Birthday Weekend

We spent most of Friday evening getting the house ready for the party. The garage had to be cleared out for the sumo wrestling we were going to do, so all of our spare rooms were full of crap from the garage. We did some grocery shopping too, since we basically weren't going to have any time on Saturday to prepare.

Saturday we woke up early, and I took Bandit to the ranch while Marc vaccuumed the house. I only got to work Bandit a couple times before we had to leave, so that I could make it to the Cal-USC game.

My brothers met us at our house, and the four of us took BART up to Berkeley. I couldn't believe how many SC fans there were, those jerks. I'm glad I didn't sell my tickets after all. And pooh on the fans who did!

It's always fun to go to a game, even if the outcome sucks. I feel bad for Joe Ayoob, he's just not getting it for some reason. If we had a good QB, we probably could've put up a good fight in that game.

We ended up leaving the game a little early, so we could make sure we got home in time for the party.

The party was a ton of fun - I laughed so much during the sumo wrestling. I started out against Marc, and it wasn't really a fair fight. I ended up on my face a few times. I fought against Elaine the next time, and that went a lot better - I won!

Cynthia vs. Brenda was probably the best fight we had all night, because they're about the same height. The funniest thing was that you couldn't see either person's feet or hands.

You can see all the pictures in the gallery.

We also took a few videos from the last round I had against Cynthia (we completely forgot to record anything from the earlier fights). They're large, so it might be better to Right Click - Save As to view them.

Sunday we got up sort of early as it was work day on the sheep ranch and we went to help out. Marc and I spent a few hours pounding in new fence posts. Bandit came with us, and he had a blast just running around and playing in the creek.

I was supposed to go riding that afternoon, but after doing sumo and then working that morning, my whole body was so sore and tired, that I skipped it and took a nap instead.

We went to the mall and I bought myself a coat! I was going to get a white one, but ended up with a black one instead, which is probably more practical. I tried to find a picture of it online, but couldn't find one.

And lastly, my nano came!

We'll have to see now if I can exchange it for the video. :)
