What I have been up to the last few days...

Friday was a great day - not just because I had the day off to myself, but because the sun was shinning. I got a couple of extra hours sleep and layed about drinking coffee and watching some TV on DVD in the morning. I met my father for lunch at noon at a local restaurant, Vitos. It felt odd to be in the Valley during the week (I work in the City and live in the Valley). Ran into a few people that I know at the restaurant - a co-worker, actually, and some co-workers of my husband.

After lunch I went for groceries - I love grocery shopping. It is the only thing I can spend money on these days and it is something that I like to do on my own. My husband and I have very different styles in grocery shopping and when we do it together we end up in a fight. When it is the three of us, it is even worse....bloody murder almost happened once. Therefore, I make it my alone time....Also ran into my sister in law and nephew - they were surprised to see me there on a weekday afternoon. I found that I could not get into the groove shopping on Friday so I ended up short on a few things. When I got home, I had planned to do more housework, but I ended up having a short nap; also watched what was going on in Atlanta on CNN with the gunman.

Friday night was really fun- we had our overnight visitors; great to visit with them again. We had 11 people in total over that night to socialize. It ended up being one of those parties were the guys and girls all seperate...guys drinking in the kitchen and girls chatting in the living room. I had hoped to have more mingling but there really wasn't room enough for everyone to be in the same place. Will have to have more outdoor BBQ's this year for that sort of thing. Had some wine and also blabbed about my blog, so more people know. Hope some more people start one, too!

Not much to say for the rest of the weekend except that I cleaned the oven on Sunday night. Oh, and we went for breakfast on Sunday morning and I had awesome strawberry pancakes! Now it is Monday and almost lunch time. The plan is to go for a walk with one of my female co-workers and get the gossip that I missed on Friday!
