So like Friday I didn't expect this to be part of my movie marathon weekend but since it's Martin Luther Kings Jr. birthday it's an official government holiday which meant Chris who works for the military got the day off. Olivia who lives up in San Fransisco area came down for the party but also for an interview with Miller corporation and Anthony just decided that he would go to work from my place.
Well I got up at 7:30am and noticed that Anthony's motorcycle was still parked in my yard. Last I heard he was suppose to be gone by 6:30am. I went out to the living room and he told me about his crazy morning. Guess his keys to his bike were in the backpack which went home with Jennifer last night so instead of waking me up and having me drive him home to get them he tried to hot wire his motorcycle which in turn caused one of the fuses to blow. And guess where the fuse box is.. under the seat which needs a key to open. So he's back at square one. He had to call a tow truck to come pick up his bike and take it to his house.
Olivia on the other hand was getting ready for her interview, she looked great. Chris and I were sitting at the dining table chatting when she came out of the guest room and informed us that she just got off the phone with Miller and was informed that they forgot it was a holiday and the folks who do the interviews were not in the office today. Olivia was pretty devastate since that was one of the reasons for coming down to the LA area.
So both Anthony and Olivia didn't have the greatest start to their Monday. Since the four of us were now just hanging out I wanted to make some breakfast, again not really expecting to be making a third breakfast I pulled out what I had left which was Bisquick and planned to make some biscuits. Of course when Chris heard this he wanted biscuits and gravy so he headed out to the local supermarket to buy some gravy. I also made some leftover sausages from the weekend. So I had my very first biscuits and gravy with sausage and have to say it was way to yummy...
We also decided to watch some more Once Upon a Time. So we watched episodes 3 & 4. During this time the tow truck arrived to take Anthony's motorcycle home. So we said our goodbyes and our party went from 4 to 3.
After the fourth episode of Once Upon a Time Chris and Olivia packed up their stuff and Chris packed up his car. I drove Olivia to the Burbank Airport and dropped her off around noon. Chris followed us in his car and parked in a local food area next to the airport. I meet up with him and we had a some lunch before he headed back up north.
I love when Chris and I can get some one on one time. We rarely spend time together just he and I but when we do it's always so awesome and very special to me. He's such an interesting person and I love getting to know him better and better. He and I are so alike yet so very different. I love this guy!!!
We ate lunch at Denny's, well he had second breakfast while I had a hamburger. We chatted for a few hours before saying goodbye at 2pm thus ending my four day movie marathon weekend extravaganza.
Thanks to all who made this four day extended weekend so special... Jennifer L, Matt, Anthony, Jennifer C. Rupert, Scott, Ashphord, Aaron, Dallas, Andrew, Kevin, Doug, America, Olivia, Greg, Red 5 and especially Chris, Jes, Jen and Will.. couldn't imagine my life without you guys being part of it.

Day three started around 7:30am, as least that is when I woke up. I didn't actually get out of bed until 8:30am. I actually texted Chris, who was sleeping on my office to see if he was awake and if he had been out to see who else was awake. He told me that everyone looked to be up, or at least awake so I got up, took a shower and headed out. Everyone looked as if they had a not-so-good sleep. I went to make breakfast. Started with potatoes as they tend to take the longest and I make a ton of them. I had 15 hungry people to feed. Will had to leave for Church and made himself a quick breakfast. I also made 2 dozen eggs, three packages of sausages and two packs of bacon. Chris knows how much I hate making bacon so he took it upon himself to get that cooked. With only a few more minutes left in cooking I noticed that my gas range flames were really low. Then it hit me that I'm running out of propane, I had checked it a few months back and it was at 20%, but with all these parties (ie showers) and having the heater on a lot I guess I went thought the gas faster then I expected and now my tank was empty. And with an empty propane tank means no hot water, no heater and no gas stove. The really sucky part is that it's a Sunday and tomorrow is a holiday so I 
can't even call to order more propane until Tuesday. I did finish cooking the sausages on my outside burner on my grill and luckily everything else got done before the gas went completely out. And the majority of my guests took their showers earlier so not many had to take cold showers. 
Anyways we all had a great breakfast while watching our traditional breakfast movie, Galaxy Quest. After Galaxy Quest and Breakfast the 15 of us went to Vasquez Rocks for a hike. Again this is the most we've ever had at one of these hikes. Also Chris did not want to lead this one and volunteered Olivia to lead. It was a bit of a struggle at the beginning as we had "new" folks who had never been to Vasquez and weren't really hikers but then we had folks who couldn't help but climb steep rocks and take the hardest route. So we split up several times which really wasn't my plan, but I did have some of my favorite people in my group. Chris, Jes, Scott, Aaron, Rupert, Kevin, Matt and Jennifer L. We meet up with the other group toward our final leg of the hike and that was fun having the full 15 of use together hiking. 
The rest of use headed back to my place for some xbox Fruit Ninja. Our numbers went from 15 to 12 remaining party goers. By this time it was already 5pm and we had a drawing for Back to the Future gifts that Dallas had brought. So I wrote every one's name down on a piece of paper and put them in my Jayne hat and we drew a name one at a time and that winner would be able to pick from the prizes until they were all claimed. Funny enough Jes pulled my name out first and I grabbed the Delorean from the 3rd movie. After the drawing Jes needed to get started on her six hour trek home. We were now down to 11 folks. We played Fruit Ninja for about an hour before Kevin, Doug and Aaron had to get going. Our party went from 11 to 8.
