good weekend.

Every time a weekend comes and I am home on a Saturday - not working retail - I am thankful. I am thankful that I am home with my sweetie, working on the house, doing whatever I want to do - not on my feet for 8 or 9 hours straight.
I love my current job - I am thankful for my last job - but I am really, really thankful for the one I have now.

We are at home this weekend...lovely.
Spend last night with W (5 year old nephew) at Riverbend. It was about 95 degrees outside with about 1,492% humidity so we sweated ourselves soaking wet but had a blast. He rode the kiddie rides and then one big one with Uncle Chad (that didn't go that fast anyway...), ate a hotdog, and then had Dippin' Dots for the first time (you know - the tiny balls of ice cream deliciousness!). He kept asking where the icecream was - he thought the little balls were some kind of topping and he would put his fingers in and dig around trying to find the rest of the icecream. It was pretty amusing. We then met the rest of the family for dinner and then headed home to go to bed early...no complaints there!

Today we are working at the house...we just finished making a huge batch of soap. Lemon scented...it is so fresh smelling and leaves you so squeaky clean! It's great! Chad is working in the yard and I am trying to get stuff put away inside. I am realizing we have a significant lack in storage space - we are going to need to build that garage as quickly as possible! Going tonight to a friend's house to grill and drink adult beverages. They can see the downtown fireworks a la Riverbend from their front yard so we are avoiding the traffic and enjoying them from there.
Great weekend of fun!
