I had a lot of fun this last weekend celebrating my birthday. On Friday I met up with Sandra to have lunch downtown. We had some yummy Thai food and then on our way back to the car I got stopped by a motorcycle cop. We were right on the corner of 6Th and Main (or somewhere close to that) crossing the street. We had just walked into the street when we noticed the crosswalk sign was blinking stop. So, I decided to just walk across and Sandra decided to wait. While I was waiting for Sandra to cross the street a cop pulled up next to me to tell me that he could have ticketed me for $140. The blinking light means you need to return to the closest curb. At that light the cars are not permitted to turn on a red so if they can't turn because I am in the street then traffic gets all jammed up. He proceeded to lecture me for like 3 mins.! I tried to explain that I was already in the street so, to go back I would have wasted more of the cars time! Turns out he didn't care....
Later on Friday evening my friend Nikole took me to Kennedy school for dinner. I work with Nikole at Starbucks and recently haven't been able to work very much with her so, it was fun to hang out for the evening. When I got home I finished making the truffles that someone had ordered from me. I had been working on them since Thursday night. It usually doesn't take very long but I was being kinda lazy about it. Although they were some of the best ones I have done!
Saturday, I got up delivered truffles and then headed downtown to Saturday Market. While there I bought a ring from Spoonman and some tiny hoop earrings. I was then going to drive down to Hawthorne but it started raining and I didn't want to get all wet! So, I went home watched a movie and then headed over to Aunt Pat's house for family game night. We got to make our own pizzas and we played games and then had some cake from Beaverton Bakery. Sadly I had to leave early so that I could go to bed and work the next morning. It was nice to have 2 whole days off!
This week is the final week for Lewis and Clark until late August when the kids come back. It' s kinda busy with graduation, it will be nice to have a break!

HAPPY B-DAY! I did send an email, but in case you haven't checked there yet! Need to get together, but probably won't happen til after our road trip. Glad you had a good birthday! Love you!
I didn't know that about the blinking lights, I just thought it mean't to hurry cause the light was going to change. I think alot of cops are grumpy but then it is a job with lots of stress.
