Weekend Recap
Well it's Monday and I'm trying to motivate myself to get ready for my crazy work day. Crazy in a good way though. I'm running my second session of my new training class with 7 compassionate interesting people. So few people have a job where they meet only giving lovely poeple. The very nature of running a volunteer program means that my clients are kind and generous and compassionate. I can't complain about that. That's for sure.

So my weekend was a great combination of relaxing and productive. Friday night I enjoyed an inpromptu gelato gathering at my parent's house with my brother, sister-in-law and nephew. Against my belief system, he and I ran around the house hiding and shooting one another with toy guns. He's seven and barely ever wants to play with me anymore. you take it where you can get it, folks. Met a friend at Borders before close and became engrossed in those tragic yet incredible Pst Card coffe table books. It was like a car crash. We finished the night with a 10:10 cheesy romance movie-Catch and Release. Perfectly mindless. And I Loved it.

Saturday I murphy oiled soaped, swept, laid rugs down, chopped and grated fresh vegetables and rolled my very first meatballs. I was glowing with domesticity. Finished the night at Kevin's party in Cambridge with the Gilberts. A few funny awkward moments and appetizer stress but also good conversation and incredible decor. I'm obsessed with decorating my apartment. Plus, a host in drag is my favorite kind of host.

Sunday b-day brunch for my nana's b-day with the whole fam. Delicious and 5 hrs of great family talk. Announcements of my cousin's new baby, Loving that my 81 year old grandmother is making homemade props for her elders theatre group-she is outstanding-and talk of a renting a cousin's beach house this summer....finished the evening with a trip to target (I freakin Love target!)-new trendy spice rack and asian inspired tea set, great bohemian summer dress, and new regina spektor CD-and more work on the new place with my roomie. It finally looks like areal house. A badly decorated house but a house none-the less.

All in all a lovely weekend. No complaints here. Have a great Monday everyone.
