Oh What a Busy Weekend!

Friday

• Indian food with friends - yum! (Using a restaurant.com coupon - thank you!)
• Watching a movie @ their house. Earth - AMAZING!

Saturday

• Breakfast and coffee @ home (Scrambled eggs with leeks, poblano chile and grape tomatoes with Dave's Killer Bread toast - with great ingredients, you can't go wrong!)
• House cleaning - okay this one isn't happening in the way we'd planned, but we've already set the tomatoes to drying and put all the sheets in the wash machine, so we're at least started
• Veg Fest - fun!
• Visit TRee and see the new baby who is cute as a button!
• Mini golfing birthday party

Sunday

• Maybe breakfast with friends from DC at the farmers market
• Kayaking - time and location TBD, but we are DEFINITELY GOING!
• See the baby if that didn't fit into Saturday's schedule
• Doggie Palooza?
• Mt Angel Oktoberfest?

Oh, there are so many options. I imagine that we'll come home after kayaking and finish the house cleaning, but there's always fall when the weather is bad, right? (The correct answer is: wrong, because in the fall and winter, there are all kinds of exciting and interesting indoor events, too, but I'm going to let it slide this time. I'm sure we'll be able to get the guest bedroom and bathroom picked up for our visitor next weekend and he doesn't care anyways.)

The Best Laid Plans

Okay, so none of that happened last night, but we did purchase a Yakima dry dock and saddles for our kayak transportation needs (which we'll hopefully use this weekend!) and got to see some good friends afterwards (with whom I hope to spend some time this weekend and with whom we're camping next weekend!). That was nice, although the high I've been on since I passed my exams needs a house-cleaning outlet. I can feel my nerves growing! I may have to clean tonight after my event even though I have to work early tomorrow!

I should have cleaned this morning, but got distracted by A & E, no not the channel (we don't do cable), but the people - first, A joined me upstairs and then E called after A had gone off to work, so I spent much of my early starting morning with them. I did, however, get some things done today, including:

• ordering my birth certificate long distance
• calling several patients that I need to follow up with
• getting all the things collected that I need for my event tonight
• sending several letters that needed to go out in the mail
• picking up dry dog food and raw meat to make fresh dog food
• getting fingerprinted for my licensing application

So, I'm heading off for some prep time at my event location, giving the talk/demo and then heading home as soon as possible. Maybe I shouldn't be drinking coffee these days - I think it just makes the mania stronger.

Something to Report

From my To-Do list on Sunday, I have accomplished a few things:

• mail ear seeds to brother
• mail donation to alma matter
• study for board exams
• collect gas receipts from car

and most importantly: rock board exams!
Yes, I passed my exam today. One more to take in two weeks. Wish me luck!
