Pressley's birthday and Katie's going away...

Well, it's Sunday today and Jason and I went to his mom's house to help celebrate his step-dad Pressley's birthday. We arrived around 11am and everyone else filtered in by 1pm (we were there early to wrangle Jason's kids and the dog)! We had a lovely lunch of marinated grilled turkey breast, a light salad and green beans too (very tasty, wouldn't expect anything less from Jason's mom though). After lunch Jason and his kids (Connor and Ana) sat down on the couch with me and we watched some TV - then time for gifts and cake...Jason got Pressley a "Doors" CD (it was what he had asked for). On to the cake, it was an old-fashioned yellow cake with chocolate fudge frosting from Harris Teeter (local grocery store) - very good, very fresh and moist! Time for a nap for most of the adults, and Jason was a great daddy and took the kids out to play some dodge ball/keep away for almost an hour (we all appreciated it very much)... Tonight at 10pm a bunch of us went to IHOP for Katie's going away party (she is moving to FL) and will be transferring to a Target down there. We wish her all the best of luck :-) I got the fruit crepes with the strawberry topping (nummy!) We had a really nice server named Darlene, poor thing was the only server for the whole restaurant, but she did a good job. I have to say though that the prices are much higher than we are used to paying at Waffle House (kind of a bummer in that department). We stood around the parking lot for a few minutes after we were all done paying and socialized. Only two more shifts at our store for Katie to work, and since I work days and she will be closing, I may not see her at work again (though I will see her when she drops off "Thor" - the dog)...
