great weekend... though things did not go as i had planned.
Saturday: woke up in a TON of pain, and figured something was wrong – went to the drs, and found out I had hairline fractures in my hip and vertebrae. Luckily nothing huge, but since I was also getting sick, it meant taking a few more drugs (pain killers, etc) than I normally would have liked. Then met up with 3 of my lovely man friends to head to our annual university friend holiday party – postponed from December. We finally got to meet my lovely friend’s son and spend some time with them… then, when they took off, we watched football – both the incredibly exciting saints/49ers game and then my pride and joy, the new england/broncos game (and a beautiful win by my pats), ate chili, and then danced the night away to music from our university years. It was a great night… as it always is. Went to bed not as late as I expected we would, which was good, as I felt like my cold was getting worse.
Sunday: woke up to the sounds of breakfast being prepared, and felt awful (cold-wise – not hungover). Ate breakfast with my extended university family, and then after goodbyes, we headed out. Dropped the boys off, and went home and slept. For a long time. Unfortunately, as a result, missed the ravens/texans game. then headed up to my landlords place to watch the remainder of the giants/green bay game (poor aaron Rodgers), and eat tomato soup from a can (best sick guarantee). Chatted for a bit, watched some modern family, and then headed downstairs and to bed.
Unfortunately, the massive amounts of sleep didn’t help, and I spent Monday off work. Sleeping, eating soup, and sleeping more.
brady – ready to go; our grocery shop – really important food groups, and the super looper game; meeting our first university nephew for the first time – the boys; our little nugget; speaking with our long distance love all the way from Norway; our game faces; the blowout; the boys who helped me through university - J3; little sleepy heads; dance party! (ish); our new game - marbleshooting at a bunch of spots for the marbles to land in (the name leaves a bit to be desired, but 'super loopers' wasn't working for us) ; cheers - to us. to longevity in friendship, to costain for coming so far, to cait and matty and their little nugget, and to everyone for doing the holiday party year after year after year, and continuously making it a priority.
Friday: after a LONG day at work, I met a few colleagues for drinks at the rex. Just a few drinks to balance the day of crazy. Then, I headed home, grabbed a few things, and went out to my friend Erin’s place for dinner. We grabbed a few groceries, and then made mini gnocchi with wine sauce and veggies – to. die. for. Had some wine, chatted lots, and ate more. Erin’s friend Nicole joined us a bit later – all of us fully equipped in sweats – and we had a good old fashioned girls night. Filled with dancing (on couches – not at bars – to my ‘hardcore’ playlist… ha!), wine, and chatting. Ended up home late late late, and had a major spill on ice. Figured I was hurt, but went to bed after being helped home by a cab driver.

I hope everyone had a GREAT weekend – filled with as much football and friends as me, but much less sickness, and injury. and now. to enjoy the playlist that erin and nicole and i did on friday.
