   What a great weekend!!!

So yeah. My best friend flew up to visit me this past Thursday. She stayed at my place until today, Monday. *^^* I love having guests over--more specifically, my friends. Actually, it's kinda sad because I don't have many friends in this state ever since I came back from college. Whatever. Anyways, we did many fun things while she was here. Friday We went to visit the cities and scenic sites along the Oregon coast. Luckily, it wasn't windy. ^^ We also ate a famous chowder house called Mo's Very yummy. Saturday We kinda bummed around on this day. I took her to the Wal-Mart Supercenter--which is huge! We also went to the mall. We ended up watching two movies that day: Shrek 2 [funny, but okay] and Troy [VERY GOOOD!!!]. Sunday We took a day trip to Seattle. I had to drive for 4 hours, with only 4 hours of sleep the previous night! I was pretty tired @_@ When we got there we met up with my best friend's friend, Sam. Together we watched a Major League Baseball game--it was the Seattle Mariners vs Detroit Tigers and the home team won *^^* It was my second time watching an MLB game--very fun! I ate a hotdog and some fresh roasted peanuts--all I needed was some Kracker Jacks to complete the overall 'baseball' experience ^^ Next we went to the huge Uwajimiya store that was close to the stadium. I had some mochi icecream for the first time and it was yummy ^^ I then went over to the Kinokuniya bookstore to look at some stuff. Sadly, they didn't have what I wanted--which was a Prince of Tennis TV artbook. Lastly, we toured some scenic areas in Seattle--again, gorgeous. We then completed our experience with dinner at a seafood resturant called Ivar's. I filled my belly with salmon and coffee, and drove home for another 4 hours. Monday Today. I drove her back to the airport. All in all, it was a fun weekend. But I was SO exhuasted that when I got home I went straight to my bed and took a nap. ^^ I'm feeling much better now. Oh Yeah! My friend is a neat freak! When she was here she noticed that my car windshield needed major waxing! How? When I picked her up from the airport, it was raining. Sadly, my windshield [for some odd reason] kept smudging the water everywhere! Very low visability. She was concerned and I told her that I didn't know why it was like that--maybe it has something to do with the wipers. She said 'no.' It needed waxing! So we went to Walmart and bought some Rain-X. The next day I waxed my windshield and was amazed at the results. What's the point of this story? Well, I became obsessed with waxing my windshield! The day afterwards, I waxed them again. And then I waxed the backshield. And today, I waxed my dad's car's windshield. I've become a windshield-waxing freak!!! And my friend says that I'm addicted to Rain-X. It's true! ^^: So, here's a question for thought: Do you have an 'unsual' hobby, or habit [it can be something just recently, or long term]? and... What are your plans for Memorial Day weekened? Me? Our family to going to a rented beach house on the coast. It was a gift from my aunt. Sounds fun BUT it's gonna be SO crowded. The ENTIRE extended family is gonna be crammed into one house! Crazy, I tell ya!
