What a Weekend
I didn't get to lounge nearly as much as I would have liked to over the weekend. I guess, as usual, the hardest part of having guests come is preparing for them. We cleaned the house and went grocery shopping Friday night and Saturday morning. When they arrived, Steve and his friend got to work on our electrical upgrades (which turned out well). The friend's girlfriend and I sat on the couch, talked, and watched football. Of course, the guys came in and out for football updates. Another one of my friends came over and we prepped the food for the bbq. Steve cooked it up and we all watched the second football game. We talked for a while after the game, then my friend left & I headed to bed. I think Steve and his friends stayed up until 3am talking. They all slept in the next morning. As soon as they woke up, they headed for home. Basically, it was not too difficult for all of the dreading I did on Friday.
Sunday wasn't as pleasant though. Steve went to the office to pick up some work, while I did a little laundry and tried to relax. I was washing a set of sheets when I heard a loud thumping noise coming from the washing machine. I lifted the lid to find that the drum had come loose and was bouncing around. To be honest, this was really only a matter of time because our washer & dryer set is quite old. The dryer even takes about 2 or 3 cycles to dry clothes. I gave Steve the bad news when he got home & we headed to the store. Neither of us was excited about spending money on a new set, but it will be nice to have one. I can't figure out if this was bad timing or great timing. I am sure that I will enjoy having the new set when Lexi is here.
Sunday night, also ended with a bang. About 7 pm, the neighbors directly behind us started setting up a party in their backyard. Unfortunately, they are very loud family so we were not thrilled. At 9pm, a DJ showed up with lights and huge sound equipment. I decided that it would be better for us to sleep in the guest bedroom at the front of the house, so I made the bed for us. The music was so loud that we could barely talk to each other in that room. Around 10 pm, another neighbor came to see if it was bothering us too. He said he went and politely asked them to turn it down, but they refused. He called the police. We did too, mostly because they are always the annoying neighbors and we wanted to go to sleep. They turned it down around 11 o'clock when the police showed up. It was still loud, but we managed. -So much for my dreams of a restful weekend. I am back at work for another fun filled week of being sore and just plain uncomfortable.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
