Weekend

On Friday evening, Austin's mom arrived and we went out for dinner. We got home around 9:00 and talked for about an hour before we all fizzled out and went to bed. This meant we woke up earlier than normal on Saturday so we went to a coffee shop for a relaxing and delicious breakfast. After looking at all the cool kitchen gadgets, wines, and other delicacies at the cafe, we headed to the farmers market. Even though it's early in the season, it was a lot of fun to walk around and check everything out.

Austin's mom left around noon to go see her mom so the Lunderoys descended to the basement to work on The Project. Storage Room A had finally gotten to an unbearable level of junk and needed to to be maintained. It was a two person job because we both had random things in there from our lives prior to cohabitation. In fact, some of my stuff was moved directly from my little grad school apartment to storage to the basement of our current residence. It was almost eerie finding my entire grad school backpack intact, bus pass and a to-do list in the front pocket ready to go.

Anyway, besides finding the occasional nuggets of long gone days, we ended up generating four and a half leaf bags of garbage and massive amounts of recycling. It was almost shameful and we solemnly swore never to be so disgusting again. It was also enlightening to remove so much physical baggage from our home and to have a good spring cleaning.

There is still more work to be done; I have to sort through tons of grad school files, binders, and packets. Austin has Rubbermaid bins full of various cables and cords that look like gigantic knots. I also need to go through Storage Room B though it's more like a glorified closet and won't be as bad to prune.

We worked on the cleaning and organizing most of Saturday, then I spent about five hours on work stuff on Sunday, and now it's Monday afternoon with our first Sand Crabs volleyball game coming up at 8:00pm... can't wait!
