Chris put the grill together today in between the little rain storms. The only thing that did come pre-assembled was the company logo bolted to the grill top....

I didn't take a photo earlier today, but my pita partner Lori and I had our last pita lunch for awhile. She's gotten an awesome new job that isn't downtown so it won't be as easy to have our weekly pita. We will try, and we will definitely find new places between her new work and my job downtown to have tasty meet-ups.

Friday night I met an old co-worker Shelly, her friend Tammy, and some of Tammy's friends for dinner and drinks at the Beltline Bar.

It was nice to have lunch and dinner with friends at two tasty restaurants.

The best viewing area in all of the house, apparently, is across the back of the couch facing the street.

We get a lot of squirrels out there...

I'm pretty sure this is the first time in at least 6 months that we've returned bottles. Since I drink almost no pop and Chris drinks it rather infrequently it takes awhile to build up a cache to take back to the store.

As a little kid I used to think it was fun to play with these machines.

Little kids have weird ideas.

I'm really enjoying the nice weather and having a deck. Who doesn't love to read in the sun?

Plus this book is really fantastic (Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss)

Assembled mini-pizzas at my desk for lunch. The convenience is great but the taste...? Lets just say little kid me liked things much sweeter than adult me does.

There are still a gazillion bookshelves in the apartment that need to be moved and with just the one car, we definitely had to rent a truck to get them to the new house.

We managed to fill a 14' truck with just bookshelves on one load and still didn't have them all in there.

We have a lot of bookshelves...
As the afternoon wore on it started to rain. Lucky for us it wasn't too heavy, but it did make some things slippery. A small thunderstorm rolled through but nothing terribly exciting happened, which I suppose it just as well when you're carting awkward bookcases and other things down three flights of stairs.

 My knee doesn't hurt so I decided to give running another try. I decided it might be best to do the Couch to 5K routine, which is one less work day and might be a little easier on me.
In the afternoon we had an appointment to see an awesome movie (The Avengers) with awesome people (The Uniques).

The move was very good and company was excellent. Plus we popped into Sushi Blue (which appears to be an old Taco Bell building) for a tasty after-movie dinner.

All in all an excellent Saturday!

 Today I had my follow up doctor's appointment for my wrists/elbow. Basically it went like this:

Yay for physical therapy & progress and keep doing what they told you to do outside of physical therapy. But stop going to physical therapy and call us if it gets worse.

Ok...


The novelty of sitting out on a deck hasn't worn off yet, not even in the wake of a thunderstorm rolling in.

I'm enjoying being able to sit out on the deck and enjoy the sunshine after work.

Hooray for books and outdoors!

While it might not be the sunniest (or warmest) of days, the weather today is still relatively nice. What better reason do we need to enjoy dinner on the deck?
