The Weekend

I feel like I don’t have much to show for this weekend.  Usually I complete a project or accomplish a few things that provide blogging material.  This weekend I didn’t accomplish much of anything other than running, playing tennis, and adding to my soon to be a sewing room mess.

My father-in-law has generously let me have anything that I want from my mother-in-law’s sewing room.  The sheer amount of stuff is overwhelming.  I spent a snow day last week spreading out all of my supplies on the floor, then adding what I inherited from my grandmother to my things, and finally grouping my mil’s thing along with mine and Granny’s.  Saturday we filled the Explorer with more supplies.  I’ve yet to go through my new haul.  The thought of organizing all of these supplies is a bit daunting.  I think I need several snow days where I’m trapped at home and can do nothing but work.

When I look at this photo, I actually am not quite so overwhelmed.  I just need to come up with a system and to decide exactly where to put what.  I have a sewing table with storage, a matching four drawer storage cube, a dresser, several plastic bins, and a filing cabinet (that needs rehab before it can be used).  I just need some motivation and time.  Would anyone like to help? 


Saturday night we went to fun beer dinner at our club.  I am not a beer person, I prefer wine, but I did taste all of them and found a few tolerable.

You can see that I’m not the only person at the table who prefers wine.


We sampled these beers.  A surprise to me was that I liked the Dixie Blackened Voodoo, a darker beer.  If I had to drink a whole glass of one of these and not just a sip, I’d choose the Allagash, a pale beer.  Do you recognize or like any of these? 


Each beer sample was served with the following foods.  The food was delicious!  My favorite was the Kielbasa wrapped in puffed pastry served with mustard on the side.  Yum!


What about you?  Do you prefer beer or wine or do you not drink at all?  I could honestly never drink again and not miss it much at all.  Don’t get me wrong, I love to relax with my friends and enjoy a glass every now and then, I’d just rather eat than drink.
