What a Weekend!
I can't believe it's MAY! It's practically summer already. Festivals are just around the corner, and I am SO not ready for that. I wish I had a month of time to just go to an island somewhere and forget about everything for awhile. That would be nice. But, alas, it cannot be.
So anyway, the weekend was pretty cool. Saturday was the Yard Sale. Not a bad event. The weather held out, and Amish people bought stuff from me. I loved that. The funniest thing to me was that the one group of them were looking at my ELECTRIC iced tea maker. Ah, the irony of the Amish. They didn't buy it, but they were sure interested in it. I don't know if I could have, in good conscience, sold it to them. They also bought a lot of my Pyrex and a piece of my Sauder furniture. It just cracked me up. Overall, I netted about $72. So, now I can eat and drive this week. Yay!
Saturday night was game night at Trish & Linford's with the bonus of the season's first cookout. It was AWESOME! Good times, good times. The weather was beautiful, the games were fun, and it was just a great, relaxing time. Trish, Ann and I were even able to play some of our games on the deck. How great is THAT?
Sunday was good with church. The sermon series is about dating, which is interesting. Someday I hope to apply it to my life. Someday sooner than later would be great. Then I was working on Creation staffing at home, which is better than at work, but I hit a snag when a script in the program stopped working and I was trying to fix it for hours. It was fairly discouraging. I had high hopes of getting a lot of that done this weekend, but alas, those hopes were dashed by a stupid copy/paste script.
Mom and Dad came down for some shopping and dinner. We played some games (I taught them Carcassonne), and I ended the weekend with a very kick butt episode of Alias, my favorite show in the WHOLE WORLD. Overall, it was a really great weekend. I'm thankful that I get one of those every once in awhile. God was certainly smiling on me.
