Weekend Update
hmm..this was originally a post about how my application to WSW went out on Satuday, but then my computer freaked out and I lost the whole thing. Instead dun da dun! weekend update.
Um so I finished up everything except for my image list on thursday. Oh and the cd. I burned that Friday night, made Kevins gift voucher (in place of the actual gift certificate) for a canoe trip in the pine barrens. Hung out at home, I feel like we hung out with caitlin and bencze, but I cant remember. Saturday it was up early so we could get ink and paper for the printer, print out my application materials and get it in the mail by the deadline, all before we started on Kevin's Birthday adventure. We were supposed to go to Ihop for breakfast, but the one we were going to (on the way to the real adventure) was ridiculously packed, so he got brunch at the Cheesecake factory instead. (damn that place is ridiculous) Back in the car for another Half hour of driving. I don't know the name of the place we went, bencze picked it out. So we spent the rest of the day Hiking. It was great and I plan on going hiking much more often. We lost the trail (due to poor marking) and spent most of the time trying to pick it back up and following other trails. When we finally found a map at one of the lookout points we saw where the trail was supposed to go and decided to come back and do it again, for real next time.
We left around 5. Made some pit stops on the way home, and made tacos at Caitlin's for dinner. We also tried to rent Rivers and Tides, but neither the blockbuster or hollywood video here have. I was so spoiled by TLA video. So we watched a movie...i fell asleep full of tacos and hiking and such. The next day I slept in, got myself together and headed to Downingtown. I took this Yoga Nidra class, with one of the women who ran the Girls group I was in in High school. Its really cool, no poses, just fifty minutes of guided meditation. Then I went to visit my step dad. He told me all about how he has joined some online dating services, and showed me the profiles of some of the women he's been talking to. No one local but I'm glad he's not sitting around being sad and lonely. He hasn't told my sister, or anyone else in my family for that matter, but I can understand why he is nervous to. It has only been 8 months, but I worry about him being lonely and I would much rather him be out there going on dates than sitting around being sad. I know he will always love my Mom, and it made me feel really good that on his profile he put that he had three kids. I miss him and I plan on going out there again next month for the yoga class, if not sooner, just for a visit. When I got back late on Sunday night I went back to Cailtin's for drinking and ridiculous music making. The next day after BACON we ran some errands had dinner and played yahtzee (how old are we?) till around 10. Came home and went to bed. to get ready for work.
Needless to say tonight with nothing to do...I'm in heaven. Just so long as I dont get neurotic about my application. Keep your fingers crossed
