I was at a party Saturday afternoon and someone mentioned that I had not blogged something from last week. I thought for a second and realized that he was right...and in general, I have been so hung up on the whole fatherhood thing, and that lately I have only blogged about Willem Defoe.
So, here is a quick recap of the weekend.
Friday I saw Melissa Ferrick. I blogged that. Who knew?!
Saturday morning: scones and sitting around with Robyn and Trish.
I picked up a cake for Laura's graduation/birthday party. Congratulations, Laura! She is 18 and a High School graduate. St Olaf's better watch out!
Saturday afternoon: Trish and I shopped for Laura's gift (a wee teapot and Earl Grey). I like to hang out in our hood. We can sit on one of the streeside benches and eat food from the local middle eastern bakery. It was a beautiful day and trolling around for birthday/graduation gifts was fun.
Saturday evening: Laura's birthday/graduation shin dig. Mmm...grilled goodness. It was a good party. I had forgotten that Trish had painted my toenails, and cought a bunch of well intended humor...I wore sandles. Oops.
After this party, we went to another birthday party for Trish's friend Allison. That too was a good time. But t is sad, late comes earlier and earlier these days. By 11:00 it was time to come home. I recall parties beginning at 11:00. It would seem that those days are gone for me.
Sunday: Church. Brunch at Ann Sathers Restaurant. Restringing my guitar and celtic bouzouki. Read Ben Hur
There you go...the weekend recap! Oh, right...Randall wondered why I did not mention my most recent premarital counseling session. Well, it was fine. Trish and I mentioned some tough stuff that need not be aired here, but it was a good thing for us to do. So, kudos to Randall for reminding me...and for assigning homework. Trish and I have to get our wedding service planned before our next meeting. Urggle. Easier said than done.
Posted by tripp at June 21, 2004 08:07 AMIt just hit me this morning that you refer to last week's conversation as being about "fatherhood." I think we've spent very little time addressing parenting; it's almost all been about spousehood.
Anyway, it sounds like you had a glorious weekend. What color are your toenails?
