so it's time for the weekend update. not with tina fey and the blonde chick who replaced jimmy fallon, but the post that i generally write every monday regailing all of you with the events of my weekend. this weekend was more worthy than most of such a post. so here goes.
i'll skip over friday since the most important part of it was my blind date which i don't care to regail you with. i promise you're not missing much. long story short. p.f. cheng's. a whole lot of talk about nothing in general. a lot of people harrassing me about it afterwards. but the redeeming part of the evening took place when my roommates and i watched 'The Family Stone' which was nothing short of fabulous but kept me awake til 1 a.m.
saturday morning i did the unthinkable and woke up at 5:30 a.m. this is a sin in all 50 states but i did it anyway. all for the sake of the sunday school garage sale. laura & i braved the early hours together. we ate entirely too much cinnamon toast and one too many apple turnovers. we sold $300 worth of absolute junk, but not to worry, we bought a few momentos for ourselves. laura blessed me with decor for my new room. two wolf paintings, a wolf picture, and a wolf throw. her next project is to make some dreamcatchers to hang. there are lots of pictures of this experience, including laura & jeff's conversation with a spunky old lady who came by. these will be on my facebook for all you facebook junkies.
after the sale, we made our way to the women's brunch where i won a fabulously stylish breast cancer awareness bracelet and laura won a post-it pad which we will eventually use for our lengthy grocery lists. while at the brunch, we again stuffed ourselves full of food - much to the disdain of our stomachs. laura & i then returned to her house where angel, the landscape artist, was finishing up on laura's lawn (complete with chainsaw). we took yet another picture to commemorate the event and then took a random shopping trip with the miller sisters. i then proceded to crash into a coma-like state due to my lack of sleep.
i awoke in time to go to game night at the ostendorff's (which might not be spelled correctly but is at least phonetically correct - i used to think it was osterhoff's) where i learned to play Settlers of Catan which is incredibly fun but i'm not so good at. a good time was had by all.
sunday included church, a much-needed load of laundry, another nap, and a 3 hour and 18 minute road trip to Bentonville to see laura's friend sarah in a choir/orchestra concert. i was most pleasantly surprised at the concert. i loved every minute i heard of it. and i could have heard more if not for the fact that we were 40 minutes late. but i have cd's to make up for the lost time. we listened to those on the way home. much night-drunkness ensued. we rocked out to some choral music and then threw in some old school point of grace, steven curtis chapman, dc talk, and aerosmith for good measure. laura took many pictures as evidence. they will also be on facebook.
i hope that your weekend was equally full of fun and frolicking.
