Never before has a weekend off been more relished. That is, when I got over my inital guilt and anxiety and got stinkin’ drunk.  Ok, I wasn’t that drunk, but I’ve had such a great weekend.  Yesterday morning, we went out for lunch, walked around UTC a little, then we went to see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.  Then, I came home and, admittedly, did a teeny tiny weensy bit of work, but I swear it wasn’t more than like 30 minutes.  Then, I took a nap.  A nap!  It was glorious.

Mike came over again later and we walked down to Buster Daly’s for the Velvet Tongue show.  Lyn was there, too, looking fabulous, of course.  Ali was such a rock star last night. I called her Allison, Bass Warrior because she was so like, tough-looking while she played. It was cute. But the set was awesome.  I drank a few Absolut Mandarin and tonics… ok, maybe more than a few.  But they were in those tiny little glasses!  And they were so fruity and delicious… but that bartender showed no mercy.  I shall now and forever call him Heavy-Pour Pete.  Fortunately, we walked to the bar.  Mind you, this wasn’t anything close to high-heeled-horse-bruise drunk.  Nothing can come close to that, really.  This was your normal “I had a some drinks, lets walk to the store and get Bagel Bites of which I will eat one and fall asleep” kind of drunk.

This morning was spent lolling around in bed. I slept till 10am.  TEN!  That’s just unheard of for me.  It was hoobity central and then off to enjoy some errands and breakfast and general running around. I’m drawing up a contract I need for tomorrow morning, but after that, it’s nap time and bad Lifetime movies all afternoon for this girl.

I’d forgotten how wonderful a weekend can be and how refreshed I feel. I’m really ready to kick ass and take names this week, figuratively speaking, of course.

a few things that made me happy this weekend:

- getting to hear Velvet Tongue play

- seeing Lyn

- getting to talk to this chick on im for a while

- spending much-needed time with him

- right now

I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend.  Enjoy a lazy Sunday—it’s on me.
