i had one fantastic weekend in richmond with some of the cousins.  thanks to vinh and steve for hanging out.  it was really a stress and drama free weekend filled with food and laughter that was usually at my expense.  it was great to stop by nga and jonathan's house and visit for a bit.  i was put to work and used a power tool to put in 2 screws in their deck.  the video clip is posted and i'm sure many of you will be amused at how long it took me to do it.

highlights of the trip were the amazing chocolate store, me stepping in a giant puddle twice, blowing up bi's phone and yelling outside his apartment, the ram horn pics, and countless inside jokes.

thanks guys for the fab weekend.

i'm glad i have today off to recoup from the weekend.  i would've taken yesterday off but i had a bunch of junk to turn in at the monday morning deadline.  i was so relieved when i walked in to work yesterday and was told that i didn't have to run the drug and alcohol group.  someone up above must really, really love me (prob my relatives and anson pleaded with the Big Guy) to give me such a break.  i was getting so nervous sunday about running group and wanted to vomit on my drive to work thinking about running the group.

time to finish the rest of my errands and enjoy the rest of my day off.  i am really feeling this 4 day work week thing.

have faith.
