I haven’t had a 3 day weekend in quite some time. I used to have them every other week, which was nice. Now I get a normal weekend every week, which is a bit less flashy, but it is sure nice to get every weekend off. This holiday weekend, however, was a change back to the old days when I could sit on my ass one extra day and do nothing.
First and foremost, I watched a fair amount of DVD’s. I went through my alotted 3 discs from Netflix. I will be writing a review shortly on vagueidea for those DVD’s. In short, Wes Anderson makes some good movies, Robin Williams should play more dramatic roles, and you can’t touch 24.
Saturday was a day of sleeping in, taking Joni to the vet to have a wound examined (she tried to jump a fence, is what we’re thinking), and chilling around the house. I missed a message left by the Pookie about a BBQ that night, which had me bummed, but then I was dead tired anyhow, so I guess everything turned out okay.
Sunday was Milca’s brother’s birthday. While Milca and her mom made canelones, I went to give my mom a ride to work as a favor for my brother Corey so he could use her car for the day. I brought my other brother Charles along, and brought him back home. From there we moved a buttload of roofing tiles in Milca’s jeep up to the house, and out on to the patio. Thank god it was overcast, otherwise I would have sweat bullets. Milca’s aunt and uncles came over to the house for the birthday dinner, but the birthday boy had partied too hard the night before, and was vomiting at home, unable to get in a car. That crazy guy… At any rate, dinner was good, good times were had, and Charles spent the night. We had some good times.
Yesterday I was made to be everyone’s chauffeur, as Charles needed a ride home then to band practice, and my mom needed to be picked up for work so Corey could continue to use her car. If you are counting, that’s 2 he owes me. I then went to the gym for yoga only to find that all classes were cancelled for the holiday. While I was bummed that there was no yoga, I did work out and got some good leg presses in. FEEL THAT BURN!!
Went home, had yummy veggies and rice for dinner, then went to bed. All in all, a relaxing and fun filled weekend. I wish I had more time off, but then don’t we all?
Poop.
