ah, weekends ^_^
gah! so much stuff!
Friday - sucked ass. an overturned tanker shut down the MassPike and shunted all traffic onto smaller, slower, roundabout routes. including me, on a bus, going back to CT for a toofs appointment. it took 2 hours to get from boston to worcester, at which point i was never, ever going to make it to the dentist. cancelled, rescheduled and sat in the worcester bus station for 2 hours to go back to boston. it sucked, but kait got me some books on rockclimbing, so i got to sit and read those and doodle a little bit. she also kept me company on the phone. the bus ride back was a whole lot quicker, and i loaned my phone to some folks who didn't have one to coordinate rides. it was a day much in need of good karma. oh yeah, and kodekitten called and we chatted lots and lots. it was good. you crazy lady, you ;)
got back into boston and met up with the kait for tapas and a whole lot of sangria. the bartender and hostess remembered us, which kinda made me sad because i looked like i'd been dragged behind the bus instead of riding on it. i was wearing my extra-strength sadpants. but! dinner was delicious and fantastic as always, and there was much snuggling afterwards. and it was good.
saturday - lotsa running around and errands with the kait. walked to harvard sq because the bus was sucking, picked up kait's car (the sassy little thing) and picked up the bike! (she's sitting next to me in my office right now *pets*) we were going to go to a fair in wincester, but time got short, we were tired and the weather was being spastic. we ate dinner and then went dancing (!) and shook our respective things like crazy. we got propositioned by the owner to work a booth for Pride this summer, and then she gave us drink tickets. there was more booty-shaking and ogling of the hired dancers then we called it a night.
Sundaaaaaay - was oh-so productive! breffast shopping then cleaning my kitchen like it had never been cleaned before. man, did it need it. it's like a whole new apartment with a clean kitchen and reorganized fridge! kait did the the fridge and my shelves in the pantry *pets the kait* AND helped me go through my clothes for stuff to toss/donate.* i find doing stuff like that with someone else there is really helpful. i found out that i have more black tank tops than god herself and a whole lotta workout clothes for someone who doesn't work out very often. we didn't get to the closet *shudder* because it was getting late.
i made us sliced zucchini cooked with garlic, olive oil and lemon juice; thin-sliced steaks (slightly overcooked. oops!) and rice. it was declared Delicious. for dessert we had blackberries and strawberries in light cream. unf.
the sad part was kait's allergies trying to kill her for most of the weekend. she and cats don't get along that well. other kinds of kitty...well, yeah. tee!
man, i need a day off to recover from all that ridiculous productivity. or a bike ride. and more coffee.
* a little known fact: cleaning acts as an aphrodisiac. now you know! ;D
