I had a fairly laid-back Memorial Day weekend. Amanda, Hannah and I went out to Clive After Five Friday evening for a little post-work happiness, although we only stayed for an hour and a half or so. After that, I think Amanda and I headed home to get a little unpacking done, and I think we watched a movie later in the evening.
Saturday was all about the unpacking and the reorganizing and the getting rid of my stuff, focused mainly in the kitchen. In other words, it was madly exciting. Or not. Whichever. We did get a lot of stuff done, though, and I’m sure the house appreciated it. Hannah came over that afternoon to wash her car, and afterwards the three of us shared a decent dinner, a great dessert (supplied by Hannah, of course) and a bottle of wine.
Sunday, according to our calendar, was Rearrange the Upstairs Living Room Day. We celebrated in the traditional manner. We also got rid of more of my stuff, because, y’know, that’s what you do.
Monday! Chuck, Sara, Hanna, Amanda, myself, and a couple of Chuck’s friends whom I’d never before met went to the I-Cubs game, which was a pretty good time. I had an overpriced beer ~and~ an overpriced hotdog, and then there was more beer at El Bait Shop afterwards. I got a bit of a sunburn. The Cubbies won by a healthy margin.
And now, we’re back to the weary trudge of the everyday work world. To ease the monotony a bit, Amanda and I are heading out to see Pirates the Third with Kate and Lisa Thursday night. Friday night, we get to pick up our bottles of selfmade wine, which should be fun. :)
Have I mentioned yet that I get to go to another conference in the near future? If not, consider yourselves announced. This time they’re sending me to Seattle for An Event Apart, which I’m ~madly~ excited about. Not only should it be a fantastic conference, but I get to see Seattle again (here’s some pics from the first time ’round). I’ll be staying with ex-roomie Justin, and it’ll be just over a mile walk to the conference each morning, which should be easily doable. I walk at least that far with Miles every morning. Plus, I get to pass the space needle and the Experience Music Project to and from. Bonus. :)
