On the Weekend Agenda

Here are some of the things I'm hoping to accomplish this weekend:

• trip to the library
• grocery shopping
• packing for Idaho
• time at the Lake on Sunday
• packing up some items remaining at my parents house for storage
• a massage
• getting the internet in my home up and running
• watch the Stampede fireworks
• try a new chicken salad recipe
• sort out my closet so I know where my clothes are, and can find stuff again
• pick up my passport from Mom and Dad's in preparation for Idaho
• time hanging out with Megs
• sorting out some financial stuff
• read a chunk of non-fiction
• indulge in a novel
• avoid sunburn
• get some new music to put on my ipod from my brother

Busy, but fun, with down time built in, and a sense of accomplishment from finishing some of these tasks. This is the way I like my weekends to look.

Friday the 13th

So, it's Friday the 13th, and I'm once again sitting at my desk, munching on carrots. There are a few things on my to do list for the day, but not that many, making it a (hopefully) relaxing and easy day.

A couple random updates for you:

• I still don't have internet at my new place - the modem arrived yesterday, but when I called tech support to get it all set up, it turned out that there were some problems. So, a tech guy is coming to my house tomorrow afternoon to try to solve the issues, and hopefully by the end of the weekend I may have an internet connection going strong. In the meantime, if blogging is scarce around here, that's part of the reason why.
• The second reason that blogging may be scarce is that I'm leaving early Monday morning (like 5am early) to make a super-fast road trip to Idaho with my dad. He has to pick up a new boat for his fly-fishing business, and I've decided to tag along. We'll be back Tuesday evening, and I'll be back at my desk on Wednesday morning.
• The weather is sort of insufferably hot lately. I'm not a big fan of hot. I like nice middling sorts of temperatures. Low to mid twenties is just nice. However, thanks to the benefits of living in a basement suite, it hasn't been too bad in our house thus far.

I think that's all for now. I have some work to finish before coffee break - we're celebrating a coworker's birthday with cake... See you around!
