Lovely weekend. Went over to M’s on Friday night with another friend . She had five different kinds of cheese and French baguettes and I had three different kinds of wine and flight of the conchords. Delicious and funny times. Wasn’t home till close to three.

Saturday we woke up fairly earlish for us and headed out to the farmers market. Well, we had a pit stop in between. Namely a flat tire. The boy taught me how to change a flat then we brought it over to a nearby garage. The tires were fairly new so we were pretty sure all the tire needed was a patch. While they were looking at it, we headed over to the market and had a fun time, snacking on free samples, having delicious farmers sausage and buying fresh produce. Love doing it! We generally circle around once, see what’s there and then circle around again.

One of these days I am going to get there early, even if it kills me. There is a much better selection the earlier you go. I am just not a morning person and if I don’t ‘have to be’ up, why would I be? Is it a good thing or a bad thing that the boy exact same way and we would both rather just lie in bed together just a ‘little bit longer.’ (cue us pounding the snooze button like twenty times this morning-arg Mondays)

Afterwards went back to the garage and the tire was salvageable. Hurrah! After another wait, he dropped me off at the used bookstore and went off to do manly things at home depot, while I cruised the books. I walked back home and stopped at the l.c along the way and got some oh so classy wine in a can because I had company and I knew she would be amused. K and I caught up for the rest of the afternoon/evening and yes she was amused by the canned wine. The boy had been doing renovations in the basement and I was pretty chill, so we ended up just catching a late film, then going out for wine and crab cakes afterwards. It was nice to do something sort of ‘datey.’ Every once in awhile, even on a budget, it is nice to dress up a bit and go do date type things.

For some reason though, I couldn’t sleep and fell asleep in an uncomfortable position when I finally did. The next day I was up early though. Well early for me. Nine thirty and didn’t actually move out of the bed till around elevenish.

We had phoned a pub to see if they would be showing the World Cup and they said they would be. So since we love their brunches, we decided to walk down there for brunch. Just a fourty five minute walk and it was a beautiful sunny day. Only once we got there they had a note saying there had been an equipment function. Wtf is that? So we had to quickly phone our friends, who luckily happened to be staying with their parents near by, but had just woken up and they drove us all down to the backup pub. Surprisingly not that busy and far too many Spanish fans. I think the bar tender jinxed the team when he saw my shirt and said, ‘You do realize the irony of the Netherlands winning in South Africa of all places’

Since Spain didn’t score till the 116th minute, it was a long afternoon…and more then a couple of drinks and so it was a lot of fun. The only bad part was we had intended to do plenty of house/shopping things and by the time we got home it was almost four-thirty. Just enough time to hit up home depot again and do grocery shopping for the next week. Then the boy decided he was in charge of lunches this week and made most of our lunches for the week.

I was positively lazy and watched the Tudors while doing practical computer things that I have been meaning to do for ages. Like organize all my photos from the last five years and try to delete duplicates. Organize my itunes and make sure they all have names and artists and create new playlists. Finally I attacked my personal email account. It’s my oldest account. I first opened it up in like 1999 or something like that as part of an assignment for a computer course I was taking. Despite the fact that I am supposed to be an archivist someday, I still occasionally let it get out of control and then have to spend an hour or two, sorting, organizing and deleting. It’s not the answering people that I find the problem, it’s the after part and since it’s not my work email, I don’t find it quite as urgent to do. I was exhausted Sunday evening and in bed by eleven, so that was all I could manage.

I also reffed a mini fight that broke out on my facebook between two random people I have on facebook. One guy I interned with and the other I used to work with in high school and later met again at a history conference. Slightly intense, well as intense as football debates can get, over my comment about the Spanish being excellent at acting and diving. Oh yes. I went there.

All around good weekend. Nothing crazy but still fairly busy. I feel accomplished.
Tonight I have ultimate and I will on Thursday as usual. Last week we lost both our double headers but on the second game we managed to come back from 8-2 at half to loose by 12-15 at the end. So it felt like a come back victory.

The bruise came and spread a little bit to one eye, which kinda just makes me look really really tired and puffy.

Practical cleaning things must be done this week and I am hoping to get back into the exercise video and buy a new one and a new bike!

Oh beginning of the week. It looks like so much can be done.
