I didn't do any work on the house this weekend. 

Saturday I spent most of the day at the office.  Sunday I cleaned my studio and went shopping with Kate.  Apparently she won an academic merit accomplishment scholarship from the local college...I was told it's considered quite a big deal but we don't have the details yet.  We shouldn't know anything yet, but the school secretary told her in advance to make sure she attends the honors convocation in June, which is held the week before graduation, because she usually doesn't attend such ceremonies.  She has to wear special...oh, I don't know, cords or a sash or something, and there's going to be a special presentation....like I said, I don't have any details.  I decided she needs a pretty new dress to wear as well.  We found a gorgeous sundress at Macy's today.  I'll post pictures after the ceremony.

I spent the rest of the weekend playing with the cat and reading a travel book...it's now one month until we leave for a week in Paris.  I'm determined to learn at least the basic courtesy phrases in French before we leave.  I realize that everyone in Paris is going to know we're tourists, but I'd rather not come across as some dumb, rude American douche bag.
