We had a productive and really fun weekend …

On Friday we bought a DVD burner which is pretty exciting stuff … at least for David and I …

On Saturday we went to my parents house with Sharon, Steve, Andrew, Jason, Jenny and Eliana and had a birthday party for Jenny and an anniversary party for Jason and Jenny … we really had a great time … my mom made lasagna and we had the funniest cake … my mom got a carrot cake and for some reason when she opened the box it looked like the cake had exploded … it was fine at the store but it was in a bunch of pieces … so my mom stuck a votive candle in the center for Jenny to blow out … it was pretty funny …

Today David and I took a trip to Target … which we won’t have to travel so far soon … [in March there will be a new one right down the street from our house] … so we went to Target to do a little shopping and ours is a 2 story Target … there is actually an escalator for the shopping cart … it is a pretty cool set up but years ago when my mom and I were there we put a cart on that has something on the bottom that actually fell off and jammed the system … my mom walked away laughing her ass off and I had to stand there and wait for someone to unjam the thing … today about half way up the cart made a loud sound just one time and David said, “Is that what it sounded like when it happened to you?” … I told him it didn’t really make any noise and then all of a sudden the cart was stuck and making the loudest most obnoxious sound … it was crazy … and we both just started laughing … they had to shut the escalator off … some guy had to slide down from the top and he couldn’t get the cart unjammed … and it wasn’t because I had something on the bottom … the system just jammed … so he started pushing it back down all the while making this huge racket … drawing attention from everyone who was shopping for school supplies at the top of the escalator … a crowd started to form and a woman walked by and said, “To be honest with you I am so glad that is your cart rather than mine” … eventually they got the system to work again and we finally got our stuff but it sure was funny …

tonight we went to the local Silver Diner for their car show … some of the most beautiful cars from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s … we took some great photos and I’ll download them soon … there really were some fantastic cars … we walked around for a long time checking out cars and taking pictures and then had dinner at the diner … it was a great evening and really a fun weekend …

and now it is time to kick back … watch some TV and get ready for a new week of work …
