A Weekend of Driving

Saturday was a BBQ with the AHS crowd in San Ramon. For our monthly get-together, we met at Billy's house for some perfect weather grilling. Not to mention watch some college football. The interesting thing was that the Northwestern peeps outnumbered the Cal folks. Chi-town represented.

So it took me three tries to get to the freeway entrance to get to the East Bay, but after that it was smooth sailing. And there was an element of peace of mind since my car was in working order. But I still needed to stop by the dealership to get my key fixed. After getting the car engine replaced... the key sort of stopped working, that is, I could no longer lock my car door. Thankfully, it was just a battery replacement fix. So with a $5 fix I was headed back to Billy's.

Sunday was an early morning. I had to go to the nearest Target, since something the cashier had failed to remove the security tag to something I had bought the day before. I also picked up some more Guitar Hero and Wii Music. I put back Rock Band, 'cause I haven't yet decided to buy it for the Wii or PS3 that I want to get. I drove to Daly City via freeway and then took the advice of my GPS and drove home locally from 99 Ranch. I am never driving locally again... it took forever. By this point I figured I should take advantage so i drove to SOMA to pick up Anne for a day of yarn shopping at Imaginknits. Um, I must have had some great parking karma stored up today, because I didn't have to walk far at any of the places I went to this morning.

We spent a good deal of time there, I got enough yarn to cloth 40 sheep. I think anytime you see me in the near future, I'll be knitting. I even found some yarn that looked like tourmaline, but couldn't figure out what to knit, so I put it back. Hopefully I'll be able to finish all my projects.
Anne and I headed to Tartine, but it was too crowded so we headed over to Craig's Place which was a nice place, nothing to write home about however. Then I picked up some ice cream (long line this time) at Bi-Rite and brought home some Salty Caramel for my next parental visit.

P.S.: Bond is set to break all sorts of records this weekend... I am so happy. It is NOT a Bourne ripoff.

P.P.S.: My Mac is on its way!
