Guess what!  I'm old!  Well, no, not really.  I'm just saying that because it feels like I'm old.  22 is not old, but let's face it, after 21, the next big birthday is 30 and who the heck looks foreward to that one?

Anyway, I had a nice weekend.  I went up on Seattle on Friday, which of course involved a four hour car ride across the state.  I was visiting my sister and my brother-in-law and my two neices, who are just sooooo cute!  Of course it was one of those birth-control visits where screaming babies make you want to become a member of the Catholic order and become celibate, but what the hey.  When Delia and Lola weren't screaming, they were pretty darn cute.  My dad was also in town, so he was pretty excited that he got to spend some of my birthday with me.  (It was saturday, btw.)  We had a very nice brunch at Etta's down on Western Ave (litterally a five minute walk from the world famous Pike Street Market).  Also, the cool thing about Etta's is that the owner was on Iron Chef America (Iron Chef Morimoto vs. Tom Douglas - http://tomdouglas.com/) and WON!  Well, needless to say, the food was excellent, and my mimosa, perfect!  What's the point of being over 21 if you can't have a drink or two with breakfast?  It was ended with a free slice of coconut cream pie with a candle in it to celebrate my birthday.  Pretty nice, eh?

I think that's it for today . . . I have to help my brother in Zelda now.
