So......

My weekend.

Friday, after work, Ghostie came over and we played a game of my favorite board game ever: Road To The White House.  In fact, since the first game went by so quickly, we played two games. I lost both, but I didn't care because 1) I LOVE that game (it's my favorite, have I mentioned that?), and 2) I drank an entire bottle of gold digger wine. The first game ended with a very close margin, but the second one was almost blowout.  But eh, it's a great game, and I was tipsy, so it's all good.

Saturday, I got up (slightly hungover, if I'm being honest) and got to work.  But as planned I only worked half a day.  I left at noon.  I came home for a while, with the possibility of a 'gentleman caller' stopping by for some fun (which didn't end up happening).  So I spent time reading, on the computer and actually napping a little bit.

Then, at the appropriate time, I got up, changed my clothes and headed out to my friend Michelle's.  From her place we drove to Frederick MD and ate at Casa Rico.  She and I had eaten there about a year and a half ago, and I've been wanting to get back there since there....but haven't been able to get there.  So back we went this time.  And it was just as delicious this time as it was a year and a half ago!  We had a great meal, she had great drinks, we had great conversation and a fun time!

Following this, we drove to the Other Voices Theater.  There, we saw "Chicago".  And from the front row.  I love that musical, and it was great to see it so close up.  Especially with the 5 hot, scantily clad college-aged guys who had minor parts, but lots of dance scenes.  All in all, the show was fun and entertaining!

I dropped Michelle off at her place and came home. I got a call from my fuckbuddy Derick on the way home, and once I was here he stopped by for a quickie.  Afterwards, I was laying on the sofa on my phone playing a game or what have you, and I fell asleep.  And I spent all night on the sofa. With the a/c on and the ceiling fan blowing.  And that dried out my head and gave me a small nagging headache. 

Sunday for lunch, mom and I were supposed to go get lunch, like we do most Sundays.  But with the nagging headache I didn't feel like it.  So instead, she went to KFC and bought us lunch and brought it here.  I spent the rest of the day on the sofa (like i hadn't spent enough time there) on the computer, reading, or again, napping a bit.  Also, later in the day, I had a visit from a another gentlemen caller and we had some fun.

Following that, I paid some bills and wanted to get them in the mail.  It had been stinking hot and humid ALL DAY, but as it was then after 7PM, and I wanted to try walking and see how my toe did, so off I went.  (See the walk post below)  My toe did okay, and I had a good walk.

That night I slept in my bed.

Monday morning, I got up and went to mom's.  She then drove us to Chambersburg to a specific show store my podiatrist had recommended.  He said the people who work there are professionals and find a shoe that fits your foot.  We walked in, the place didn't look like it was there for long, kinda thrown together, and the two people working there were college kids.  I thought, "Great, these two aren't gonna know ANYTHING." 

Well the girl came over, I explained was going on  and that the doctor recommended we come there.  She measured my feet and then went into the back.  She came out with five boxes of sneakers.  She tried them each on me, stringing them up, putting them on, etc.  I can't even remember the last time someone PUT shoes on me!  Since college, perhaps high school, I've been going to Super Shoes or Payless and buying my shoes on my own.  I remember as a kid going to shoe store downtown, but geez, that HAD to be circa 1980 or earlier.

Anyway, the girl did know her shit.  She said she went to Lockhaven and she's going to end up being a Physician's Assistant when all is said and done, and so she likes doing this kinda stuff.  Well, she did it VERY well.  I ended up buying two sets of sneakers, one that was on sale (she brought one of those over herself without me even asking).  They felt so comfortable!

Following this, mom need to go to the AAA, next door to it is the new Comics World  store location. I just wanted to wander around and see what's there....and I ended spending money buying some graphic novels!  I have no self-control.

Following this we went to Wal-Mart, and then we came home.

I started doing laundry, and discovered I had no dryer sheets.  So after putting a load in, I went to the grocery store.  To get some.  To just get dryer sheets.  And then, two bags and $58 dollars later, I left the store.  *SIGH*

And so that gets me to where we are now.  Now, I plan on finishing the laundry, reading some more, doing more stuff on the computer and then going to bed.

A good weekend.
