In case you were wondering...

I cannot seem to catch up lately. Every time I turn around there are more dishes to wash, more boxes to unpack, more bills to pay, and not enough rain to keep the gardens alive. But it's all good. Hub and I have definitely been busy, but we're learning to take a break sometimes too.

Last weekend, in a nutshell...

• We cleaned the house and mowed the yard, which caused me to literally become sick from heat exhaustion and possibly a bit of dehydration. I was okay, though. Hub came home from work early, scolded me for being ridiculous, and later bought a Powerade slush for me, which made me feel much better. What can I say when it's 90° in May? I didn't expect it.
• My parents, Grandmom, and my aunt came to visit for dinner. My aunt was visiting from Chicago for the week and wanted to see our new house. I love when family comes to visit with us. Plus, it's a great excuse to clean and reorganize.
• Monday, due to Memorial Day, we didn't have to work. It was wonderful to have a three-day weekend. (Two and a half days for Hub.) We visited Crystal Bridges, which was amazing, though I didn't get any decent pictures because I'm a lousy journalist these days. You'll have to settle for iPod pictures again. Later we visited our friends, Bart and Adrienne and little Firecracker. It's nice to have friends that don't mind a random "hey, would you like some company?" now and then.

We have big plans again this weekend, if all goes well. And no, I do not plan to unpack more boxes. At this point, I am almost willing to pay someone to finish unpacking for me. I lost the motivation three months ago. All I want to do now is decorate and buy furniture. Would you like to sponsor my living room?
