monday morning weekend recap

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.

It 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?

Ha! You are right.

My toenails are blue...with sparkles.
