Busy weekend

Wow!  I can't believe the weekend flew by and Monday is over already too.  Well, ok Monday didn't fly by, but it's over!  I even cheated a bit and left work a tad early.

Saturday was spent running errands and then in the late afternoon I had a wedding reception to attend.  It was one of the best receptions I've been to.  The rain held off and the Bride got her wish of being married on the private beach of her parents.  I wasn't at the actual ceremony.  That was pretty much for immediate family, which accounts for probably 100 people.  The reception was held at beach bar and had a very casual Hawaiian theme.  It was out of this world!  The rain had held off so it was a bit hazy but very warm and humid.  I can't imagine being out on the beach with the sun too.  We'd have been fried by more then the alcoholic beverages.  I decided to post this picture of the sailboat as it sat a short distance off the beach almost the entire time.  I of course added another shot that I took of the sea gull.  I actually took a picture of the bride and groom and misted into the foreground of this same picture, but I need to get permission to post that.

 

Sunday was a pretty relaxing.  I did a little around the house and played a bit with the new toy.  It was a hoot doing the sound bite.  At first I couldn't stop laughing long enough to talk. Then the length became an issue.  But it did make it, short and sweet.  And I will tell you, that was hard!  Believe me, I'm a talker, just ask Steve.  After dinner last night Steve and I jumped on MSN and actually talked real time.  It was out of this world!  It was as clear as if he were sitting in the next room.  I've talked over the Internet in the past, maybe 10+ years ago.  Back then the connection was horrible and I was on dial up to boot.  Just wasn't worth the aggravation.  Last night was so different.  No lag time, no jumping with the sound, and to be honest it was a better connection then I actually get on my home phone at times.  And Steve, OMG!  I could understand him fine and we talked like two long lost pals.  Each talking a mile a minute and more then once you could hear the excitement as we both talked at the same time.  Not to be rude of course, but we just had so much to say.  Though he has a web cam, I don't so we just talked... and talked... and talked.. in to the wee hours of the morning.  Hardly felt that we talked as long as we did, but it was hours.  I am still in awe of the modern technology.  Hearing the LOL's, the umms, the aaahh, the snorts during heavy laughter.  It was wicked!  Near the end of the conversation he did turn on the cam and I could watch as we talked.  What a hoot!  Seeing his facial expressions and movements as he showed me around his computer room.  And the dimple... OMG!  He is even more precious then the video's he posts show.  I know what I will be getting, and soon. Yeap, a web cam!  Too cool for words.  Some how I don't see IMs in the same light. 

 

This evening the kids are here for a short while.  During that time I got an alert and we went to check out the entry.  What a hoot!  Here we have Steve singing 'Brown Eye Girl' as only he can do.  ROFLMAO!!!  The kids had to put on the headset and listen full boat.  Bug, well she loved it.  She danced and hummed right along with him.  I had to grab the camera.  Busted!  But she loved it and asked me to play it over and over again.  Too funny!
