A Terrible Weekend

Ok, so Molly and I had a really horrible weekend that I think we should blog about. 

It all started out on Friday the 16th of January. We were going to stay at home at eat some leftovers... but we opened up the fridge and discovered that we didn't have any leftovers. THE HORROR BEGINS! We had heard about a restaurant that has this thing like "rat fest" or "crab fest" or something like that. We decided that our day was already in a downward spiral... lets give it a shot. We got in with our friends Lindsey and Josh and had to sit at the bar to wait for a table... and drank martinis. When a table opened up, a whole 10 minutes later we discovered that it was "bug fest"... these giant sea bugs called "crabs". We gave it a shot. It was terrible... this whole crab with long spikey legs and butter, crab bisque, crab cakes... yuck.

The next day we found that it was kind of sunny. Us Pacific Northwesterners don't care much for the sun... we decided to try to escape to the coast. It is January here... so we were expecting 35 degree weather. DAMN IT if it wasn't 70 degrees and sunny on the coast. We had to walk on the beach, sweating our balls off. Then we ate a twinkie glazed in banana icing (gross), ate some terrible seafood (crabcakes, oyster po' boy... nasty) and drank a really cold bottle of wine while listening to the waves crash on the beach. Lastly we splashed around in the tide pools near Haystack Rock. Bleech!

Sunday morning, because we were so tired of the sun and heat, we decided to drive east to the mountains to escape the horrible weather. When we arrived at our destination, Mt. Hood Ski Bowl, we found that the weather was also sunny.... and COLD!  The slopes were practically pure ice, making the skiing awful! Slid around for hours and hours and hours... when the sun finally went down, they turned on the lights and then continued skiing for another hour... GOD, terrible.

Monday, back to work... But then Monday evening we discovered that we bought tickets to a Blazers game (the Portland Trailblazers). We ate at an irish pub downtown... you all know how much I hate irish food and beer... and then we hopped the "MAX" to the game. It was terrible.. Portland won, scored 100pts, scoring US a free coupon for a gordita at Taco Bell.

Well, I know the pictures will bring you to our personal HELL we experienced.

Try to enjoy.

Fun Weekend, Jan 09
