The Weekend!

So, this week has FLOWN by as they seem to be doing lately. It has been pretty quiet at work, although Lucy (my boss/other attorney in the office) has forewarned me that it is about to get crazy again for awhile, so I'm gearing up.

I guess the big news for the week is my contract with Verizon was finally up, so I headed on over to AT&T (the rollover minutes and the fact Denise is with them convinced me), and finally got my new phone in the mail! It is the picture to the left, the Blackberry Curve. I was so excited to get a full keyboard on my phone because all the texting I do was so tedious with a standard phone. It is so pretty! The night before I knew it was being delivered to my office I kept dreaming about it! The next day all I could do was watch out the window for the Fedex man, and try to keep the grins on my face to a minimum so my boss would not think I was insane (which I am obviously due to this much excitement over a phone). I spent that night playing with it and I'm still getting used to the features, but so far I love it. I promise after this, I will try not to spend a whole paragraph on my phone, but it's exciting people! :)

As for the weekend plans, Denise is getting in the habit of getting up early on Saturday to go to garage sales. She is a garage sale nut! I really have nothing against garage sales, and I do love to shop for used clothes, furniture, etc., but I just can't bring myself to get excited about getting up on Saturday to go look at people's stuff. Take me to good will, and I'm a happy woman, but garage sales just can't seem to rev me up. I really think it is due to my childhood trauma of having a mother who was an avid garage saler, and dreading every house we pulled up to because there was a chance someone I knew (or worse went to school with) who lived there. I had this horrific vision of showing up to school wearing the used clothes of one of my classmates. See, I went to a school where only clothes from a mall were cool and the word vintage wasn't even in the vocabulary, it was simply just someones used stuff, which meant poor and uncool. Anyway, perhaps I should be telling my therapist all this instead of the whole world, but too late. Then again, maybe I just don't like talking to random people as they stare at me checking out their stuff.... it's a toss up. :) So, I plan on staying in bed.




Saturday night we are going to see Avenue Q! I'm very excited. Basically, I have heard it is like the muppets on crack. They are vulgar, crass, and very unchristian all to a musical soundtrack. Sounds excellent! Here is a link to their website if you are interested: http://www.avenueq.com/

On Sunday we are going to my friend Justin's bar-b-q to hang out with him and his peeps, as well as support their improv comedy team Gas Money. It is rumored we will be honored with a show as well. We have gone to see several of Gas Money's comedy shows, and I must say although I might be bias, they are HILARIOUS!! I am always in awe when I see improv because I am one of those people who will get insulted, and think of the perfect comeback the next day, so I am always impressed that improv people can think of a comeback that is not only perfect but hilarious instantly! If you are interested in Gas Money, here is their Myspace Page http://www.myspace.com/gasmoneyimprov Check it out!!

One final note, Denise started cooking school this past week! She has class Wednesday nights from 6:30-10:30 for 24 weeks I think. She already loves it and informed me that her knife skills have already improved tremendously. I'm not sure if I should be happy or scared from that comment, but all I know is I'm very excited for her and it is great to see her loving something so much. Plus, I get to eat the food she makes (if it contains veggie ingredients) which is a great bonus!

Okay, here's to a fun weekend for all, and hopefully I'll be able to review Avenue Q next week!
