i was so sleepy after eating tacos and watching movies that i could barely hold my eyes open. instead of going to bed like a normal human being, i decided to take a nap while half laying down/half sitting indian style and rest my head on my shoulder. so i spent about 3 hours in a sort of self conscious half sleep while a washed dishes and folded his laundry and puttered around the house. now it's 3:30 and i am wide awake.
i did whip up a little marinara to cook in the slow cooker and the dough for some no knead bread. i also looked at nothing on facebook for 30 minutes.
mom and dad had to put bogey to sleep today. which makes me sad, but it's the kind of sad that i can push down. one of those situations that's sort of on the edge of making me cry and feel bad, but i also feel totally removed. i guess it just feels like another thing from my childhood/youth that has disappeared.
a & i had a really great weekend. friday night at toot's (and we actually had fun). saturday we went to jess & kris's baby shower. the people throwing it had a beautiful house in north knoxville. love those neighborhoods around there. after the shower we went to see bob zellner speak at the beck cultural center. he was the first white field secretary for SNCC and had worked under MLK Jr., so very interesting. Cassie organized the discussion; he was one of her professors in college. We went to the new tapas place in market square for dinner - really delicious. great glass of wine, the most perfect skirt steak and potatoes aioli (codfish balls just meh). then to backroom and had some whisky sodas. this is the point where we were about to be grown-up and responsible and go home at a reasonable hour. as we were walking to our car, we ran into peter lawson and his girlfriend. so we went with them to urban bar. 3 more drinks later and we were tipsy enough to make bad decisions about the rest of our night. up all night long. way too much to drink. smoked so many cigarettes it kind of makes me sick thinking about it.
so this week and weekend we are taking it really easy. cleaning and organizing, cooking healthy food, watching movies and reading. maybe some hot chocolate. we're never going to get our shit together if we keep acting so silly. but it's so much fun. a asked me if i thought some other couple friends of ours stay up until the wee hours drinking and talking, and i think they might to a point, but i don't think they get as out of control as us. oh well. it's done and sunday was kind of a bust (since i spent the whole of it in bed). i just know we can enjoy so many more things if the hangover stays away. we need a new way of being entertained and a new way to blow off steam.
i went to the gym with liz tonight for a little bit. really does make you feel a little better.
determined to run a 5k by my birthday. katie says she will run it with me.
also determined to wear a great dress on my birthday.
so maybe more than 25 min. at the gym is in order. and maybe not 3 tacos before taking an 11pm nap would be smart.
at least they were turkey.
