A lovely weekend
May. 26th, 2008 08:58 pmHi.
I had a lovely weekend, indeed.
Really nice and relaxing.
I went to the art fair yesterday and saw Patchouli (and got their new album) and that was very cool and fun, in part because they were set up in a tent that was ring by a heavily leaning willow tree and we sat on the trunk to listen which felt sort of like (horizontal) tree climbing. It was a beautiful day and a perfect day for an art fair *and* a concert. Afterwards Fleet and I walked around some of the fair (we also hit some of the fair before the show) and found a guy who makes small wood carvings of animals which are very cute and *then* he photographs them in a really colorful way (like a small Kiwi bird with kiwi fruit, and zebras among bar codes) and I bought three prints and then four cards that I can frame and I love them quite a lot. When I find his card I'll link to his site. It really is fantastic.
Today my mom had the wonderful idea that my family should have a barbeque in Lincoln Park and so that is what we did. And Fleet went and met my whole family. And my mom's boyfriend was there and his daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren.
And you know what?
It was awesome.
I was so thinking it would be a hassle or tiring or annoying or *something* and really it was perfect. Fleet got along well with *everyone* and they all seemed to like him a lot. The food was good, the company was fun and the weather was absolutely lovely.
It really was an excellent day. Then Fleet and I came back here and I dozed while he futz about, mostly online. He just went home and I am going to go to bed soon because I am back at work tomorrow. Woo!
Not full time, unless I feel like I can handle it. But still.
I have been sleepy but not really been all that strenuous this weekend so I have been soldiering through. This week will be interesting.
Now I am going to go read some more of "The Sandman" series. Fleet loaned me 10 volumes and I am thoroughly absorbed in them. They are really quite brilliant.
I hope everyone (well, everyone in this particular country) had a wonderful weekend and maybe took a moment to think about everyone who has fought for the United States.
And I hope everyone who didn't have the day off (because of work or because they aren't of the United States) had a lovely Monday.
xoxo
