This weekend went by like a blur for me.
All day Friday and part of Saturday, we prepared for a BBQ that we were having.
Cleaning.
Grocery Shopping.
Cleaning some more.
So much work goes into having a party for our friends... and then when it is over, we are left with what we had before we started cleaning... lol
We did have a blast though...
About 24 people (inlcuding us) were here... we BBQ'd tri-tips... had fried rice... two different salads... green beans and bacon... artichoke and bean dip...
Oh So Much Good Food...
Not to mention the Mojitos that we had... YUMMO!!
We partied from about 6pm until close to 12am... all of the kids that were here crashed in the front room while watching a movie... while the adults chatted it up outside around the fire pit :)
Basically, today was spent recovering...
Derek played a bit of XBox...
I read the new book by Janet Evanovich... "Lean Mean Thirteen"... it was pretty good... similar to her other ones... but entertaining still.
We also swam this evening...
After the kids and Derek got out, I did some laps and then some water polo excersises...
WOW... I'm beat now.
I think that once Derek goes to day shift (on July 10th- 6am-5pm) that since he'll be home in the evenings, I'll take that opportunity to swim for about an hour or so at night... Good excersise!!!
Now I'm beat though... Ready for bed :)
Speaking of which... I hear poor Rowan in her room... Coughing like she swallowed another damn Frog.
I swear, she gets a damned croupy cough every few months or so... I wish I could figure out why!!!
Okay...
I'm off to go reread the 6th book of Harry Potter in preperation of the new one out later this month...
Have a great week all!!

I think someone had some well-deserved swim time. Sounds like your BBQ was a success.
Damn it, I can't get tri-tip within 100 miles of here! They are so good. Guess I'll have to keep looking, cause now I have tri-tip on the brain. :)
Lippy :)
