CATCHING UP!

Wow, I can't believe it's been four days since I posted on the blog - that's the longest I've gone since I started it! Just had an incredibly busy weekend and Monday, I guess. After a long work day on Friday, I headed up to Capital City Club for a committee meeting - I'm on the club's events committee, and our meeting was at 4:30 on Friday afternoon. Afterward, I headed back toward home, out to the NE, and met Dennis and some other friends of ours at Vino 100 for a wine tasting. We enjoyed tasting a few wines, then the six of us headed over to Carrabba's for dinner - we took two bottles of wine in with us - and finished both! An incredibly fun evening was had by all!

Saturday, after getting up and spending the day on yard work and various projects around the house all day, we knocked off early and got ready and headed up to the lake to enjoy an evening cruise on the Southern Patriot with the gang from Capital City Club.. we enjoyed some great food and cocktails - and a beautiful evening! The weather was perfect - very nice evening and NO stormy weather for a change! We sat on the upper deck with our friends and enjoyed some great Jimmy Buffett music and a wonderful time! I will post a couple pics from that soon, when I get them from Dennis.

On Sunday, I was bad - and lazy - instead of getting up and going to church, I slept in and let Dennis go without me. He had ushering duties, so he had to go - I felt so wiped out, I just got another hour and a half or so of sleep, then got up and did some work. Vacation bible school started Sunday night @ church but we opted to not go to the first night because we were just too tired! Tonight, though (Monday) we did go - enjoyed dinner and fellowship and an interesting program.. every night this week, they are doing a different program of some interest for the adults while the kids do their own thing in the other building. Tonight's program was presented by a guy who used to work for SLED in the forensic toxicology area - about crime scene investigation. Now when I watch Law & Order, I'll know a thing or two! (maybe!) Anyway, it was a VERY interesting program.

Got home tonight and booked my hotel room for Charlotte next week - I have to go up to take a class to get my NC notary.. it's SO easy here in SC - you just fill out paper work and you've got it.. in NC, you have to sit through an all-day class and then take a test at the end of the day. I'm going up next Tuesday and Wednesday - the class is Wednesday, but I'm going up Tuesday. My mom is going with me, and we're going to hit the mall of course, and probably Cheesecake Factory for dinner! She'll relax while I'm in class on Wednesday, then after it's over, around 3:00, we'll hit the mall again for a short while before heading to our OTHER fave restaurant in Charlotte, PF Chang's, for dinner, before coming home - not really looking forward to an all-day boring class - but I am looking forward to the restaurants and the mall - I always love going to Charlotte!

Time to turn in for tonight! Glad I could find a few minutes to catch up this blog!
