Lainee's 28th birthday & steaming volcano

Hello!

It was another nice fall weekend here. Friday night I went to Elaine's house. It was her birthday!!! We got take out from a great Lebanese restaurant just up the street & we ate while watching the debate. We sang & Elaine blew out the candles on her cake before we headed out. We went down to Slow Bar where a group of her friends had gathered. We started off with fancy drinks & had lots of fun talking. From there we headed back to the old neighborhood & the old familiar dive bar, O'Malleys. Another group of friends were there. It was lots of fun & we stayed until they kicked us out! A group of us piled in a cab & crashed at Elaine & Gina's house.

Saturday I woke up way too early & we made breakfast. I spent the day watching movies with a brief trip to the grocery store. That night I went back over to Elaine & Gina's house. We watched Fahrenheit 9/11 & turned in early.

Sunday was a beautiful sunny day out. I drove over to jess' house & we went downtown together for some shopping. Later that night I went over to Camille's house & hung out there for a little while before coming back to my house to watch a movie. The best part of my day was when I got to see the steam coming out of Mt St Helens as I drove over to Camille's. Last week's rain has put a fresh layer of snow on the mountains & the setting sun made them pink & purple. Pretty incredible sight already without the steam coming out of the crater. It's active again this morning but just small steam bursts. Check out the volcano cam...

So that was my weekend. I hope you are all doing well. Let me know what you've been up to!
