I know I’ve been kind of MIA lately.

And I’m sorry for that.

But I have an excuse.  See, first there were 2 days of painting.

Then a day of cleaning and grocery shopping.

So basically, it was 3 days of a domestiphobe’s worst nightmare.

And now?

Now we have a house guest.  And contrary to how most people feel about house guests, I feel like I can finally relax.

Want to know what a leisurely Friday morning looks like to a couple of bloggers?

Yeah.  It’s not too shabby.

Matthew (from Inside the Nice Guy) is here for Justin’s college graduation this weekend.  So we knew each other way before our blogging days.  In fact, I met them both on the same day – exactly 8 years ago on May 20th.

Today will be relaxing.  Filled with eating, dog walking (when it’s not raining), movie watching (the boys are seeing Thor while I sit blissfully through some brainless chick flick), more eating, and occasional drinking (coffee and orange juice included).

Saturday is graduation day.  Friends are coming to celebrate with us, and it should be another excellent day filled with wonderful food and even wonderfuller (yes that’s a word according to me) people.

Then on Sunday, we’re meeting up with another blogging friend, Catherine, from Simply Solo, at her family’s infamous lake house.  We’ve never met in person, but if she’s half as cool as she seems on her blog and Facebook, we’re in for a good time.

I’d love to write more, but when you bring two self-proclaimed geeks (who also happen to be lifelong friends) together in the same kitchen, it gets hard to type over the constant buzz of laptop movie trailers and George Lucas analyses.

But you won’t find me complaining.  Right now I’m surrounded by close friends, delicious food, and excellent coffee.

It’s pretty much the way life should be.
