the weekend
after an up and down kind of week, i ended up having an exceedingly pleasant weekend.
friday night we went to the rufus concert at the riv, and i enjoyed it quite a lot, even though we missed the beginning and i was not feeling all that great. i knew the songs much better, and had new favorites. j. an i commented on how hot eurotrash girls are, and we talked to a couple of friends who were there for a minute. then we went home, made love, got stoned, and watched 'deep space nine' on dvd. like the in love geeks that we are.
saturday we went shopping and i bought a pleather skirt and a couple of hats, and we went to a pal's birthday party in the evening. the circle was mostly friends from my church, and time with them is always easy and fun. it was a 'white trash dinner' party, and we brought chocolate rice krispy treats. someone else brought grain alcohol punch, and boy did that burn going down!
church on sunday was pretty powerful. the choir got a standing ovation. and i had a nice unplanned lunch with long time friend cubfan. she and i have known each other for about 6 years, and i think she sees me pretty well. and i her. she had some wise things to say about my lenten contemplations, which i will write about in another entry.
and i had good phone conversations with my dad and my mom. mom is still in albuquerque taking care of her mother, who broke her hip last weekend. it is interesting how differently each of my parents talk to me when they are not around each other, particularly my father. we talked for a record 25 minutes, and i learned things about him that i had never known, like that he mentors young people who are interested in entering the ministry. who knew??
sunday night was as varied and fun as an evening at home watching tv could have possibly been. j. and i ordered pizza and had an insightful discussion of spirituality and faith, and then watched the heart wrenching final episode of 'sex and the city' (man, what a tear jerker. but it got the life affirming point across. and i realized that i am in a relationship where i could willingly offer to let my SO's parent move in with us. woa.), followed by the jarring hilarity of "curb your enthusiasm". then we moved on to a new porn dvd that j. got for his birthday, and after fun dirty sex, read for a bit and fell asleep cuddling.
other notes:
i am falling in love with 'firefly'. i seem to be talking about television a lot lately, when it honestly is a small part of life, but i find it a nice way to relax. the journey my mind takes during a 45 minute episode makes me feel like i have been resting for much longer than that. it's nice. and i am beginning to care way too much about the characters in 'firefly'. it will be sad when it's over, and i don't feel that way really about either 'buffy' or 'angel'. why is it not still on the air? i really don't understand.
lent: another entry about that coming soon.
mardi gras party tomorrow night. i think there are 26 people attending this year. i have to dig out my beads, and am tempted to wear my super fun beaded top that i bought in santa fe. hmmm...
