My Weekend

It's Monday again.  Already looking forward to Friday.

Saturday we had a nice time at my sisters house.  There is nothing like a BBQ on a hot summer's day.  Friends of ours came by and we just sat around the patio talking and laughing.  I love nights like that, need more of those.

Sunday Matt and I ran errands.  Our toilet seat took a crap *hehe, pun intended.  So we took a trip to Lowes.  It's fun to walk around there and pick out house hold appliances that we'll never be able to afford.  Ah, to dream.  But we went over to the carpet section and decided on what we want to put down in the fall.  Have to get started on sprucing up this place if we want to get it on the market next year! 

We went for a walk when we got home, but it was so HOT that we decided to turn around half way and go back home.  I was hoping an ice cream man might drive by, but there aren't many of those around any more.  Maybe that's what I'll do with my life, buy an ice cream truck...I think if people ate more Drumsticks and Choco-Tacos, the world might be a happier place.

And today, on our day off (Matt gets every other Monday off and it's so nice, but that means he also has to work every other Saturday, which blows) we are supposed to go pick up our Marriage Certificate so I can start changing my name on things.  There is a Social Security office near by and the DMV is close too.  Hopefully I can get all that done today.  But Matt got a call from his mom this morning and her car died on her way home from work.  That was at 8, it's now 11 and he's still not home.  I really wanted to get to all of these places as they opened to avoid the end of the month crowd at the DMV.  Oh well. 

In other news, I am so excited about the new "glass" I bought for my camera!!  After much deliberation, I went with the Nikon 18-200mm.  I was using the 18-55mm and the 55-200mm, which both came in the kit I bought.  It got to be too much of a hassle while hiking to keep changing, or wishing I had brought one or the other with me.  I think it was the right choice.  Can't wait to start shooting with it!  Now that the wedding is over, I can start getting more into my camera.  I've had it forever, and I need to sit down and REALLY start learning about it.
