weekend fun

Waking hungover but happy at noon on Sunday after much fun and revelry this weekend (tally since Friday: four house parties, two visits to Cafe Habana, two sightings of K&J, two sightings of Alice, two coffee dates at Amer's with colleagues, one slightly-drunken stroll through the Pinckney Kroger wearing fishnets and a cleavage-bearing black chiffon dress with freakishly long sleeves, one 3am dining adventure at the Fleetwood, one quiet walk in a Metropark, one baking event.)

A lovely lazy Saturday spent soaking up as much vitamin D as possible (oh, blessed sun!) , doing a little GSI work, and acquiring green vegetables (broccoli and spinach, yum!) and gas and strolling through the aisles of clothes, wine and liquor, and fancy, sexy computers at COSTCO. . .

. . . led into an evening of baking adventures and a couple nice house parties. A quiet, intimate group including some wonderful friends, with an outstanding spread of food, and woeful soulful music at Jenay's place . . . a stop-off at Cafe Habana to pick up Alice and some of her law school friends, and then over to Jonathan and Dan's place for one of their characteristically wild parties, peopled with drunken, maudlin boys, snarky and hilarious architects and artists, and lots of GEO folks, with astonishingly good fresh salsa verde thanks to their Mexican roommate. Alice took me out to the Fleetwood afterwards, then we parted ways at about 4 am.

I'm tired and my head hurts, but I feel cleansed from the experience of being with good friends. It had been a long week, with the GEO picketing and all. I never knew what hard work it would be to be out there.

Time now to wander around the house for the afternoon in my super-soft pink bathrobe and slippers and drink lots and lots of coffee. And maybe eat even more bacon. Mmm.
