I tried to be as obnoxious as I could, asking if they had bananas… and then insisting that they sell me a full banana.
Audrey was really calm and professional, and explained that they weren’t allowed to sell fruit directly. My reply was: “But I have a lot of money.”
Liz and I were losing it in the car, but Audrey was cool and professional through and through. Eventually we just ordered Blizzards like normal people, and made our way to the window.

Bagster came to do their pickup, and I got to see the whole process. I’ve used this service I don’t know how many times now… and I feel like each time, I push the envelope just a little more, in terms of how much weight I put into each bag.

Went on a run today, to pick up our tile order. Who knew that so much tile would be this heavy, and this expensive?

While Liz and I have been in Georgia, we’ve done a lot of the cooking – making meals, some involved, some easy.
We’ve stepped into the suburban tempo of living in a house full of kids, who are in both high school and middle school (and juggling part-time jobs) – with all the activity and chaos that entails.

We got to meet one of Tricia’s neighbors, Lindsey, who was kind enough to lend us their powerwasher. Which we put to good use, today.

Nothing like having a full day of running, cocktails, and shopping… and ending it with pasta.
I guess the only thing better: ending the evening with an affogato.

Spent some time today, trying to get an old power washer in the garage up and running again. It had been fixed a while ago, but I think it’s been sitting around for a bit… and I was having trouble getting it started.

Got to attend another concert, this time for Sebastian and his orchestra. We arrived to find a pretty crowded auditorium, and ended up sitting in the back of the gym – but got a pretty close view of Sebastian as a result.
