I wish my life was always like this weekend.

After the excitement of last weekend, this weekend was very relaxing.

Saturday morning I slept 'til 9am. This is a big deal because usually a cat or the dog wakes me up around 7am and I can't get back to sleep. We did some low-pressure, low-energy yard work for a few hours and then called it a day or weekend, really.

That night we were invited to dinner with my bosses and coworker and his wife at a house which my company had built. The couple for whom the house was built wanted to say thank you for doing a good job, etc. This is the first time since I started working there that we've been invited to dinner by someone for whom we've built a house and I was afraid that my DH, who doesn't much like social events, was going to be miserable not knowing anyone but me. Our host and hostess are incredibly nice people who just happen to have a lot of money and don't mind spending it. This is their second home (a 6000+ sq. ft. $1.5 million second home).

The invitation was for 6:30pm. We all left shortly after 11pm full of alcohol and excellent food. It was one of those dinner parties you don't want to end because everyone was having such a good time. It also was nice to see everyone I work with in a social setting, and to see a house we built changed from an empty shell waiting to be made into a home to a place which is clearly enjoyed and lived in. And to have my husband enjoy socializing. That was wonderful.

Sunday we did nothing. Ok, next to nothing. Laundry. Changed sheets and flipped the mattress (we try to flip/rotate quarterly as we paid a lot for the mattress and want it to last a long, long time). We both played computer games (yay for having a lap-top!) for a fair number of hours over the course of the day. DH is playing Battlefield 2142 and I am replaying Diablo II (as we can't seem to find the disk for Diablo I which is where I wanted to start). I didn't get properly dressed until mid-afternoon.

It was very nice, and very out-of-the ordinary for both of us to spend a day doing only things we wanted to do.

I hope your weekend was as wonderful as mine.
