Happy 3-day Weekend!

Best thing ever. Ever!

I needed it. And it's been magical. We've planted the gardens (Saturday) and I got sunburned a bit, which kinda sucks. Then Jake and Ben from White House came over, as did G.Nate and they all hung out on the deck for a few hours and then husband and G.Nate came in to watch the rest of the Brewer game and then it was bedtime.

But, the gardens are done and they look nice. Sunday, we finished the veggie garden and bought a new patio set for the deck, with better chairs, a bigger table and an umbrella. Then, we sat around, watching the Indy 500 and the Brewer game, both of which were not very good. at 2:45, we went over to my mom and dad's and then we saw the new Indiana Jones movie, which was really good. It was very entertaining and the time flew by. Then we went to this supper club called Bobu's, which was okay. It was a good meal and they really needed the business, so it was fun. It was for our anniversary, b/c we've been married three years as of Wednesday!

I can't believe that it's been 3 years, but I will probably say that a lot, with every anniversary, you know?

Today, we went and got an umbrella stand and outdoor speakers for the deck, so it's really really nice to sit out on and listen to Brewer games and grill or whatever. We're totally set and it's very cool.

Of course, I get to go to back to 4 days of balancing and settlement tomorrow at work and I am praying that they didn't decide to shut down a server over the holiday weekend or anything...knock on wood!

Nothing else new to report on this end. Bye bye.

Maybe time for an update

It's been a month. Too long, me thinks.

Things are very much the same.

Quick pop quiz:

Q: Is the fastest way from Madison to Edwardsville, IL through Chicago?

A: No! Unless you miss the turn to Rockford and don't notice until you're in Schaumburg.

Whoops.

So instead of getting to STL at 11:30 pm on last Thursday, we got there at 1am. Oh well. It was fun. It was different. I don't think that I had ever been there when Ryan wasn't. It was okay though. Leo is even weirder with Ryan around, however. He hides in the basement all day now. *Shrug*

But, we saw the Symphony and that was fun. One of the bit parts in Candide at Lincoln Center (the one that's on DVD that I LOVE LOVE LOVE) was in the concert -- he sang the tenor part in the Carmina Burana. I never realized what a weird piece of music that is. It would make an excellent music history paper -- how DO the opening and the finale of the CB relate to the rest of the piece? Oh well. Too late now.

Otherwise, we just hung out and did whatever, which was good too.

MFSO: Concert was Saturday. Worst concert ever. They played Beethoven 7 and it was ridiculous! I was really embarassed and I didn't play on it. *shudder*

Oh well, I keep playing in it. It's good for me. :)

I'm being picked on to eat, so I will go.
