Weekend Update With Dodger_Sister.

So the Birthday Weekend went very well! The weather was not 100% but we worked around it. We were outside with our feet in the pool for a half hour or so when it started to rain. It was just sprinkles and our feet were already wet, so what the hell. But then it started to rain harder. Luckily there is an overhang where we have the picnic table and the grill, so we could stay outside. And why yes, we did watch The Hobbit for the 5th or 6th time since it came out in the theater - what of it? We also watched the Community Paintball Trilogy, the pilot of Defiance, some S2 SPN (Nightshifter & Folsom Prison Blues) and the girls watched some Pretty Little Liars in the morning.

There was great food too, like an orgasm in my mouth. The grilled apricot was like a taste explosion! And the chicken and veggies were glazed with some kind of peanut sauce and it was heavenly. But the best were the tiny little potatoes. Besides being all wee and cute (and purple!) they were the best thing my mouth has ever tasted. I'm not even kidding. We had the leftovers tonight and I have never been so excited for dinner in my life. It was ridiculous. (And there is just enough left for one more meal!)

Oh, also...dudes, The Sister's BFF brought her one extra present I didn't know about. She got her the official WETA replica of Thorin's map! It's so cool. And if you hold it up to the light, you can see the runes!! My sis is going to take it in to a framing place and see if they can help her get a light-box for it. I can't wait for The Nephew to see it!

( The only downside to the weekend was... )

That minor annoyance aside...Very. Excellent. Weekend.
