a Sex in the City weekend :)

So, I know you have all been anxiously waiting to find out all about my weekend. Just kidding. Anyway, here it goes. Well, it all started Friday around 5:20 or so. I was totally pooped from the long week, so my plan was to go home after work and take a nap before heading out for Friday night fun. Well, that didn't work so well, so I called Will to see what he was up to and we decided to drop everything and head to the Velvet Hookah. I drove over to Will's place and we both suddenly realized were were still very tired, so we hung out at his place trying to figure out what to do. Soon, we decided to just stay in since I have a hookah and some left over Shiner from my party. so, we headed to blockbuster (corporate hell) and rented some Sex in the City episodes, headed to my place and had a blast. Denise joined us a bit later and then some of my other buds came over in the late evening. Overall it was great fun. I really enjoyed hanging with Will and Denise. Good times, good conversation, great fun. It was also a fun experience to watch Sex in the City with 4 straight guys. It was a new perspective. :)

Saturday consisted of much preperations for the upcoming wedding. YEAH!! Denise, Natalie and I worked on programs and CD covers. I learned how to emboss and I loved it!! I never thought I would say something like that. If you have never embossed before, you should definitley try it. It is pretty amazing. :) Sam Moon was also on the list of things to do for the day. It is a pretty overwhelming place, but it is also Nada's heaven since it is full of unique and funky jewelry at excellent prices. I spent Saturday evening with Susie watching more Sex in the City. I love that show. It is so right on. There was one line that Carrie (one of the main characters on the show) says that really hit home with me. Her boyfriend asked her how he could get into her heart and she responded with I have been taking care of myself for a very long time now and if I let you in and let you take care of me, what happens if you are not around? Her boyfriend says, where am i going? she says, what if you are out of town or on vacation or things between us fall apart. It was so right on for me. No matter who it is, family, friends, lovers, if you let someone in, there is always the risk you will get hurt. i have been hurt many times in the past, so it is hard for me to let others in, but once i make the decision that a person is worth letting in, i fall pretty hard. It is not good, but i guess that is what you get for being an emotional nimwit. :) So, Susie let me talk for an hour or so about next weekend and how I am so excited about everything, but that things are still a bit awkward for me. I told her that I want Mark and Natalie's wedding weekend to be PERFECT. They deserve it. Susie, I love you, thanks for listening, it helped a lot.

Sunday, I woke up at 8. oh my god, that is so early for me. So, i decided to go ahead and get up, started some laundry, did some grocery shopping, bought a new skirt and some new shoes for the rehearsal dinner. I was done with all my errands before 1, how great is that? Well, Will and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean, but it was sold out, so we say Legally Blond 2 instead. Now, I really enoyed Legally Blond 1, but the sequel was pretty poor. The only redeeming quality of the movie was that the main theme was that one person can make a difference in this world. I do believe that, so it was cool in that apsect, but overall, not such a good movie. Then, Will, Ted and I headed to City Hall to see Howard Dean (Democratic Presedential Candidate) speak. It was a good experience. I liked what he had to say. He talked about equal rights for everyone (including womens rights and gay rights). He talked about how race and ethnicity should not separate us. He is also anti war and he talked a lot about healthcare. He said that all kids in Vermont have healthcare. I believe that if other countries can provide basic healthcare for their citizens, how come we can't? I am not sure about the whole healthcare issue, i need to do some more research, but Will, Ted and I talked about it last night and they gave me some new ideas to chew on. Let me know if you have any ideas about why we cant supply basic healthcare to our citizens? Anyway, i liked what Dean had to say. He also said a quote that i thought was really great. He said that one of his coworkers told him to give them hell before his speech. He replied with "All I have to do is tell the truth and they will think its hell". The quote was first spoken by Truman, but i really liked it because things in our economy and politically speaking right now really are pretty bad. Anyway, off to do some more work. Have a great day.
