Sunday night we had dinner with my mom at her house along with Jenn's dad and brother. It was a little bit awkward but mum made some apple pie, so all was well. The next day Jenn and I took a little trip back to 1876 and I snapped a couple nice black and white photos during a hike in the foothills. The only camera that I had on me was my cell phone. It doesn't recreate color well, so generally I take black and white pictures when appropriate.
Afterwards, I took a much needed nap in the parking lot of a waxing salon -- amidst inquiring glances -- whilst Jenn finished prepping for another intense round of wedding dress shopping. Soon it was time to head to my dad's for birthday dinner number two. We had a nice spaghetti dinner and a crumble (yes dad, crumble) for dessert.
On my actual birthday, Tuesday, we mostly just lounged around the house and had some much needed relaxation. I spent the morning brewing a batch of beer in my new Mr. Beer Home Brewing Kit and Jenn made me a delicious Angel Food cake.
Ironically, that very same day Sprint held a quarterly drawing for prizes. Under our current system, you earn points based on your attendance. The point totals are then broken up into different tiers and you qualify for different prizes based on how many points you have. The very top prizes are pretty amazing. I believe they were paid trips to Las Vegas this quarter. At any rate, I won a $300 Tivo HD digital video recorder (like a digital VCR), which was waiting for me upon my return. Jenn and I don't actually have cable so I am unsure what to make of this gift, as it is a little cumbersome for a paperweight. I am deciding between selling it on Ebay or possibly leaving it at one of my parent's houses while I am on vacation to record some shows, hehe.
Notable birthday loot is as follows:
Special thanks to my brother, Nathan, for the pickle.
