Birthday Weekend

Last weekend was J's birthday weekend. I took Thursday and Friday off to have a nice four day weekend with him.

It was glorious.

On Thursday he wanted to do brunch at Snooze, so after a nice sleep in we headed over.

We figured it wouldn't be too busy on a Thursday at 10:00, but we underestimated the popularity of the place. We had to wait half an hour before we were seated. Then we had to wait another forty minutes for our food. People who had been seated after us got their food before we did. I was getting a little nervous, because I had scheduled us massages and the appointment time was approaching. So as soon as our food was put down I asked for the check. I didn't complain about the wait, but the waitress advised that the food was on the house and it's shouldn't have taken that long.

Then we got our massages. 

When we got home, the front yard was flooded. I followed the source to our backyard. We are in the process of installing a sprinkler system ourselves. The connection to the house had been leaking, so J loosened the clamp to tighten it but forgot to tighten the clamp. So it popped off and our backyard and front yard was flooded. So that wasn't great.

We hung out for a bit (I took a nap) and then went out to dinner. Pork on a Fork has delicious brisket. 

When we got home I lit him a candle and we had cake.

Friday was a good day. J had to work a partial day, so I took time to do random things that I had been meaning to do, like sew a hole in a sweater, donate some clothes, and clean off the bookshelf. It was hard letting go of some of my college textbooks (I worked so hard in those math classes!) but I hadn't touched them in ten years so it was time. Plus I got J some new books for his birthday, and we really needed the room.

My Dad's birthday is a day after J's, and then my Mom's birthday is a week after, so we went out to a family dinner. I forgot to take photos, but it was a lot of fun.

Saturday was the Alt AZ 93.3 concert J had been looking forward to. My friend Rich just changed jobs but used to work at a radio station, so he got us free tickets. Saved us about $90, which was awesome.

The concert was a lot of fun. We brought a chair, but would go up to the stage when the bands were performing. We saw Jr Jr, Born, The Congos, and Nate Ruiz. 

After one of the performances was done, we went back to the chair and a (very drunk) girl was sitting there. 

Me: Um, I think you are in my chair.

Drunk girl: Oh yes! I'm sorry! I just needed some place to sit. I was keeping it warm for you. I didn't touch any of your stuff, I promise! (Hands me my sweater that had been sitting on the chair. Pauses.) Oh, did you want it back?

Me: ......Yeah.

There was also a point where J and I had ice cream and a guy walked up to us and said, "I'll give you $20 if I can lick your ice cream." Considering the ice cream cost nowhere near that amount, I told him sure. He grinned and started to bend down and stuck out his tongue. I told him I needed to see the money first. He started laughing and told us he's Canadian and just likes to mess with Americans and thanks for teasing him back.

So no $20 but overall it was a great concert.
