Happy Monday blogworld,

What a weekend! :) Friday night I had an impromptu scrapbooking session with some friends and I am still looking for my cropping drive. It has been a slow couple of months of no scrapbooking and I am ready to get started again. I just wish I could get organized so that when I sat down to work on a project my brain and interest did not run in the opposite direction! argh.

Saturday I had a wonderfully challenging 6 mile run. I ran with Shannon and she kept me moving quickly. We ran at a faster pace than we usually do, and took hydration breaks approximately every mile. It went well and we made good time. :)

That afternoon I spent with Wanda and Jeremy ironing out the details for the shower next weekend. It should be a nice event. I also got to take a Saturday afternoon nap, which is almost unheard of for me. VERY exciting!

Sunday I was treated to breakfast at Lois the Pie Queen (Wonderful Place for Breakfast), and then I headed up to Vacaville and Napa with my parents for the day. We did some shopping in Vacaville and then drove to the Napa County Iris Garden, which was beautiful, though mom didn't care for the bumpy and windy road to get to the gardens. I got three Iris plants for my courtyard (I will try to post pictures once they bloom, and once I get my courtyard in viewable condition) and my Mom got two plants. I later learned that she is intending to give one of them to a woman she knows who is giving one of her kidneys to her husband (mom knows them from Dialysis) and the other one she gave to me... I am excited to see how it comes out as it looks beautiful in the pictures.

After the Iris Garden we went to lunch (well, late lunch) at the Rutherford Grill, which was VERY nice and they were very accomidating to Mom's wheelchair. We had the best Spinach Artichoke Dip and I had rotiserrie chicken and mashed potatoes colconnan, which were very good. They are a great spin on regular mashed potatoes.

After lunch we made our way home, unloaded the car and I was off to my place to clean for the remainder of the evening. I also watched Daisy of Love, which is a stupid show, but it was on and I couldn't find anything else to watch. Also, I attempted to watch Rachel Getting Married, but it was hard to get into. I will try again another day.

Alright, now it is another Monday and next weekend should be very busy between the Shower and Mother's Day. Both of which I need to prepare for this weekend sometime, probably Wednesday.

That's it for now, it was a very nice weekend.
