Sunday we wanted to go to a play, Saturday’s Voyeur, but it was sold out and we couldn’t get tickets. So, Debi and I spent the day kind of lounging until the early afternoon then headed up to my parents’ house for dinner. Most of my siblings where there and we were able to plan for the next day (see tomorrow). We stayed up at my parents’ house until around 10:00 pm, when we headed back to Debi’s parents’ house for the night.
Saturday was basically all about Suzy’s shower. We got up early and went shopping for food and other shower-related supplies. We picked up a ton of food (including meat trays and such), then I dropped Debi and Shalynn off to get that stuff arranged while I went shopping for a few other things. We spent the rest of the morning and the early afternoon getting everything set up. Then I made some oatmeal raisin cookies and washed dishes for the shower during the actual event. We thought it went well - the idea of giving invitees movies around which they were supposed to make their purchases seemed to be a hit. At least, everyone seemed to think it was enjoyable. We spent most of the rest of Saturday lounging around. I made a dinner salad (veggie chicken, couscous, and feta cheese) then we watched a little TV. Debi and I also decided to go dancing at the Murray Arts Center where we used to do ballet. We hadn’t been there in years. It was fun. We danced a bit but spent most of the time talking to people we knew from our time there. We stayed until about 1:00 am.
We flew into Utah on Friday, the 18th, arriving around noon. We lounged around most of the first day, then went to Subway with Steve, Suzy, and Mike, one of Steve’s close friends. We then rented RV and watched that; it was surprisingly funny.
I saw a link to this website on Slashdot this morning. I got a good laugh out of it. But I have to admit I’m not a big enough trekkie to actually have understood all of the posters… Oh well.
Thanks to my participation in the Butter sculpting (see my post on it a few weeks ago), I received two free tickets to the fair along with four coupons for free dairy products. Debi and I considered going, but ultimately decided against it. If you know anyone planning on going to the fair before it ends tomorrow night, have them shoot me an email or give me a call and I’ll happily give them my free tickets and coupons.
(And if you need to ask me for my email or phone number, well, you probably shouldn’t know it ;) … )
