And How Was Your Weekend?

Ari says:
Mine was great! Friday was a crazy day at work, but my husband was sweet enough to send me 2 dozen roses, so that made the day infinitely better. My boss treated me to lunch and then I practically ran out the door to head home. Angela came over for a bit, thus shortening the time that I had to wait until the book release at Barnes and Noble. She finally left me to fend time off for myself and I settled for watching some tv and preparing for the long night ahead of me. I met up with Laura and George at B&N right at midnight and we patiently waited in line for our books whilst teenagers garbed in cloaks and prom dresses (apparently prom dress screams "vampire") thronged the checkout counter for their books. Soon enough I was home with my books and I settled in for a long night of reading. Saturday nooned (it's like "dawned" only later) and I drug myself out of bed to do some more reading and get ready for my day with Angela. She was treating me to a pedicure and a viewing of The Dark Knight. Why all the special treatment? Well, Saturday was my 27th birthday. We endured the foot scraping and then hustled over for the movie. Let me tell you that this one actually lives up to the hype. I will be completely honest and tell you that I thought all the Oscar talk for Heath Ledger was a bit ridiculous and was really only being done because he died. Well, I was very wrong. The movie was amazing... or ask I kept repeating: epic. Go see it. I beg you, and please go see it in the theater. This is one that needs and deserves to be seen properly. After shaking ourselves from shock from the movie, Angela and I went over to McAllister's for dinner. We both enjoyed our sandwiches and decided it was time to chill. We hung out at my place for a bit, but I was totally boring and Angela soon headed home to let out her puppy. I, of course, immediately delved back into my book. Sunday I finished up with "Breaking Dawn" and then decided to take it easy. I had originally planned to clean up the apartment in preparation for Sally and Julia coming in, but I had hurt my wrist at work on Friday (if there were a good story behind it I would tell you, but there isn't) and by Sunday it was actually really bothering me. As of today I have full mobility back, but it is still sore and I can't put much pressure on it. Weird. So, I spent Sunday watching Smallville episodes and just relaxing. I must give a huge thank you to Angela for an awesome birthday, to my lovely husband for my gorgeous roses, and to all my fantastic friends and family for the cards and well wishes. Of course my Mom went a bit over the top with the shoes, but I didn't really mind at all. Anyway, it was a wonderful weekend that went entirely too quickly; but then again, don't they all?
