I'm Still Here

It seems that, lately, I either don't have anything to write or am too busy to write when I have thought of something.

Last weekend was my last 3 day weekend for 3 months. The State employees get at least one more holiday before Memorial Day, but us lowly corporate contractors don't have "Bob, the Guy on the Corner Day" as a recognized holiday.

I made the most of last weekend. Not because it was intentionally planned, but just because it worked out that way.

Friday night, I went to see Nanny McPhee with the wife and one kid. It was a good movie, I recommend it.

Saturday, We went to 'Dream Dinners' and packaged up some meals for the next month. They were really busy last week, business must be good. It's the first time we've had to stand and wait for a station to open up so we could prepare a meal. It probably slowed up down by 45 minutes. It was frustrating watching people move s-o s-l-o-w-l-y putting their meals together. Just put the stuff in the containers, it's not rocket science!

Saturday night, we went to a seafood extravaganza at the local country club. We aren't members, but we know members. It's also good to KNOW the king. The food was delicious. They also have a well stocked bar. :)

On Sunday, we went to church to repent for our gluttony on Saturday night. then we proceeded to go out with some more friends for a nice Italian dinner with some very good Chianti. After dinner we went to the local English pub and had a beer and threw some darts. We hadn't spent time with these friends in a while. It was nice.

And on the 7th day... Wait, wrong day.

On Monday, we rested. I mowed the yard, did some laundry, watched a movie, then went to the tax office and sat around for a couple of hours waiting for someone to want me to do their taxes (no one showed up). It was a nice restful day.

Maybe it's a good thing I don't have another long weekend until May. Too many of those might kill me.
