So funny story: this weekend Mr. Wonderful and I decided to finally stay home and relax. We've been going out to our folks cabins most weekends these past few months to take advantage of the summer while it's here (my summer didn't start until mid-July so really it hasn't been so many weekends). But of course, somehow a million things got planned and I for one am slightly exasperated to be so overly stretched again!
But as someone famous (I have no idea who, I just know it's not an original idea of mine) said something to the effect "it's good to be busy, it means you're alive and have friends" I am trying to keep that in mind going into the weekend.
First off, my sister called last week and announced she and her dog were coming to visit because "she missed me." Now the fact is, she is actually using my house as a convenient place to crash and store her dog so she can party with her friends in town. And just recently she asked if her friend could stay over too (I saw that one coming..) but luckily she is a blast and it'll be good to see her, even if I end up being a DD before the night is over (I am lacking the social/party gene that most of my siblings have, I feel really terrible the next day if I have more then one drink and sitting at a bar is probably the least fun activity I could come up with!).
Even more fun then that is hanging out with our best couple friend on Friday and doing a casual cook-out then heading over to a new local beer garden for some live music.
And then of course since our weekends are never complete without some ridiculous athletic endeavor, I am doing a half-marathon on Saturday morning and Mr. Wonderful and I are going to do a century bicycle ride on Sunday. Should be fun!
We're also "babysitting" a guinea pig for the weekend...I know, I know...not a real difficult chore. And since we're doing it for a friend of mine who will be in isolation post-chemo I can say with all assurance, I'd rather be busy all weekend then be in her shoes! She assured me that she would be very NOT busy all weekend.
On top of that we have to do a bunch of chores around the house that we've been putting off. Get our mountain bikes fixed. Get to the library. Go in to work a few hours. Fix some shingles on the roof that loosened up during a big storm we had this week. And all that extra crap.
