Balls

I haven't left the house all day. It has been snowing on and off since I got up, so it was a good day to stay at home and be domestic. I've done all of our laundry, washed our sheets and the sheets on the guest bed, made bread, boiled eggs for lunches next week, and done various chores in our office. (Like getting the files off my old ancient desktop computer so that I can get rid of it.) Because I can't get the damn thing to network with my laptop, this is taking longer than I thought. Yep, that degree in Computer Science is really paying off. Hey, I did manage to "build" us an external hard drive so that we can digitize our music. Not that building an external drive is very hard, but hey, it took effort.

I'm glad I was productive today, because I can't really say the same about the rest of the weekend. We went out with some friends (John, Jo, and Jo's roommate) for St. Patrick's Day on Friday night. We went to O'Shucks, a basement bar downtown, and drank a lot of green beer. Okay, I drank a lot of green beer. Everyone else drank a moderate amount of green beer. That led to me sleeping until late in the morning on Saturday. We made breakfast and then spent the rest of the day shopping for household things (a grill, namely) but not actually buying anything (except groceries).

So, not the most exciting weekend anyone ever had. The weekend previous was much more exciting, because I had friends from college in town! They drove out from Iowa, and were here Saturday through Thursday. It was so good to see them. We really need to get out to Iowa to visit them; I haven't been back there for three years.

That wasn't the only exciting thing about last weekend. We went to see a production of "The Full Monty" in Park City (Chris' cousin's boyfriend was in it) on Friday night. I soooo did not expect full frontal nudity! In Utah! Is that legal here? Friends, I saw balls. But seriously, balls aside, it was one of the best shows I have seen in a very, very long time. I would recommend it, but it's run is over.
