a nice loooong weekend is a good thing eh?

Nothing like having a nice long three day weekend, especially these days. Getting up at 5:30 every day gets a bit old and it's nice to have a break from the rigors of the #72:

Friday: We celebrated Valentines Day a day late which works amazingly well. In this case, you have all of the good times, and none of the crowds or wallet gouging. You can go anywhere you want without making a reservation, and it sure is nice not having to compete with the whole world. Definitely a smart move worth repeating. (Valentine's Day has always kinda been kind of low on my list of priorities, anyhow.)

Saturday: I had to go over to PSU to work on some things, and I didn't feel like waiting around forever for the bus, so I drove, but when I got there, I forgot that you had to pay to park on Saturdays, so I had to drive all the way back to the east side and try again. Lesson learned: just suck it up and ride the bus. The cool things is I ran into Hong, so I got to talk to her for awhile. (I miss my classmates).

Sunday: We went and spent the day at IKEA looking at house porn because we found out we're going to be moving in March. I'm not sure how I feel about assembling my own furniture, but then again, DIY...Then we went to Powell's to get some books about ponds.

Sunday: Another nice day again, although very windy for some reason. It was too windy to ride bikes. Brian's all excited about ponds, so we elected to go look at pond supply stores and try to score some cardboard boxes. I also spent some time packing up a few things...might as well since I actually feel like it. The novelty will wear off shortly.
