The Weekend in Review

Two words... Couch Potatoes.

We did a big fat zippo, zero, nothing this weekend. Well, that's not entirely true, but it's pretty close.

Saturday we slept in late and then sat on our butts. We did have two short outings later in the afternoon.  We took another bike ride through the Boulevard section of town. We rode down out street and easily located the train tracks (Dad, I know you're proud). Our second outing landed at Target (for our second trip this week). The old wireless router finally bit the dust, so we picked up a new one. We then successfully set up our internet.

Sunday we again slept in late, but did venture out in the afternoon. Allen's old MacBook Pro stopped working. Although he has his new MBP, he still wants to keep is old one working as best as possible as a backup machine. Here's the bad news... Athens isn't big enough to have an Apple store. Here's the good news... Athens is a college town so it has PeachMac. It is an authorized Apple Specialist store. How handy! Luckily, after the computer nerd, I mean computer expert looked at it, we discovered that it was only his power cord that had died. We picked up a new one right then and there. What a relief! So to celebrate, we drove across the parking lot and looked around Trader Joe's. It was here we learned that you cannot buy alcohol on a Sunday in Georgia. Not that it was a problem for us because we weren't planning on buying any. I swear! We weren't! But the point is, we have learned now that if we plan on having any alcoholic beverages, it's best to buy them before Sunday. However, if you are at a restaurant on a Sunday and you're looking for a nice glass of wine, you might want to check with the township before hand. Some can serve you alcohol on a Sunday, some cannot.

Allen has his first day of orientation tomorrow (Monday). He will get to do things like register for class,  have a UGA ID card made, and meet his fellow landscape architecture classmates. I know he's excited and I am excited for him. While he is doing is architecture stuff, I will begin the job hunt. I have found a couple of really promising leads online, but I don't want to jinx myself so I will just for happy thoughts to be sent my way. On that same note, Allen's Granny isn't doing great, so if you could send some happy thoughts her way that would be great too.

But for now, I will leave you with other dumb laws in the state of Georgia (CLICK ME). My favorite is "Donkeys must not be kept in bathtubs." Whoops... better get ole Bessy out of the shower!
