These are gonna be some late nights...

I've dreaded this week... but at least it's finally here. It's not only month- or quarter-end at work. It's the end of our half-year. And in addition to the additional reports, I also have to help cover for my boss who's on maternity leave. Well, not everything she does (that would be lying)... But I will have a lot on my plate for the next three days.

I had a really great weekend. A couple of friends have a family beach house in Ocean Shores. They invited three couples to come out, relax, and just hang (since we haven't done that in awhile). We had a really good time together. The highlights from the weekend include:

1. Yahtzee - A dice game which I played as a kid. Couldn't believe this game was sitting in the shelf at the house. I showed my friends how to play and we had hours of fun!
2. Backyardigans - for the only baby who came along on the trip. DVD of this kid's show played over and over and over and over... and over and over... and over again. No worries - kept the little cutie preoccupied
3. Heart Attack - a fun card game. I'll have to post the rules another time.
4. Flying Kites - I haven't flown a kite since I was 8 years old. Now I have one of my own to fly whenever it's windy here in Seattle. Such a great feeling to control the flying beast.

Actually, the whole weekend was a huge highlight. Just when I thought I was out of touch with my ol' friends, a weekend like this come along to remind me that these people will be with me the rest of my life. School's taken up so much of my time and prevented me from hanging with these guys. I'm sure I'll have more time to see them once I'm eventually done with my degree. Off to bed I go...
