driving the boat
mom driving, and our instructor adam
on friday the 12th, i should have probably stayed home and slept to recover from work. i had worked monday-thursday and was in the ER again on saturday as the charge nurse. however, i did not use this one day for sleep recovery, but fun recovery! i came home from work friday morning and slept for a quick 2 hours before being picked up by my mom for a drive to lewisville and a trip to the lake for a boating class. since my dad & mom got their new boat, dad wants us to be able to drive, park, dock, and tie-up the boat. some of this i was familiar with, other parts...not so much. mom wasn't familiar with it either, so we attended a free class called "women on the water" where we got to drive around in a brand new boat (it only had 5 hours on it) and practice driving, parking, pulling the boat onto the trailer, tying off, anchoring, etc. it might not sound like much fun, but it was a blast! there were only 3 students: myself, mom & another woman who was originally from germany. even though it was about 95degrees out and sunny, it was windy and felt great to be on the lake! afterwards mom and i stopped for some tcby frozen treats...yum! oh, and i forgot to mention we had subway on the way to the class...double yum! thanks for the great time, mom!

when i got home in the afternoon i was exhausted but we had made plans to go out with our friends crystal and rich. this was important for three reasons: 1) it was crystal's 24 birthday! 2) they are moving to DC in about 2 weeks and 3) i hadn't come close to filling the fun-quota for the day. so i took another nap while they figured out dinner plans. we ultimately decided to go to zenna a thai/japanese restaurant so crystal could get sushi (a fav of hers). the food was great and i also highly recommend the beer tower and white wine! it was loads of fun and great conversation. after the meal, crystal and i headed to kroger for some birthday desserts and we met the boys back at crystal and rich's place -- which was half packed-up :/ the only downer for the whole evening, though i'm very excited for crystal (she's going to georgetown for a CRNA program!).
happy birthday, crystal!
