There is NO such thing as a "nothing to do" weekend with us

I was really looking forward to this past weekend because for a change we had NOTHING on our agenda. We had no where to be and not a thing in the world to do. However, this changed quickly...as soon as I left work Friday Adam had acquired a pair of tickets from Don, that owns Market City Cafe in Macon, for "Fired Works" preview party that night. Fired Works is a regional Ceramics Exhibit and Sale where Fifty-eight artists display their clay creations at the Round Building in Central City Park. At the preview party we got to meet the artists and get the first chance to buy and browse thousands of pieces of original pottery and sculpture. There was live music, burgers grilled on site by Market City Cafe. I had a much better time than expected :) There was even an artist from Watkinsville!!!

Saturday we had planned a l-a-z-y day. We slept in and then headed to Brian and Deana Mathes' swimming pool. Deana met us there but the laziness that had been planned did not last long :) As soon as Deana arrived she had a question for us, "Would y'all like to go to the Celebrity Casino night?" (Brian (Deana's hubby) dad had some extra tickets) Of course Adam and I did not pass up on a chance to do something (especially anything for free, tickets were $45 and we got the hookup, thank you Brian's daddy!) Well, immediately Deana and I had to find something to wear! So from the pool we left and headed to the mall! From the mall to showers to makeup to finally arriving to Celebrity Casino night. The entire event was catered by Kroger and it had a boat load of food!!! We had so much fun (we always do when we're together). We did some "pretend" gambleing (and I am worried about Adam going to Vegas, haha, he lost just about everything he had haha). We left the event with 6 wine bottles and Deana 3.

Sunday came and we had Tyler's (one of Adams new co-workers, weekend weatherman and reporter) cook out party on lake Sinclair. They day started off a tad rough because I got a little ill with Perry (one of Adams co-workers, a "videographer" he is known for his crude and silly sense of humor). He was late getting home from church and it put us ALL behind (Deana and Brian rode with us because they had to leave early like us for a business dinner) Anyways, the ill-ness didn't last long because you really cannot stay mad at Perry for long (even though he NEVER owned up to putting us about 30-40 minutes behind schedule). I bought potato salad, made chocolate chip cookies and a TON my popular bacon & ranch dip to take to Tyler's. The dip did not make it to Tyler's because we forgot it in the fridge and needless to say I was a little upset about it. (but I am going to save it and take it camping with us this coming up weekend, so it was not a total loss). Tyler lives in a beautiful house on the lake! We had a wonderful time, but unfortunately like I mentioned earlier we had to leave the fun early because Adam and I had our nearly and newly engaged Sunday school class at 5.

We finished with our Sunday school class around 6:30, changed and took Adams sweet chocolate lab to the park for some exercise. It was beautiful weather and we just enjoyed some time relaxing outside and watching her play. We finished up our weekend watching the ACM awards and a Movie. I HATE when Monday comes. Lucky for Adam he off until Wednesday...I am a tad jealous :)
Next weekend will be a NEW adventure for me...Adam and I are going camping with Brian and Deana! I can't wait! I am sure it will be a blast!
