weekend update
Busy but fun weekend thus far.
On Friday, Becky had her art show opening for her beadwork. There were a lot of people there, which was awesome; I hope she was able to sell some of it. The gallery's small but it had some neat other things to look at...including stone beads for sale (managed to refrain from getting anything...this time...) Sujan was there, and recruited Ronnie and Fumi to come over and help Brian move the bathtub. He wasn't ready for helpers yet, though, so they came back (and recruited Paul) for a bit.
A little while later, we left to go over there again, though, trailing Susan and Sujan. Brian still wasn't ready for help so we sat around until he was; then the men moved the very heavy bathtub while Sujan took pictures and I...did nothing useful at all. :D
Ronnie convinced Brian to come take a break, so we all went out to dinner at the Drydock, where we met up with Laurie and Theresa (who'd already been there for quite a while).
Yesterday night, Ronnie and I went to Mark's house for a barbeque (and people were going to go to the park for fireworks, afterwards). We stuck around for longer, then escaped to go play Munchkin with Sujan and Brian, and keep an eye on firework-anxious doggies. I wanted to get closer to the show, though, so headed out for the park not long after we started the game. I like fireworks better when they're directly overhead, and the big sparkly ones were great that way. (Um. I realize all fireworks are in some sense big and sparkly; I mean the ones that look like they're raining down, sort of...they're usually gold...)
Came back and finished the Munchkin game while the dogs tried to get under the table (except for a totally fearless Jin).
Now I'm watching the Wimbledon men's final! I'm torn between wanting Federer to make history and beat Sampras' record, because he really is just That Awesome, and wanting Roddick to get it together enough for once here :P
HSFS starts today.
