Burning up

Yay for three-day weekends! It was a hot and humid one, but fun nonetheless. I took Friday off... I was scheduled to work at the World's Largest Block Party that afternoon, so I took the whole day off and ran errands in the morning. Also met up with Kathy for lunch... her wedding is in two weekends! The block party was fun; I helped out at the food ticket sales booth.

Saturday was my h.s. pal Amy's wedding. She and her new hubby Bill were married in a Greek Orthodox church near my home. I'd never been to a Greek wedding before so it was interesting to see all the rituals, many of which were repeated in threes. The happy couple will be living in Bill's condo just a few blocks from mine, so I'll have some friends in the neighborhood! :)

Yesterday I went to church with Lori and Lola (Mom & Dad were at Starved Rock on another fishing trip). Then we had lunch at home... and I burned two fingers on my right hand from steam that escaped from the bowl of spaghetti sauce that I had heated up in the microwave. Ouchie! I had to keep running cool water over it to ease the pain. Anyway, it's a bit better now... still blistered but not as sore. Mocha was unusually hyper yesterday for some reason. He treated us to multiple "run around the house in circles at top speed" episodes. Crazy!

Finally yesterday I picked up the new Harry Potter book, "The Half-Blood Prince"... Can't wait to start reading it! I have one last MIS 555 assignment to finish, then I can get started on HP. Whoo!
