Weekend made of AWESOME, day made of half fail

So for once, I had a busy fun filled weekend, these things are rare...It's like finding something to do at 4 in the morning in Sacramento. It occurs....but rarely without cost. lol. But this weekend was made of win.

Thursday (I know, not technically a weekend, but hush!) was Cal's birthday dinner at my place. I made chicken kiev the easy way. Was oh so good. Had flourless chocolate cake & cream puffs for dessert. With said dessert we watched The Ugly Truth, which I thoroughly enjoyed, regardless of the awkwardness of watching it with the parents. That is definitely not a see with the folks type movie (at least my folks) granted they did seem to enjoy it & my mother has been surprising me on tastes lately, some of which I could have done without. Cal got prezzies, which is always an awesome thing & I got snuggles!!!! What? >.> I like them....

Friday was the much anticipated Swing Dance lessons at Midtown Stomp. Cal & I are in a different class than the drop in class, which I hadn't realized when I paid for the month. We're doing Lindy Hop, speaking of which I need to practice tonight, Step, Step, Triple Step....Must remember that...Anyways. Our teachers are hilarious, nice, & awesome. No, seriously. Especially Kelly (yes...she has the same name as me, this does not impact my view of awesomeness >.>) she started class out by saying she cursed a lot & later complained she was pale but was more afraid of McCloud's ass. They were knowledgeable which was nice as well. Even the bathrooms were swanky! The women's had a little table with a tablecloth! and chairs in addition to a mirror. That was in a separate room from the actual stalls, which was nice. We only stayed for the class because Chris & John decided the ratio of women to men wasn't up to par. They promise next week to participate, which I certainly hope is true, because I want to actually go upstairs & dance outside of class. Besides my love of swing, I did want to do it for the workout. The first class wasn't major, but I did acquire a fine sheen & clumsy feet (I start with the RIGHT, I will get this.....). But towards the end, when I unwound a bit, it was tons of fun. Perhaps this week I'll even trade partners, but I am a bit nervous to. I can feel like an idiot with Cal, but it's harder with others, which I know, means I should do it just to push my bounds regardless but it's hard, okay? Sheesh.....Afterwords we went to Great Escapes to buy....nothing! Well that's not true, Chris bought a starter deck for L5R from the new set. We headed to Chris' after that to unwind, though Cal & I were still Step, Step, Triple Stepping it occasionally. It is actually amazingly fun, like...grown up skipping. When Cal & I finally dragged our tired butts back to my place it was closing in on midnight, we watched 2 episodes of Castle (I am now caught up! Ha ha!) & then tumbled sleepily into bed.

Saturday we went to see Rent, with the original Mark & Roger (same as the ones in the movie). That was awesome! The theater wasn't even half full I don't think. Was very surprising. I enjoyed it quite a bit. But, I doubt I would go see it again. I don't tend to like depressing things much. I enjoy them...and then don't watch them again. To me life is depressing enough, tyvm. Got Chinese food for dinner (om nom nom.....deliciousness incarnate is Full Moon Palace) after dinner (& dishes) we went to Cal's place since the poor guy works on Sundays, even worse since it was Super Bowl Sunday!

Sunday, I luxuriously spent in bed. I played WoW & slept. Was GLORIOUS, I really do like the new WoW dungeon finder, though that day was the first day I found elitist rude people who booted me for being an incapable player. Grumble.... After quick showers we headed for the after party at Chris's Mmmmm, bar-b-que & Harry Potter Clue, what more could a girl ask for? No...seriously...what better thing is there then HP Clue? It's AWESOME! But...for some reason, topics that were bandied around got my brain in a strange place & I left in a not so great mood, that sorta lasted into today.

So...Monday.....when everyone else has the day off Cal had school & work. We hit school, & I got a message from house complaining about me not being home. I couldn't do anything about it at the time, so I called, informed, & got yelled at more. Ignored best I could. On the way out, got another message, didn't respond this time & decided to hit Metropolis Comix. I love that he remembers what you buy & your taste. I just went, Hi...gonna bug you, Planetary & Grimm haven't come out yet, I need new comics. I came home with 3 new ones to try. Woo hoo! Perhaps it was 4..either way. Did some errands & headed home to endless chores till I got to sit down closer to 7. After that I discovered 4 things. 1) Fyrinnae order came in. Woo hoo!!!!!!!! 2) My Advanced Photoshop came in 3) I was informed by the lovely, awesome, amazing Samantha that "Gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe" me regarding my model & not so model photos, I convinced her to come play with me this summer! Wheee!!! 4) Same Samantha poured adoration over the care package I sent her (chocolate & handmade wrist warmers do have that effect on people) So...middle part of the day sucked horribly & I was frustrated & miserable, but it got better.
