The rest of the weekend.

Anyways...after Friday nite..i originally thought i had a busy weekend planned. When i looked at it again though, i found that i could actually just step back and take a time out. Saturday morning, Karen and i decided to make breakfast and clean up around the house. After sprinkling strawberries and powered suger over her first ever french toast, we ate breakfast and later went out to rake the yard. She had to leave to pick up a friend from the airport and i effectively passed out tired after she left. Didn't wake up till midnite (missing my friend's bday party) and totally energized at such a late hour. I then proceeded to watch a the MUMMY with the director's dialog and clean my room. I find it a lot more interesting to see the background and understanding of how a piece of work comes together...much like my interest in history (in a general sense). Anyways...movie and cleaning leads to another late nite.

I wake up Sun morning to Justin's call about going to dragonboat. Its soon followed my my cousin's call to come over for pancakes (seems we were the only ones in town as family went to Vegas. Damn...maybe next week). Well..it got me out of bed and on the road to pick up my sister and see Justin and Mel (who were competeting..and had driven down from Norcal). After much driving..and asking people for directions (both the gas station guy and the Ruby's owner were from OC..and had no clue about directions in Long Beach)...we finally found it. Watched a couple races and caught up with Justin. It was a beautiful day..a bit on the hot side. Couldn't believe how many teams and people were out there. Marveled at all the names...TeamLARD, Ripple Effects, Killer Guppies, GUnutz...high school teams as well as teams from other states.

Well..the best part of the weekend was just spending time with my sis. We caught up on a lot of things and just enjoyed the day and each other's company.
