*phew*
Since there isn't a standard field for this...
Smell: Smoked Hickory
Its been a very busy couple of weeks! Last weekend my parents, sister, and 2 nephews came for a visit. Its summertime, so everyone is out of school. They made a driving trip across the country, spending some time at my brother's in Dallas, and then here. Various places along the way. So we spent some time getting the house ready for that. Not that we could have prepared too much. I have a 16 year old nephew with Asperger's Disorder, and a 5 year who's a menace. :) Bonnie did quite well putting up with them. ;)
We didn't do too much while they were here, cause really, there are a lot of great outdoor things to do around here, but its hard to do them when its 112! But it was great to see them!
Work has been... busy! I'm doing planning for the program for the rest of the year, trying to meet goals. And everything has to be planned out fairly well, so a little bit stressful.
This weekend is kinda a quiet one. I'm currently smoking a brisket on our grill. Sharon marinated it, got it all ready, and I've been cooking it while she's at work. She had some off-hours work to do today, which is good, cause its extra money. :) Tomorrow will probably be some Tux shopping (yeah, I still haven't figured that part out, but I don't have to plan as far ahead as Sharon does for her dress. ;) So, hopefully I'll figure this out tomorrow. Probably try to catch a movie while we're out, I think Sharon wants to see Wal-E, mostly for the shopping cart scene. ;)
And its just one week till a whole bunch of crazy people swarm on a poor family's house in Raleigh!!! :) Its been too long. I wish we were getting their earlier, but too much other stuff going on this year. (some crazy event in Oct ;) So hopefully they won't screw up the tree house before I get there. ;)
