Weekend Description

Friday night, we ordered take-out from Sol in San Rafael, I had a pressed pollo sandwich with roast chicken and ham and lettuce and mayo. Wayne has the bistec (thin sliced beef and avocado.) Both sandwiches come with cheese and spicy vinegary dipping sauce. We watched a western - Cheyenne Social Club, with Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda.

Saturday, up early, drove to Redwood city to visit RAFT - a teacher resource center where wayne picked up a bag of headphones for his computer lab for $5. Good thing he got 80 sets, because so far, 1 in 2 are bad. I think my company may donate old cards and toys to this place for reuse by teachers. They take discarded items and make kits out of them for elementary students.

Wayne wants to buy a laser printer and scanner for his labe and the school can't afford it, so he is thinking of trying to see if they have any computer equipment. He had to pay $15 to get into the store for a day. It costs $40 for a yearly membership. But they have all sorts of teacher supplies available for supercheap.

Then we met Stephanie at Nordstrom Rack to shop for bargains. (When we cross the golden gate bridge, we like to get our moneys worth out of the $5 bridge toll.) I found two new pairs of jeans, brown jag cords and NYDJeans to replace those my daughter took from me. And a new fashionable sweater. (No, it is not green.) Will try to get wayne to take a pix of my new duds - time for a new profile picture anyway.

Then Stephanie made homemade meatloaf sandwiches with lettuce on wholegrain bread for lunch. (Too bad wayne had a polish at Home Depot while Stepha and I power shopped.) We all gabbed for a couple hours until the sun went down and then we enjoyed their outdoor hot tub. Finally rushed home to Buffy at 7:45 pm. I made spicy sausage and mushroom pizza with goat cheese mozzarella on Vicolo cornmeal pizza crust for dinner. Slept well until 4 am; woke up and just couldn't get back to sleep. Then I took valerian and drifted off without further ado.

Today, went to the farmers market for organic lettuces (Little gem, butter and red leaf), smoked salmon, japanese yams, yellow pear cherry tomatoes, fruit danish and beautiful sun flowers. Made special healthy dinner for my brother and his wife Ruth. Desert was Coconut Bliss cappachino non-dairy ice cream. (Highly recommend for those who can't indulge in the real thing. No soy, vegan and tasty.)

Now contemplating whether I should proof the 24 new product folder/passages I brought home or continue proofing the new catalog pages ( I am on page 22 of 61)? Or goof off, after all, this is my weekend...and I have two books I am int he middle of reading.

And there is the HOA budget and reserve study. I guess I just need another day off. The story of my life and most every weekend.
