On Saturday, after leisurely sleeping in and having breakfast together, we bummed around the house being lazy. I half watched some random movie on TV while puttering around and Drew was in his office, working on various things. In the afternoon, I met a friend at Tom Brown Park for some photography fun. We’re both aspiring wannabe photographers and enjoy puttering around and learning various things on our cameras. We brought tripods and took a few practice shots with cameras set up on them.

She was using her tripod for the first time, I think, and was gleefully excited when she discovered what different knobs did. I was able to show her a few things with the tripod, and she helped me find where the black and white setting was on my camera… something I knew was there but had just never played with.

We had fun walking around and just playing with random things on our camera. I managed to get a couple decent shots.

After returning home, Drew and I ran an errand or two, and then spent the rest of the evening lounging at home. We laughed that he spent most of the evening in the office and I was on the couch, couponing.When he heard me printing coupon after coupon, he shouted, “Is this what we’ve come to on a Saturday night?” Apparently so.

The next day we went to church and volunteered in the sound booth. He did all the hard work, I just clicked on the next slide for the powerpoint. After church, we returned home for a lunch of grilled cheese and tomato bisque soup. We read the paper, I took a nap, and we were lazy.

Later in the afternoon, we decided to take a drive toward Thomasville to visit a furniture store and the open house they were having. We’ve been dreaming of when we can actually have a nicely furnished living room with seating for more than two. We figured the prices would be unobtainable and since we’re trying to do the Dave Ramsey thing, figured we’d have to save up until next year for a furniture purchase. We were pleasantly surprised that much of it was quite obtainable in the near future. We found a sofa piece that we were both drawn to. Well, I think I more fell in love with it. I was mentally rearranging our living room to make room for it. We sat in it for a few minutes to make sure our butts didn’t go numb, and envisioned it in our home. We talked about it on the way home, and decided we may be able to purchase it in the next month or so. That would be good, since my mother in law is coming to visit soon and she’ll have some other place to sit than the floor.

With the rest of my Sunday evening, I attempted to bake the cake that I needed for my cake decorating class tonight, and after a trip to WalMart (where I found my sister, also purchasing cake supplies) I returned home to discover I had forgotten butter and could not bake said cake. I ended up baking it last night while I also prepared the frosting I need for the class. I think I may be sick of cake and frosting by the time this is all said and done.

Here’s hoping I don’t turn into a cake class dropout. Pictures to come…
