I gave Mr. W a Motorola Razr V3 for his bday, which led to much of the weekend spent with him playing with his phone via his laptop via the Bluetooth connection. He transferred address book entries, downloaded and cropped MP3s to transfer to his cell via Bluetooth to use as ring tones, transferred photos he took while in Alaska and some from Disneyland to use as caller ID tags or phone wallpapers. Such is the life when one dates a techie. I’m happy he’s enjoying the features on his new phone, even tho it did bring about a slew of cussing about the defects of networking. Well, that was bday present #1. Bday present #2 is a 2-day pass to Sea World. We’re going this Saturday. Luckily, the 2 days don’t have to be used consecutively, so we have until the end of May next year to go again. I’m really looking forward to Shipwreck Rapids floating river ride, R.L. Stine’s Haunted Lighthouse 4-D show, and the Journey to Atlantis water coaster ride. I’m only slightly concerned with getting my stuff wet. My bailiff, who went to Sea World this past Saturday and brought me back a map and schedule, suggested I just bring a plastic Ziploc bag to hide the camera and electronics in when necessary. Mr. W gets to play with his new camera and maybe, just maybe, we’ll have photos as impressive as Jordan’s (who recently went to the Sea World in Florida).

For the life of me, I can’t remember what we did on Saturday, but on Sunday, we went to an amazing champagne brunch at the Anaheim White House with the very generous gift certificate that Navy Girl Vanessa gave me when she moved out of my house. We’d never been there before, but the food and presentation were so impressive that he said, “How do I get rich so I can eat like this all the time?”

And then after brunch, Mr. W and I went to visit my parents, where we hung out for like 7 hours before going out to a Taiwanese dinner with them. Yummy greasy “street” food! Ah, childhood memories…
