Weekend Update

Dear Friends and Family,

Ahh... A glimpse at what life can be like. Mr. mouse and I had a great weekend - nothing special, blissfully normal.

We slept in Saturday. Then, spent all day cleaning the house from top to bottom. I love a clean house. Mr. mouse also weeded, mowed and watered the lawn. The weather was perfect this weekend - warm, dry and sunny.

Sunday, we slept in again, read the paper, and ran a ton of errands. We dropped off a pair of pants to be tailored. We picked up the latest copy of Norton Anti-Virus. Fortunately for us, Best Buy had a slew of mail-in rebates. Theoretically it'll be free once we complete all of the paperwork.

We baby-sat our neighbor for a couple of hours, but it's not really baby-sitting, it's more like just hanging out together. We made dinner together (pasta, sausage and salad) and watched
Lady and the Tramp.

Sunday night, our financial planner came over to review the quarterly numbers. The good news is we've had great returns on our investments. Yeah! He also outlined what we should attempt to save this year for our retirement. It all still looks reasonable. It finally feels like we're making progress.


Cheers!
mouse
