Thoroughly enjoying this saturday morning. i’m relaxing on the couch in jeans and one of my katie gray striped tshirts, watching cartoons with the boy while j is at her dance class with my mom. knox is over and mark and susie’s, trying to help mark patch their roof.
this has been a successful weekend, so far:
thursday (yes, i count thursday night as weekend, because i don’t have classes on fridays) we went to a fun party/house show at the cool kids’ house. i drank pink lemonade vodka for the first time (which is a thoroughly ridiculous concept, i think, alcohol that tastes like kool-aid). it was sorty tasty, though. those kids are good ones..
yesterday morning i went shopping with Amanda, and there was lots of talking/crying in the car and trying on Target clothes (which looked fabulous) and not buying them (which was tragic). i like having friends who i don’t always have to be happy around.
Then i went on to breakfast at Pete’s with the PG (sans Tommi). they were out of biscuits! PETE’s, without biscuits! but the food was good anyway, though i never tried Anna’s toast and gravy, i thought it looked gross.. After breakfast i walked to my parent’s house from downtown. it was so relaxing to have a few minutes alone. i think when i was single i took time alone for granted.
Then was staff meeting, then cherry cheesecake, and then more shopping, this time with Shaina. And the afternoon was over!
6pm i went to help Natalie set up for Jordan and Luke’s baby shower. The shower started at 7, and we had actual fun. We listened to Avett Brothers, and we didn’t play any games, like having to guess what the baby poop in the diaper was, or having to taste bites of baby food and write the names, or having to write letters to the baby or any of that. We just ate and talked and they opened presents, including some adorable onesies that Will and Emily had made that say “Lincoln” and “Prodigy Child”. i like co-ed showers, they make more sense. and i like having Knox around.
after el baby shower, we went to over our neighbors house for some tasty wine and good company, choosing to forgo the invitation from other cool kid neighbors to play bike polo in a parking garage downtown.. (side note: i keep thinking that i woulda had fun doing that..i’ll have to go next time). we had alot of fun at Katie and Jon’s. Toby and Julianne were there too, and we peeled the letters off of Jay’s shoes and talked about the Filipinos in Jersey City and had a dang good time.
So yes, a busy busy busy weekend so far. sitting on the couch watching cartoons is exactly what i need right now. and tomorrow, we’re going to the mountains!
