Sunday Evening

I do so enjoy Sunday evening. I've never been one to let the cold fact of Monday morning ruin my Sunday evening. Even while the work week looms, Sunday evening is still officially part of the American weekend. Monday will be here soon enough and there isn't anything you can do about it, so why not enjoy the remaining time you have?

This weekend was a good two days. Wallyball was a bust Saturday morning, as we couldn't round up enough people to play. Susan really enjoyed her afternoon at the theatre, though, (she went to see Menopause at the Luther Theatre) and I enjoyed spending Saturday afternoon with Eric and Bailey playing Halo on the X-Box. I'm not very good, and Eric killed me off repeatedly. If you didn't know him any better, you'd think he was ruthless. But he would hug and kiss me after each kill and tell me how good I was doing. Apparently, he didn't want the fact that he'd just killed me to hurt my feelings.

Alex spent Friday night with a friend and then had to work Saturday and Sunday. We saw him just long enough Saturday for him to tell us that his show Friday night was a success. The audience was good and the other bands seemed to appreciate his talent. No pay for this show, just some experience and exposure. After work and studying with friends Sunday evening, Alex joined me on the back porch and played guitar while I enjoyed a glass of wine and a cigar. He played a few of his personal favorites. I really enjoy these moments, since we are beginning to see less of him all the time.

I felt I deserved the wine and cigar. Susan & I worked the entire day Sunday revamping the master bedroom closet, bath cabinets, and dresser/chest/nightstand drawers. It turned out great. We completely purged everything we don't use or need anymore and now everything is better organized with some space to spare. We're both seriously tired (even sore), but it was worth the effort. Now, we just have every other room in the house to do! My only regret was that we had to spend such a beautiful day indoors.
