Worms, Fairs, Indian, Etc.

Diggy Sunday, smiling because he got rid of his worms!!!


I think this past weekend gets the award for Adam and me jamming the most amount of unique stuff in ontop of doing our regular weekend activities. On Friday, I was sad because the weather forecast for the whole weekend said "Cloudy" and the whole week it had been beautiful out. To my surprise, however, both days it was perfecty sunny and warm out!

Friday night we went to restaurant week. This is where all the restaurants have a 3 course tasting menu where you can pick out of 3 choices. It's a good way to taste a variety of foods at a nice restaurant for a decent price. We went to this restaurant called Sally's, which is an asian seafood place. It was good, but nothing too crazy.

Saturday we woke up and went on our usual walk and to Brickyard (our usual) for breakfast. On our walk Adam happened to look at one of Diggy's "bathroom break remains" and saw little white moving things in it, so he went home and looked it up and it turned out that our beautiful little Diggy had tape worms. I guess it's really common (80% of dogs get them at some point) and he had a flea bite a few weeks ago, which causes them. I was sort of freaked out, but all we had to do was crush up this medicine and put it in some food (I found out Diggy likes hummus, haha) and he has been fine ever since.

After our vet work, we went to this thing called the Swap Meet. It is so funny. It's this thing in the parking lot of a convention center and it is a mix of a farmers market, garage sale, and fair all in one. There is everything from nice hand made goods to men setting out their old jeans on the bed of their truck to sell. It was interesting to go to and we walked away with a new mirror (that I love!) and Adam got a golf club identical to the one he just broke.

After that we went to this Ocean Beach Street Fair. We drove around for about 30 minutes trying to find a parking spot and were about to leave when we finally found a spot. This thing was crazy!!!! There was tent after tent of stuff, tons of people, food, contests, bands, etc. It was fun to walk around and eat lunch at!

Finally, we went to this place "Shakespeare Pub" to have a beer in the sun. Adam's friends Leigh and Joe met us and Leigh mentioned Indian food sounded good, so we all decided to try this Indian restaurant a block away. It ended up being probably one of the funniest/strangest experiences I have ever had at a restaurant-a belly dancer with men sticking money in her outfit, a waitress who hated us because she didn't want to do work, Leigh's dessert that looked like rotten cottage cheese, etc. At least the food was good :)

Finally, yesterday we went on a shopping spree. I have been having the urge and Adam needs stuff really bad, so we drove down to Chula Vista to a big nice mall there and then to an outlet mall. We both got some cute stuff but left without some of the main stuff we need, but oh well! Then we went to the Coronado Beach around 4:30-6 to enjoy the late afternoon sun, went home and grilled out, and went to bed!

Wow, I'm exhausted thinking about all we did, but it was a good time! Now, I'm looking forward to our road trip this weekend and excited it is only a 4 day work week!
