Raisons d'Etre

{My Weekend in Photos: October 26-28, 2012}

Friday (row 1): after work I intended to go to a dance show, but that didn’t work out. So, I went to Target instead, bought myself a storage shelf, and built my bar for my apartment. I rewarded myself with a glass of red wine, a nice dinner, and watching Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

Saturday (row 2 + 3): Early morning Homecoming Breakfast event at Northwestern, which resulted in getting free tickets to the game (woo!). And Northwestern beat Iowa, so that was a bonus. Laid low the rest of the afternoon warming up after the freezing game, catching up on TV (and I started watching Nashville - I’m addicted), drinking tea and knitting. Then it was my college roommate’s birthday in the city, so I got dressed up (as Where’s Waldo) and went to her birthday bar night. They had a crazy beer menu, including some new cider I had never tried - blackberry pear. It’s amazing.

Sunday (row 4): Impromptu brunch with my roommate from last year, and then some errands and relaxation. I made a delicious pumpkin lasagna for dinner and watched my Celine Dion Las Vegas DVD (all the behind the scenes fun stuff). I finally found the motivation to go to the building’s gym, which ended up being too humid and hot so I came back to my apartment and tried to remember choreography to Britney songs from the 90’s/00’s.

Overall, it was a fantastically lovely weekend :) It was so nice to actually stay at my apartment all weekend (rather than visiting my parents), and not have to deal with that stressful commute. It was the perfect blend of being social, but letting my introvert self have time alone. But, I do miss my cat and my puppy. I don’t know when my parents are bringing my cat back.
