After a not entirely pleasant weekend, I’m almost relieved to be back at work this morning. Almost…
It wasn’t a longer weekend than any other, but it sure felt like it. I started the weekend off fighting with traffic, running errands, and preparing our house for a visit from my family. My parents came up Friday night with their dog, picked up my nephew (5 months) on Saturday afternoon to stay with us, and my brother and his girlfriend visited for a while on Saturday night. Since it’s usually just one or two of us, plus one small dog, in the house at a time, it was feeling a bit crowded…
Saturday was definitely the busiest day we had. The DH rose at 4:30 to jog before we left for the NU/Ball State game. We met up with his friend Ron and Ron’s son at the governor’s mansion in
The game started off great…but quickly went downhill. What should have been an easy win became a total cluster that came down to the last seconds. I’ve never heard the crowd boo like that at Memorial Stadium; it was so disheartening. The only thing that salvaged my spirits was the fact that we did end up winning – by 1 point. This was pure luck; we didn’t deserve to win. I’m a little afraid of next week’s contest against
After a long drive home, more errands, cooking dinner with the fam and visiting with my brother, the DH and I chugged some coffee and went out for the evening. We were invited to a birthday party at a couple of bars for the singer of the band’s wife. It was fun – I hadn’t met some of the new members yet, and one of their wives and I seem to get a long pretty well. Plus there was another b-day party at the second bar and I was able to talk my way into some cake. J Mmm….cake.
My dad ran the half at yesterday’s Omaha Marathon. He was out the door at 5:30, making me really happy that I signed up to help with chip stuffing instead of race day events! The DH and I are now somewhat considering running the half next year – we’ll see…
The rest of Sunday was filled with more family time, working on my dress for next weekend, and dance practice – Core (now code-named Salome) rehearsal, Angeli Tennanbrarum rehearsal, and some duet practice with ML.
Phew! I guess I’ll never get the hang of these lazy weekends…
