Extreme

 This weekend was busier than the norm. On Friday Scott and I enjoyed a rare night out without the kiddos. (It is nice having a resident teen available to babysit.) Scott is an avid fan of the band Extreme. He saw them in concert in the early 90s and has been dreaming of attending another show. After more than 30 years, the stars aligned and the band performed near us in West Virginia. To say that he was excited would be an understatement!

We left for the show early with the hopes of enjoying dinner and some people watching at the casino before the band took the stage. As soon as we walked into the casino we were overwhelmed with loud rock music. Scott's face lit up in recognition. Apparently we had managed to park and walk into a side door adjacent to the stage. Through an unattended open door, Scott was able to watch the sound check of his favorite band. We were able to listen for about 20 minutes before we were noticed and the door was dutifully shut in our faces. 

Although I am not a hugely familiar with all of the songs, I thoroughly enjoyed the show. The band put on an excellent performance. Scott was on his feet, dancing and singing for the entire two hours. He had an absolute blast! 

After a late night drive home we woke early on Saturday and headed to a local community craft fair. We were busy throughout the four hour show.  It was nice to be able to check out how some of the newer designs would be received. The next few weekends are busy with FlexyFriends sales events so it is night to have some insights into preferences so we can print accordingly.

Yesterday I spent the day cleaning and organizing the house. I managed to purge four contractor trash bags of garbage and 5 boxes for donation. Perhaps even more beneficial, my house no longer feels as cluttered and I feel like I have some breathing room. Today we are ordering the dumpster which will help us get rid of the big items that have been accumulating in corners. When that clutter is cleared, I think the house will feel so much lighter!

Today we are back to the grind. Have a great day!
