The absolutely, positively, no-work discussion weekend!

Kyle had plans to go camping with his dad this past weekend, and I went up to SLC. So, I was cleaning up my desk when Jeff called on Friday afternoon to suggest that we visit the Utah Parade of Homes over the weekend and ask me how my afternoon was going. I proceeded to launch into some lame story about how somebody at the office saved a document in Microsoft Word on our network, as opposed to WordPerfect, and the spacing and paging got all jacked up and the letter wouldn't print...yeah, fascinating, I know! He then proposed a novel concept...that neither of us talk about work, at all, all weekend long. I responded that I wasn't quite sure that I could do that, but I would give it a try. So, our no-discussion-about-work rule went into effect before I got on the plane.

And the result? It was a smashing success! We had a FABULOUS time. Dinner with friends on Friday night, visiting the Farmer's Market at Liberty Park and seeing the Batman movie on Saturday, and going to the Nordstrom sale and Utah Parade of Homes on Sunday. I was SO dumb and forgot my camera...but Jeff took lots of pictures and I'll have to try to post some later. I like no-work-discussion weekends!

Other than that, not too much going on. I'm holding down the fort at work and off to a magazine meeting now. I'll also post pictures later about the neighbors whose house had a HUGE fire over the weekend. Arson is suspected, and the home was in foreclosure. :(

Have a great week, everyone. T-minus two and half days to the MPRE! Wish me luck! :)
