legs on fire

even so, i wish the weekend never ended.

another fine weekend thanks to my friends.

let's see..

friday was the dull day. i house sat, watered plants, ran errands, fed the cat, cuddled with said cat, and read, read, read. i could not put the book down. very good. i did not finish it though, i think i fell asleep.

saturday, saturday. what'd i do saturday?

i know i slept in a lot.. oh, that's right, i was still at my parents' house standing guard against perps.. as i hadn't planned out my weekend that well i hadn't brought extra clothes, etc, so i had to grunge around in my work clothes and use my dad's Old Spice deoderant. Sexy Lady :)

(dayni said it didn't matter. my friends love me even if i'm stinky. what a good friend.)

so i forget when, oh that's right, 10ish, dayni came by w/peggy and picked me up. we went to palo alto and hung at jen's. then we browsed around stanford and found Lake Dried Up Long Ago. j/k. i forget the name of the lake. i did many a practice handstand and cartwheel. somewhere in there we also had thai. yum.

then i got a ride back and then i drove myself back to milpitas to see The Interpreter w/jen. i was totally reminded of Hilde because Nicole Kidman looks like her (1), has really blond hair in that movie (2), works as an interpreter (3), has international roots (4), and even has an accent like Hilde's. sort of..

it was pretty good. jen stayed to watch sin city but i was tired and drove home (parents'). i decided to spend yet another night in the buff and wear my same old clothes again because i still had to water the lawn and my cat might have withdrawal symptoms if i ignored her for 3 days straight.

so sunday i REALLY slept in. cat and i watered the plants, put on the sprinklers, made a mini lake out of the front window garden, and i cleaned up and found beach essentials.

finally i left and went to sf where i bought fish plant and rocks. i overestimated the size of my 5 gallon tank and now have a pet rock tank. :) still no fish, but the temperature's right, at least.

anyway, that took a while, setting up the tank. andre was involved in a major overhaul of his room, removing carpet, sanding hardwood floor underneath, his stuff everywhere and plans to kill mealy bugs and scale from all his plants.

can you believe this is the abbreviated version of my weekend?

monday finally came. i was so excited. i went out around 10 to find a sunhat and orange juice. i came back at 11:05 and my friends were already arriving. oops. bad hostess.

amy brought fruit, dayni brought angelfoodcake, and jen brought lemon bars. so we cooked french toast and pancakes and had quite a yummy brunch. then to the beach.

first we had to show dayni robin william's house.

baker beach was actually peopled. dayni and i wanted to play but everything we tried - it was too windy. badminton, no. frisbie, no. it wasn't really that windy even... so then we flew kites and explored some rocks/caves. jen & amy snoozed i guess.

so i came back and snoozed a little too and did not get tan.

then amy, dayni, and i walked toward the bridge and the nudy part of the beach. hello, naked men. then we walked back.

then i think we all just lazed around, read, snoozed, oh, and i buried jen's legs. and i did not heed dayni's DIRE warnings about the sun and did not protect my (white as snow) legs which i was trying to tan. yes, now they are pink. at least it didn't hurt at the time. it was lovely actually, all warm and cozy with my friends nearby. ah.. such a pleasant day.

well, dayni had to pee and everyone was hungry so we left.

thai food again. a little pricey too. then bookstore browsing. then russian bakery. then back to my place where i regaled them with the tale of bad mommy and the garage sale fiasco. and more chitchat...

then they left! :(

that was about it. it was late and i was sooo sleepy. andre is sleeping on our landing now. his floor looks awesome. he cleaned all his plants of their pesticides too. yup, he was very busy this weekend.

i'm still tired. i think that's why this is so rambly. bye

whoopsie! i forgot to tie it all together - remember how i said the interpreter reminded me of hilde? well, she called friday but i didn't get the message until sunday. see? weird. so we'll prob do sometin soon.
