Splendid weekend
I have had a lovely weekend, jam-packed with fun, friends, and sunshine! I got to hang out with Susan two times this week. We went to V-Spot to celebrate my graduation!
On Saturday morning, I baked a bundt cake, and I went to Aly's apartment. Aly was hosting Amy's birthday party. The theme was "Wigs n' Staches!" Surprisingly, I'd left ALL of my wigs in NJ. (This is a real bummer because I have a lot of wigs!) BUT, my lovely roomie, Alexandra saved the day by loaning me a lovely PINK wig. Amy herself provided the stick-on mustaches. We only wore the 'staches briefly because they didn't stick on that well. Still, they made for some interesting photos. :) Then, we all MADE and DECORATED kites! My kite was a squid. It had streamers hanging off it to resemble tentacles.
We voyaged to Prospect Park (in our wigs, not our 'staches) and attempted to fly our kites. We did not have much success with the flying part. I am thinking there must have been a small design flaw with the kites. We made many new friends who came and tried to help us fly our kites! it was very fun!
After a long time spent in Prospect Park (it was soooo gorgeous out!), we returned to Aly's for bundt cake. We also played "Catch Phrase," which was very very fun! Amy opened her presents and she gave us all baby spider plants as party favors (so cute). All in all it was a fantastic and fun day! I really want to attempt kite making again!
On Sunday I hung out with Susan once more. We went on a nice walk and saw a different Farmers' Market than I am used to going to. They also had an Indie Craft Mart there. Very nice! It was another beautiful day. Hooray!
The rest of the day included me pretending to clean stuff. Later, Alexandra and I watched the first episode of Star Trek (the original series). Since seeing the new movie, Doris and I have decided to watch the original episodes in order. Alexandra (already a Trekkie) has joined us in our plan. We like Trek!
