I achieved nothing this weekend until about 8:52PM on Sunday. Not even an errand.

I did ... surf, krav, bubble bath, lie in the sun, run, watch TV and laugh with friends, though.

This is not the life you had in Michigan.

I watched Trading Spaces and giggled maliciously as the con!homeowners put one over on Doug and Hildi. That was pretty much it for the fun, though.

Damn, I missed that ep!!

Sounds like a lovely weekend, ita.

Other than dinner with G on Friday, and apple pancakes with G&J on Sunday, I didn't do any RL socializing, but I got two things done that I deperately needed to do (buy a printer and finish unpacking), so I was happy.

I saw the penguin movie, and did some writing, and bought a cute new top (currently adorning me), and went hiking with Java Cat (the B.orger, not her cat), and watched three hours of Doctor Who.

Now I want a Doctor of my own. Complete with ears and leather jacket.

Or a lemon bar.

I spent Saturday taking the Kids to the park, cleaning, and playing with Leif while my wife and daughter worked on schoolwork. Sunday, Leif and I ran some errands and stuff, then the kids and I met my parents for dinner and ice cream in Lawrence. Sunday evening I set up our new phone service and updated the home network. Not real exciting and I never had any kid-free time to change the oil and various filters on the minivan or mow the yard that parts of which are getting pretty deep.

Who did good things this weekend that they can post about to get peoples' minds off of Katrina (and, um, allow me to keep slacking)?

I rolled out of bed Saturday morning and drove to the beach. The clouds did not cooperate, so we ended up packing our towels in and going to a bar that is also a boat. I drank several Fuzzy Alligators. The sun came out and now parts of my body are hot pink.

We checked into the hotel, drank some more, listened to CDs, climbed into the jacuzzi, drank, got our sparkly clothes on, and then went to dinner. After dinner, we strolled over to another bar, which was nearly deserted that early, and drank some more. We drank and talked and drank, and then it got dark and people appeared! A band appeared! We drank more! And danced! Danced a lot! And drank more!

And then we went back to the hotel and slept for a very long time. The end.

I shopped and installed a new light fixture in my hall. and lounged and movied and ate with friends.

I cut knots out of my daughter's yard-long hair three nights running. Fun was NOT had.

There was also the Palo Alto Art Fair, though.
