“This week has been a busy week for me as I have been working a lot of overtime at work. It’s tough, but I am grateful to have a job. We do however, still manage to have fun. This weekend my one day free was Saturday and so we went and made the most of it. <\/p>\n

The day started at my sister’s birthday. My mother was the matron of the party and we had it at the clubhouse at her place. Her clubhouse has a pool so we had lots of fun splashing around:

\nAfter splashing in the pool we all had cake:

\nThere was a ton of food there, I should of taken a picture of one of the hot dogs. They were the biggest hot dogs I have ever seen. Needless to say I didn’t eat the rest of the day. Happy birthday Amy!<\/p>\n

On the way home we spotted a little car show in San Bernardino. It was small, but it was fun seeing all the decked out cars. Our favorite one was the Jessica Rabbit car:

\nThere were lots of other good cars there too:

\n<%image(20090809-mafiacarweb.jpg|448|336|A Mafia Legends Car)%>
\n<%image(20090809-daddyoweb.jpg|448|336|The Daddy-O Car)%>

\nThere were plenty of loud bass going on:

\nToo many pictures to show you but here is a brief overview to show you:

\nIt was all fun but AJ did start showing some interesting behavior when we got home:

\nThe last thing we did was get a new laptop.
\n<%image(20090809-ajlaptopweb.jpg|448|324|AJ checks out the new laptop.)%>
\nIt is a Inspiron 1545. It is not the greatest in the world, but it meets our needs. We even springed for the extra 2 yr accidental warranty. We are tired of wrecking all of our laptops (we have done in three so far), so we think it would be worth it.
\nIt was a full day, but it was really fun. Which is good because I have a really busy week at work coming up. <\/p>\n
