Weekend Things
>> Saturday, May 30, 2015
We are up to a whole lot of nothing this weekend -- and I love it. Too often we load our off time with obligations, trips, and other time-suckers. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I love seeing friends, family, and doing fun stuff . . . but last weekend we had four gatherings in four days. This introvert was completely exhausted after all that.
