What a Weekend

Posted by Mark | Filed under Life

Not sure what kinds of fun you lot had with your Memo­r­ial Day week­end but my was just a bar­rel of laughs. To make sure I kicked the week­end off right, Fri­day morn­ing I used the screen door to rip a chunk out of the back of my foot. Sat­ur­day, Michelle & I ran errands and did a bit of shop­ping¹. When we stopped at the book­store, I was get­ting out of the car and started to kick the door open a bit more with my foot. Only I goofed and hit the car door with my toes, break­ing back part of the toe­nail on my big toe. For­tu­nately it didn’t hurt². Unfor­tu­nately it was bleed­ing. So here I am hop­ping across the park­ing lot into the book­store behind my wife. Only she’s so focused on get­ting inside that she’s doesn’t hear me com­plain­ing about my toe on any of the 3 times I tried to get her atten­tion before get­ting inside. Even then when we did get in the store it took a cou­ple of min­utes to get her atten­tion. *seesh*

Sun­day was a bet­ter day though. We drove out to Dav­en­port to visit with a friend, as she invited us out for a bit of a BBQ³. The BBQ was very nice, though every­body else who’d talked to her about it can­celled on her (shame on them!). After we ate, we sat around chat­ting for a good, long while. Though he add to move away from her brick oven/grill as the wood was popping/crackling and spit­ting bits of hot ash out at us. Later we went out and caught a movie (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End). It was a fun movie, but not good. Over the night, Michelle had mul­ti­ple cough­ing fits and finally around 3 AM this morn­ing I gave up try­ing to get any sleep. I dinked around for a while and then ended up mow­ing the lawn in the early hours of the morn­ing. It wasn’t fun, but it needed to be done. On the bright side, I did make some progress on my super-secret dec­o­rat­ing project (more on that when I fin­ish it) this week­end, which is a very good thing.

¹ Some gar­den­ing books for her, some paints for my super-secret dec­o­rat­ing project.
² At least it wasn’t hurt­ing at the time.
³ And unlike other peo­ple issu­ing invi­ta­tions to get together, she actu­ally replied when we con­tacted her.
