Weekend update

Last weekend was a busy one.

Friday night: Yoga class. It hurt so good. It'd been a few weeks since we'd gone and I felt it!!! After class, I went over to J's to help repair a new closet organizer he'd bought. Yes, I said repair. He tried to put it together and didn't put all the right pieces in place. When he tried to take it apart, he stripped some of the screws and broke some of the particle board. Messy, messy.

In his defense, the instructions included with the Swedish assemble yourself furniture had NO words. Just pictures. So he needed to interpret which piece went where and secured with what fastener. (He's not the only 1 with problems assembling furniture from this company. A few friends have sworn NEVER to buy furniture from this company due to the difficulties they've had. I guess 1 of my gifts is being able to interpret what the pictures mean. Maybe I can get a second job as an archaeologist interpreting pictographs or petroglyphs!)

Anyways, we were able to get the closet organizer fixed. (With a little help from a rubber mallet, pliers, tie straps, glue, drill & screws.) It's not as pretty as it was brand new (or if I had all of my tools & etc.) but it stands level and upright without the aide of objects on either side propping it up.


Saturday: Errands. Dinner at C and D's place. It has been a while since we've been over their place AND they'd never met HRH. It was a lot of fun. The evening slipped away like mere minutes. Good food, good company. C and D have quite a bit of land so we let HRH run free. We'd toss 1 of his favorite balls into the woods and watch him scurry about retrieving it. The little guy got a workout that's for sure!

Sunday: Shopping. Nancy Wilson concert at the Benedum. What an excellent show. I've listened to her show on NPR but I'd never seen her before. She's quite the entertainer. I guess that's why she's been in the music business for 5 decades! And the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz orchestra that backed her up were top notch.
