Had a great extended weekend which began Thursday afternoon meeting ADINVA for a couple of drinks in DC. Had a great time getting to know her and hope we can get together again sooner rather than later.

Friday I had new windows put in my entire house. Wow what a huge difference it has made in the exterior appeal and the reduction of noise inside. Not to mention the soon to come reduced utility bills! smile

Saturday headed over to Annapolis to spend the evening and night with good friends. Went to an authentic German restaurant and then finished the evening drinking some fine scotch out on their new patio.

Sunday's weather here in DC was absolutely to die for! It was a beautiful sunny 82 degree day. I took advantage of it doing some yard work and of course calling my wonderful mother to wish her a happy Mother's Day.

After a great walk through my neighborhood I spent the evening sitting outside appreciating how nice it was to have a fairly stress free life - at least in regards to not dealing with the ex anymore on a daily basis. I've been on my own now for almost 5 years and each year I get a bit more of my "happy" back!

Happy belated Mother's Day to all of you Mom's on the board here. I hope you all had a great weekend too!
