Responsibly Irresponsible

We had a blast this weekend. We sort of slept in for once on Saturday (until 8:00 I think...) which was nice. When we decided to roll out of bed we had breakfast and then headed to the mall. If you read my last post you saw the bit about Torrid, well I just so happen to get a coupon in my email that was good through yesterday for $25 off $100. You can assume where we went at the mall...

I found tons of cute things that I wanted, and after trying on about a dozen different things and some very intense decision making, I whittled it down to three hell-a-awesome tops. I got to use my coupon and still got an additional 5% off the total. Rock on! It was great, I was on a total shopping high at that point. I will take pics of the shirts when I wear them and post them on Myspace.

Okay, then we went back to the house to have lunch and so I could get ready for Sheree's baby shower. Right after we got home Collin got a message on Myspace letting him know about a Memorial Service for a friend of ours (more Collin and Doobers' but I knew him in passing). We were both shocked, we hadn't heard a thing about it... We did some searching and found the news story about his end... He went swimming last Tuesday (when it was like mid-eighties) with some friends at Clackamette Park in Oregon City and was swept under by the current. It was just shocking.

I left for the baby shower at about 2pm, and sent Collin on an errand that kept him busy while I was gone. On our way home from the mall earlier we had decided we really wanted to do something, something for us. With all the crazy shit going on we wanted to do something "our age" . I went to the shower, played some games, had fun. It was a good time. Sheree still has about a two months until she has the twins, but she looks ready to pop now! But that's 'cause there's two babies obviously. Yea, loads of fun.

After the shower I went home and had some fruit loops, then Collin and I went and did our responsibly irresponsible thing.


We got another tattoo!!! Woohoo!!!

The picture should be on Myspace (if it's not already depending on when you read this).

Yea, it was another amazing high!

I love getting tattooed... Not sure why but I do. It's awesome. Now we are trying to think of what to get next, we are building on our right arms. No names, no dates, just symbols that have important meaning.

After the tats we went over to Renee's to help Drea get her compy set up and working for her school stuff. By the time we were done there it was nine and we were famished (and I didn't feel like cooking) so we went to Panda Express. They have awesome food for a fast food joint.

Sunday we got up, had breakfast, watched a movie, went and bought a new printer, and then headed up to Oregon City for the memorial.

It was sad, Zack was a really great guy. He had a ton of people whose lives he touched whether he knew it or not. One of the saddest parts of the service was right after we got there and the guy who had invited him to go swimming on Tuesday was sharing and apologizing. I can't imagine the way he feels right now, he was the last person to see Zack alive.... Yea. It sucks. Words cannot describe the void left in this world by his passing.

Yea, just goes to remind you how precious every moment of your life is... And it probably just pushed Collin and I all the more to get the tats Saturday night. It can all end so unexpectedly... I can say I have no regrets (except I haven't had a chance to see more of the world).

So, this kind of turned a little morbid, but death does that, especially when it was a good friend.

I have to go back to work now... Since I know that this won't post with the right time (it never seems to) it's actually 2:22 right now, I started this earlier and saved it as a draft....

Peace!
