Friday night PB and I planned on heading out to the First Fridays artwalk. Correction: we did head out but it started pouring on our way there. So, we turned around, as neither of us wanted to walk around in the rain.

Saturday we took Monkey to the Children’s Museum. It was animal day, which we did not know going in. It’s OK- Monkey likes animals. Not as much as ambulances, but that’s another story. The trip included visits with exotic birds. I had two bird sit on my shoulder. I am not a fan of birds as pets. That’s all I have to say about that.

Oh, except for this: At the bank pay area, Monkey was collecting all of the money. PB tried to hold onto some, which resulted in Monkey pulling it out of his hands saying, “It says ‘Monkey (full name) NOT for PB on it!’”

That afternoon we went boating with some friends. There was swimming, kneeboarding, and wakeboarding. I only swam*; PB tried both the kneeboarding and the wakeboarding. He was more successful at one.

My big accomplishment? No sunburn!

In other news, today may be my very last PT appointment. Depends upon what the doctor says next week.

*Hey, I have this shoulder and the ankle to worry about. Also am known far and wide for my clumsiness.

So, although I love my phone (Android FTW!), it’s autocorrect feature for text functions leaves something to be desired. For example, I have wished people “contests” on their engagement. (Wanted “Congrats”.) Last night provided another stunning example. I was IMing with PB (hey, the computer was upstairs!) and the following conversation ensued:

WG: I’ll have to get a new outfit.*
PB: I can help with that!
WG: If you’d be willing to go shooting with me this weekend, I’d be much obliged.
PB: How about we go shopping?
PB: Cause I’m really not up for a murder spree.

*I can’t talk about why right now.

So, I started out this weekend by seeing Eat, Pray, Love. I enjoyed the movie- it was one of the few books made into movies where I wasn’t disappointed. (Most of the Harry Potter movies have not disappointed me either.) Also, I had no idea that Javier Bardem was hot. He alone is worth seeing the movie for.

We started out on Saturday by cleaning the house, as Bud and the SIL were staying that night. Then we headed out to PB’s Aunt’s for a family party. There was a cornhole tournament. I watched.

Afterwards, we headed over to TRgirl and Randy’s to see my family, as they were all down for Spiderman’s christening. (Well, all but Goose.) Sunday morning was the christening. Highlight: Did not get struck by lightning.
That night, we headed up to DC (thanks for the horrific traffic, I-95) to see Great Big Sea at Wolftrap. The trip there was bad, but the show was fantastic. GBS does put on a great show.

On Monday we went to Kings Dominion to ride the roller coasters. We rode all but one, the Shockwave, as it had a bicycle seat and I was wearing a skirt.

That night, PB ran into TRgirl and the boys at Kroger. What happened:
Monkey (pointing): PB?
TRgirl: No, Monkey, PB is not here.
PB: Hi, TRgirl!
TRgirl, to Monkey: You’re right, PB is here.

Last week, I got the following e-mail from PB
