didnt do shit

11:34 Sunday 24 January 2016 PST

We were scheduled to be at the wedding location at 10am to help set up centerpieces. I was up and ostensibly ready-within-5-minutes as Fred repeatedly snoozed his alarm around 9 am.

He was like, "they won't be ready by 10am; arriving anytime between 10 and 11 is fine."

We arrived around 11:15.

All the centerpieces were done so we left.

Had I realllly cared to be there on time, I could have found another driver.

Cheers to Fred for driving!

great wedding + party

the other step sister

01:01 Sunday 24 January 2016 PST

Today we all went to a pizza party including several members of the family, then Fred and I took Lin to meet our step sister Elise (not her real name). We played with the kids outside on the trampoline, played with the dogs inside the house, and went out for ice cream (Lin got Cake Batter flavor), some coffee (at a chain), and some yummy drinks (at a big retailer).

We got back, chatted for a while about injuries, and the Fred left his jacket when we left for the second party, where we got to see Mike Alvez and several other peeps, including our step sister's fiance's friend from the Appalachian Mountains. I dumped a handful of Japanese coins into his daughter's hand. She seemed to like them enough that I gave them to her after making sure it would be okay.

After the dinner, Lin was hella tired so we took her to the hotel and then went back to Elise's with the puzzles I got for Fred (except for the dual maze one). Played with them for a while, and Elise got down the other puzzles she had (including two Fred had made for her.

Everyone took a turn on the puzzles, and we determined that the linked nail puzzle is impossible because every solution showing them on YouTube shows a different starting cofiguration.
