really great weekend

Friday: Slept in after getting home late Thursday night. Read one measly chapter, then went to the store to find zucchini. The first store didn't have it, so I tried another. With zucchini and lots of cheese in tow, went home to make delicious zucchini squares. Immediately cut my thumb on a cheese grater, but wrapped it up in a paper towel to cover the blood and kept working. Also sliced cheese and frantically got myself ready, then left with zucchini squares and cheese for the graduate student and faculty reception at Oakview. Mingled and chatted away. Talked with a professor about Texas and the Oregon Trail while everyone else cleaned up. Went out with a group for (more) drinks afterwards.

Saturday: Up early to pack up my dirty laundry and hit the road for Richmond. Arrived in time for Mexican Saturday lunch. Took a nap. Went to the store to look for zucchini. The first store didn't have it. Recognize this?! Found it at a different store. Learned Ukrops doesn't sell beer, and sort of felt stupid for not knowing that already. Came home to make zucchini squares, but had happy hour with the grandparents instead. Started making zucchini squares, and used a food processor instead of slicing my thumb again. Frantically got myself ready and left with zucchini squares-turned-triangles and beer for the James and Jennifer Send-off. Chatted with lots of friends.

Sunday: Read another measly chapter in bed, then showered and ate delicious lunch with family. Read some more with tea and coffee while everyone else napped. Went to church and got teary-eyed over my real Murphys see-you-later. Home to watch some opera with Grandma and read. Scrounged up some dinner, and now about to read more.
