Thursday night we saw the Rentals at the Nokia for free. The theater is really weird, like a fancy movie theater. The openers were OK but too long and the Rentals were great but cut-off (literally, a dude came out and turned off the amps) mid-encore. Lame.
Friday night P. played guitar with his friends and I baked brownies. Saturday we drove up to Connecticut for a BBQ at my brother's house. We hadn't seen it before - really nice. Plus they have a giant deck with a pool and hot tub. Much swimming and eating later, we drove up to Boston, dropped off my other brother and stayed at my parents' house overnight.
Sunday we met K. for brunch at Christopher's in Cambridge and had so much fun with her and her daughter L. We went over to a toy store and spoiled L. a little bit. 
K is moving to North Carolina this month so we won't see them as often but hope to make a trip down. Came back to my parents' house to hang out and have dinner before hitting the road home.Monday morning I started more work on the website and ordered business cards and photo mailers. Didn't come up for air all week. Did meet P, J, and C at Hill Country for Texas barbeque and Blue Bell ice cream Wednesday. And Thursday night K and I went to Fresh for free makeovers and met M and P for dinner at Mizu. Excellent sushi.
I got a couple of good deliveries this week - my bridesmaid dress for M's wedding & the business cards and photo mailers. The bridesmaid's dress is gorgeous - nice red shangtung silk, great cut. Plus I'm pleased with how the stuff printed and now I just have to send them out this week. Good craftsmanship all around.
Last night we had C & M and J over for dinner. I'd made a huge Fresh Direct order since we're attempting spend-nothing-September (after Labor Day), so dinner was easy. Fresh pasta, sauce, grilled garlic-lemon shrimp and a big salad. Then plum cobbler for dessert. J brought good cheeses to start and C & M brought wine. We drank it all - ha! Very fun night.
Now today we're going to a barbeque, tomorrow our friend D is visiting us and the weekend should be fun.
