Weekend Update

Sunday night again?? Yikes. I didn't feel like I really owned this weekend. It was committed to things that I was more or less required to attend. I don't necessarily mean that in a BAD way, just a matter of fact way. A wedding Friday night, a baby shower on Saturday.

We did have a lovely long run-turned-walk on Saturday morning and after the shower I went shopping w/ my mom and sister. I finally got new jeans. I have been finding lots of good clothes at The Limited (where I hadn't shopped much since high school!). And I got to use a $30 off coupon. Excellent. Today was sleeping in and errands and laundry. We went running-turned-walking with our friend Holly and had dinner with her and her family.

I had planned to participate in Shannon's Photo Bloggy days, but I did not do so well. Just didn't do so well with it. Forgot the camera altogether on Friday and did cruddy with it on Saturday. Oh well. Can't do it great everytime.

Matt's weekend obsession was creating a fileserver for us. We have waaay too many photos and MP3s that are taking up space on our personal computers and I want to take our office paperless (i.e. scan tons of crap and store it electronically so it's not all over my office). So I guess our economic stimulus package check is going directly to Taiwan. Was that how this thing was supposed to work, I wonder?

Oh yea, thanks for all the hair input. I still have no idea what to do. I'm thinking of finding a stylist and saying “fix it.” We'll see, I guess.

  1. Ah, The Limited. I love that place. I love that they have long length pants available. I love how even the casual stuff can still be dressed up. Unfortunately, most of is now out of my price range now that we're on one income….not that I really have anywhere to wear that stuff on a daily basis anymore anyway.

    I wish you were here so my mom could do your hair. She is so good.

  2. Do share more about your fileserver. We have the same problem with pictures and videos taking up space, but also want to back everything up because I have a history of killing computers.

    Unrelated question that the 'paperless office' reminded me of. What do you do with cards that people give you? I have a tendency to want to keep them, but they take up SO much space!! I wonder if scanning would be a good solution.

    Hair-wise. Sounds like we have very similar hair and very similar styling methods (as in not styling at all in my case). I had a really short cut like Kate's in college and it was surprisingly difficult for me… there was so little that I had to make sure it looked good all the time. My vote is for stacked/inverted bob, just long enough for a ponytail.

  3. That is a hoppin' weekend. Yeah, I haven't been to The Limited in about an eon either.

    Love that pic of Ms. Smiles.

    If you ask the stylist to 'just fix it' make sure you take a good look at her hair first ;0)

  4. Love the idea of a paperless office-very in-tune with Earth Day. I hope you write a post about the file server because it's something I'm interested in too.
