Lovin' the Long Weekend

Well, it's been an uneventful week. Work just seemed to drag, and I was so glad when Thursday came and I could check out for a few days. I did get a lot done that afternoon though; there were only a few of us left in the office by about 2PM.

We didn't do a whole lot for the 4th of July. We got invited to couple of parties, but this year I just kind of felt like doing some things as a family and chilling at home. Husband made a nice lunch and then the three of us walked over to the movie theater to see WallE (cute movie which also introduced some thought-provoking ideas relative to the environment and our computer-driven culture). We did a couple of things around the house in the afternoon (I think there was some Dance, Dance Revolution in there somewhere too), and grilled steaks for supper. Later on Brandon, Buddy and I walked to a nearby hill and saw what we could of the fireworks over in St. Louis Park. It wasn't quite like being there, but it was fun nonetheless, and I always like some good fireworks!

Today is errands, laundry and yard work (which I think I'm already done with, because man it's hot outside!) I did quite a bit of work in some of the backyard flower beds on Thursday night and just did a little more today. They are a tangled mess of weeds, grass, and flowers - sometimes it's hard to tell what's what. It looks like some of the lilies are about to bloom. Got to give them some room to breathe!

It feels good to get so much done, and still have another day to go. Who knows, I might even hang some things on the walls this afternoon!
