Yesterday we spent the afternoon and early evening at Will’s Company’s annual Family Picnic and can I just tell you that spending four and a half hours outside in 100ish degree heat and pounding sunlight? Was so fun.  Only, you know, not.  Though I am pretty sure I lost a few pounds when I sweat them out of me.  I shouldn’t complain too much, though, because going to the picnic meant that I didn’t have to cook and that we didn’t have to pay for our dinner (it was provided).  Free food is a pretty strong draw, no matter what the temperature is outside.

When we got home we closed ourselves (and the cat) in the bedroom and turned Bert on full force and spent the rest of the evening sprawled out on the bed and watching movies–30 Days of Night and Kung Fu Panda.  I can promise you that the second was chosen as a direct reaction to the first–nothing like watching some guys head get blown in half right before you are supposed to go to sleep for the night to make you say “you know what? I don’t mind staying up an extra 90 minutes if I can replace the icky with something fun” and seriously? Kung Fu Panda was awesome.  We might buy it (when we have the money) we liked it so much.

Honestly? With all of the work and wedding stuff and money issues that we’ve had swirling around our heads for the last few weeks, it was nice to take an evening off to just relax and not think about all of the rest of the crap that burdens us during the day.  It was not a surprise that I slept much better last night than I have in a while.

Today, my nose is back to the grindstone and I am planning on working all day to try and this evening Will and I will finalize the schedule of events for the wedding with our venue/reception site and put together a working budget for fall.  I might not sleep as well tonight but I am glad to have had last night to lie around and just enjoy each others’ company.
