Labor Day Weekend
Last week flew by in the blink of an eye. I've been pretty busy both at work and outside of it. By the time the weekend rolled around, I was looking forward to a bit of relaxing, and I was thankful that I hadn't made any plans to go away.
Friday night was a nice little get-together at Scott and Alison's as a few of us hung out with Sabine one last time before she headed back to Vienna for a couple of months. As usual, Scott's cooking was fantastic. And their new kitchen and rennovations are beautiful!
Saturday was a blissfully quiet day, I got a few groceries and hung out with Lisa F. That evening, we went to see "The Nanny Diaries" with Colleen and then later, Lisa and Anthony and I went out for a drink.
Sunday I did a bit of reading (Game of Thrones by George RR Martin) and then went to the early show of Cirque de Soleil at Harbour Station. I'd picked up a singel ticket at the last minute and was I ever glad I did! I was 3rd row from the front, on the side on the floor and it was a great spot to be. Talk about a fun and inspiring show. the set and costumes and makeup and music were awesome - and the talent of the performers was fantastic! I was pretty wowed by most of the stunts. It is really worth seeing in person!
After Cirque, I caught up with Harry, who was in town to do tear-down for the show. We had enough time to grab a quick bite to eat before he had to head to work and I headed to the valley to play D&D. It was a fun game where we got to do a bit of role-playing.
Late Monday morning, I went for a brisk walk around the outer trail of the nature park with Matt. It felt good to get out and do something active. Perfect weather for it too. I headed out to Jay & Lisa'a for a 2 PM viewing of Resident Evil 1 & 2. I think they were especially entertaining to watch thanks to the running commentary from Keith and Anthony. :-) I stuck around for a BBQ'd burger dinner and caught up a bit with Jay and Lisa, then I headed home to start watching Heroes. You see, I hadn't seen any of season 1 yet and I'd like to watch it before season 2 starts. I watched the first 3 episodes and was totally hooked and had to force myself to go to bed. :-)
So all-in-all it was a great weekend and I feel refreshed and ready for a short week. I have a feeling this week is going to fly by as well!
