this weekend was not as productive as hoped, but it was a weekend nevertheless.
work party shots... things got messy; jill and i at the work part; me, waiting on wine; stone decisions for the necklace; show - the customers, and the ever lovely alex of 'round robin prints and jewelry'; my david's tea 'we're sorry' gift; one of the many gifts produced on my productive sunday. friday: i had the day off (as our year end party for work was Thursday night, and i ALWAYS take the friday off), and slept in a bit. then spent the day with steph - met up at about noon for indian food buffet, for the first time since she moved home. caught up - FINALLY - shared some new developments in the hilarious story that is my life, and
ongoing drama. after meeting a friend to drop off keys, we visited the bead store, for supplies and some stuff to make a work colleague/friend a necklace that she was going to spend WAY too much on at anthropology. we then headed to steph's to have tea, read quotes from sex and the city (and apparently quotes by me that steph recorded when we first became friends: "true love is sweating together"). i then left steph for a short period of time, and headed to etobicoke to meet with helen for dinner. we were supposed to do a full on
charity ball reunion meeting, but as a result of some plans falling through, helen and i were the sole standing survivors. we did thai food, and lots of catch up (think almost 3 hours worth). I then headed back into the city, to a friend's party, which was supposed to be about 4 of us, and turned into an all night chat fest - which, was fantastic. it included conversation on sexuality and group homes - my. kind. of. night. late to bed.
saturday: woke up late, and just lounged around. watched part of
zombieland, before it conked out, and had to settle for
major league (charliesheenthankyouverymuch). then laid down for a nap, and had a real conversation with a friend.... unfortunately, it was a pretty serious, conversation, and meant i didn't have the time i initially wanted to have for prep for the show. ended up going straight to the
show - which was a success! shows often are a ton of work for not a lot of return. since this is the first i've organized myself (i've only ever participated in shows that other people did themselves), i got out of it exactly what i expected... and that, to me, is a success. went home, watched
gossip girl season 4, and made jewelry before bed. then slept.
sunday: woke up, met a friend for lunch at
fresh, and picked up a 'we're sorry our staff was rude to you, but we're willing to do what it takes to win you back' gift from
david's tea. very. impressed. great reaction time from them on twitter. them, spent the rest of the day making gifts, cards, and cleaning *ahem*sortofnotreally*ahem*. went to bed FAR too late, but got a shit ton done.
hope everyone had a great weekend! i'm still sort of reeling, sad, and introspective from the events of the weekend, but hopefully things will work out as they should. a probable blog entry coming soon.
