Mi Vida Ocupada: My Busy Life!: Memorial Weekend!

Wow, I LOVE long weekends! Especially when there is a lot going on like there was this weekend :)

Friday night I went downtown Mpls. to see Static X at First Avenue. Fun stuff! These guys are always good for an ass-kickin good time. The only thing I totally hate about these type of shows is that there are too many BIG, sweaty, stinky guys everywhere. I always try to stick by E but he always makes his way to the stage and I end up making my way to the back of the floor where I won't get pushed around. Same story this time!

On Saturday we had a party up at my parents house with my mom's side of the family. My cousin Tyler was in town from Chicago and his mom flew in from Tucson to surprise him. He was totally surprised!! Gotta love it. The weather was better than it the forecast predicted, so we were able to do many fun things outdoors. I was only able to take a few pics (that didn't require flash) with my own camera, but I took a ton with Bri & Mich's Rebel. Here are a couple taken with my camera.

Tyler (who obviously was NOT smiling in this pic) and me sitting on the boat down at the marina.

My Aunt Connie with Bianca (who is getting so big at 4 months old!)

and my cousin Mackenzie with this adorable little 9-week-old weiner-dog puppy that belonged to my cousin David.

It was great to see some of my cousins...a few I hadn't seen in three years!

Later Saturday night I watched the movie, Apocalypto. WOW. Very good movie, but hard to watch some parts because it is so brutal.

Got some time in the sun on Sunday afternoon (which was the best weather of the weekend)....I went swimming and to a BBQ. Later that night so went back up to my parents house for dinner and to spend more time with Connie and Tyler while they were here. My gram and gramp were up there too, so we enjoyed dinner, went for a walk and then had a bonfire overlooking the lake. I love sitting by the fire!

On Monday I lounged around and then went out to eat. I scrapped later that night. I wish you could see how cool these American Craft glitter alpha rub-ons look IRL! (You can click on any pic to make it bigger).Oh, and does anyone have any great ideas for a journaling pen that writes on transparencies???
