I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Thrive to spite them

This weekend is

Saturaday: Watch US Open, go see POTC:AWE, go to football game (which hopefully will be sparsely attended).

Sunday: church (maybe),. family get together at aunt's*, more US Open

  • I have to call and find out what my aunt is serving, figure out what I can bring that I can eat, and offer to bring something to share. And then either buy it or fix it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It's not cheating! It's creative use of resources!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like a lot of these. Maybe it's because I'm half-Finnish....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Cleaning house, which REALLY needs it, doing laundry, taking dining set from garage to New!House, so we can get INTO the garage and look at all of our Junk In Boxes, actually sorting Junk In Boxes and taking sorted stuff to Goodwill.

Also, going to a movie on Saturday night.

What are people doing this weekend?

I'm going to sleep and read books and watch tennis and make carrot soup and maybe edit some code and try not to kill anyone, and probably wash a lot of dishes as our dishwasher died and came back wrong while I was in Atlanta.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Dude! Is it seriously the weekend again, already? I'm losing time again. Have any of you seen me getting abducted by aliens recently?

This weekend: do work that's been neglected this past week due to band drama and more. Meet with the builder. Watch football.

Today: finally starting up at the youth center. Turns out they've got half-day Fridays all year, so the youth center will open up after that, and then us. Which is bonus, 'cause we'll get off early and won't have to drive up the hill in the dark on alcohol night. Then probably some housework and general tidying up.

Paid lessons on Saturday morning, recording session Saturday afternoon. Ooh, and then the SO bought us season tickets to the tiny local symphony! The trombonist in our band is also in the symphony, so we're going to support him. We'd probably have gone anyway. So symphony concert Saturday evening, yay!

Sunday is probably church if I can get motivated. We're still visiting around, and we had the concert last weekend, so we've missed for a few weeks. Then rehearsal in the evening. We have a bunch of car songs to learn for the car show this month.

And then the following week will be a) the first of possible normal weeks for the year, with all our stuff scheduled in at last and b) the start of the build.

And The Bride Wore...

While preparing for her own wedding, a dear friend stumbled upon examples of strange, odd, and unflattering wedding accessories. She kept the strangest of the lot, and I am presenting them here, along with her comments.

OMG, is this the worst but-bow in the history of the universe? [link] It looks like two pillows.

Just one word: Cupholders!
