what a weekend

Can it really be true that another weekend has come and gone already, only leaving me with work in the morning? Let's recap, shall we? I suspect that this was one of those so sweet weekends filled with everything and nothing.

Friday began with a meeting at work (I know, right?). From there I visited Dan at work and tried to decide if I wanted a cheap computer. After deciding that, no, $50 was too much to pay for that particular Mac, I gave Dan the scalding cup of coffee I brought him and headed home. I felt that the day was successful in that I found a way to our bank that doesn't require a jaunt on the highway. It seems trivial, but since I usually go midafternoon on a Friday, the highways are usually jammed with commuters trying to get up to the cabin before rush hour begins. This accomplishment is a success and I like that I am learning more about driving around in downtown St. Paul. I suppose that I should feel an accomplishment for celebrating 8 months of marriage (I figure everything is celebratory under a year), and I do. I'll take what I can get!

Saturday was filled with a trip to the farmer's market, a relaxing morning at home and then trekking off to Borders to hear David Sedaris read from his new book. Dan had told me that if I saw anything I should get it. I showed remarkable restraint and only found 3 books that I wanted. He really could have regretted those kind, kind instructions. A steak dinner and a walk to the Dairy Queen and much laundry rounded out our evening.

Sunday was a senior's graduation open house and the weather was beautiful. I didn't think that it would be outside (silly Kate) and am now, of course, sunburned. I'm the bearer of strange lines on my arm, but not my face. I did say a little prayer of thanks that I remembered my moisturizer with spf in it. Proof positive that a little preventative action is a good thing. We saw Kung Fu Panda with friends, played some Mario Party and ended the weekend watching MonsterQuest. Now, if you will excuse me. I have to brush my teeth and tuck myself in with "At Home In Mitford" (not one of the books I purchased, but I also came clean on my overdue library account this weekend and I am once again a patron in good standing. Go me!).

Onward to another week of time with amazing students. Summer is really and truly here.
