The neighbors came home after a bit and the five of us sat around on the back porch and just shot the breeze. Chatted about everything and nothing. Drank some beer. It was everything a quiet Friday night should be.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday, Emily and I attacked the basement. Showed it who&#8217;s boss. (Emily. With me a close second.) The clutter down there was getting a bit out of hand and with the expectation of returning from our wedding in a few months owning every kind of blender, panini press, cookware, crokery, and maybe a monkey butler, we decided we needed more storage room. So, down in to the batcave we went &#8211; armed with some hefty bags and a fierce determination to civilize the untamed wastes.<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if we did all that, but we definitely bagged up a half-dozen bags of trash or so and drove down to the recycling lot\/mini-dump on Sisson with 2 big bundles of broken-down cardboard and one past-its-prime hamper.<\/p>\n<p>With all that work done, there was nothing left to do but grill! And grill we did. Steak, mushrooms, &#8216;sparagus, and some whole-grain rolls (y&#8217;know, for the starch). Fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>By Sunday, our energy was not in effect. And we had yardwork to do. Somehow we got it done though. 4 more trashbags of general yard waste, one giant shrub brought under control, and the weedy, wild border of our yard a little less weedy and alot less wild.<\/p>\n<p>Filled out the DJ&#8217;s book for the reception &#8211; specified the must-haves and the oh-hell-no&#8217;s. Today I printed the wedding invitation inserts (directions and hotel info and whatnot) and , I believe, invitations will be stuffed this week and out after that.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and we fly to another wedding this weekend. This time: Missouri.<\/p>\n<p>So busy, but having fun along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t that what life is. What life should be?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a quiet weekend, we sure got a hell of alot done.
