weekend top 5.

friday.

1. i got out of work at 3:30 p.m. because i had worked late the night before at the open house.
2. i had every intention of going straight home and taking a nap.
3. i didn't go straight home (i stopped to get gas on the way) and i didn't take a nap (i cleaned my room and paid bills online).
4. WHY AM I SUCH AN ADULT?
5. i met leah at starbucks at 6:30ish (which means we had planned to meet at 6, but we're both always late) and stayed there and talked until they were closing and our clothes were completely saturated in starbucks smell. because that's how we do.

saturday.

1. my mom's birthday!
2. i woke up at 8 a.m. to hang out with her, slash make sure she didn't hide out in her office and work all morning.
3. i ended up hiding out in her office and working for a couple of hours. (she had a client with a deadline and i didn't want her to do it.)
4. we spent the rest of the afternoon watching the end of the cutting edge and the beginning of fever pitch. i forgot how much i actually like the cutting edge and how much fever pitch sort of makes me want to be a red sox fan. sort of. not really.
5. heather, t, josh, and i all helped make dinner for my mom. t and i did the bulk of it and we made 13 pieces of lemon chicken on the stovetop, which felt like a marathon. but it all worked out nicely and it was DELICIOUS.

sunday.

1. t's birthday!
2. i went to church at crossroads and saw three short presentations about this year's missions trips to guatemala. this pretty much just added fuel to my i-want-to-go-on-a-missions-trip fire.
3. the afternoon was filled with speed scrabble, scattergories, wii baseball and boxing, and lots of good times.
4. birthday dinner was lasagna, which was SO yummy, and dessert was death by chocolate with reese's peanut butter cups, which is my FAVORITE. i'm so glad we're practically the same person.
5. t got an iphone 4s and she was totally and completely surprised. i wish i had thought to record her reaction because it was the best part of the whole day.

(oh, i also watched some of the ama's last night, but i don't really feel like that's worth mentioning.)

i basically feel like i need a weekend to recover from my weekend. i would say that i'm excited that this weekend is a four-day weekend, but i'm starting it out by running a 5k that i'm not at all prepared for, so i will probably spend the rest of the long weekend recovering from that experience.

however, i AM excited for this weekend because you know what happens once thanksgiving is over? CHRISTMAS TIME OFFICIALLY BEGINS. and you know what that means? CHRISTMAS MUSIC.

okay. enough with the yelling. i need to go do laundry and maybe even hop on the treadmill for a minute or two.
