yard sales and spiders and pounds of beef

Hi folks. Welcome to the busiest week of my life. It actually started a few days ago . . .

Our friend Adam, from Cleveland, came to visit on Friday evening. Just in time, in fact, to help us prepare for the big yard sale we were having on Saturday. So Friday night was filled with all manner of business: putting dollar-values on many of our possessions, labeling them with little stickers, yadda yadda yadda. Then, on Saturday we had to rise very early, borrow a vehicle with which to haul the long tables we were borrowing. The day continued in much the same fashion, and by the end of it we were all dead tired. Corey and I had gotten about four hours of sleep the night before, and the day was full of manual labor, constant sun, and . . . oh, I almost forgot the church board meeting I had to attend right in the middle.

So going to dinner and a movie was probably more than we all wanted, but it's all we felt like doing.

Burgers at Fuddrucker's, then Spider-Man 2. Adam ordered a one-pound burger. Good Lord, that was a large piece of meat. Think of it. Four quarter-pounders with cheese. The bun had to be custom-made, I'm sure.

Anyway, the movie was even better the second time around, and we fell asleep soon after we got home.
