A Very Good Weekend

This past weekend was one of those that go on the keeper shelf.  Dylan, Christina, Madimoo and I went to see Eddie at Woodrow Wilson on Friday.  It was a gorgeous day and a lovely ride through horse and farm country.  Eddie was doing great, and looked good.  He lost a little weight, but he said the food pretty much "sucks."  But then again, he's pretty spoiled as we went out to dinner every night because I just don't cook much anymore.  So bland cafeteria food is hard for him to get used to. 

We went on a shopping excursion to Walmart and all had dinner at a steak joint.  Took some pictures of his dorm and realized the room needs some serious decorating.

He will be coming home for a visit this coming weekend as he has an orthodonist appt, and we plan to get some posters and a floor lamp, and maybe some curtains too.  The blinds in the dorm have seen better days. 

I also accomplished alot over the weekend, purging the house of things I don't use, and taking it to Goodwill.  Still have alot of Christmas stuff to go through and donate, which I plan on doing this coming week.  I'm also making good headway in my fall cleaning, and made a grocery store run to stock up on my week of turbo cereal dieting.

Heath is in gorgeous San Francisco on a job interview with a law firm.  They flew him out last night and he's staying in a beautiful hotel with a room that overlooks a part of the Golden Gate Bridge.  He says the city is beautiful at night.  The law office has two offices in California -- San Fran, and Los Angeles.  The San Fran people will meet him for breakfast at the hotel, and then he will fly to Los Angeles for a round of afternoon interviews.

I'm so excited for him.  He's so young and has already done a lot in his life.  He sang opera in the Young Artists program in Santa Barbara for two summers, studied opera in Italy for a summer while at college and met the love of his life, a fellow opera soprano.  After graduating college, followed her to Chicago and married her.  Honeymooned in Italy.  Got a job with a law firm in Chicago and transferred to their Philadelphia office, and now he's interviewing for a dream job in sunny California.

It's so far away.  But I'm happy for him.  If he accepts the job, we Virginia hillbillies just might have to crank up the jallopy and  join him and Annie.  And of course Dylan, Christina and Madimoo will have to come too.

And you want to hear some more wonderful news?  Christina and Dylan will find out very soon if they're going to be parents again.  Life is sweet.
