Hooray for 3-day weekends!

Friday night I spent a girl's night with Rachel and a few other girls from work. Travis went to play disk golf with Robert and another friend. He ended up winning the course, so they treated him to dinner and a couple drinks at the bar just outside the park.

Girl's night was fun. I wish I would have known how much awesome food was going to be there because then I wouldn't have had dinner before I went! We talked for a while and then watched Bride Wars. I've seen it before, but I still thought it was funny.

Rachel had picked me up on our way up to the party so we could drive together. She has a GPS that her and her mother have lovingly named Joan. Joan did a great job of getting us TO the party, but not a not-so-great job of getting us home. Because we spent our drive so focused on Joan's directions to the house, we could not remember how to back out of the neighborhood. Instead, we relied on the GPS. We went about one block in the opposite direction from which we came in, because Rachel had parked facing that way. Therefore, Joan "recalculated" the directions out from over there. Unfortunately, the way she wanted us to go involved an impassible road under construction. According to the map on the GPS, we could drive a block further and hit another road to pass everything. But once we got there, we quickly realized it was a cul de sac - not a road we could take.

No problem. We'll go back a block, then go up a block and turn around there. AGAIN - hit a cul de sac, not a through road. By this point, Rachel and I were laughing so hard she had to stop the car in the middle of the road. We just kept going in this manner until we hit a main road that took us out. There was a Comcast truck coming in from that direction and we figured he had to be coming from somewhere. Thankfully, we made it otu of that subdivision. The sad part is it took us about 7 minutes longer to get out than it did to get in. We were laughing that if we had to call the party hostess for directions she would wonder what the hell we were still doing in her neighborhood 10 minutes after we had left. LOL!

Saturday was a laid back day. I did a few things around the house and then headed up to Alexa's for the day. Chris is out of town on a series of three trips that span a week so she was getting lonely. Even though he was sick, Blair was a great source of entertainment. It entertains me to no end to watch a kid learning and exploring things for the first time. He's a walking, talking fool these days. I can't believe it's only been a year since he was this little bundle that just stared at you when you held him. Kids sure grow up fast, huh?
