Okay, I'm starting my extended Holiday weekend recap early while I wait for my laundry.

Friday night I left work a little early, everyone else in the postdoc office had gone already. I went home to take care of the dogs and then went back to Kendall to meet Jos at work and walk to the Garment District. we wanted to get stuff for our 80s themed long run saturday morning. so i got some sunglasses, bracelets, sweatband and then 2 real shirts, not 80s stuff but i did end up wearing the orange shirt w/ axes to the 80s run just because it was orange and matched my sunglasses. everything there was 50% off so i got 2 $30 shirts for $15 each which is a great deal so not only did i get stuff for the run but i got real stuff too.

after garment district we met meghan at the asgard for dinner before the vagina monologues at MIT. while at dinner the waiter spilled joslynn's tartar sauce and coleslaw all over her and the floor. very ackward! maybe 15 minutes later another guy dropped a dish right behind me and a big piece of it hit me in the back. hello! did we do something? are we making you nervous? anyway, we got our wine for free. we would have gotten another round for free but we had to get to the vagina monologues.

went to the vagina monologues at MIT. sat in the second or third row. it was my first time. my stomach was making really loud noises and i felt bad because it was REALLY LOUD. but i was getting my period and had bad cramps. i apologized to meghan at the end because i was sitting next to her. she said she could try to lie and say she didn't hear but it'd be too obvious she was lying, she heard. all that talk about vaginas really made me want to have sex :0( it was mostly funny but very sad too. not that i love my vagina, nowhere near, i hate it more than anything else but i feel like i'm at least more in touch w/ it than the stories in the vagina monologues. we were supposed to meet rachel there but we totally forgot and just sat down w/out looking for her. i didn't remember until halfway thru the show when i leaned to jos and said something about forgetting rachel and we laughed a bit. saw her at the end; luckily she was w/ other people. believe it or not but we went home after, made it an early night. had to get up early for the long run. got home and talked to db for a little, he was in san fran which reminded me that i didn't actually call naomi and wish her a happy bday (she lives in san fran). so i called her, it was still friday her time and we talked until 2:30 my time. went to bed until 7:30 when i got up for the long run.

put on my 80s stuff, blue eye shadow, side ponytail and took the t to central. not sure if people thought i was crazy or not. the run was kinda fun actually, as fun as a 14 mile run can be in a windchill of 8 degrees. the hosts planned a route all over boston so we could look like weirdos all over town. after 2 hrs 20 min were back at damian and justin's and got to eat some french toast and drink kool-aid and tang and listen to 80s music. stayed for a bit and then took off. i was freezing and needed a shower. after my shower i was going to do laundry but didn't have enough money so instead started watching '10 things i hate about you.' so it was supposed to be a good movie and i'd never seen it and then heath died so like everyone else i put it at the top of my netflix queue and it said long wait but lucky for me it wasn't a long wait for me. didn't get through it all yesterday. ended up going to the south end for a play, 'Speed the Plow.' jake's bf's theater company was performing it so i wanted to go and represent. tara and chris went too along w/ ban and michael. after the play we went to boston beer works where i tried to calorie load after my 14 miles. i hadn't really eaten much all day so had cheeseburger, o-rings and a beer. after dinner we hit the cask. when i was in undergrad the cask was my hangout. loved it there! then they redid it and made it huge and ridiculous so now it's not what it used to be. the music wasn't so bad so it was fun but i wasn't drinking so it wasn't as fun as it could have been plus i had my period and i wasn't prepared for the flow. yuck! got to talk to db when i got home, that was good and bad. went to bed around 4am.

got up about 11am on sunday. for some reason decided to make myself scrambled eggs and toast. burned the scrambled eggs because i'm addicted to my laptop but they still tasted fine. finished watching '10 things i hate about you.' went to the atm to deposit a check and get cash for laundry, went to whole foods and cvs. haven't been to whole foods in a long time. hate food shopping. never know what to get. i don't think it's important enough to spend money on food. so i got lots of randomness: skim milk, Ciao Bella sorbetto!, lowfat chocolate milk, peanut butter, Kozy Shack rice pudding!, supersweet frozen corn, Bolthouse Berry Smoothie!, fresh carrots, bananas, cheddar, snow cone cookies!, and ciabatta bread.

the skim milk most likely will get thrown out unopened when it expires, bananas will get thrown in the freezer when they turn brown, bread will get moldy, sorbetto will get freezer burn, maybe the other stuff will get eaten. i just wanted to make the carrots. i love cooked carrots, used to hate them! asked db for help. i know it's silly to need help to cook carrots but i've never done it before. boiled them and then added olivio and honey because i didn't have brown sugar. they were real good! while i was making the carrots i started drinking wine. i wanted to cut back on the alcohol because it's been causing some problems but i needed it today. ended up drinking the whole bottle. helped me to do my laundry. ended up getting lots of laundry done, drunk i guess is good for some things, but i did forget my keys and was locked out until a nice English girl let me in after i started buzzing all the apts. in my building until she answered and then came down to physically let me in and see i wasn't a crazy person, fooled her! guess i needed a day to myself so i don't forget what a loser i am. lots of crying today and wallowing. fun fun!

can't wait until tomorrow

so it's monday and i have the day off. got up around 11am. talked to tara who got me to get out the door asap and go running. did my 7 miles. it wasn't pretty, my body felt slow, but it was for some reason 63 degrees so i can't complain. had just enough time to shower and get to the movie theater to meet mark. we saw 'step up 2,' yay! the dialogue was cheesy but the dancing was pretty good. the soundtrack could have been better but there were some good songs. then we went to BHP about 4:30 and stayed until 11. syracuse played on espn at 7 against louisville and it was on at the BHP so i had to stay. mark got to see my obnoxious self watching an su game though i was very tame this time. su lost unfortunately. didn't make it to joslynn's dinner party. sorry jos i already had plans w/ mark and didn't want to ditch. thanks mark for a fun day!! and all your advice :0)

now i'm home and back to my silly cry baby self. what is wrong w/ me?
