It was so nice to have a long weekend. Not having to go to work for 3 days rocks!
Saturday was a lot of driving. I had to run an errand in Raleigh and on my way back I picked Pete and we went to Sam's club. While we were there Pete finally said yes to getting a Wii. Of course everywhere we went was out of them. We tried Game Stop, Sam's Club and Target. The guy who worked in the electronics department in Target said that the Target in Wake Forest got a bunch in. So we went home to drop off the milk and such, and got back into the car and drove out to Wake Forest. It was a nice drive. We had never been out there. Anywho, we got our Wii and a Zelda game and went home to hook it up. I only got in one short game before it was time for church, but we brought something home for dinner and played Wii tennis and golf the rest of the night.
Sunday was mostly Wii and grocery shopping. We planned on taking Zora on a walk on the trail that goes around our subdivision, but we ended up getting lost. She got a long walk, but not the one we intended. We did end up seeing a lot of our division though. Some nice houses. I tried a new recipe for dinner. Giada's Macaroni and Cheese. It was very good, but very unhealthy. It had whipping cream, whole milk and 3 kinds of cheese in it. Delicious, but it will not be eaten frequently.
Monday was busy. I decided I felt like baking. I have been finding a ton of recipes and wanted to try some of them. So I spent the day alternating between baking Pink Lemonade Cupcakes, Peppermint brownies and Blueberry Bundt Cake and cleaned the house. It was a very productive day. Spent the afternoon playing Wii tennis and playing with the dog. She is getting kenneled next weekend, so we are trying to love her up a little extra. She thinks she is being punished when she is sent to the kennel.

Work this week kinda blows. Missing a day makes the rest of the week crazy. Too much to do in too little time.
I don't remember how much I mentioned about our next big house project, but we have picked a painter. He is going to start sometime in October. The hard part is picking the colors. I have trouble picking what to eat for dinner, so picking colors that I have to look at for years is proving tough. Tuesday, Pete and I went to Sherwin Williams and got 4 paint samples. A light beige for living areas, a darker beige for the bedrooms and a green and yellow for the kitchen. We painted them on foam board and I hate them all. They were all horrible, so it is back to square one. Fun fun!
On a happy note, a couple weeks ago Pete and I ordered the dining room set from Macy's. The table was out of stock and won't be delivered until mid-October. We are hoping it comes in after the painting is done.
I need to get back to the meeting I am in the middle of. We are looking forward to going to see Kat and Robert this weekend and meeting George for the first time. We are heading up for his baptism. It should be a good weekend.
K. Thx. Bai.
