A Relaxing Weekend…

May 19, 2009

I think not. But we did take some time on Sunday to get outside. I had been wanting to do a bike ride near Santa Cruz, on the cliffs along the Pacific Ocean. it was really beautiful. And about 10 degrees cooler than it was in San Jose. It was a warm weekend, in the upper 90s.

We were really pretty busy around the house, again. Bill had some projects around the house and I did some work in the garage, inventorying and estimating value for some Goodwill donations. I decided to go with the tax deduction of a donation rather than the cash in hand of a garage sale. I’d say a good trade off. We have a few things left to sell on Craigs List and ebay, but after all the work this weekend, I can now park my car in the garage. Yay!!!! It is a major accomplishment considering how the garage looked 7 weeks ago.

We also finished hanging the pictures this weekend. Well, almost all of them. I just remembered I have to put up my travel needlepoints. And the guest room is almost ready for our first house guests.

The exhaustion continued when I took CJ to visit Bill at work. She is a pretty high strung dog, but thankfully she didn’t embarrass Bill. She settled down enough for us to enjoy lunch, and Bill even got to take her up to see his desk. (Yes, we do know she’s a dog.) We (CJ and I) were both wiped out from the excitement that we napped this afternoon. CJ’s been sleeping pretty steadily since 2. I’m sure that she’ll be herself by the morning. As will I.
