Renee came to visit this weekend!!  It was our second annual unofficial 4th meetup.  Too bad it rained all day yesterday.  Gragh.  Despite the weather, we had a fantastic weekend filled with random shopping, delicious beer, a great pot roast (farmers’ market potatoes courtesy of my favorite merchant!) and one truly awful zombie flick (Zombie Wars..I literally know people who could’ve shot a better film).

Our weekend was also full of spending money, a real novelty for me after a few weeks of strict frugality.  (And what a refreshing way to relax after my stressful week of dealing with not being paid when I should have been..another story for another time.)  I feel compelled to show off my splurge:

Socks!  What can I say?  Gap was having a sale, so I got 4 pairs for less than the price of 1 normally.  What?!  I can’t wear handknits every day, you know!

So now I’m left with some neighborhood idiots who didn’t use up their fireworks, loads upon loads of laundry, and a slight dread of work tomorrow.  Why do holiday weekends have to end?
