It was a good weekend. After a delicious home-cooked brunch of bacon, grits, cheesy eggs, and coffee, Sharif and I went to LL Bean on Saturday. After negotiating the
Not much happened for me while Sharif was at work that evening, but that night! He downloaded for me a demo copy of the Spore Creature Creator! This is basically a tiny sample of the game, but we have already had much fun with it. So exciting!
Yesterday was social day. Rohini and Will's official Indian engagement party was first. I got to wear my green-with-white-polkadots dress with my pearls, which always makes me happy. And then we got to see Ro in her gold sari and Will in his I-don't-know-the-name-of-that-garment, and they both looked great. There were some speeches and some songs, and the couple were given gifts and draped with flowers. We ate a lot of tasty food and got to see Ro's sari for the reception in its special box, as well as an example of the saris that the bridesmaids will be wearing.
It was all pretty neat, but it was also Father's Day, so we only stayed at the party for a couple of hours. We made our way back to the parents' house, where there was golf on the TV, some Wii gaming, beers, and spaghetti & meatballs as made by Erica. I think that dad found it all acceptable.
So happy engagement (again) to Rohini and Will, happy Father's Day to dads, and happy Monday to the rest of us fools.
