I’ve had so many thought swimming through my head these past couple of days…I’m probably not going to manage to get them all down!
Yesterday, ah…it was marvelous. Amazing. Please see all things jen(nifer) for more details. š I did not enjoy lovely Elmwood yesterday with her, as I was entertaining my little. I was surprised at how easy that was. I was actually concerned because I didn’t have real plan. I had originally planned to bring her here last Monday for dinner, but then it was the worst. day. ever. So I went with Saturday…figuring we could watch a movie, play some games.
She was so excited. She loved my apartment, and just couldn’t get over how big and nice it was. When she saw the DVD player, she asked me if she could watch her new B2K DVD that came with the CD she just bought…so I got schooled on who the “finest” member of B2K is. š We tried to play Clue, before remembering that Clue sucks with two people, and then we played Connect 4. We went over to ghetto Rite-Aid to get some snacks, watched part of a movie on Disney (The Even Stevens Movie, thank you…), and then I let her play on the computer for a while.
“Your house is so fun.” she told me on the way home. “I could never get bored.”
Yay. š
So then, of course, Jen and I went to see Shakespeare. One day, I will remember that, no matter how nice out it is when I leave for Shakespeare, it gets COLD when the sun goes down. Brr. But the play was wonderful. I was a little ambivalent about it…I don’t know the histories, and wasn’t sure if I would care about Henry IV at all…but hot looking talented men always make things more interesting. š
The wedding taking place at the Casino was sort of loud and rowdy, but they definitely sounded like they were having fun. I felt a little strange giggling uncontrollably during the Dramatic Climax! of Henry IV, Part I because I recognized the bridge of Firehouse’s Love of a Lifetime wafting over from the reception.
It had to be a joke, right? No one, in 2004, wants this song played at their wedding for real, right? I’m going to pretend that’s what it was…the bride confessed that, when she was in high school, she wanted it to be her wedding song, and so the groom secretly had the DJ play it for her. Yeah, that’s definitely it…
And now it’s a lazy Sunday morning. I’m trying to decide which book I should read next. I have a pile of at least four…plus six or eight that Jen has…plus the four I just requested from the library…oh, what I wouldn’t do for a couple of weeks to do nothing but read, read, read.
No jobs for me in the paper this week. Keep thinking good thoughts for me on the Catholic school job I just interviewed for. I want a classroom so bad I can taste it.
