The end of August has kind of picked up speed for me as it rushes toward September. This past week I've been busy(!), despite the ever-present specter of unemployment looming over me.
Over a week ago, I went to Anne's lake house with Chelsea, Kelly, and Anne, of course. It was quite possibly the best two days of my summer - relaxing, laughing, watching a meteor shower, swimming, and talking. Anne has a picture of Chelsea, Kelly and I on her blog; you can see it here. Last weekend, we all went to the Minnesota History Center, where we recorded Funkytown and got married, among other things, and to the Irish Fair, where we watched little Irish dancers, saw a sheepherding demonstration right in the middle of the crowd, and ate lots of lovely soda bread and other Irish-y fare. (Picture credit goes to Anne.)
During the week, I painted the Homans' garage some more with Kelly, and everyone celebrated her birthday on Wednesday with a trip to the Wayzata Community Church Rummage Sale, some tremendous cupcakes, and some napping. Oh, and some more Irish food. On Friday night, Kelly and I went out on the town with Brian and some of his friends to see Citizen Cope at the Fine Line. It was a really good show, and we rode in a limo! Like we were rockstars or something.
Yesterday I attended a barbeque for Rachel and Chris's impending nuptials (in January). It was fun - Chris's folks sure know how to throw a good party. Today it's off to the stepgrandparent's lake house for the day, and next weekend, off to a bridal shower. And then soon, far too soon in my opinion, Annie leaves for Germany!
