This weekend was very fun. We spent Friday night laptop-shopping for Jose, whose 5-year-old laptop was on the verge of complete exhaustion when you asked it to perform simple tasks like open a web browser or sync an iPhone. After reconnaissance at Fry’s and Best Buy, we decided to sleep on it and spent the rest of the evening playing Wii over at Kelly and John’s house. They had a game called Raving Rabbits, or something, that was quite entertaining. There was also much Mario Karting.
Saturday was an almost exact repeat of Friday. We went out to run a few errands, including a stop at Lowe’s where we picked up pretty much every paint sample brochure (the “idea” booklets with pictures of various colors in various rooms) they had. Yes, the first week in our house will be a painting party. We headed from there to Fry’s where we bought Jose a Fujitsu laptop will a 500 gb hard drive and 4 gb of RAM, as well as many other specs that we investigated but I don’t feel like writing down. In comparison, my Dell laptop, which I bought 4 years ago for twice the price, has a 40 gb hard drive and came with 1 gb of RAM. It is really amazing how quickly computers improve.
After getting a new computer, it was tough to pull Jose away from it (now I know how he feels about me sometimes!), but we did end up back at Kelly and John’s again to grill some steaks and — you guessed it — play a lot more Wii.
We finished the weekend last night in Galveston to celebrate Jason’s birthday. We ate Greek food at a place on the seawall, then played a round of mini golf. Jose won with a 13-over-par score of 49. Let’s just say we are not the kings of mini golf by any means. Much fun was had playing with a giant kooky dragon. Oh, and Jason got eaten by a snake. Perhaps not the ideal thing to happen to a birthday boy, but that’s how it goes.

I am terrible at mini-golf, but it is so much fun. Ok, I admit it, I’m terrible at most every game, but I have fun playing them.

I won and don’t forget I got 3 hole in ones! Well, technically I got 4. Stroke count should start once the ball stays on the green 🙂
