Bj turned 24 on Thursday and I surprised him with a trip to Long Beach, Washington. Remember when I had him fill out the

Bj wasted no time in setting up a roundhouse kick scenario (Chuck Norris was big a few weeks ago). I also knit him a washcloth ("how do I know when to wash it" um, what?) and gave him a pretty cheap hoola doll for his desk (which Ceara and I had found very amusing at the Big Lots in Jonesboro).
We walked out to the beach (right from our cottage) and took in the view before going to dinner at the depot. Seriously the food was so wicked good. Bj and I said it was the best place we have ever eaten at, EVER. And we weren’t joking. Unfortunately I didn’t get reservations early enough for us to sit at the "chef’s table." Diners there get to enjoy samplings from what ever the chef is cooking. This chef could be at the best restaurant downtown. I was so expecting over greased, over fried stuff, but no. Instead we had inventive and fresh fair, it was great.

The next day we went on a little hike in the state park at the tip of the peninsula. Chuck and Shirtless Chuck came too:

And the other big tall thing was the World’s Largest Sitka Spruce. This thing looks like it’s hangin on by a thread. I asked Bj if he thought there was a second largest sitka spruce town just waiting for this one to tip over. It was big though, I mean it’s a spruce not a redwood, it’s big for what it is.
I had to head right over to my cousin’s shop to get my hair cut before driving back to Salem to be with Nick and Lace. Great weekend.

See I thought I was all paid up with Typepad (the hosts of the blog), I updated my credit card info and hit pay and it said done, so I said cool. What I didn’t know was that charging that to my card would flag fraud services (and suspend my typepad account) Of course they (the credit card people) didn’t bother to call and tell me there was a flag on my account, so I had to find out the embarrassing way (as in tried to use my card and I got declined!!!). Then I was out of town and out of cell phone range, so I couldn’t call. I finally got it figured out yesterday, so I was going to post at Nick and Lacey’s (Remember them? I’m staying at their place until their parent’s come home Wednesday night). I typed all this out and had an entry and then Internet Explorer crashed on me, "oh well, we don’t want to work so do you like want to send a report into la la land where it won’t do anything?" So I opened it again, and again, and restarted, and switched users. And I’ve forgotten all the tricks to make PCs work since I’m on a Mac now, so I just wrote that little pathetic entry and called it good. I’m going to update my photo of the day pics from this weekend, and hopefully have time to blog a little later.

Hey see the archive list at the sorta top of the right hand column? Does anyone else who has typepad know how to make that a drop down or a longer list so you can see all of my months, not just the last ten? I can not figure it out.

trying to post, won’t let me, details tomorrow, miss you all.
