Swell Weekend

Aaron and I had a nice, laid-back weekend. We didn't really do anything on Friday evening... we sat around the apartment, drank a couple of beers, and watched 'Life is Beautiful,' which is a terrific movie. It always makes me teary-eyed.

We wound up going to my parent's house on Saturday afternoon, and spent a good five hours working on an oak office chair that Dad garbage-picked a while back. We spent almost the whole time stripping the old finish, which was an ugly, yellowed polyeurethane of some sort. Blah. It looks much nicer now that it's down to the wood. Sometime soon we'll get to sand it and do some other repairs to the wood where it's gapping, cracked, or missing. It should be fun - I like having projects to work on.

About six of my aunts were down there, too, having a sleepover with my mom. It looked like they were having a good time. I think they were going to watch movies and drink wine all night, and that's always fun! Dad and Lou went down to Lexington, I think, and were going to go fishing all day. Also fun...
