Ever have a weekend sneak up on you that you intended to be quiet and peaceful and ended up being hectic and exhausting?<\/p>\n
Yeah, me either.<\/p>\n
For some reason, I had thought this weekend would be fairly mundane and routine. We had Caleb’s soccer game on Saturday morning, and that was pretty much it. We had planned a get-together for my dad’s birthday on Sunday, but canceled it when he admitted he really didn’t want us to go through the trouble. Likewise, a meeting for our upcoming concert at the end of October was moved to tonight. The weekend was shaping up to be fairly boring.<\/p>\n
And it was.<\/p>\n
We lounged. A lot more than we probably should have. We cleaned some more boxes out of our storage shed and I hefted a few boxes up to the attic. We straightened up a bit. Played with the boys. Ate periodically. All pretty much mundane trivial stuff.<\/p>\n
Normally a weekend intended to be unencumbered ends up being completely the opposite. I suppose our karma is being stored for a potentially painful weekend coming up? Who knows? All I know is that I got nothing accomplished this past weekend, and I’m all right with that.<\/p>\n
Of course, I did get to catch up on about 4 to 5 hours of Metroid Prime 3. I’m at about 15 hours, and I feel like I’m over halfway through. If the game ended within the next 3 to 4 hours, I’d be okay with that. This is the first game I’ve played in a long time where I have the itch to complete it and immediately run through it again on a higher difficulty setting.<\/p>\n
We have a lot scheduled for the weekend ahead. Here’s hoping it all doesn’t blow up in our faces!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
