So this weekend was pretty fun in comparison to the bore that the rest of the week was.

Friday was still a little boring… and cold, but at least I was able to relax a bit.  Joe and I have started a weekly habit of going to Skyline on Friday nights at midnight since we’ve been fasting through Fridays since the start of Lent.  So I started walking there a few minutes before midnight even though it was cold and icy… I thought the news reports on how icy it actually was were a bit overblown and just walked anyway.  Before even reaching the end of my driveway, I nearly busted my ass a couple of times, and a couple times more just crossing the street and a parking lot… and a couple more times walking up Skyline’s sidewalk to the door, only to find it locked.  A sign on the door told me that they had closed just minutes before I got there due to the weather.  What suckage.  So I walked down the street a little bit just for the hell of it and then took a path home where the sidewalks were a little bit more devoid of ice.  When I got back home I cooked a steak.  It was awesome.

Saturday I woke up, chilled out for a bit them went and got the Skyline that I missed out on, watched a movie and chilled out a bit.  Later that evening I went to my cousin Mike’s place in Kentucky to hang out with him, Greg, Chris, Nick, and of course Joe… and uhh… to summarize my drive there, Google Maps fails to give the alternate name of a road… a road that just happens to have another road by the same name half a mile away.  When I finally did make it there we had a blast.  We were up until like.. 6am playing video games.  It was a great way to just let go of everything for a night.   In the morning I got home around noon and tried to take a nap, but that didn’t go so well.

Aunt Jean was in town for a short while and Mom decided to host a party for the Langguth family so Joe, Kristen and myself left for Franklin around 2:00 or so.  We had dinner, planned a “group trip” to Chicago in the summer, and socialized a bit before coming back home around 8pm or so.  Since I didn’t get much sleep the night before, I made sure things were in order around my place and hit the hay early.

All-in-all, a pretty good weekend.  Of course, any weekend I don’t spend bored and alone seems to fit that qualification for me.
