Friday night Cdub and I went to see a band in which one of my co-workers is the lead singer. Well, first we went to the Hibernian for dinner. And then we went to Lowes and bought blinds. The band was great; the bar was smokey and loud, so we left around midnight.

Saturday morning I went out to change my sparkplugs. Had some trouble breaking the first plug loose, but eventually I got it. I had to call my dad in a panic when, after putting the first one in, the socket wouldn't come out. (I had to take the plug out, WD-40 the socket, and then put the plug back in.) The first one took an hour, but once that was done with, the others took me a total of about 20 minutes. And the car runs! Yay!

So, D came up, and I thought he might have to help with that (Ha! Am cool independant woman! Except for calling my Daddy!), but he didn't, so we went out to A Southern Season. I got coffee, wine, and some Foster's Market five pepper jelly. Also met Sara Foster. We picked up the plant from my office (I was mercilessly mocked, because apparently it's not that heavy) and then hung my new, room-darkening (except not so much, thanks to the spotlight that can be seen from the moon that is behing my house) blinds. Lonestar dinner, which will be turned into steak salad tonight.

Yesterday was my first outing as the 2006 Raleigh Jaycee Adopt-A-Highway chair. We have a wicked busy stretch of highway (some of which is in a construction zone, which we are not cleaning), so a good day is when no one gets hurt. Also, I have a slight fear we might find a body. Which, technically we did, but it was a deer.

Oh, and I applied for at least 7 jobs yesterday. One big application to do tonight.

How was your weekend? (Janet, no whining about how you weekend was terrible because you had to come home from your cruise.)
