dinks on parade

Josh and i recently determined we're super square. We're also d.i.n.k.s, which means Dual Income No Kids. Even though we've never had kids, i've only just now had a job that offers what can legitimately be called an income. We're square because we have a house and sensible cars and full time desk-monkey jobs and a boy cat and a girl dog and we go to church on Sundays and watch The Mole on Monday nights (Go Craig!!). To counter this frightening phenomenon in our lives, we've apparently decided we can only stay in town for one weekend at a time, or else fill it with activity. Observe our 2008 summer:

June 7th: HOME

14th: Elk Grove

21th: Acampo

28th: HOME

July 5th: Portland

12th: HOME

19th: camping

26th: HOME- throwing a baby shower

August 2nd: HOME

9th: Walnut Creek

16th: San Francisco

23rd: Acampo

30th: HOME- giant birthday party

September 5th: HOME- faking a wedding (?)

12th: Roseville

19th: Bremerton

26th: HOME

So that's a big 8 out of 17 weekends spent at home. i'm starting to figure out why nothing ever gets done or cleaned at our house. Our poor pets are starting to think my parents have shared custody of them. But you know what? It works, and we can't really think of a good reason to slow down. And someday if we have kids we can show this post to them and say 'Look how carefree and fun mommy and daddy were before you and your crippling, innumerable needs came along.' HA HA! i can't type that with a straight face. Just kidding. We wouldn't say 'crippling.'
