I was very home bound this weekend. Friday, at work, I got really sick and just wanted to go home and go to bed, my a friend of mine had tickets to see
Victor Wooten and the Soul Circus. He is apparently one of the world's leading bass guitar players and I found out why. I was stunned by his skill and was very glad that my friend dragged me along. Besides, it was at the
House of Blues, which is awesome, and I hadn't yet been there.
Saturday, I slept a lot because despite the night before, my stomach was still not well and I felt a little feverish. But the sleeping helped and I drank a lot of water. Some friends came over in the evening and we had a nice time watching SNL and my stomach was feeling well enough to eat pizza! yaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
Today was also a very relaxed day....a lot of silly Sunday shows like ANTM to be watched and some reading to be done. I do have to say that I think I may throw up on myself if I have to endure anymore Kay jewelry commercials. I'm serious, I feel like throwing something at the tv. The sappiness is too much. I love gold, silver, jewels, beads, etc etc...I love jewelry, but if anyone was that cheesy about giving it to me, I may laugh at them...and then I'll NEVER get married!!
I also love how everything becomes right in the relationship if you give a woman an ugly gold bracelet. What? You've been sleeping with your secretary? OH, a tacky gold bracelet! I love you!" Or that Jarrod's commercial where all the women at the party received Jarrod's jewelry from their husbands but one, and now she is pissed at him for not going to Jarrod's. Those commercials make me hate those jewelry stores with a passion. And it's hard for me to hate any store that has so many shiny things! I love the holidays, but I HATE those cheesy commercials.
On a less violent note, West Wing was wonderful tonight. I was in tears at the end. In fact, I am often in tears during a West Wing episode. Phil says I get emotion over the democratic process and sometimes I do, but I just really liked Santos's speech tonight. (Sigh) If only we had leaders who inspired us....instead we have liars and dimwits. Bravo America, bravo.
Okay, I'm off to bed so that I can face another wonderful day at Collucala (code for my place of work, most people know what it means).....Night all.
