That's a pretty good Saturday if you ask me!

We started our weekend off with the new hotness of the farmer’s market.  Our farmer’s market routine has become this:  get coffee from java j’s, wander down to the market, get a couple $1 still warm fritters (D seems to prefer apple while I love the peach) and then wander the market searching for food to cook over the weekend.  Usually we end up with a couple of steaks, some corn, potatoes, some red velvet cake, sometimes some salsa and if it’s a good morning we’ll top it off with some chocolate milk on the walk back home.  Once we made it home D suggested he and Peaches have some quality time while I go on a little run.  So off I went.

When I returned D was getting anxious for lunch so we went downstairs to Machiavelli’s for some Italian nacho’s and beer.  When we finished we took a nice stroll down State Street.  We wandered in and out of a few stores but by far had the most fun in Inari.  For those of you that don’t know – it’s our little downtown wine, cheese, beer, spice, gift store.  It is awesome.  I *think* we walked out with four bottles of wine, one six-pack of beer and a new foil cutter.  And that’s a pretty good stroll if you ask me!

We even went back to Inari later that evening for their weekly wine tasting.  They had several Italian wines that we tried.  Unfortunately, we’d already made our purchases for the day and headed home to our steaks and previously purchased wine!

Wednesday evening I worked out with Felicia and came home while Doug studied for his PMP Certification exam.  He was scheduled to take the exam on Thursday morning.  He spent last week in Atlanta taking a, from what I heard, very intense course about the exam. From what Doug’s told me this certification is huge. 

PMP stands for Project Management Professional.  The application process and basic requirements to even enroll in the course and exam were very strenuous.   According to Wikipedia: “As of 31 July 2010, there were 393,413 active PMP certified individuals worldwide.” ß is pretty freaking huge!  So needless to say Doug was pretty stressed.

Doug finally made it home and we headed to Machiavelli’s for drinks and dinner.
