I'm back! I spent a weekend with VA family in Annandale, the godfather and his little clan. They just bought a new house, moved in this past December so we visited. We had originally planned to go to New Orleans [with Justin], but upon planning got more complicated so frak it all. Tim drove us down where we hung out with the whole clan instead. That was better anyhow. We were fed and had free quarters for the weekend. We parked the rental at their old house as they didn't have a visitor pass & the rental would've gotten towed. Teeter Guy rented Traitor & Tropic Thunder for us. Watched Traitor the first night, after inhaling some chinese take out. Don Cheadle was great in Traitor btw. Justin stayed up talking with us til 3am. I forget he's almost 19, baby Justin! He's got such funny stories. 2nd day, we began early with a bball game of the 14 yr old variety. Janne was playing, his team one. Good d by the good kid. Then lunchtime followed by a tour of George Mason U where Justin goes to school. We all took back a sweatshirt, even bought Justin one. He said the only ones he had were the free kind. The kid works at the gym & lives in a considerably large room with 4 other boys. No privacy there. My cousins are so cute and they're such good kids. It's crazy! Then after mass at St. James, they took us to Koi Koi for Dawn's bday celebration. We ordered 12 rolls of sushi. TWELVE. It looked like alot but trust that it was all gone in 15 minutes. By far, the baked white fish roll was excellent. First ever warm sushi I had. Plus all the lemonade you could drink. Back to there house after a brief grocery trip and then it was Tropic Thunder while we digested our sushi. Constipation city here we come... Early next day, we all got up and had bfast together. Justin told me before going to bed the night before to wake him up to have bfast with us before leaving. The rental had to be back before 3pm on Sunday. After that & watching the end of Bubbleboy, we headed out. Made it to Budget lot exactly at 3pm. Got picked up by Kuya Uge at Terminal C via airtrain. We had perfect timing, right during the Cardinals vs. Eagles game. Cards won. =) Lesson learned, in the NY/NJ area you cannot rent cars with debit cards. They must be credit cards upon check in.
Dawn's 22nd today. She basically play Force Unleased for Wii all day which resulted in a headache so our earlier plans to go to Famous Dave's per her wish were squashed. So Tim and I went to Wegman's and got supplies. I totally forgot about making spaghetti for birthdays! We got the spaghetti, salad, and ice cream cake. She wanted it even though it's cold as hell outside. Ate during house and watched the Celtics kick Suns' ass and the Devils kick Nashville's. All in all, a quiet day. I had a lovely morning with Joaquin too and watched Bring It On: All or Nothing and Beauty Shop.
Happy Happy 22nd Birthday Dawn!
Goodbye President Bush!
May Dr. MLK's peaceful ideals continue to live on in the spirit of humanity.
