Highlights from my weekend

So I had a really great weekend! I was jonesing to get out of the fucking office on Friday afternoon. It seems everyone else's boss lets them leave early on Friday, but mine. I know I should be thankful that I just have a job but uh, I'm still irritated.

Friday we went to M's college town to watch an exhibition game. It was such an asskicking that we were cheering for the other team - just a little bit :) After we went out for a few drinks, which I personally always enjoy. Something that is really amazing - no smoking in bars takes place effectively Jan 1st, but a lot of bars are starting early! I'm so stoked, I really hate smoking, so needless to say I'm over the moon about this new law.

Saturday we cleaned our cars with M's shop vac. Wanda needed a good cleaning. It was quite cathartic actually. That night we went to dinner with some people and out for drinks to celebrate M's friend from hs' birthday. Good times. There was this other couple there, and the dude was married to another woman for like 15 years, but they had been separated for a long time and he and this he and this girl I was talking to had been together like 6 years. She was really open and cool, and it was really interesting hearing about other people's life that is a little less than what is considered "normal".

I have this Wednesday off because it is Veteran's Day. I'm going to my parents because a family friend of ours was shot in Afghanistan and he is doing his rehab where my parents live. I'm really glad that I can take the time to go see him. He is such a fighter and he has been through SOOOO much. I should do it every year, but this year I am really thinking about all those that have/do fight for our freedom.

See y'all Wendesday.
