And then she slept.

It’s been a crazy-busy few weeks.. Lets see if I can recap smile

A few weekends ago on the 15th Michelle and I had a “girls day” which consisted of yummy lunch at Ruby Tuesday, a 90 minute time-share schpiel to get a free trip to Vegas (Airfare included baby!) and of course a trip to Target.. We can’t have a girls day out without a trip to Target!

On the 22nd Mike had to work all day, so I ventured out and bought a lawn mower.. That was an interesting ordeal, getting the lawn mower into the trunk of my civic.  But I managed to get it home, put it together, turned it on and mowed the yard! Twice! It needed it so bad.. The grass was out of control, it needed 2 mowings in 1 day.  I also sprayed moss killer on the lawn and hosed off the driveway.. I felt so.. handy smile That night we met up with Michelle and Nate at McMenamins for beers before heading to Sunset Lanes for a few games of bowling.  Fun times smile

On Easter, my sister, Michelle and Nate came over for food, games and hanging out.  I made a HUGE ham, potatoes and green beans.  We also had snacks, dip, crackers, fruit, bloody mary’s, etc..  Good times were had.. We played some games and just hung out smile

This last weekend was a pretty busy one.  Josh came down to visit from Spokane.  Friday night a bunch of us went to Buffalo Wild Wings after happy hour for dinner and ate far too much food for our own good.  Saturday we got up and went to Startupalooza which was actually pretty cool.  It was fun hearing about the different success (and sometimes not so much) stories of Portland entrepreneurs.  Matt and Bill 2 of Jive’s founders also spoke, which was pretty cool.  Got a lot of great insight and ideas for if/when we ever start our own business smile

After Startupalooza we had our house warming party which in my opinion was a success.  We had a full house of friends over to hang out, drink some wine and beer, play games and eat chili and cornbread that I made!  It was a very funtime and I’m pretty sure we all had a great time smile

Sunday we spent recooperating from the last couple of months of go-go-go before going back to work for Month/Quarter end, where I worked 2 15 hour days in a row. Ugh.

This coming weekend is looking to be nice so far.  I’m off of work on Friday so I’m going to get a massage and then head down to Dosha for a manicure and pedicure.
