Weekend Update

This won't be as funny as the real weekend update. Heck, it's probably not funny at all. Because we had a very adult weekend.

Moving on...

In preparation for the TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS that were certainly coming Saturday, I laced up my running shoes for my long (read: 5 mile) run after work on Friday. Not to be dramatic, but never in the history of my running life have I run on Friday after work. It's simply not done. But, I'm 30 now, and this is my definintion of mixing it up. Youth: consider yourself warned.

My efforts were rewarded with this jam session on the way home. 80s on 8 for the win.

This was about as excited as Namath got for the weekend. Which is about three levels more excited than he's been all week. (Read: He's been going in the guest bathroom and closing the door behind him and sitting alone in the dark. He's a joy.)

 I'll confess - 85% of my reason for a Friday run was to sleep in (read: 8 a.m.) Saturday and then lounge around with a cup of coffee while MS played early morning basketball. My plains were foiled when there was no creamer in the house. Not even milk. The humanity!

 In the midst of making a milk run in my PJs, I noticed everyone's yard looked so nice. Ours did not.

So, we exchanged the lazy Saturday for a trip to Home Depot for materials. Nothing makes me feel less smart than the gardening department at Home Depot. Basically, we followed people around that looked like they knew what they were doing and tried to eavesdrop. Well, I did anyways.

We ended up with two knockout rose bushes, salvia for the front pots and 13 bags of mulch.

It's an improvement. Now it can rain. Since it didn't Saturday.

We ended the weekend with Mad Men. Nothing takes the sting out of a Sunday night like an Old Fashioned and Don Draper in a tux.

Don't try this remedy for a Monday morning. Unless you're unemployed, or want to be.
Happy Monday:)
