Blips on the Radar

So here's my weekend, in no particular order.

1. Bennett was here for Caroline's game. Seeing the two of them? Wouldn't have missed it. Fabulous. Watching a soccer game from the backseat of a hot, cramped car? Not so much. But hey, who am I to eschew a little variety every now and then?

2. Sometimes people tell you things, and they don't necessarily need for you to give them your two cents. For instance, if I tell you that I'm going to do such and such to my house, don't tell me it's a waste of money. I'm likely to tell you how you've wasted your money.

3. Friday, it was 82 degrees here. Saturday, it was 42 and raining sideways. My closet, my sinuses and my cats are all confused, as well they should be.

4. I had a conversation with a very important person this weekend about my career plans. Here's hoping it goes somewhere. I also tried very hard not to have a conversation with a not-so-important person this weekend. I don't like her, she doesn't like me, and eventually I'm going to have to consider a cease-fire. Damn diplomacy.

5. I had the incredible pleasure of visiting the almost-completed farmhouse on Friday. The wood floors are the most beautiful I've ever laid eyes on. The wall color brings in the light and highlights the wood grain. The cabinets are custom built and have beadboard inlays. I told Drew he needs to be one of those carpenters on HGTV or the DIY network or something. He said he would hate that. I think people would love him. If you live here, know us and want to see the farm, please do. The transformation is remarkable.
