What a weekend! Dave came over Friday afternoon, and we played video games and drank beer until 6pm or so. Then me, Dave, and my parents went over to my sister Deborah’s house for a BBQ. They had 4 kegs of homebrew for us and some homemade Hawaiian ribs and chicken. It was awesome!

My sister’s friends are so cool. We sat outside around the new fireplace ring pit thingy and drank beer and told stories and laughed all night. There must have been at least 70 people there. It was one of the better house parties I’ve been to. I think I got a ride home from one of her friends, things got kinda hazy after 1am…

Saturday morning Dave shows up and informs me that we’re playing golf. I played pretty good for not having swung a club since December. After our round of golf we went over to Hooters to fill up on hotwings and beer. Dave is there 2-3 times a week with his wife, so all the waitresses know him. Excellent service and superhotchickybabes.

After Hooters we went back to Dave’s house for some Tiger Woods 2005 and a 30 pack of Coors Light. I think we crashed around 3am, I’m not sure.

Two nights in a row of heavy boozing has taken its toll. I feel like crap today. And tomorrow I’m driving four hours up to Yosemite. I don’t regret it too much though. This was probably the most fun weekend I’ve had in *months*.

Today I helped my baby sister, Deborah, move into her new place. It was your typical moving day–uneventful. Let me just describe the new hotness of a house she’s moving in to.

It’s on a hill, overlooking much of the East Bay. About an acre of land. There is a nice chicken wired-in garden area, a greenhouse replete with irrigation and timer. There is a waterfall in the back yard. It’s perfect for the dogs.

The house proper is one story, and it is simply awesome. There are four bedrooms, an office, a laundry room, a huge studio off to the side, living room with fireplace, HUGE dining room, full kitchen. Hardwood floors everywhere. Vaulted ceilings, stained pine beams. Wood wood and wood. Walk in the front door, and you have a long, clear, unobstructed view to the back of the house. Built-ins everywhere. Beautiful cabinitry. Modern appliances. Lots of windows, and lots of wonderful natural light. Older house, 1960s style. It’s awesome.

She’s going to live there with 3 of her good friends. They all get along, same age, like to party and have fun. One roommate will make full use of the of the greenhouse *winkwinknudgenudge*. The other male roommate likes to brew beer–he has some serious equipment. I’m talking 50 something gallon stainless steel baddass stuff.

They are musicians and actresses and pet owners and single and fun lovers and I could go on and on. What a party pad that’s going to be! I am sooooooo jealous, and sooo very happy for her. It’s a complete 180 compared to her old living situation.

Yay Deborah!
