I was expecting to be working on Thursday and Friday, but that didn't happen, so Thursday got freed up to go with them to Lunch at Zack's with the DVCC crew. Jen was on her spring break, so she came along too.
Jen's brother David has his break too last weekend, so we rescued him on Friday night and hung out with him. We just took him out to dinner at Hamburger Hamlet and sat around and watched PCU. He hadn't been out of his house all week, so we needed to hang out with him a little.
Saturday night was the big night out. 10 of us met at Dominico's for PIZZA and BEER. And damn did we eat a lot. There was a idea of going to the movies, but most people really just wanted to hang out and shoot the shit with John and Kate. Will and I both have a terrible dislike for crowds on a Saturday night (unless they are waiting in line for a geek movie), so we ruled out just about everything in old town pasadena or hollywood. The only thing left was the bar at the Ritz Carlton in San Marino. When we arrived we had no problem getting a huge table outside on the patio where we ended up sitting the rest of the night. The place actually was full, but not really really packed like most places would be. At this point i had already drank enough at Dominico's but i'm a glutton for punishment. At the ritz i finished off most of a bottle of wine, a newcastle and then dug into the tequila. Well needless to say i WAS NOT driving. Will had begun off the night picking Jen and I up and driving everywhere. (thanks dood)
So that leads to a Sunday morning with the worst headache in recent months. And on top of it Jen is up at the crack of dawn getting ready for easter morning with her parents. So i had to drag my ass out of bed and get ready. We arrived over at their place at 8:30 and had breakfast with the family. Then the ritual hunting of eggs and chocolate begins. Then to golf. I started watching the early coverage of the Masters at Jen's parent's house. Right after the final pairing with Mickelson teed off we ran over to my parent's house for brunch. So over at my house, my mom had cooked for the massed. My brother, uncle joe, vera, jonathan and jenna (and we dragged jen's brother with us) were all there. We had a great meal and sat around blabing about all the usual crap. After we were pleasantly stuffed, we sat the rest of the afternoon watching the rest of the 2004 masters championship (and watching the lakers fall apart). After a certain point, we didnt even bother switching the channel and checking on the lakers score. It just got too depressing. So we were all silent for Mickelson's birdie put on 18 and all cheering when he made it. Jen and i dropped David back off at his house and then inherited a HUGE farmer john ham that Jen's father had acquired at a grocery store. So suddenly Jen and i have WAY TOO MUCH FOOD in our fridge. I cooked mashed potatoes and we had ham that night. Jen and I both had done so much eating all day that we didn't make much of a dent in the food .
Monday jen had to get back to work, and i did a bunch of little things at home. We went over to the Snare's house to have dinner with Kevin Shannon John and Kate. We hung out there just catching up and had a great dinner cooked by Shannon.
John and Kate take off for the east coast today and i don't think i'm going to get out of the house that much for a little while. I'm burnt out. Damn, but i'm gonna have to start driving to work.
