Weekend Recap: Atonement? Why bother, being bad is good.

Not much to report that I haven’t already from this weekend.

Friday stayed in w/ a bottle of wine, takeout from King and I watching TV and movies which I’ve already discussed a little in other posts. Some 21 year old dorky cute virgin boy won $1 million on 1 vs. 100. It was the first time someone won the $1 million. Then the ladies wanted him! Bitches.

Saturday spent time posting stuff. Finished one movie to start another, An Unreasonable Man, about Ralph Nader. It’s been interesting so far but it did put me to sleep so I haven’t finished it yet. Took Cleo running.

Did laundry and had a lovely conversation w/ my wonderful friend Juan. We were classmates in vet school. He calls himself my ‘vet school boyfriend.’

The closest he ever got to me is shown here, haha.

Anyway, he’s one of those guys that has no common sense and says ridiculous things. So we were actually having a normal conversation until we were getting off and he told me to have fun w/ my thongs and g-strings, or something like that, since he knew I was doing laundry. Then he said ‘you have some don’t you?’ and i should have let it go but i said yes and that they weren’t comfortable and he said i was the first girl to tell him that and i said something about i should know because i got my first ones when i was 15, and then he called me a SLUT for having thongs when i was 15 which led to his other inappropriate comment after i told him i was glad i wasn’t his kid (he said thongs lead to cigarettes and booze.) he said he was also glad i wasn’t his kid because he wouldn’t want a kid as ugly as me. thanks juan, i appreciate your loveliness. he said i was attacking him by saying i was glad not to be his kid. he’ll never learn.

i think it was after this that i gave in and played Guitar Hero for the first time. got addicted real quick which is why i didn’t want to play but my roomies were telling me how good i was for just starting so i had to keep going and quickly got a bloody cut on left ring finger proximal knuckle somehow. lots of sweating too. i just get too into things.

talked to tara for over 2 hours that night too. geez, you’d think we never get to talk or see each other :0)

played more guitar hero until bed around 1-1:30a. got up sunday morning to play more guitar hero until tara called at noon to do our 10 miler. she picked me up and we drove back to her place to run from brighton out to newton and over heartbreak hill. we did 5 miles out, 5 miles back. it was tough and hilly of course but worth it! we didn’t bring water and didn’t pass anywhere to get water so tara was pissed, she needs water and i don’t. sorry tara, never again. we’ll either bring some or make sure we pass it. i was feeling nostalgic so we went to Eagle’s Deli, i used to go there a lot when i lived in brighton and dated randy. it wasn’t the same though. different feel, different people, though my cheeseburger and cheese fries were pretty good, and the fountain diet Coke really hit the spot. we then were going to try and meet ban and sundyna to see Atonement but we only had an hour to get ready and drive into boston. we were still sweaty from our run. so we went back to tara’s and since she has 2 bathrooms, we could shower at the same time so it was quicker. tara let me borrow all the fixings to get ready including nice clean clothes and even a jacket, all i had was my sweaty running stuff. then driving to the theater, found a good parking spot on boylston, we made it just in time! that movie Atonement was not something i had any interest in seeing but it turned out to be fine though it was very depressing. we all hit the rock bottom brewery after that for a beer and some nachos while we discussed all kinds of crazy details about each other. made it home in time to catch American Gladiators and pick my marathon training plan before heading to bed much later than i should have, ~1:30a.

today work sucked. the best/worst was when we (me and my fellow postdocs) were talking to one of our mentors/senior vets about problems we had w/ CPC and he asked what i was presenting next monday. i said ‘bacteria’ and he said don’t sound so excited all sarcastic. i had to make some comment about how i hold in my excitement and he said he used to be like that until he loosened up, “not to say that you’re not loose.” i just had to walk out of the room after that.

if the people here at work only knew 1% of what i was like outside of work. it’d be awesome!

Picture of the day

This is of me and my dad one summer way back when.

meanddadatcamp

We had this camp in Constantia, NY that we spent every summer at growing up, complete with crappy camp furniture like this couchy thing we're sleeping on. I think my dad was born w/ a Yankees cap on. I can remember how comfortable I was though sleeping on my dad like this.

Cleo started her exercise plan

and was not too excited about it.

She was sleeping on my bed Saturday afternoon when I made her get up to run.

I woke her but she didn't want to move.

I kept bugging her until she finally lifted her head.

I still had to nudge and nudge her to try and get her off the bed.

Finally, out the door!

She was a good sport and ran 3 miles w/ me. She basically ran behind me the whole time, No! I wasn't dragging her. She used to run w/ me all the time but since has gotten lazy and fat so she's just not that motivated to run fast but she still did okay at about 9:30 pace.

I gave her yesterday off but today she has to do something.
