it’s been a crazy couple of days to be sure and finally things are calm once again. so what’s happened?

well, it was a short work week for me, since monday was a holday, friday a normal day off and thursday a day off i took to have an air conditioner installed in my house. yes, that’s right. no more listening to me bitch about how hot it is in my house. i’ve finally joined the rest of civilized society :)

went to pick up my sis on thursday and we pretty much just hung out at the house and watched the pats game. she knows i can’t stand the pats but i was a good sport about it :-P friday, it felt like we spent the entire day in my car with a long drive up to napa and an even longer drive stuck in traffic on the way back. but it was a nice trip. we started at sterling and on the way we both realized we forgot our cameras. oh well. we had lunch at v. sattui and ended the day at bv. in the end, we bought something like 22 bottles of wine, only 9 of which were mine.

saturday was the previously mentioned company picnic down in santa cruz. my sis and i made our appearance right as the food was being served and i won some free passes to laser tag in the raffle. which was cool, but i wanted the 17″ LCD TV which was the grand prize. doh… we left around 2.30pm (or so) and headed to my cousins’ new house to celebrate my aunt’s birthday. then we went to my other cousins’ new house and hung out for a while. that was pretty cool.

my sis left butt-early sunday morning so i took her to the airport at 5am and came home and went back to sleep. woke up at like 8.30am and did my normal sunday routine. at youth group we had a discussion/debate on friendship & betraying a confidence if a friend had a drinking problem. somehow the conversation migrated to suicide and i think we had a great talk. i really like the group of teens that we have had the last few weeks and i’m looking forward to this upcoming year.

so what’s on the plate for the upcoming weeks? wednesday is the first day of ILM which is something that i’m strangely looking forward to. the weekend of the 24th my cousin and i are going to take a photographic field excursion. not sure where yet, but prolly something like point reyes for our first trip. hopefully it’ll be the first of many to come :)

october is even crazier, but i’ll deal with it when it comes. oi, i should get back to cleaning the house…
