Oh, we just had the best weekend.

There was Tech Cocktail, Bella visiting us, and Glin's "birthday party," and seeing Matthew on his birthday, the farmer's market, a clean car, brunch at Dodo, and lots of Pitchfork Music Festival, Ali's shower, and Steve's birthday party at Old Town Ale House, and Sunday morning readings of the papers while Sen. Lindsey Graham pisses us off so much we look for things to throw at the television set. I also ran five miles, dropped another two pounds and picked up all of my dry cleaning, which taught me a very important lesson:

When you let the dry cleaning pile up, it will cost you $75. I wanted to cry.

Now I am tired and I must clean up my house before heading off to bed. The bills are paid, the groceries have been bought, and I'm just as happy as I know how to be. I was thinking on the ride home from work Thursday that I'm truly lucky to have so many good things in my life right now, so many good people. It isn't perfect, but it's nice.
