** Ole!

hola all...this weekend has been pretty low key so far. that is a great thing compared to the flood last saturday! yesterday was spent doing typical weekend things...going to gym, taking mick out (twice), laundry, cleaning the bathroom and vacuuming.

caps' came by here at 630 last night and i met his son. i will call him "alaska" since that is where he has lived for the last 3 years. he is being transferred to andrews air force base starting this week. he is a nice guy, typical 22 year old with spiky hair and laid back personality. i could see some resemblance to caps...similar in height and body type...

the 3 of us then headed over to his friends house for dinner (s & m's and little blonde guy). they have known each other for about 4 years and own a bike shop nearby. we had an awesome "mexican" casserole with beans, cheese, onions, tomatoes, peppers and soft tortilla shells. of course it isn't a complete mexican meal without the sour cream, avocado, chips, salsa and corona! it was really good! i give it 4 tamales! little blonde guy was entertaining and of course full of energy! he was running around, throwing toys, singing and hanging from the kitchen table as he was "sneaking" tortilla chips...he also was very comfortable around me although i had only seen him once before. he kept coming over to me and wanted to sit on my lap. think that had something to do with the fact that he saw my cookie and milk...

after dinner we had some rockin' double chocolate chip macadamia cookies from safeway. in my opinion, the best to end a good meal is with something sweet and preferably, chocolate!

today will be low key as well. i plan to take mick to the robert e. lee park for a mini hike! we haven't been over there in about a year and it is a perfect day for it! mick is all about running free and swimming and playing with the other canines along the trail...
