a desert fete

For a long time I have thought about taking a page from the books of a couple of my favorite bloggers, and recapping the weekend in images. Mostly, I think it's a great way to make sure I am active in my picture taking, since I sort of have someone to report back to. It is so hard to keep up with, so we will see how it goes.

Ben works Saturday mornings, so I almost always "sleep in." This means I stay in bed and read longer than appropriate. It is very luxurious, and I have made quite the habit of it. Perfect for INSANELY rainy days like Saturday. (After I managed to pry myself out of bed) Lorenzo and I got started on his derby car. Followed by rain play. The rest of the weekend was spent working, in a manner. But the good, fun, fulfilling kind. Even though we have a second room set up as office/music room, I like to work out in the living room when I have a significant project ahead of me. I pull the dining table out into the middle of the open space so that if I want to watch re runs of buffy while I cut & glue I can. Making diagrams & listening to TAL late into Saturday I felt like I was in school again. At one point in the evening Ben even turned to me and said, "Remember when you were in school for 5 years? And I was there the whole time." Cute. Not pictured was the reward of all the hard work, where we scooted over to Blind Lady Ale House, our new favorite haunt. I only had one beer (more or less), but it must have been a strong one 'cause this morning has been a little rough!
