Weekend Update

As I mentioned in my last post, I was out of town for part of the holiday weekend at a friend's cabin. It was a lot of fun, and I've changed my mind from my earlier post where I wasn't sure of the appeal of cabins. Having experienced it, at least for a little while, I can see why people have them and like spending time at them. Sitting on the dock in the evening, relaxing and chatting with friends, ad hoc games of volleyball and ladderball, smores -- I totally get it now. Even the downsides like hot weather and bugs aren't enough to negate all the fun and good times.

This weekend has been spent watching the conclusion of the World Cup, spending quality time with my pets, and doing some cleaning and organizing around the house while listening to DVDs in the background (so far, Jonathan Coulton's Best. Concert. Ever. and the commentary tracks to Ocean's Eleven). I have a short week at work due to taking Friday off, so I expect to be quite busy for the next several days, especially when combined with a couple of other commitments in the evenings. So maybe I shouldn't work too hard after all.

The 4th of July

I'm heading out to a friend's cabin soon (ironic, I know, given my earlier post) to hang out, shoot off fireworks, and enjoy being outside. I've been looking forward to it all week. I don't get out of town very often, so I like to take advantage of these opportunities when I get them.

Have a fun, safe, and relaxing Fourth of July!
