just got back from out trip out East. We spent 4 days in New York and 3 days in Boston. New York was very busy, and all I thought it would be. I loved Boston and could imagine living there. It's such a well thought out city with so much history. I was really powerful being in two great cities and experiencing so much. I am truly grateful Jenny and I were able to share that.

4. The BIGGEST, NEWEST NEWS: We bought a 2007 Toyota Prius! Jenny and I have been mulling over the idea for weeks, and Saturday we went down and did it. We got rid of the 2006 Ranger I just bought, and for good reason. We were getting anywhere between 14-20mpg which is NOTHING. In the Prius we are averaging 52mpg. How insane is that? It is such a wise investment for us. Money may be tight for a little while but its well worth it. (Ps. Its not that expensive to buy one.) A little irony, we bought a green Prius on St. Patrick's Day. The dealership was covered with green balloons, so we have appropriately named it Clover. :)
