the weekend blur

Is it wrong that I have to look at my calender to remember what I did on Friday? Hmm...
I do remember that it was an "ugly day." I lost count of how many outfits I tried on before settling on one I could leave the house wearing. Thank goodness Tiff is a patient person. Catholic studies turned the day around, however, and I am very greatful to Dr. Thompson for that.
Later there was shopping, Mexican food, a very chill SPO party, and a house bonding night (minus Cat) in the penthouse suite. It ended with Jenny hiding popcorn in Tiff's bed, crutons on the shower, canned goods in the laundry basket, and who knows what else. The calls at 12:35, 12:53, 1:10, 1:40, and 1:42 were a bit excessive but I think it had to happen.
Saturday Nate and I went to the Mall to get him a suit for a wedding this weekend.
I know nothing about suits. Absolutely nothing. We didn't get a suit. We, and by we I mean myself, did get shoes, two sweaters and a pair of pants for a grand total of...too much. He made me do it..really.
In case you were wondering Norah Jones, while very talented and even quite pretty, has no stage presence whatsoever. Watching from the floor of the Excel was still a treat even though Josh, my partner for the evening, wouldn't dance with me. I told him it was the perfect date concert and couldn't we just pretend we were on a date? He said he doesn't know how to dance and that the defibulator and first aid bag we're required to carry at all times might get in the way. Pish posh.Davanni's at 11pm on a Saturday was, as expected, filled with freshmen but I was starving so I made an exception and stayed to order my pizza. At least I got it to go.

The Common Ground dryer is possessed. Instead of just going for the cycle I program it for, it just continues around the dial again and again. This means that putting a load in there assuming it will stop after the 40 minutes it was set for DOESN'T WORK. My clothes were so hot after having been in there for five hours that I couldn't even fold them last night hence the piles of clothes on my floor today. I abhor cleaning with a passion.

Mom and I went to Sam's club and Common Ground is now...
64 boxes of Mac and Cheese
90 hotdogs
90hotdog buns
3 flats of bottled water
3lbs of butter
2 gallons of milk
...richer. BIG MAC AND CHEESE BLOWOUT! Tomorrow. 5-7. Here we go.
Cat "borrowed" my oranges for a many mile run today. I figured since I've spent the afternoon in my hot, stifling room folding and putting away clothes and am still whining about the heat I could donate my oranges to someone motivated enough to run around in it.
