the weekend has been lovely. mostly relaxing, with a touch of activity, and lots of productivity. just the way i like it.

saturday, i ran a few errands, putzed around, and then helped matt at the church, in preparation to be on time to a christmas party, hosted by my best friend's parents. she made it home in time for the party, as a surprise to her mom, by the skin of her teeth, and it took quite a bit of creative ride-wrangling to get her from the airport to her house without her mother getting suspicious.
but it worked, her mom was totally surprised, and the party was so fun. didn't get into bed until after midnight!

this morning we got up and went to church, and then took advantage of the long, free afternoon. i baked, scrapbooked, cleaned, and cooked. but it felt good to relax!
