Weekend

[ Posted by Rebecca Sun, 02 Dec 2007 23:09:19 GMT ]

This weekend was the first of many where I felt genuinely relaxed. I think it’s partly because I’ve straight up decided to not care about so many things to such a great degree.

Friday I turned in my paper - I’ve only got one week of class left and one paper left to turn in this semester, and by am I ever glad.

So with the diminishing stress came the desire to get out of the house and clear some of the cobwebs from my brain.

Friday night Dominic and I went out with some friends to Fado, which is quickly becoming my favorite pub because of the laid back atmosphere, the good food, and the awesome heaters they have outside on the porch. Friday night there was a U2 cover band playing, and they even dressed like U2…it was quite fun.

After a double Jameson 12 year Old neat ( I didn’t like the black and tan I previously ordered) I was tired and ready for bed… I’m not used to hitting bars until 1:00 AM.

Saturday morning I had a hair appointment, and after I finished with that, I did little shopping, and a lot of napping due to a sinus headache.

Saturday evening I went to Heather’s ugly Christmas sweater + Texas snowball fight party - it was a great party, but it tuckered me out.

Today I was off to church, then lunch, and then the dreaded trip to the mall to shop for jeans. Becky went with me for emotional support and it was greatly appreciated.

Now I’m going to put up all my clean laundry that somehow managed to get done in the midst of my naps yesterday, and after that, I’m hitting the paper that’s due on Friday. I’d like to have it done early so I can do something fun this Thursday. We’ll see if that happens.

Anyway, I’m relaxed - more relaxed than I’ve been in a long time. I wonder what it would be like to feel this way all the time….

Day Five: Halloween Recap

[ Posted by Rebecca Mon, 05 Nov 2007 14:17:15 GMT ]

I know most people have forgotten about Halloween by now, but I’m going to post about it anyway, now that I have pictures to post.

My friend Marci and her husband threw a fantastic costume party the Friday evening before Halloween. The hosts had excellent costumes. Do you recognize them?

A few flappers came to the party

as did a samurai.

There was a game of cat-and-mouse,

and Cruella sported her dead dogs.

Jareth, the Goblin King (a.k.a. David Bowie in scary makeup and spandex) even showed up. He had a crotch that squeaked when squeezed, and ended up winning best costume.

Others where there, but I have no pictures to prove it. They included Chuck Norris,Professor Plum and the Candlestick, The Sun, a Christmas Tree, Bellatrix Lestrange, Jay Gatsby, Jack the Ripper, a zombie and a gargoyle.

It was definitely the best Halloween party I’ve been to, with lots of great food, great music, great people, good alcohol, and fantastic costumes. I can’t wait for next year!
