My weekend

I have had a pretty full weekend. On Friday night, I went to a Bees baseball game with two of my roommates (Patti & Jaime) and my singles branch. We had general admission seats so we sat on blankets out on the lawn. Can I just say that one blanket was not enough to cushion my derriere? That ground was hard!! The funny part about the evening was when Jaime called to let me know they were 5 minutes away from the stadium, but they just realized their tickets were sitting on the kitchen counter at home. Otherwise the evening went pretty smoothly. I was a good girl and did not partake in any ball park treats, other than roasted peanuts and a bottle of water.

Saturday I went to see the play "Treasure Island" at the Hale Center Theater. It is so amazing how they utilize that theater. This show's stage featured a ship complete with an area where people were thrown overboard into the water. There was also a very large waterfall that the actors jumped off from into the water.

Following the play, I went to lunch at Golden Corral with my parents. After that we had planned to do family sealings at the Jordan River temple. I guess it was a weekend for forgetting because my dad had accidentally left his wallet at their apartment in Salt Lake. So we had a nice lunch and rescheduled our sealings for this coming Friday at the Salt Lake temple.

The highlight of my afternoon was a trip to Home Depot with Janna & Jaime. Janna purchased a lawn mower, a trellis, and some bricks for edging our flower bed. Janna does not have a large car (Chevy Cobalt). The lawn mower was in a box and the box did not fit in the trunk (even with the back seats down). We determined that the box would fit in the back seat and the bricks could go in the trunk. The trellis was laid on top of the box - and it extended from the rear window to the front of the car. You are probably thinking - how are three people going to fit in that car? I admit it was my bright idea to squish in. After all, I did it in college all the time. How hard could it be? Janna was in the driver's seat and I got into the middle between the two front seats. I was straddling the gear shift (in fact Janna had to keep her had on it as my rear kept knocking the car into neutral). Then Jaime sat in the passenger seat on top of me. So basically my top half was squished in between the two seats with my head practically the backseat. Take a look at the pictures.






Amanda is happy to be out of that car!
