Long-long weekend!

There are days when you actually feel like going to work and today was one of those. Years ago, my boss was chatting with me and told me how he comes to work to relax because his weekends are so hectic! The day at office is to sit in meetings or in front of the computer for 8 hrs, go for a lunch break with your buddies and discuss critical issues in the coffee room over a cup of freshly brewed Columbian roast. I did not truly understand what he meant until I met his wife. She was in her late 40s but had energy of a teenager. (Actually I should clarify that to of a 21 yr old since that is the legal drinking age.) What I mean was just she had unprecendented amount of energy. After bar-hopping and dancing till 4 AM in the morning, she was apologetic for having to leave because her husband wanted to go home! So we had one of those fun-filled, busy weekend. What should get (or not) a mention was the long due fix in the bathroom (things like this give long lasting or ever lasting sense of accomplishment). The other discovery was the fact that our home was the best place to watch city fireworks as it was closer than the park we intended to go to and the comfort of the outdoor patio sofa! (instead of the lawn littered with dog poop! eww) The fun part was the 4th of July BBQ we did at our friends place who lives in Santacruz moutains. After driving for 10 miles through the hills, we figured that the car was soon going to run out of gas! The only consolation was the fact that one of Anshu's friends was driving with us so he would at least push the car, if the need be. So the whole day was filled with a lunch at friends place, BBQ dinner in the remote Santacruz mountains and the awesome fireworks that we enjoyed from our home.
But where is the hectic part you think. Well, part of it was assembling the swing which I did pretty much alone. Its the same one that Anshu was happily sitting on. Then there was changing water from the outdoor pool in the picture. We cleaned it and shifted it to the side yard. And other things. ( if you read my other blogs you will know! (I am tired of typing already!)
