I&#8217;ve just been super busy lately. My parents and one of my younger sisters visited over Labor Day weekend, and while I adore them, entertaining them was exhausting. My parents in particular always claim they&#8217;re easy going and don&#8217;t need to be entertained, but they also can&#8217;t sit still in one place for very long without getting antsy and feeling unproductive. As a result, T and I spent much of the weekend driving them around greater LA, on one of the hottest weekends of the year, as they went on a quest to help us furnish our new condo (which, admittedly was a very sweet quest). Poor T had to deal with four back seat drivers as opposed to his usual one (me) &#8211; everyone in my family hates to drive, but unforunately we all have opinions on how it should be done!<\/p>\n<p>Since the Great Labor Day Quest resulted in, among other things, the successful purchase of a grill, we decided to host an impromptu BBQ on Labor Day. I think it turned out really well, thanks to our wonderful friends who brought over their Nintendo Wii&#8217;s, drinks, sides, and, of course, their wonderful selves! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend was the first weekend we had to just sit around and relax in ages. So of course it was the first weekend I had to work since coming to my new firm. Nevertheless, we squeezed in a quick run to Ikea to buy this shelf I&#8217;ve been wanting:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/sweetpea\/wp-admin\/upload.php?style=inline&amp;tab=browse&amp;action=view&amp;ID=533&amp;post_id=-1189627753&amp;paged\" id=\"file-link-533\" title=\"31260_pe120476_s4.jpg\" class=\"file-link image\">  \t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/sweetpea\/wp-admin\/upload.php?style=inline&amp;tab=browse&amp;action=view&amp;ID=533&amp;post_id=-1189627753&amp;paged\" id=\"file-link-533\" title=\"31260_pe120476_s4.jpg\" class=\"file-link image\">\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.law.harvard.edu\/sweetpea\/files\/2007\/09\/31260_pe120476_s4.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"31260_pe120476_s4.jpg\" height=\"203\" width=\"203\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We somehow miraculously managed to get it back to our place in my little Honda Civic and T surprised me by assembling it while I was at work! It looks great up in our den and I can&#8217;t wait to get the rest of the pieces we need for the room. . . and get rid of some old pieces. We&#8217;re also planning to pick up T&#8217;s grandmother&#8217;s dining room table set, which is currently in storage in Portland. And I&#8217;d really like to paint some accent walls eventually. In the meantime, I have a friend visiting from out of town this weekend and we&#8217;re hoping to scout out some possible wedding locations next weekend. Stay tuned for more exciting updates of the days of my life. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know, I know, it&#8217;s been too long since the last post.
