weekends

weekends are no longer kick-back/have fun time for me due to work, but i usually still go out and have a little down time.

friday i went with matt after work to nikki and nantais' place where bridgett and ken joined us. the boys played with nantais' new tv, while nikki made us fruity drinks and we put together nick's birthday jacket for saturday. after it was bleached, gemmed, and de-sleeved, it came out pretty fantastic. and surprisingly no one was injured by the combination of alcohol + iron-ons and hot glue.

nikki found some videos of a past new years' party and her wedding. i got to see matt drunkenly embarrass himself and then we watched a bit of the nantais' wedding ceremony. the girl had jones soda on all the tables...how much cooler can you get?

i ended up having a great time as usual. those girls rock!

after work last night, matt and i went to the red ox tavern in rochester for christy's birthday party. it was nice to hang out with her and amy again, since i hadn't seen them both since we went to mainstreet and i left my license there. carla coons attended, which was crazy 'cause i hadn't seen her since graduation. she seems to be doing well and we caught up. it seems like everyone from high school keeps in contact with a few people. it's nice to get the scoop on the ones you haven't heard about in a while.

i'm dreading work tonight. i just don't feel up to it. hopefully it'll pass by fast enough. i would much rather just spend the evening with matt curled up on the couch watching a movie or him play video games and snuggling. we never have days where we both don't work, so there's always that looming work dread hanging over me. i don't even do anything (which is worse than most would imagine) but it's just the fact that i'm required to do something that night that puts everything off. i need to find another normal work schedule job where i get weekends off. i miss that.

i ended up finding the book i thought i lost where everything else i think i lost turns up...my little sister's room. that was actually the last place i looked because ashley is as much a reader as i am a mathematician, but it turned up that she had taken it to honduras with her on the plane and forgot to unpack it. i love her to death, but my stuff always seems to disappear in there; deodorant, jewellery, cds, dvds...never to be found again. so now i'm reading neverwhere by gaiman, which has a much more horror-y feel than any of the other fantasy novels i've read before. i have a feeling matt would really like it, but i won't suggest another book to him until he finishes the harry potter series, which is not coming along very fast since i tend to monopolize most of his down time. i also picked up wuthering heights like i had planned, but that also has a very ghost-y feel as well and i guess i'm just not feeling that so much at the moment. i'm sure i'll get through them though since boredom is not sustainable on just suduko.

other than work though, life has been pretty enjoyable. :)
