Weekend Highlights/Lowlights

Highlights:

Got to see GF 5 nights in a row. This does not usually happen, on account of he moved to SLC and I'm in L**** smelling the cows.

Stayed in this lovely place Thursday night with GF's family. There was a hot tub on the balcony.

Because GF works graveyard shifts (as a very busy and important TV news producer, mind you), he left Thursday night and went to work. I spent Friday hanging out with his lovely mother and sisters. We went to IKEA, Target, and Nielsen's Frozen Custard. So, you know, pretty much my perfect day.

Registered for gifts at Target and Bed Bath & Beyond. Am now feeling all kinds of greedy & salivatory at the thought of finally, finally having nice kitchen stuff. Because if you've ever had roommates you'll agree that there's just no point buying good pans when the Evolutionary Throwback known as Your Roommate's Boyfriend will just take a machete to them one night while "helping" in the kitchen.

Went to a baseball game Monday night. I must say that I enjoy movies about baseball more than sitting through actual 12-hour-long games. But I have a cultural and social appreciation of it as America's Pasttime, and it was a very nice way to spend a summer evening. Especially since GF was there. It would have been more boring without him and our ongoing discussion about whether he is allowed to smash cake in my face at the reception. (Answer: He is not.)

Lowlights:

The friend who was doing my wedding flowers just got an interview for grad school in England right during the wedding. England, why must you be this way to me?

One of my roommates got married on Saturday, so all their family was in town. It was her new teenaged b-in-law who was playing around on her scooter on Thursday in the driveway, lost control on the grass, and drove straight into the side of my car. While I was sitting in it.

Was informed by GF's sweet, sweet nephew (who was lying in my lap and gazing up at me adoringly) that I have a beard.
