I know what you did last weekend
Friday night: Hung out with Sprizee and Sally for noodles and then some Chantico at Starbucks. Chatted in person about blogs and our virtual friends as well as those we meet in person. They both were snapping photos the entire time. Not sure why those photos haven't been posted yet, but I am sure they will surface on the net shortly.
Saturday: Got some bagels for breakfast and met up with my friend Marcus, who ran 8 miles earlier, at our house and shot the shit. Forced him to read through all my blog entries and read over his should the entire time. Also bragged to him about our garage which I spent last Sunday cleaning. Took pics of an opossum wandering the neighborhood in the middle of the day. After both my beloved friends, Marcus and the opossum, left we drove to the local outdoor store, REI, and bought my wife a pair of snowshoes and some warm winter clothing.
We got back home back home and for a bit then decided we would go see Sideways. Loved it! One of the best movies I have seen in a while. It was a very raw and gritty portrayal of two college buddies. The characters were so believable and the scipt was amazing. Laughed out loud for a good portion of this movie. It felt like the movie was a sequel to Swingers about ten years after their Vegas trip. Easily one of the better movies I have seen recently. Stayed up late reading the countless ways I could die in an avalanche.
Sunday: Got up and had a fresh layer of 2-3 inches of snow on the ground. Yes! Seattle goes crazy for snow for those of you not from around here. It's quite comical how nuts this town goes over snow... myself included. Even with snow on the ground at our house, we hopped in our Subaru Impreza and headed east off for Snoqualmie Pass in the Cascades. Put on the snowshoes and hiked around for a couple hours in the beautiful scenery. This was our first experience snowshoeing and we loved it. I took numerous photos during our outdoor excursion. Drove 50 minutes west back to Seattle and read some more about snowshoeing at home. Now I want to summit Mt. St. Helens in the winter on snowshoes. I have done it three times in the summer, but this would be a different experience, especially if the mountain remains active.
Watched the premier of 24 on Fox and some other shows and now blogging into the night. The weekend couldn't have been much better. Hope you all had pretty good weekends. Have a good week!
P.S. Didn't make it to the Survivor audition on Saturday.
