! can only take so much Fred Savage..

• Hey there folks. I'm back. Weekend was pretty fun, since it was my monthly trip to Lodi. Lemme break down what happened. Friday afternoon I worked @ Traffic, and that was okay. After work I originally had plans to go to Fernando's house and hang out, but I was pretty tired so I decided to lounge around at home instead. I ate dinner and had a few drinks with Cathy and TJ, then Alisha came over too. I went to bed around 11:30pm since I had to get up at 6 the next day. Cathy later told me that Jeff came over soon after and everyone stayed up until 3am. Good thing I didn't stay up and party, I can't run on 3 hours of sleep without becoming a walking zombie.
  
• Saturday I worked in SF, and got back to Bayfair BART a little before 2pm. I stopped at Starbucks to pee and get a decaf caramel macchiato then off to Lodi I went. Cathy was also going to Kimmie's to spend just the afternoon, and she left San Lorenzo a few minutes before I did. In Tracy I got a call from Cathy, and we realized I was only a mile or two behind her. I tried to catch up, but to no avail. Once we got to Kimmie's house, we had a lot of fun. Her niece Joyce was there to also spend the weekend with us. She's a great kid but can be a bit obnoxious at times. So first thing we did is watch NKOTB's Step By Step home video, one of the classics. Then Joyce put on the Hangin Tough album since everyone likes seeing me dance like a moron. Once we got that out of our systems we watched 4 episodes of the Wonder Years (one of Kimmie's Xmas presents from me, bootlegged but oh well). Soon everyone was hungry so Joyce went with me to Foster's Freeze to get dinner and Arco to fill up my gas tank. When we got back we watched Ernest Saves Christmas and Jack Frost (two movies that Kimmie gave me). While lounging around viewing Ernest save Santa's butt, I busted out the Mad Libs. I love putting gross words in there, its so awesome. After Jack Frost was over, we decided it was time for bed. I was tired and everyone needed their sleep.
  
• Sunday morning I woke up around 8:30-9am and hopped in the shower. We had to be ready by 10:30 since Kimmie's Dial-A-Ride was coming. We were barely ready on time but somehow made it. After going to the bank I met Kimmie and Joyce at Weinerschnitzel. It has absolutely nothing nutritional there at all. I tried to pick the least sodium filled items, which were a corn dog and regular fries with no salt. I was bad and had a sundae for dessert. I wanted a shake at Foster's Freeze the night before but we were a dollar short on our order so I had gotten a diet soda instead. I'm digressing. After filling our bellies with greasy fast food we did some serious shopping. First to Kmart. I got a cute present for Michelle (another one) and some Sesame Street Uno cards. Then onto a dollar store that I forgot the name of. I got more Christmas decorations, wrapping paper, fun stuff like that. On to Big Lots where I found some $3 treasures in the DVD bin. "Diner" starring Steve Guttenberg and Daniel Stern is a classic. Also "Daddy's Dyin.. Who's Got The Will" with Judge Reinhold, and "Like Father Like Son" with Kirk Cameron and Dudley More. Hahaha. So eventually we got back to Kimmie's place, then decided on Subway for dinner. I got everyone $5 footlongs since that's more economical. One sandwich for now, one for later. My sandwich was turkey, and later I read online that it has 1000mg of sodium. Only sandwich there with a lower amount is the veggie delight. I really love meat but geeze I think that's what I'm getting next time. Anyway after Subway we got coffee at Starbucks (decaf nonfat latte for me), then back to the house. It was Kimmie's turn to torture us so she threw on the Wonder Years again. She's obsessed, man. We played Mad Libs for a little while longer, then Joyce had to go home. After she left, I put on "Betaville", a horribly made straight to DVD independent film. It's BAD. Then of course, Kimmie put on a few more episodes of The Wonder Years. Can you tell she likes them? After this I had to pack up and leave, then come here.
  
• Oh and of course we exchanged presents. That broad got me Ernest Saves Christmas, Baby Boom, Jack Frost, Single Santa Seeks Mrs Claus, and Earth Girls Are Easy. I also got a stocking full of stuff. Oh and her mom got me a Simpsons Battle Of The Sexes game, random bird knickknacks, some generic gem necklace, lotion and bodywash. I made out like a bandit. I gave Kimmie several DVDs including The Wonder Years, Secret of My Success (on VHS), and Doc Hollywood. Cathy got Wonder Woman jammie pants among other things. I gave Joyce a giftcard for Kmart and she used it on our trip. So overall, I had a fun pre-Christmas celebration with my friends.
  
• This week's gonna be kinda crazy. Working at Traffic Mon-Wed, Thurs is shopping day and on Friday I'm driving up to Cache Creek with Davina to see my male strippers. Haha. All this on top of working here of course. Whoo hoo adult life rocks.
