The Froo-Froo Bits:
This was an AWESOME long weekend. Got out of work early Friday to help Nick & Bronnie w/ last minute cleaning. We had a "mini-con" this weekend at our house. The three of us and our closest 4 friends got together to roll funny shaped dice & pretend to be big damn heroes in a home-brew game of D&D that's been on-going for a while.

IT ROCKED ALL THE AVAILABLE SOCKS!!

Yeah, I'm a geek. Yeah, we were in the basement. Not a pizza or can of soda in sight though. We managed to eat tasty and healthy (both at once even!) and I'm pretty proud of that.

I didn't exercise on Sunday & Monday as I normally would have, and I'm not too worried about it. Going forward, I'm going to ask for "walk breaks", but this weekend it was fine. It was like a little vacation, and I let it be what it was.
